Question about nails

For the day off, how many are going to have fake nails. Also what color will you do them? French, pale pink or another color. I'm just trying to get some ideas. Thanks Ladies!

Re: Question about nails

I'm just going to try my best to not be a spaz the week before and break them because I know I will literally bite fake nails off during my honeymoon and thats not a good look.

Re: Question about nails

prob just a very light shade of pink or beige...something very light...i rarely have nail polish on so anything dark would prob look funny on me

Re: Question about nails

I'm still undecided!! I hate fake nails but I wouldnt want my own to break or chip that day!! Plus I wouldnt want the fake nails for 10 days on my HM but I don't know how to guarantee my regular nails will stay nice?? I'm going to def either do french or pink french

Re: Question about nails

I think I want to do pale pink or like a nude color.

Re: Question about nails

Im going to get them wrapped or whatever. I hate fake nails but mine will break and will look like ****. I am thinking of doing mine brown.... I love the way it looks on me, brings out the ring and its my wedding color.

Re: Question about nails

I'm just keeping my natural nails, I never get fakes, and will do my own french. I'm pretty good with self-manicures.

Re: Question about nails

Re: Question about nails

I am getting fake only because I have never been able to make nail polish last more than 12 hrs without chipping....So unless I get a manicure minutes before I walk down the isle I have to get fakes.

Re: Question about nails

What is the UV gel, I have heard of it but not really 100% sure what it is

Re: Question about nails

I'm going to keep my nails natural. I got tips for the e-party and took them off in nov and they're still recovering. Depending on how long they are I'll either get a light pink or a french the day of the wedding.

Re: Question about nails

I'm not going to have fake nails.... as long as I dont break any.. Either way thought I'm doing french.

Re: Question about nails

I don't have fake nails now but I will be getting them for my wedding day. I know if I get a manicure I will somehow chip it or do something bad to it lol. So I figure if I get fake nails they should last through most of my HM.

Re: Question about nails

I will be doing French with the base color probably being Sugar Daddy.

Re: Question about nails

OMG I was totally going to start a thread about this! Espo22 recommended the Virtual Nail at Dashing Diva (thanks Denise!) in East Hills and OH MY GOD I love it and am totally doing it for the wedding and honeymoon.

Instead of committing to UV Gels, Acrylic or Silk Wraps, the nails are sorta like press on nails that are measured, shaped and applied to your nails with adhesive. I have had mine on for almost 2 weeks and they have not lifted at all. They supposedly remove easily with acetone but I've yet to take them off. They are soooo thin an natural looking, you'd never know that they're fake :) and my real nails have grown nice and long underneath...

there's my pitch! HTH ladies!
