Mani-festation: All the hottest nail trends that brides are currently obsessed with

Whether your bridal aesthetic veers towards minimalist sheers and pearl accents or you love the bling with chrome finishes and embellished nail-art, the season’s bridal nail trends are stylish, chic, and true stand-outs. Think timeless neutrals elevated with a subtle shimmer and bold jewel tones reimagined with a modern edge. From runway-inspired finishes to custom nail-art that doubles as statement accessories, brides today are treating their manicure as a flourish of personal style.

Burgundy 

Jewel-toned nails have always held a special niche on the bridal inspiration board. Paired with gold accents or solely in its glossy perfection, burgundy delivers that regal, jewel-box richness brides are leaning into.

Cat-eye

The popular cat-eye trend works well for both rich and pastel hues. Its magnetic, light-catching finish adds depth and dimension, making nails look like gemstones under shifting light.

Milky white

Delicate and reminiscent of lace, this has a pearly-white sheen. Milky white nails, with their soft, translucent finish, bring a dreamy quality that's timeless, versatile, and effortlessly elegant. 

French tips

Everyone’s favourite style is a classic for a reason. French tips remain the ultimate bridal go-to: whether kept in its original, elegant style or reinvented with chrome edges, glitter outlines, and pastel accents.

Sunset ombré

Why choose just one colour when this trend lets you have the best of all? Sunset ombré nails blend warm corals, pinks, and golden hues in a seamless gradient, making it perfect for brides who want something playful yet romantic. 

Floral

Soft, shimmery and a hint of flowers? Yes, please. Floral nails bring a touch of whimsy, with delicate petals, tiny blooms, or even pressed-flower accents layered over sheer bases.
