Gel, acrylic or natural nails for the wedding?

When the rings are exchanged at the wedding, all eyes are on the hands. They are then captured for eternity in the wedding photos. To ensure that your nails look beautiful and well-groomed for the most special day, we offer everything you need for perfect wedding nails. Color gels in delicate colors, festive nail stickers, glamorous rhinestones, and UV polishes for subtle yet elegant wedding nails.

For the most beautiful day of your life, your fingernails should be just as pretty as the rest of the bride. When it comes to your hairstyle, makeup, and outfit, you're happy to put a lot of effort into it and put yourself in the hands of professionals. If you want to treat yourself to a little peace and quiet on what can often be a stressful day and want to play it safe, you can have your wedding nails styled at a nail salon . There you can get detailed advice on the differences between gel and acrylic, and you don't have to leave anything to chance. Gel nails have the advantage of being quite flexible and, when applied thinly, feel very natural. Acrylic nails are extremely strong and can withstand a lot. This means you can take care of your nails a few days before the wedding and still have a great nail design in the church.

Of course, wedding nails don't always have to come from a nail salon. For elegant and understated nails, you can easily do it yourself at home and treat yourself to a thorough manicure a few days before your wedding day. In our "Removing Cuticles" guide, we've compiled important tips on nail care. With the opaque Emmi®-Nail nail polishes in delicate nude colors, you can definitely find a completely natural design for elegant wedding nails. For a perfect result, apply two coats of varnish. Each coat must be completely dry before applying the next. Finally, the fast-drying Turbo Top Coat provides ultimate shine and protection. If you like, you can also decorate your nails with a wafer-thin water tattoo beforehand.

Emmi-Shellac UV polishes strike a balance. They're perfect for use at home and can be removed in a flash with the remover. Perfect for those who want gel nails on their wedding day but would rather show off their natural nails the next day. Our Emmi-Shellac UV polish set includes just the right nail colors for every bride.

Which nail design should I choose for bridal nails?

The selection of bridal nail designs is just as vast as the selection of wedding dresses. Fortunately, because everyone has different tastes. Of course, there are the classic French nails, which are always suitable for all occasions. But if you're looking for more ideas, here's a small selection of nail designs:

• Patterns on the nails ➠Whether it's face lines, stripes, or simply nail painting, with intricate patterns on the nails, you can transform even plain nails into an elegant eye-catcher.
• Nails with Accents ➠ Simply add small accents to the moons of your nails with a little glitter gel. Exclusive and elegant, they're perfect for a wedding with beautiful nails.
• Simple, white wedding nails ➠ Simply apply color gel, nail polish, and other products in plain white. Your fingers will instantly shine in the same way as your wedding dress. If you like, you can use delicate pastel colors and create a bright white smile line.
• Silver or gold on the bridal nails ➠ The ring finger is the center of attention on this special day and can be decorated as an accent nail. Full-cover nails with glitter or a few rhinestones often look particularly striking on just one nail.
• Ombré nails for your wedding anniversary ➠ For the subtle gradient effect of ombré nails, you can also use delicate nude colors. If you like, you can also add a touch of pink or light blue.
• Nails with flowers ➠ Nail tattoos or stickers with flower motifs go perfectly with the bridal bouquet and add a great highlight to the bridal nails.

And what about the groom?

Men's hands are also the center of attention at the registry office or in church during the exchange of rings. Even if you're not entirely familiar with nail care, you should still be thoughtful for this special day. In our guide " Nail Care for Men, " we provide useful tips on nail care products and manicures for men.

If you're a groom who really wants to treat yourself, book an appointment at a barbershop and get your nails freshened up at the same time. But even at home, a nail brush, a high-quality nail file, a polishing file for a natural shine, and a high-quality nail care oil are usually enough. If you can't manage everything on the wedding day, there are a few things you can definitely do yourself. And if all that's too boring for you, guys, you can also apply nail gel or acrylic to men's nails. Don't be afraid, there are no limits to your design ideas.
