Gel, acrylic or natural nails for the wedding?
When the rings are exchanged at the wedding, all eyes are on the hands. They are then captured for eternity in the wedding photo. We have everything you need for perfect wedding nails to ensure that your nails look beautiful and well-groomed for the most beautiful day. Color gels in delicate colors, festive nail stickers, glamorous rhinestones and UV polishes for subtle and elegant wedding nails.
For the most beautiful day of your life, your fingernails should be just as pretty as the rest of the bride. When it comes to hairstyle, make-up and outfit, it's a good idea to put yourself in the hands of professionals. If you want to take it easy on this usually stressful day and play it safe, you can have your wedding nails styled in a nail salon. There you can get detailed advice on the differences between gel and acrylic and leave nothing to chance. Gel nails have the advantage that they are quite flexible and feel very natural when applied thinly. Acrylic nails are extremely stable and can withstand a lot. So you can take care of your nails a few days before the wedding and still have a great nail design in the church.
Of course, wedding nails don't always have to come from a nail salon. You can create elegant and subtle nails yourself at home and treat yourself to a detailed manicure a few days before the wedding day. We have compiled important tips on nail care in our "Cuticle removal" guide. With the opaque Emmi® nail polishes in delicate nude colors, you can always find a completely natural design for elegant wedding nails. For a perfect result, apply two coats of nail polish. Each coat must be completely dry before the next is applied. Finally, the quick-drying Turbo Top Coat provides the ultimate shine and protection. If you like, you can decorate your nails with a wafer-thin watertattoo beforehand.
Emmi Shellac UV polishes are the middle ground. They are ideal for use at home and can be removed in next to no time with the remover. Just the thing for anyone who wants gel nails on their wedding day but would prefer to show off their own natural nails again the next day. In our Emmi Shellac UV polish set, we have put together just the right nail colors for every bride.
Which nail design should I choose for bridal nails?
The choice of the right nail design for bridal nails is just as large as the choice of wedding dresses. Fortunately, because everyone has different tastes. Of course, there are the classic French nails, which are always suitable for all occasions. But if you're looking for more ideas, here's a small selection of designs for your nails:
Patterns on the nails ➠Whether it's a face line, stripes or simply nail painting. Intricate patterns on the nails can turn even plain nails into elegant eye-catchers.
Nails with accents ➠ Simply add small accents to the nail tips with a little glitter gel. Exclusive and elegant and therefore just right for a wedding with beautiful nails.
Simple, white wedding nails ➠ Simply apply colored gel, nail polish and the like in plain white. Your fingers will shine against your wedding dress. If you prefer, you can use delicate pastel colors and work the smile line in strong white.
Silver or gold on the bridal nails ➠ The ring finger is the main focus on this day and can be decorated as an accent nail. Full-cover nails with glitter or a few rhinestones often look particularly good on just one nail.
Ombré nails for the wedding day ➠ You can also use soft nude colors for the delicate color gradient of the ombré nails. If you like, add a touch of pink or light blue.
Nails with flowers ➠ Nail tattoos or stickers with floral motifs go perfectly with the bridal bouquet and create a great highlight on the bride's nails.
And what about the groom?
Men's hands are also the center of attention at the registry office or in the church during the ring presentation. Even if you're not quite as familiar with nail care as a man, you should still come up with something for this day. In our"Nail care for men" guide, we provide useful tips on nail care products and manicures for men.
If you want to treat yourself really well as a groom, book an appointment at the barber store and have your nails touched up at the same time. But even at home, a nail brush, a high-quality nail file, a polishing file for a natural shine and a high-quality nail care oil are usually enough. If you can't have everything under control on the day of the wedding, you can certainly take a few things into your own hands. And if that's all too boring for you, guys, you can also apply nail gel or acrylic to men's nails. Be brave, there are no limits to your design wishes.
