Anyone doing dark bridal nails?

Holly, on September 19, 2016 at 7:53 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 23

Most people I've seen are doing natural or French manicured nails for their wedding. I got my nails done for the first time ever today to get a feel for if I liked acrylics. I chose a darker polish that's a mix of purple and grey, which happen to be our wedding colors, so I thought it might be a good pick when the day rolls around. Is anyone else considering a dramatic nail color? Should I just stick to the basics?

    Our colors are navy, gold and wine so I'm doing a dark burgundy color on my nails. I can't stand light colored nails on me.

    I like the colour! You should go with what you feel, adding that pop of colour is fun!

    I like the drama on my toes, but always tend to the lighter neutral tones on my fingers, so that's why I'm going with a sheer pink colour.

    I'm on the fence because my sister is making me question it, but I think I might do navy. I love dark nail polish and that's definitely more me than a french manicure

    Our colors are cobalt blue, silver and white. I'm thinking of going very outside the box and doing bright blue nails! I'm getting the gel polished applied since I'm not doing acrylics. They are frowned upon at my place of work (I'm a nurse) and they always tear my nails up so gel it is.

    I'm going with a darker/pink.

    Just be aware that your nails will really stand out next to your dress (if your dress is light color) and blend into FH tux (if his tux is dark colored). I would go look at wedding pictures and look at the brides nails and see if you like the way they show up.

    My nails were painted navy blue for my friend's wedding last year. I wore a blush colored bridesmaid dress. My dark nails looked awful in pics! I vote going with a neutral or light pink!

    @No that's a really good point! I'll keep my eye out.

    Thanks everyone!

    I really want to do a dark red but feel conflicted. I think I'm going to try going dark tomorrow and see how it goes. Otherwise I thought of doing a gold glitter tip that fades into nude bc my colors are black and gold

    If you want a dark color on your nails do it. Brides can have what ever colors on theirs nails.

    I plan on something like this, minus the flowers. Just the solid silver
