“May I see your ring?” If you thought a lot of people asked this question during your engagement period, just wait until the wedding day. As friends and family celebrate with you, they’ll give your hands newfound attention.
To ensure you can confidently display your wedding band, take time to prepare your hands and fingernails for your wedding day. Whether you’re a no-fuss, natural bride or a glam girl, these bridal beauty tips will prepare your hands for your Baltimore wedding day and keep your fingernails looking fine throughout your engagement as well.
No more biting.
For many brides, nail-biting stems from nerves or stress, which are intensified with wedding planning deadlines and decisions. But it only takes 21 days to break a habit. Stay strong and persevere. When you feel the need to bite, try holding something to keep your hands occupied. If necessary, you can also try specific nail polishes that produce bitter tastes. After a few tastes of this nasty stuff, you’ll want to keep your fingers as far as possible from your mouth.
Start your hand care early to give you a beautiful, bridal-worthy appearance.
Buy a base coat.
Several months before your wedding, begin to wear a nail base coat. This clear-colored coat has nail nutrients and fortifiers. With routine use, once-brittle nails will grow strong and healthy. Also, always use a base coat when you wear polish to protect your nails from gaining an unhealthy yellow tinge.
Wear rubber gloves.
Avoid exposing your nails to harsh chemicals. Buy a pair of rubber gloves, and wear these every time you clean your home. When you do the dishes or scrub the bathroom, slip on your gloves to protect your hands’ skin and fingernails.
