Molten Gold Chrome
When the gold chrome is applied to the nails, light is reflected dramatically, making the bride the true owner of the regal aesthetic. These nails complement the gold jewellery effortlessly.
Timeless French
Nothing can go wrong with a timeless French manicure. It never goes wrong, and one cannot help but obsess over it. Add a twist to the old French romance with glitter tips and outlines.
Magnetic Cat Eye
Cat eye nail art creates a natural, velvety, light-reflecting illusion that shifts as your hands move. Deep burgundy shades are particularly trending for the modern bridal nail look.
Glitter Ombre
A beautiful magic is created when one shade beautifully blends into the other, creating a dreamy fade effect. So, when looking for some magic, choose ombre. It’s glamorous yet completely wearable without overpowering the look.
Classic Bridal Red

When talking about sparkles, think pearls, beads and crystals delicately placed along the cuticle or as accent nails. Your nails deserve to shine brighter than anything for the camera-worthy clicks. After all, when the ring slides, the nails must sparkle.
Floral Whispers
What can be more lovely than flowers? Turn your nails into beautiful bouquets with tiny hand-painted flowers or pressed floral accents for an added romantic charm.
Personalised Love Notes
Nothing whispers your romance like your added details. Completely own your bridal nails featuring your initials, wedding date, symbols or even miniature portraits. This nail art is sentimental, Instagram-worthy and uniquely yours.
After Care for Bridal Nails
Your bridal nails don’t end at the manicure chairs. Post-application, they need care to ensure that the manicure remains flawless and lasts for a long time. A little TLC keeps the bridal nails looking salon-fresh throughout the ceremony.
- Moisturise Daily: Like your face, your hands need moisture too. Use a nourishing hand cream to prevent dryness.
- Cuticle Care is Key: Apply cuticle oil twice daily to keep the nail bed healthy and glossy to let your nails shine as an added accessory.
- Protect Brittle Nails: If your nails are naturally weak, consider strengthening them before the nail appointment.
- Hydrate Internally: Strong nails begin with proper hydration and a balanced diet.

How to Make the Nail Art Last Longer?
To ensure your nail art stays flawless from haldi to honeymoon, follow these simple tips:
- Choose gel or acrylic extensions for longer wear rather than going for press-on nails.
- Avoid using nails as tools (no opening cans!).
- Keep your hands dry for long periods because moisture often weakens the adhesion.
- Schedule your nail appointment 1-2 days before the wedding (and after your bridal mehendi is done).
- Carry a mini nail glue everywhere, every time for emergency fixes (especially if you have embellishments).
- Avoid excessive heat exposure immediately after application.
