    here is a random question. How many of yu are thinking about having color on your nails for your wedding?? or are you planning to go natural. I'm in the middle of painting my nails and just thought of this question.

    I would love to see some examples of wedding day nails with color! :)

    I painted my toenails a really vivid red but left my fingernails natural.

    I'm going to have colored nails. Thinking of light blue (one of the wedding colors).

    Don't have pics but I definitely intend to wear colored nails since that fits my personality. Not sure yet what color but it will be bold/dark as I am not a pastel girl at all.

    Yep! I actually heard from a nail salon that its becoming more popular now to get the french manicure with colors, and I think it might be really fun to do a light purple with the white tip. Or maybe just light purple, I can't decide.  I have this nail polish and its the most pretty color (the one on the right): http://style.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Shrek-Nail-Polish.jpg

    They have a light blue thats just as gorgeous, and sometimes I'll do one layer of each it becomes this amazing periwinkle color! I love OPI :)

    I'm going natural because I'm wearing dark green, not white...might be overwhelming/distracting with color on the hands.

    I am doing French on my fingers or just a clear gloss.  My toes though will be a bright funky color with polka dots.

    It never crossed my mind to have my wedding nails (hands and feet) painted in anything other than my favorite color, which happened to be our primary wedding color. It's the same color I always get when I get my nails done, because I love it and it looks great on me. It's a burgundy wine, and my bridesmaids had the same color on their finger and toenails too. We don't have our pro photos back yet, but you can see the way it looked on both my fingernails and toenails in our same-day edit video around 1:10 to 1:20 here.

    I went with pale pink on my fingernails because I wanted my nails to look nice in pictures, but not be the focus and fuschia on my toenails because it was one of our colors and I was wearing navy (our other color) shoes.  My photographer loves to do shoe shots so I wanted my toes and shoes to be our wedding colors.

    I'm going to have hot pink toes and fingernails! I love the punch of color, and we're having a really bright, modern wedding, so it'll go with everything really well :-)

    I had a french pedicure on my toes, and I painted my fingernails OPI's Royal Flush Blush...enough color and shimmer in contrast to my usually clear-coat nails...but I suppose it was still pretty natural.

    I actually went with red fingernails and toenails for my wedding.  I was going back and forth about it, and when I slammed my finger in the car door 5 days out and the WHOLE nail turned blue...my decision was made :)  Personally, I think they looked great, and red was an accent color of our black, white, and silver wedding.

    When I am in weddings, I typically do a very pale shade of pink.  I feel like it dresses up the nails but isn't distracting.

    I am torn between a light pink or a french on my hands.  I like the pink, but it needs so many coats to have no show-through, and that worries me.

    I am definitely doing a bright red on my toes though.  I'm wearing black shoes and I want the pop of color there.

    I did a pale pink on both my hands and feet.  I wore hot pink shoes, so I was worried about the pinks clashing (thanks, Mom, for putting that in my head!  LOL).  So, I did complimentary colors. 

    It was Italian Love Affair by OPI
