Wedding finger nail designs is the icing on the brides cake, adding to her final elegance and sophistication. French tips never go out of fashion either as they are simple and chic. Floral patterns and lace-inspired designs add a romantic touch that pairs well with the softness of a wedding gown. Brides who live for glitz may want to consider mini glitter accents or rhinestone embellishments for a bit of glimmer while keeping the nails from becoming too loud.
Nude, pink, or white ombré nail designs bring a chic and modern vibe. And for a daring, luxe feel, metallic foil in gold or silver gives a touch of snazzy glam. Minimalist brides might opt for sheer nude or pastel nails in a glossy or matte finish. DIY nail art (like all those initials or wedding dates) makes it sentimental. Nail designs for fingers for the wedding day, simple or a bit comic, will achieve the right polished, photo-ready hands for your wedding day.
