Wedding Nails — My Bridal Nail Guide
Biosculpture Gel
When it comes to your wedding day, your nails are one of those small but beautiful details that complete the look. From that close-up ring shot to every champagne glass you hold, you’ll want them to look effortlessly elegant and timeless.
One of my favourite brands for a flawless, long-lasting manicure is Biosculpture Gel — it gives incredible shine, strength and is kind to the natural nail. Ive used Biosculpture Gel for the past 10 years and I recommend it to all of my brides for a manicure that lasts you from wedding to honeymoon.
Biosculpture Client Favourites (and My Top Picks)
Rose – a soft, romantic blush tone that flatters every skin tone. Pair with white for a classic French manicure.
Sheer Admiration – the perfect sheer pink with a rosey glow.
Seafoam – a milky white shade that feels fresh and serene.
Transparent Beauty – the perfect sheer, giving your nails that “your nails but better” finish.
All of these shades look beautiful alone or add a touch of chrome for a high-shine, bridal-glow finish.
If you love the glazed doughnut or pearlescent nail look, my go-to chrome shades are:
Iced by The Gel Bottle – perfect for that subtle glazed finish.
Pearl by The Gel Bottle – gives a luminous, shell-like sheen that looks stunning in natural light.

Top Tips for Perfect Bridal Nails
💅 Have a trial run
Book in at least one or two manicures before your wedding using your chosen brand. This will help you see how the gel lasts, how it grows out, and how you feel about the shade.
👗 Match it to your fittings
If you can, time one of your manicures with a dress fitting — it’s the perfect way to see how the nail colour complements your gown, your flowers, and even your jewellery.
🎨 Think about your colour palette
Do you want your nails to blend with your theme, or stand out as their own statement? There’s no right answer — it’s all about what feels most you.
🗓️ Plan your appointments
Book 3–4 manicures in the lead up to your wedding. This helps build up nail health and ensures you have your dream shape and length in time for the big day.
Have your final manicure 2–3 days before your wedding to allow polish to settle and avoid any last-minute chips. Book your manicure with me here.
🧴 At-home hand care
Use a gentle hand scrub weekly and hand cream daily — ideally one with SPF to protect against sun spots and ageing. I love the Elim Ultra Rich Hand Therapy SPF 15.
🧤 Protect your hands
Never clean or wash up without gloves — harsh detergents and cleaning products can quickly dull or damage your nails. It’s one of the simplest steps for strong, healthy hands all year round.
Beautiful nails might seem like a small detail, but on your wedding day, it’s often the smallest touches that make you feel truly put-together and polished.
