Hi bees,
I’m debating on getting my nails done for my wedding, either acrylics or gel nails, or just do my nails myself with fakes or just painting them. Share your manicures please! Pictures would be appreciated! π

I hope this post gets responses! I don’t know what to do either.. especially what to do as far as color! A friend of mine actually did black and it looked VERY classy even though it sounds scary! (to me at least haha)

I highly recomed getting a gel manicure. I did my second gel mani last Thursday and my nails were not damaged from the first one the way acrylics often leave your nails. The polish lasted two weeks and did not chip! I have a friend who goes 3 weeks in between manis, but my nails grow faster and by week two the gap on top starts to bug me!

@afel1112: I was thinking about doing black on my nails too! But then again, I think I’m buying hot pink shoes, so I might do hot pink nails, or just do black toes and nails because I usually wear black on my toes anyway. I think black does look classy as long as you don’t dress all in black and look goth! (no offense to anyone who does that lol) but I wear black polish quite often, and I really like it π
But yes, I want responses on here! I need ideas! π

@jazinlove: I’ve had gel nails before that I did myself and I really loved them. Super easy to do and they looked really pretty, but I think if I do go with a french manicure I will do the gel nails again, and you’re right, they are less damaging. But we will see, I’m still weighing my options! haha
@kolsen206: I love the idea of the grey nails for your wedding colors. They wouldn’t go with our wedding colors, so I’m opting out of the grey π But I might do a light pink just because pink is my fave color, but we will see π
