The other day I realized that Indian food is not kind to a french manicure. It stains your nails yellow. Most of the time it washes off though, but that got my sister in law and I wondering about how my manicure would hold up through the ceremonies/pujas that we will do the day before the wedding.
I was planning on having my nails done prior to getting my mehndi done, which is scheduled for a Friday and then on Saturday we will have a graha shanti and a haldi ceremony.
How did your manicures hold up over these events? I know it sounds crazy, but I know that my hands will be photographed over and over on the wedding day and I dont want a busted/stained manicure in my pictures!
Re: Random/Strange Question re: Manicures
I di a french manicure to my existing nails, so no acrylics, and it was okay through the haldi ceremony, with no chips, but I had an extra couple coats of clear on, so that helped!

DFW: I will totally be eating with a fork but unfortunately I can't get around the haldi when it comes time to do the ceremonies etc. Blerg!
Hi Girls!

Yes I worried about this same thing and to be honest...I didn't eat with my hands LOL I mean not even roti with subjee like you are suppose to use the roti as a scoop and scoop up the subjee...One hand held a piece of roti and the othre hand held a spoon to eat the subji
On the actual wedding day ...I got fed by my hubby so he could scoop no problem...and when I fed him I followed the above process or used a fork hahaha but in the evening I used a fork and had rice LOL
I got my nails done on the morning of my mendhi...which was 3 days before my wedding day...the nails were fine no complaints...
Raangoli, go for a manicure test trial

I like the look of a french manicure rather than a solid color, so that's why it was so specific to the french style.
I will have to do some test trials to see how it goes. Will report back!
I just read what bells wrote....she got Gels which is smart!
They last longer and are better for your natural nail!
