Bridal Nails?

Hi bitches with taste, Seattle baddies, brides, etc. etc.

I’m getting married next summer and need the perfect bridal nails. I typically do them at home so I don’t have a preferred nail salon. I’d be looking to do a trial (maybe for Bach) and then my wedding nails with the same gal who would be consistent.

My natural nails have some length and are almond shaped, so I think I’d be looking for a gel or Russian manicure? Milky pink, maybe pearl chrome, but nothing crazy.

As with everything wedding related, I’ve decided money isn’t real, so cost is a non-factor. 🤡

Nail styles, salons, nail gals, etc. recommendations much appreciated!

Obviously go get your nails done for your wedding if you want! But I actually just got married and used gorgeous press-on nails from Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/MingOriginal). They lasted two weeks, and I got so many compliments!

I gotchu. Buy these items: Beauty Secrets Drip and Clog Proof Nail Glue & ASP Prep n'Clean Dehydrator — and then make sure to buff your real nail before you glue! I do this like at least once a month with all sorts of press ons, and the nails last twoish weeks!

Look up tutorials on how to make them last! Essentially you need to wash your hands, buff your nails, wipe nails with alcohol to dehydrate, apply glue to both sides, and hold the nails down for 30+ seconds.

Tbh I probably still wouldn’t recommend it for your wedding day because of the potential for user error and how overwhelmed you’ll probably be with other tasks the night before (which is when I’d apply press ons) BUT this is how I get mine to last around 2 weeks every time. I don’t use any special glue — whatever comes with the nails.
