Choosing Your Nail Colour

A manicure is a great finishing touch for bridal style. Here's help for any shades of indecision on how bright to go.

This season features a bouquet of bridal-perfect nail shades, from satiny cremes to shimmering frosts. Keep the following in mind if you're having trouble deciding which one to choose:

  • The shorter the nail, the paler and sheerer the nail lacquer should be. Darker, opaque enamels will make short nails look stubby.

  • When dressed in head-to-toe white, choose a nail shade as you would your makeup, picking one that will complement your skintone. If you aren't sure, consult a beauty expert representing a cosmetic line that features colour groups coordinated to skintones. She'll be able to help you select a nail lacquer shade within a flattering group.

  • When nothing but natural looks seems to appeal, consider the always elegant French Manicure look, that maintains a sheer nail colour with white-accented tips. This popular wedding-nail option looks natural, yet very finished. Have it professionally done, or buy a convenient French Manicure kit with everything you need to get the look right.
