I’m going to have shellac, that’s what I have on my nails now and get it done every few weeks so works best for me

Gel polish for me as I do it myself. Something classy and simple

I had mine done like this. Normally I'd have them alot shorter and more square also normally a block colour. So this was very different for me but I loved them! This was extensions with the ombre white tip xx

I'll probably have gel polish which is what I normally get.... when I'm not skint and saving for a wedding!! I'm mega clumsy and am likely to catch or rip any long nails and gel will last long enough for the wedding and mini moon!!

These were mine and I loved them were a bit longer than I was used too and was only the 3rd time I’d ever had acrylic nails

I want to start having regular gel Manicures on my normal nails! So by the time we get married they will be naturally long and strong, that’s the plan anyway! For the big day they will probably be a very neutral colour! X

I am booked in for Shellac a few days before. Their easy to care for and don't ruin you natural nails - well not mine so far

I had gels done and they've totally ruined my nails. My wedding was in November and I'm still waiting for them to recover. They're flaky and break really easily. I'll stick to painting my own nails in future!

Loved my wedding nails! Gel extension, with French Polish using CND Shellac, the white tips also had glitter on, and stamping on the ring finger! X

Acrylics for me

Find out what stays best for your nails. Everyone recommended the powder dip technique as it’s lasted for them, but both times I’ve had it it’s chipped off within a couple of days Previously I had shellac and it lasted me about two weeks without any damage and that was whilst touring in bangers rounds Europe!

I'll go short Acrylics, but like a week before maybe as takes me forever to get used to them haha (very natural so instead of my bitten horrible nails)
