In case you haven’t noticed, we’re big on weddings here at Who What Wear. Although folks mainly tend to focus on the big day (including details like the dress, venue, shoes, and makeup), there’s one small element that often gets overlooked. I’ve heard plenty of horror stories from engaged friends that they received a proposal when they least expected it—aka, their nails were far from done and they wanted to wait until they were to post about it.
It may seem like a small, trivial thing, but I’m someone who takes this to heart—I like to be 100% prepared. I know I can’t be the only one, so I made it my mission to help out future me and you (you can thank me later). If you even *suspect* that a proposal might be coming your way, I’ve asked nail artists to share a few ideas on what to get ahead of time. “It’s really about personal preference but, for a traditional look, if don’t want to take away from the diamond, I would always suggest a nude,” says celebrity nail artist Elle Gerstein. “You can also add a gold glitter, which is a great complimentary detail. The glitter could be done with a polka dot, simple line, or a tip that wouldn’t be too distracting from the diamond.”
