In the era of Instagram announcement posts, with ring finger hand on full display, it’s natural to start planning a nail strategy for when your partner pops the big question. Engagement nails tend to be on the minimalist side – think French manicures or neutral shades – says celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik whose clientele includes Jennifer Lopez and Selena Gomez. If you want more pop, consider metallic accents, which won’t take too much attention away from the ring.
That being said, “non-traditional” nail looks have been gaining popularity lately. Nail artist Brittney Boyce counts Olivia Rodrigo, Megan Fox, and Kim Kardashian as regular clients, and she reports seeing more experimentation with colour and design. The best engagement nail, she says, is the one you love. “[It] all just comes down to personal style,” she says.
So whether you’ve already found your forever person or are still using those crystals to attract him, her or them into your life, it’s never too early to start brainstorming. Below are 15 engagement nail ideas to consider now.
