Besides pampering your nails, you have to prevent them from getting weak. Stay away from all the harsh chemicals that can weaken your nails. Wear rubber gloves to protect your nails from prolonged water contact during house hours. Also, try not to use nail polish removers with strong acetone elements.

Buy Your Favorite Nail Polish But Not Only One
Doing nails at home means keeping everything handy. You can’t expect someone else to pick up your nail polish bottle like when you get your nails done in the saloon. So you have to buy your favorite color at least two to three weeks before the big day. We mean, how shocking it would be to hear,
“We don’t have it in stock right now, ma’am. Can you please manage with this shade?”

Additionally, once you decide on your nail color that matches with the wedding day outfit, stock up enough so that you can easily paint ten nails. We insist everyone purchase two bottles of the same shade instead of one for their good. You can use one bottle to do the manicure at home and keep the second one in your safety kit and take it along with you to the wedding destination for any emergency.

Run a Trial Manicure Before The Wedding Day
No one wants to get disappointed with their nails on wedding day after seeing how sinful it looks. That’s why it is better to take a trial run with your nails a long time before the wedding day. Don’t awake one or two weeks prior but start exploring the options at least a month before the wedding.

You have to choose from the gel (French manicure gel, acrylic, shellac) or polish and see their different colors. Finally, pick the one that just sits right with your outfit. Doing a trial run will stir your mind to clear whether your desired nails are wedding-worthy or not. If not, you still have time to find something picture-perfect.

Don’t Do a Manicure Long Before The Wedding Day
Running a nail manicure trial is a good thing. However, getting too adventurous about it is a big no. If you do your nails four to five days before the wedding day, there are innumerable possibilities of tampering with them. The nail color designs could get spoiled, the nails could break, water could splash out the color, or the shine could fade away.

And if you want to look second gorgeous after the bride, you need to have glowing nails! Also, most manicures start losing their shine in a few days. And giving them a retouch or flaunting them on the wedding day isn’t ideal. So, the best thing is to slap a manicure on your nails one day before the wedding.
