You're a bridesmaid who has planned all of her 3749364 looks, found jewellery to go with all of those outfits, got all of her shoes, planned her hair and make-up for each of the looks. But have you also given a thought to your manicure? Devil is in the details, after all! Getting your manicure correct before the wedding festivities begin might not be as simple as it sounds. Sure, you can get new nails for each of the events, but it can get super exhausting once the festivities start. You might want to get your nails done once, and plan it in a way that it goes with all of your looks. If your are planning your looks as a bridesmaid currently and are wondering what nails to get, here are our picks for the biggest manicure trends of the season.
Our Picks For The Biggest Manicure Trends Of The Season
Milky ombré
For the most part, nails are in their quiet luxury era. Swarovski stones, embellishments, nail charms are out, minimalistic, classic nails are in. Cloud dancer is the colour of the year, and this trend also extends itself to manicures this season. Not in the form of solid ivory nails, but with an ombré finish. White ombré manicure with a touch of pink, coated with clear nail paint is having a major moment. The trend is not only big for everyday wear, but is finding its way into bridesmaid and wedding guest looks. Getting the classic milky ombré nails is the smartest choice as a bridesmaid, given that it's super versatile, and will go with all of your looks throughout the wedding festivities, no matter the colour!

Chrome
Bridesmaids, if you want something more glam than the classic nude nails or milky ombré, we suggest chrome nails. The beauty of iridescent nails is that they have all the colours, and none of the colours, simultaneously! Which means they're like nude nails in the sense that they will go with all the colours, but are a more elevated version of that.

French tips
French tips are another rather versatile type of manicure to get this wedding season. You can keep it simple with the classic ivory tips, or have fun with colours and finishes. Get classic colours like black, white and beige that go with everything, or match the tips to your outfit. You can even go for metallic tips if you're in the mood for some drama!
Cherry red
Not that red ever goes out of style, but it's especially huge this season. From deep merlot red, to pale red, the colour is big this season. Match your red nails to your red outfit, or go for a fun colour-block look.
