Trendy, celebrity inspired nail-art designs for the brides-to-be
A lot goes into planning a wedding, like choosing the perfect outfit, following a beauty and skincare regimen, booking a make-up artist and hairstylist and last, but definitely not the least getting the perfect manicure. Speaking about manicures, they are a personalised form of expression. They add fashion to one’s personal style, so why should wedding nails be any different?
Traditional ensembles and colour schemes aside, if you want your bridal client to shine through her look, why not give her some trendy nail art to make a style statement with?
From bride-appropriate French tips with a twist, to the most whimsical way to character into a manicure, StyleSpeak has put together this list of trendiest wedding nail art for your client’s special day.
French with a twist
The traditional French manicure with its pure white tips has been a classic favourite for ages. But you can revamp a classic, by trying out a beautiful French manicure with artwork tips, perfect for brides, who love to go bold yet stay elegant at the same time. This perfect combination of sass and bridal spirit, also allows you to switch the standard white tips for whatever colour your bride chooses.

Diamantes and sparkles
This style is probably the most popular choice for wedding nail art 2021. Pearls, glitter, sparkles and diamanté are all extraordinary elements and for those who love some shimmer and bling, a glitter manicure, a sparkly diamond or gold and red-hued manicure ticks all the right boxes. If your bridal client is willing to take the less beaten path, one can also go for a soft pink or chunky holographic glitter to truly stand out in the crowd.

Monogram
Here is another chic option for brides who want to have a detail of extravagance in their appearance.

For example, Natural nails with a pop of “I do” can be rather cute, don’t you think? Whatever, you and your client come up with, these will definitely be nails to write home about.
