Forget hunting around for a blue garter or getting down on your hands and knees to paint the soles of your shoes blue (what did we do before Pinterest?). This multi-hued manicure incorporates plenty of shades of blue to give you wedding day luck.
A vintage wedding is the perfect setting for a funky, art deco nail art design. To get this design, start by applying a coat of white nail polish (or two if your polish is too sheer). Next, use nail striping tape to mark off a peak design. Paint the bottom half of your nail up to the tape with OPI Nail Lacquer in All Sparkly and Gold. Once your gold nail polish is dry, peel off the striping tape and apply another peak design farther down the nail with your tape. Fill in this section with black nail polish, let dry and remove the striping tape. Finish with a topcoat and you're a modern day Daisy Buchanan.
OPI Nail Lacquer in Pirouette My Whistle layered over OPI My Pointe Exactly gives your nails the subtlest amount of sparkle to complement your shiny new wedding ring.
Pastel nails are typical for a wedding day manicure, but this nail art design adds a subtle floral touch that's elegant and understated. This blogger used Essie Nail Polish in Absolutely Shore, but for other pastel options try the new bridal manicure set from Butter London, Sweet Somethings. The four polish set contains Doily -- "Something Old," a light pink lace topcoat, Alabaster Glaze -- "Something New," an opaque pearly shimmer, Pink Ribbon -- "Something Borrowed," a sheer pink crème polish and Petticoat -- "Something Blue," a shimmery periwinkle shade.
This wedding nail design combines your "something blue" with a fun floral pattern that's easier than it looks (but we won't tell if you cheat and use these nail decals instead.) To get this floral nail design use the tip of your brush to drop some dots of polish on your nails for the roses. Use the pointed end of an orange stick to draw the white lines over the dots and to create leaves on either side of the roses.
You go all out when it comes to searching for the perfect wedding dress. You tear out photo after photo of wedding updos, down 'dos and curly tendrils before deciding on the right hairstyle. And makeup artists -- forget it, you lost count. So why settle for a boring French manicure or simple pale pink polish on your wedding day? Your wedding nails should complement that gorgeous dress, show off your ring and of course, look great in the billions of photos you'll be posing for. We scoured Pinterest and the nail art blogs for the best wedding nail designs and nail art ideas for your big day.
