Our top 3 for bridal nails
Innovative effect gels and interesting nail art can provide the perfect nail design for your wedding this year. We have put together the three most beautiful shimmer trends for your bridal nails for you:
Golden details
As a classic metallic tone, the color gold is also on trend for wonderful bridal nails. So that the look doesn't look overloaded, our nail designer recommends a traditionalFrench manicure , which is spiced up with small golden elements. For example, nail art rhinestones in gold metallic are suitable here , as they provide an exciting sparkle and are particularly suitable for a decorative nail (usually the ring finger). Or the gold complements the white French in the form of a delicate line at the transition to the pink of the nail, creating a subtly luxurious look that is classic yet sophisticated. Golden stampings or one stroke painting for professionals are other interesting accessories in gold on the bride's nails.

Sparkling tips
“There can be a bit of glitter and sparkle this year - to achieve the look stylishly on the bridal nails, effect gels with glitter particles and great shimmer, which are used on the nail in baby boomer nail design, for example, are suitable,” explains our expert. From the tip they gently extend into the pink of the nail and give the design a special touch. Effect gels in white with shimmer and silver glitter as an effect gel are exactly the right choice! Many other attractive nail designs can be created with glitter and glitter powder - here too, glittering decorative nails look particularly appealing on an otherwise classically designed hand. In addition to the tip, the nail moon can also have subtle glittering elements, such as small nail art rhinestones , and thus elegantly complement aclassic French manicure .

The nude tones from pink to rosé to beige have been popular classics for years and go well with every wedding look. To give them a festive touch, high-quality gels with elegant mica are suitable . These offer a classic and natural-looking color that only reveals its elegant shimmer upon closer inspection and that complements an outfit attractively without becoming the center of attention. A particularly unusual highlight for wedding nail design are white nuances with a mica or metallic effect , which conjure up a solemn yet relaxed elegance with that certain something on the nails.

Nail design: wearing color on your wedding nails?
“Whether the bride chooses a color for her nails for her wedding or not” is a very personal question. Anyone who always wears red nails may not feel comfortable with a different nail design and simply looks “foreign” . In general "The color chosen for the wedding nail design should match the outfit or form an attractive contrast to it. Many brides no longer get married in white, which of course offers many new possibilities for wedding nails, depending on the bride's personal taste." , says our nail designer. In general: If there is a color theme at the wedding or bridal bouquet, it is stylish if the nails match the color. Trend colors are also possible, they can be used as small details, such as theFrench line or as nail art be brought into nail design. At the moment it is mainly the shades of blue that are suitable for use as trendy shades on bridal nails. Light blue shades such as white blue, pastel blue and Olympia Blue are popular . They can complement a classic nail design as subtle extras or be used as small, sparkling nail art in blue - they look particularly elegant and modern in combination with nude tones. Practical: With the blue nail designs, the bride also has something “blue” with her for her wedding, because in popular belief this represents loyalty and is one of the four traditional lucky charms for brides, along with something old, something new and something borrowed.
- The bride's style decides
- Color to match the outfit
- Harmony with wedding color theme
- Trend colors as a detail of classic bridal nails
Bridal nails: 3 questions for our nail designer
Our expert Stefanie answered three questions for us about bridal nails and the implementation of current wedding nail trends.
Has the Corona period had an impact on your work for brides?
Nail designer Stefanie: “Due to the Corona restrictions, many wedding celebrations were postponed and we have had noticeably few brides in the nail salon so far this year. We also had to close for a longer period of time, during which we were unfortunately unable to support our customers.”
What are the trending nail designs for brides this year?
Nail designer Stefanie: “In the nail salon, the bridal favorites such as nude, French in many variations and rosé continue to be the most popular nail designs for the wedding. Shimmer, glitter and mica are also popular – for example for a decorative nail.”
What's the easiest way to achieve the shimmer look on your nails?
Nail designer Stefanie: “I would choose gel modeling in a baby boomer look. For this, the nail is prepared, primer and adhesive gel are applied. Then comes the French gel, which is chosen in a shade of white with shimmer, glitter or mica. This is applied as a smile line and dabbed with the Ombre Spinge Tool, tapering off to the pink of the nail. The make-up gel is then applied and modeled. Finally, the nail design is given a durable finish with gloss gel - et voilá: the perfect shimmering nail design for the wedding is very easy to create!”
