Nail colors for BMs

csquid, on November 7, 2013 at 2:32 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 20

My BM dresses are the color of the purple sash below. I originally wanted to get them each a nail polish color that would match the dress. I tried it on last week but FH and my mom both think it's too dark and looks kinda goth. I wanted them to match but now I'm not sure if I should even bother. What color would you suggest? Light purple? Do people even notice this sort of thing?

    Only you would. I'm just telling my girls to go for something light and neutral if they wanted to get their nails done.

    I don't think people notice it, but I am really loving nude nails... like nude colored, not polish-free.

    Ok that's sorta what I'm starting to think. FH said he likes the way french manicures look but I told him I can't make them all get fake nails lol

    I am planning on getting my BMs a coral colored nail polish for them to wear with their navy dresses. I think nude would go really well with the purple!

    I think a neutral with maybe a fun pattern.

    I thought about going darker on my own nails, but I don't want them to be the first thing people notice in photographs.

    I love the above, but silver? shimmer? french? nude? pale pink?

    What is the rest of your colors?

    I'll probably just do nude, I'm a nailpolish freak though so that will most likely change.

    I love nail polish too Jillian. almost always have mine painted which is why I thought about this. I like the nude idea a lot, my other color is silver. Paris those are beautiful and I love the coral with navy, Lisa!

    I am a dark nail polish person. I love that way a dark gray, dark red or purple, etc. goes with my fair skin. I plan on doing dark red for my wedding day, but since my girls are wearing nude/blush dresses, I may have them do a dark color so it will offset the dresses.

    I think a pale pink like the pic below would look great, and I don't think any nail polish will take away from your photos.

    I have the same thing because my bridesmaids are wearing dark purple dresses. So I was thinking something like this (without the stars) just as something fun and a little special. We're going to get our nails done together a couple days before as a relaxation moment in the crazy wedding week lol

    I don't think anyone will notice but you. I told my girls I prefer they didn't have any neon 80s colors, but otherwise am fine with their choices.

    Good call KristnB, I think that's what I'll do. I love those nails Chloe! If my girls were flying in earlier than the night before, I might want to go to get our nails done together too, sounds like fun!

    One of my girls is a nurse and one doesn't do well with fake/gel/etc nails. I still hope to have time at a salon all together, but do not care one iota what they pick, including them not picking anything is fine too.

    We went together to get our nails and toes done and I didn't really care what they did with either one. Both went for some basic gel nails with clear polish, as did I with a French manicure. Toes-we all went bright colours with a bit of design.

    I don't think it would look goth! Although I love French or nude, I really think anything will look good. You want everyone looking at you anyways Smiley smile

    I think it would be a little too much if the dress is already purple... I would do something light, like nude or french.

    My girls are wearing mint colored dresses. I am debating between a light pink fingernail polish and a coral/pink.
