best nail color polish for engagement pics

Haleigh , on March 3, 2015 at 2:56 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13

My FH and I are taking engagement pics this weekend and I can't decide on what nail polish color to choose. I love dark nails like OPI Lincoln Park After Dark but I don't want to overpower the ring so Im also considering a neutral pink color. What did you end up deciding on or think I should do? My ring is a rose gold cushion cut with a white sapphire in the middle

    Depends on what you are wearing....I was going to make mine POP against some bright red polish, but that clashed with some of the outfits I wore so I just kept a french manicure

    This is literally The least important decision in your wedding planning. Go get a nice mani and enjoy

    I love dark nails too, but people kept telling me not to use a darker color... I ended up painting my nails a pale pink, and I regret that I listened to other people. Definitely go with what you like. Nail color really isn't a huge deal and didn't ruin the pictures or anything, but I still wish that I went with what I really wanted.

    Do what you want but if you go light pink - OPI bubble bath is really nice

    I did very light pink. Zoya - Dot is my go to for a clean, classic look.

    I would go with lighter nails. Darker ones will pop in photos, and if anything on your hands should pop it should be your nails! I went with coral and wore a gold watch because those are our wedding colors - plus coral is my favorite color.

    We took ours in the fall so I did a generic medium pinky-orange color that seemed fall-ish to me. I didn't want it to be too dramatic or for it look dated in a few years.

    When in doubt, you can't go wrong with a French mani.

    For my wedding, I did ladylike by Essie. Its kind of like a darker blushed pink. but i actually agree with emmy, not a very big decision - hell i didnt know what I was going to wear for my wedding until I went and got my actual nails done!
