Black is the New Pink?

You might not want to go there for your wedding, but I’m feeling a little daring with my nail choices these days. This week it was a childhood-reminiscentĀ bold blue, and I’m excited to pick something funky for my Sunday DIY manicure tomorrow, too. But what about for the events leading up to your wedding? I always notice people’s nails in photographs, especially when they’re holding up a glass of champagne or showing off a rock. Don’t you? Make sure you look extra polished (literally!) with a surprising manicure at your engagement party, bridal shower, or bachelorette.

Ditch those sweet pinks and reach for a heart of darkness with an unexpected, extra-shiny black plus one sweet accent:

Or, embrace the summer sun and try an oh-so-bright Aztec-inspired print with gold glitter for extra shine. That’ll wow ’em:

Make a splash with coral, a great alternative to pink. I love the gold striped accent nail on this one. Perfect for all your celebrations to come:
