I can't decide what color I should paint my nails for my wedding. I normally only paint my toe nails but I only own fushia pink,purple,black,blue nail polishes. My wedding colors are lilac and blue but I feel these colors are too bold for a wedding. I've thought about going to a nail salon for a manicure and pedicure but I'm weary since I've never experienced either. I really don't want to do a french manicure. Please help, any suggestions would be great :)

I've seen many ladies with blue nail polish to be used as their something blue. That would work for you since you have blue in your colors. You can even do a French manicure but have the white part blue instead! I love mani and pedis they are great and I bet you will like it so much you will go back!

I hate getting manis and pedis done personally.  I don't like being touched by a stranger.  
I'm doing a goldish nude color.  It's neutral but still looks polished.

You can do the retro thing and match your lipstick to your nails.  That's what I did.

If your colors include lilac...why not a very pale shade of it?

I think all the colors you listed that you already own are fun!

I think nail polish is a great way to show your personality in an otherwise already dictacted outfit of the day as the bride. If you wear fun colors normally...why not find the perfect shade to match your colors??

I'm unsure of this as well.  I think I'm going to go with clear, french manicure, or light pretty pink.  Which brings me to a question.  My fiance thinks french manicures are tacky (so maybe I should nix that idea), but I've always thought they look simple and clean.  Do yall think it's tacky?

Also, I think a mani/pedi is a MUST!!! You absolutely must try it!  It's very relaxing and you're feet look amazing after!  Also, my nails look so much better when they paint them because they are perfectly painted in the lines.  I think you will go, love it, and become addicted!
