How to Nail the Perfect Manicure to Compliment Your Ring!

 

Whether you just said yes and are preparing for your first public ring-selfie announcement, are days away from heading down the aisle, or just want to draw some extra attention to your beautiful rock? We have compiled below the tips and tricks to help you "nail" the perfect manicure to complement your ring!

 

Pair Your Stone Shape With Your Nail Shape

The shape of your nails can really go hand-in-hand with your diamond shape and help display a cohesive, put-together look. Draw attention to your beautiful oval or elongated cushion cut diamond with almond shape nails, which help enhance the elongated dimensions of your diamond.

Our client Audriana's almond-shaped nails pair perfectly with her beautiful oval double-edged halo ring.

For radiant and princess cut stones, squared-off nails help reiterate the sharper, fancier feeling diamond shapes! Likewise, embracing the symmetry of your round stone with rounded nails or playing off the points of stiletto nails to complement your marquise or pear shape diamond can make a world of a difference for how it looks on your finger!

Incorporate Your Metal Color!

Incorporating your metal color into your manicure helps to enhance your ring’s beauty and creates a very put-together look. Your metal color of choice is the tone that you feel best in, as typically we are drawn to what compliments our skin tone and what we are most comfortable wearing. Therefore, bringing a variation of this shade into the equation not only looks really good, it feels natural and effortlessly pretty.

Choose White Polish to Emphasize the Colorlessness of Your Stone

To help your diamond appear whiter, brighter, and more brilliant, choose a white polish. This creates a clean, crisp look and draws attention to the quality and beauty of your center stone no matter the shape or setting style.

When in Doubt, Go Neutral!

A nail color that is a bit more subdued compliments any center stone quite nicely. All shades of nude, light pink, tan, and even simple sheer coats flatter almost every diamond shape, setting style, and metal color.

Us girls at Lauren B usually choose a simple, classic neutral shade when taking photos to make rings pop!

 

Stick to Seasonal!

During the fall and winter months, nothing draws more attention to your hand than a stand-out seasonal shade. Seasonal shades typically spark conversation and pique the interest of those around you, drawing even more attention to your ring! Keep the holiday spirit alive and make your ring stand out with a festive and fun polish color!
