Nail Polish Shades for Wedding Day

5 Non-Boring Wedding-Day Nail Polish Shades

OK, I get it: Baby pink polish is soft, feminine, and discreet. But why 

must it be a mandatory requirement for wedding-day nails? Why not

 break with tradition and go for a little color? After all, it's not like your

 tiny nails will take attention away from your wedding dress, right?

Mary Alice Stephenson, style advisor for Sally Hansen agrees. 

"Going beyond basic light pink is a fun and flirty way a bride can 

express her personality," she says. "A splash of color adds an 

element of the unexpected to an otherwise traditional look."

Stephenson weighed in on the top five nail polish colors this season 

-- all of which would be perfect options for your most important mani. 

And even if you do wimp out and go for the safe pink shade, you could still try one of these for your honeymoon.

Denim Blue

This is the perfect "something blue" for an offbeat bride, says 

Stephenson. Wearing a blue hue on your nails is definitely bold, 

so if you'd rather stick with a more subtle color for your fingers, 

try it on your toes. To get the look: Try Dior Vernis Long wearing 

Nail Lacquer in #607 Blue Denim, $21.

Greenish Gold

If you're always wearing the latest trends, your wedding day 

should be no exception. Metallic polish in shades like green 

and gold is uber trendy this season, so naturally, a bride with

 high style will want to wear it. To get the look: Try Chanel Le 

Vernis Nail Colour in #531 Peridot, $25.

Soft Lavender

Light lilac tips are a modern alternative to pale pink, 

says Stephenson. This is a great option for girls who want to

 break the rules, but only a little bit. It's feminine and subtle 

yet with a twist. To get the look: Try Essie nail polish in Nice 

is Nice, $8.

Retro Red

Classic crimson is ideal for brides drawn to all things vintage. 

Sexy and sophisticated, red nail polish is the must-have accessory

 for an Old Hollywood-inspired style. To get the look: 

Try Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Nail Polish in All 

Fired Up, $6.99.

Candy Pink

Nothing is flirtier than bubblegum pink nails. A pop of this girly hue 

adds color to your look in a pretty way that's not cheesy. To get the

 look: Try Nails Inc Nail Polish in Brompton Place, $9.50.

Would you wear any of these daring shades on your wedding day?

 Or are you sticking with a more classic look?
