What's the perfect excuse to finally wear some of that pretty nail art you're always lusting over? You guessed it: bridesmaid duty. If I were going to be a bridesmaid again sometime soon, I'd forgo the pricey salon updo, DIY my hair, and instead splurge on an amazing gel manicure that would last through all the wedding festivities. If you're also a fan of this idea, check out five of my favorite bridesmaid-worthy manicures from nail artists/salons I follow on Instagram.
1. Hypersparkly! (@verypolishedlounge)
2. Glammed-out ombre (@stephstonenails)—the colors shown are Chanel Sweet Lilac and Eastern Light
3. Fingertip bouquets (@whitneygnails)—easily DIY this look with floral nail decals
4. White studded blossoms (@marienails)
5. Twinkly tips with a sweet heart accent (@diy_nails)—modeled by the nail artist herself!
Just picture the cute Instagrams you'll take with your fancy fingers clutching your fancy bouquet! But quick disclaimer: Of course you should run any crazy nail idea by the bride first, because the last thing you want is any polish-induced day-of drama!
