Bridal Moodboard
Soft ivory tones with demure pale pinks have long conquered the feminine bridal mood-board, so why not give future attendees a preview of the elegance expected on the big day. With the subtle shine from the lacquer enhancing sparkles from your diamond - you’re the blushing bride before you’ve even found your venue.
French Manicure
Sometimes the classics are the best and by opting for the iconic French manicure with square tips you'll achieve an effortless look that’s easy to maintain. With spontaneous events celebrating your engagement on the horizon for the foreseeable future, it’s the universal compliment to any outfit.

Vibrant Red
Elongate your fingers with red, pointed nails. The bold colour will draw attention to the length of your hands and the pointed tip adds practical length – after all we’re all looking for added elegance in those ring photographs. It’s the perfect way to adapt to the ever-growing trend of uniquely shaped designs and draw attention to your latest diamond-encrusted accessory.

Sparkling Diamond
As the news spreads, all eyes will be on your ring finger, so why not decorate your nails with something just as eye-catching as your dazzling jewel. It’s a hard challenge to compete with a perfectly-cut diamond, but a silver, sparkling polish with light reflecting elements will add that extra glamour every bride-to-be needs.
