Wedding Season: OPI's Top Shades for Brides

It's no surprise that planning a wedding is majorly stressful for any bride. But one detail that should not cause any stress is your nail polish - it should be simple, light, and not distract from the rest of your bridal look.

We hope this is one less stress for you because nails should be fun and beautiful, especially on your big day. Besides the best shades, here are some more general tips for wedding-approved manicures:

  1. We suggest getting your manicure the day before your wedding for regular polish or OPI's Infinite Shine three-step system. For GelColor, we suggest up to three days before.

  2. Consider the rest of your look before choosing your lacquer. If your dress is very intricate, you may want to opt for a more subtle shade. If your dress is sleek and simple, feel free to go a bit bolder with your lacquer. And your flowers, do you want to match your manicure to the colours of your bouquet?

  3. Don't forget about your bridesmaids! You want their nails to look good as well, pictures last forever after all! Arrange for them to get manicures the day before and either assign a shade or let them choose from a few different shades that you, as the bride, approve of.
