I've always wanted to know what that is, is it like a nail tattoo? Please explain

I prefer the look of real nails to tips, but I'm a biter and don't usually have any nails. I've "quit" since Labor Day weekend, but have broken a few since then

I'm *hoping* to have natural nails in a french manicure for my wedding. If that doesn't work out I'll just have short nails in a french. I'll probably file them down somewhat short a few weeks before so they can hopefully grow without getting long enough to break. Or, maybe I'll get used to having nails by then and stop breaking them left and right.

Re: Wedding-Day Manicure? What are you doing?

I only get them for special occasions LOL... SO I will def get them for my wedding!
Most likely getting a french manicure but with a twist... I dont like the look of a regular french... So I get it with a little zing LOL

Just a soft pale pink/nude manicure. Not sure about my toes - I have closed toe shoes so I might pick a bright color for our honeymoon!

Re: Wedding-Day Manicure? What are you doing?

I had a french mani and pedi.

HOWEVER, I wasn't able to get it done on my last day of work before the wedding and then the day before the wedding I had some unexpected running around to do (ummm, DH and I lost the marriage license we had gotten 60 days before our wedding date and realized it two nights before the wedding! ) so I didn't have time to do my mani pedi the day before the wedding either.

And THEN I forgot that I had to go to confession so I could receive communion at my own wedding mass, so I had to do that before my hair and makeup on my wedding day. So long story short, I had to do my own pedi (it looked good) and my MOH did my french mani while Mia did my makeup (nails looked great).

So moral of the story - MAKE SURE you make time to do your manis and pedis before your wedding day so you're not stressed like I was
