Hi everyone! I've barely posted in the six months since FI proposed, and I've realized how much I miss this place!
How are you planning to do your nails for your wedding?
We are going to the Caribbean in March for a week and getting married on the trip, just FI and myself, no guests. (And we couldn't be happier about that! Hehe.) I have a strapless white dress and the flowers will be bright purple orchids. I've never had fake nails, but I thought about doing gels so I wouldn't have to worry as much about them chipping on the trip, compared to just polish on my real nails. It also wouldn't be a big deal to take stuff with me to do a manicure on myself the night before. I just can't decide!
My nails are always polished. I do them myself almost all the time - I might get a salon manicure once a year. They're usually bright/different colors, not very often the more traditional reds/pinks/neutrals. I know 'weird' colors aren't for everyone but I love them on me. FI likes my crazy nails, especially when I do stripes or polka dots. He doesn't like French manicures but said he wouldn't mind if I wanted to do that for the wedding.
The choices I'm trying to decide between right now are: gels at a salon before the trip (French manicure or a neutral light pink), or doing my nails there the night before the wedding (a traditional red or a bright pink, or a bright purple to match the orchids).
I'd just like to get some other opinions. What are you doing for your own wedding nails? What do you ladies (and gents) think about my options? Thanks in advance!
