You already know that destroyed cuticles cannot be fixed in an instant. Maintain your nails long before your wedding. Nail technicians can only do so much in applying the best manicure on your hands. The rest is up to you to maintain. Be conscious of your nails when handling anything.
There are all sorts of nail art available today. Limit your choices for wedding manicure to conventional designs. It is good to try new things, but being too adventurous can be counterproductive.
Better safe than sorry. Bring the bottle of your preferred manicure to the manicure stylist. You can never be sure that she has the right color tone and that it’s not expired. There is no harm in asking the stylist to use yours instead of hers.
Polish manicure comes with the possibility of chipping. When this happens, it is not the end of the world. You could restore the allure in under 30 minutes. Use the tip of the brush to refill the chipped part. Apply a second coat and then finish off with a clear coat.
Do you want to produce photos of your hands that are Instagram quality? Apply a little hand cream several times during the wedding. This keeps your hands looking younger especially when massaged into cuticles and knuckles.
