If you're a classic bride, wear a shade of red

Your upcoming nuptials carry a lot of meaning — not only will you be committing yourself to your partner forever, but you also want to do so in a classically beautiful way. For your nails, that means In Familiar Terra-Tory from OPI's Infinite Shine collection. It's more subtle than your traditional red but still strong and romantic.

If you're an indie rocker bride, wear something gray

You and your partner are walking down the aisle to your favorite Radiohead song, and as soon as the ceremony wraps, you're putting on your go-to leather moto jacket for family pictures. You wouldn't have it any other way, so you need a polish that complements your vibe perfectly. Try an airy blue like Reach For the Sky.

04
If you're a boho bride, wear something pink

If you're a boho bride, wear something pink

You already know exactly what you're going to do with your hair — long, messy waves, punctuated by a few daisies at the crown — you just need a little guidance when it comes to your nails. Because you'll be wearing a lot of thin, silver midi rings in addition to your engagement ring, you'll want to wear a feminine high-gloss shade, like It's Pink P.M.

05
If you're a fashion-forward bride, go for the nail art

If you're a fashion-forward bride, go for the nail art

You knew the minute your partner popped the question that you'd have a lot of fun with your manicure. You want something delicate but that will catch a lot of stares. Try an architectural look on your nails, using It's Pink P.M. and Rose Against Time.
