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!
Bride to be?
A perfect, long-lasting manicure requires healthy, well-prepared nails. Before you even think about nail color, 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.

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.

Perfect Nude and Rose Nuances
Looking for a classic manicure in soft colors? 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.
Looking for softness? Choose a pastel pink like Blossom, Hortencia or Pastel Pink
Glitter nails
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.
