Summertime is a great time to break out the bright nail colors. But bright nails make me think of someone from Jersey Shore—I don’t want to look like a fist-pumping party girl on my wedding day! you’re probably thinking. Relax, we’re not encouraging extra long hot pink zebra print fingernails here. And bright doesn’t necessarily mean neon, either—here are five shades that will bring a nice pop to your wedding attire.
RAVISHING RED
Red is fantastic as it’s one of the few colors that works year-round. For summer, go with a fun candy apple hue like the timeless Revlon Red by Revlon, available at nationwide for $4.99.
WONDERFUL WHITE
With a hint of shimmer, white goes from sixth grade “I got bored in science class” Wite-Out manicure to elegant wedding option. Try My Boyfriend Scales Walls by OPI, available at beautystoredepot.com for $8.50.
TERRIFIC TEAL
Teal is a wonderful option for a beachside ceremony, adding a mermaid vibe to your wedding attire. We recommend Slapper by Butter London, available at Nordstrom for $14.
GROOVY GREEN
Green is always a popular summer shade, conjuring up images of fun summer cocktails like margaritas and mojitos, which inspired Essie’s limited edition Mojito Madness nail color, available at Macy’s for $8.
BEAUTIFUL BLACK
Guys, this one’s for you. Although Evolutionman’s Indashio is not bright in a traditional sense, a burst of gold flecks in this gorgeous black will make you feel bright on your big day! Available at evolution-man.com for $15.
