Wedding Day nails :)

Just curious what everyone is doing to their nails on their wedding day? I personally am going to get 3D nails! Can't wait...

Re: Wedding Day nails :)

  • I'm planning on getting a gel manicure.  Maybe red.  Not sure yet though.  
  • Gonna do something.  No idea what.  Maybe something wild! 
  • Planning on gel nails before I leave, but might need a touch up while in Vegas...I am gonna see about getting my pedicure/manicure at home the day before we leave for Vegas. I wonder if they'll hold up through everything we will be doing up to the wedding day...

  • Good question!  I've been wondering what to do myself. 

    f you've already gotten married, what did you do with your nails?  Did you get them done in Vegas or at home?  I'm really struggling with what to do myself.  

    I think I will get Gel because their indestructible but I don't know what color or if I want a special design on all or just one or two nails.   So many choices!

  • I always mess up manicures, so I pretty much have to go with gel.  Otherwise, they'll be destroyed before I even get out of the salon.  I may do a pedicure too.  I prefer short nails, so no extensions or anything for me.  Just need to figure out the color. 
  • I got acrylic nails and gel on my toes a a week before the wedding. I got them done before we left, we went 5 days early. The weekend was going to be so busy, I didn't want to spend 2 hours in a nail salon when I could be with my family and friends. And they held up perfectly! No touch ups needed.

    Gel nails are my go-to for ANY event or trip because I can do it a couple of days out before things get busy and they still look great the day of the event or through an entire vacation.

    But what are 3D nails?? :)

  • Google it.... I'm not doing anything crazy! Thinking white flowers on my ring finger :)

  • Ohhhh I get it. LOL I have seen those before. I am sure you will have a cute design!
  • I'll try and post a picture Friday after it's done, but I'm not taking my laptop with me, and the app doesn't have the community boards so it'll most likely have to be after we come back, married :)

  • Gel on hands before leaving In a nude or pearl color. Pedi for the feet. Might do the pedi in Vegas and that will be blood red.

  • I thought about it, but I never do them normally do I'm not going to bother. Not like any of my friends/family will notice, you know? Nails are definitely a just-for-you thing, and I'm a terrible excuse for a woman and am not into having my nails done.



    For people that like it though, it's great pre-wedding me time, I think.

  • I don't do my nails much but when I do I feel great.  For your photos of your hands/ring it might be good to get one but I get it if it's not for you.  Spend the money on something that does make you feel great!

  • I had mine done on Wednesday, we left for Vegas on Thursday AM and Married on Saturday.  Since I wasn't doing much housework or dishes, my mani lasted until we got home the following Thursday.  
    Remember, this was the darkages before gel  lol.

    This timearound, thinking of getting gel even thought I HATE it because we are going to a big sweet 16 party next Saturday and I want to have them done for that and kinda don't want to have to go back the following week for another mani.
  • I am not big on flashy or really long nails so I think I will go with something I saw on pinterest.

    It is a french manicure with the ring finger having a small white heart painted with a diamond stone on it.  It is pretty, feminine and timeless.

    Have you thought about just a manicure though, even without a "fancy" design or polish? You may appreciate it if you plan on any close up shots of your hands- rings, holding hands, holding bouquet, etc.

    Just a thought! :)

  • I'm not really into nail art, so I'm going to stick with a solid color.  It's difficult to decide on a color though.

  • I did my own nails because I was spending so much on tan, make up and hair at the cosmopolitan I wasn't keen on even more money on my nails. Also, I didn't want gel as I only ever get 2 weeks out of them and we were in the US for 3 weeks - couldn't bare the struggle to remove it whilst on holiday. I bought cod vinylux a few months before the wedding and having found it lasts much better than normal nail varnish I felt safe using that, it worked a treat.
  • Oh, I give up TK.

  • I really like that opi shade, just reached for the bottle next to me as I really like that too and it's the same shade!
  • That is my color!!  I LOVE that OPI shade.  Soooo pretty, soft and feminine.

    Thank you for sharing!
  • That OPI color is beautiful!
  • These were my 3d wedding nails :)
