Marriage Mood! Our Selection of Wedding Looks

It's wedding season!

Whether you're the center of attention or the best bridesmaid, on the big day nothing will be left to chance, and especially not your manicure. Whether it's the highlight of an elegant outfit, or the sparkle of a more sober look... whatever your chosen - or imposed - dress code, here's inspiration for your wedding manicure.

Most of us prepare for it months in advance: the dress, the ceremony, the guests, the speeches...and it's often in the details, right down to the nail tips. Just like your outfit, make-up or hairstyle: your manicure must be flawless and your nails ready! 

A perfect, long-lasting  manicure requires  healthy, well-prepared nails. Before you even think about nail colour, take care of your nails for the long term, so they look perfect on your wedding day. Are your nails not in the best shape? Try the Rescue Kit, a trio of intensive care products for damaged to very damaged nails.

Not sure what kind of nails you have? Use our nail diagnostic tool to find out what kind of nails you have, and how to nourish them with a protective treatment base suited to your nail type.

Beautiful Hands also means moisturizing and nourishing the skin. Give you hands some deep hydration thanks to nourishing Hand Creams  with no greasy or sticky finish. We're crazy about The Lavender Hand Cream, with its scent that transports us to the Lavender fields in the south of France. To nourish cuticles, a few drops of Green Oil are all you need for a cleaner looking nail bed and  impeccable hands.

For beautiful hands, it's all about elegance and harmony. Whether all-over or nail art, here are a few ideas to help you choose your ideal manicure. 

A neutral polish to match your skin tone, a stroke of Milky white  with the Nail Art Liner Brush  to match your  white  wedding  dress, a touch of Glazed powder  and you've got a shiny  French manicure  that will match any dress. Compatible with  classic  Green™ and  LED Gel  Green Flash™  nail polishes, Glazed effect  powder is easy to apply and gives manicures a glossy effect for a  perfect manicure.

Say goodbye to the classic beige manicure or white nails, and go for the Crème Glazed manicure. It's easy to achieve with the Crème polish and Glazed Effect Powder, suitable for all bridal styles and skin tones. Best used on short nails and natural nails for an immaculate, ultra-modern look.

Catch the light with this original and daring wedding manicure featuring chrome-effect nails thanks to the Mirror Effect Powder. Ultra-chic, it's compatible with all types of nail polish and very easy to apply. No need for false nails, you can even achieve this effect with the applicator brush just after the Top Coat for dazzling bridal nails. The intensity of the effect depends on the colour to which it is applied, so add layers of powder for extra shine.

Looking for a classic manicure in soft colours? Choose neutrals, pastels or shades of pink for perfect nails with an impeccable look. Diamant - Shell Beige - Dune - Beige - Hortencia - Gloss - Milky White... For a bridal manicure, we love the translucent powder pink shade Hortencia, best used on long nails with an almond or oval shape. You can also add a little extra sparkle with Glazed Powder on the pink base, a detail that will make all the difference with the help of the dotting tool for an impeccable manicure.

Used in small quantities, glitter  adds a touch of sparkle and can make all the difference at a wedding. Apply with a glitter brush on Cream or Blossom base for an immaculate manicure.

As a guest, you'll obviously have more choice, and here again it's all about matching your manicure to your outfit or the theme of the evening.

If you're in the mood for glitter, treat yourself. At Manucurist, there's no shortage of colours, and they're all biodegradable! In a full Nail look, in graphic glitter mani, or for a more discreet look with only a glitter accent, they are sure to make an impact!

A wedding is also an opportunity to play with hues, in your outfits, your accessories and on your nails, with coloured nail polishes that inspire and enhance you. With a colour palette of over 70 shades available in Green™ or Green Flash™ polishes, the hardest part will be choosing your ideal colour.

Select the brightest shades (Poppy red - Red Coral - Anemone) that will be perfect for the event.

Péonie - Pétula - Pink Paradise - Hortencia - Blossom - Gloss… It's up to you to choose the intensity, effects and nuances that appeal to you.

Let the light in and spread happiness with Sunset, Bird of paradise, Coral reef or Pulp. And on skin that's already tanned, the effect is sure to stand out!

Pineapple Paradise, Creamy Sky Set, Neutral Chic or Seaside Escape? Get inspired with our trios and rainbow sets in seasonal colours or select your own shades - the choice is yours!

Not sure which one to choose? Take the Colour Finder Quiz  to find out which colours are best suited to your outfit.

Choose Active Glow™ for a subtle nail make-up look with added nourishing nail care. We love its unrestrained elegance with the added benefit of science-based nail care ingredients! If you're hesitant, it can be applied at the last minute since it requires no base or top and air dries! 

Looking for glitter? Adopt Active Shine, like a glitter top coat, it deposits a veil of pearlescent particles on the nail to catch the light. More of a gloss effect? Active Glow™ Blueberry is the ideal Active for ultra-modern jelly nails, thanks to its blueberry extracts.
