Sabina Ventriglia | Sabina Makeup Artist www.sabinaventriglia.co.uk NAILED IT! My boho wedding is quickly approaching, and I’m trying to plan the perfect bridal nails. What would you suggest? The first step is to think about your budget. Consider if you would like a luxury full-service experience, a bridal package, a travelling service or a salon. Then consider the style of nails you’re after. Multiple options include gel polish, builder gel, acrylic, UV gel, extensions or natural nails. Think about whether you want a solid colour, nail art or rhinestones. Pinterest and Instagram are perfect for finding inspiration! Create a moodboard of all the styles you like. Neutrals shades, ombré effects, leaves, feathers and lace nail art are currently popular options. Look through the social media pages of nail technicians that fit your requirements. Keep in mind if awards, continuous training, prestigious events, published work or celebrity clientele are essential to you. Don’t risk infection or an allergic reaction! Choose a certified and insured nail technician, which is a legal requirement in the UK. For a cute memory, ask your nail tech if they can recreate press-on nails for a keepsake shadow box with your bouquet – a great way to remember your big day. www.gettyimages.co.uk TOP TIP: Oil your cuticles daily for healthier nails that will last.
