Simple Nail Trends to Try For Your Wedding

The perfect mani - does it truly exist?

Getting your nails done is a trial and error process, you have to be willing to commit to a color or nail design for at least two weeks, and don’t even get us started on finding the right nail technician. This is why a lot of times we stick to what we like when it comes to nail color, think of Rihanna’s trusted white nail polish pedicure or Vanessa Hudgens’s Halloween-esque dark manis. But, it’s good now and then to take a new nail style for a test run. Now that we’re a few months into 2020, it seems that nail trends are taking a turn for the DIY with styles that are uniquely creative but still subtle enough you don’t feel too far outside of your comfort zone. If you’re looking for some nail art inspiration for your wedding day, we’ve listed six of our favorite nail trends that you should have on your radar!

Negative Space

For the minimalist bride, a negative space mani is perfect for your bridal style! You can keep your nails bare, with no colored polish, and instead opt for designs with a clean finish. Choose anything from colorful geometric lines to an intricate butterfly for a standout nail design that will be an artsy addition to a classic bridal look.

Matte Polish

Pastels

If you’re a solid color manicure enthusiast, then this is the trend for you! Pastels are colors that can work for almost any season, from baby pink to creamsicle orange. If you’ve chosen a specific color theme for your wedding, you can choose a pastel color that resembles your theme or pays homage to the color of your bridesmaid gowns.

Ombre Effect

If you’re having a difficult time deciding which shade of blue you want your nails to be, why not get them all? Ombre or gradient nails are a fun way to play with color without having to fully commit to just one shade. If you really want to create a nail moment that is avant-garde you can opt for a gradient effect that is a mix of colors or have each hand be a different color gradient.

Metallics

Metallic shades never really go out of style, but we’re not just talking about painting every nail a metallic color. You can also take a more subtle approach by only painting one nail with a metallic shade so it stands out, or opt for a more pearl, metallic finish that only covers the tip of the nail. Either way, metallic shades will give your manicure a shine that will complement your wedding rings.

Modern French Manicure

The french manicure is a ‘90s staple that has withstood the test of time. In 2020 the trend is moving in a modern direction, veering away from the classic white tips to colored hues, thin tips, double tips, or even a flipped design. All these modern takes on the french mani can make your nail beds appear longer without the addition of acrylics.
