The theme this week for Artsy Wednesday is wedding nails. I haven’t been keeping up with reality TV on principle (and due to lack of time, but it’s mainly the principle!) so I don’t know too much about weddings, which I gather is one of the things reality TV educates one on. I’ve watched Big Fat Gypsy Weddings, but somehow that strikes me as exactly what /not/ to do.
One of the few things I know I “want” for my wedding (if I ever have one – the bf has been making noises to the effect that he wants nothing to do with them, so who knows) is that I want everything to be simple, so I (or my possible children) won’t look back and think of anything as tacky. I think for my actual wedding I’ll wear a one-colour creme mani, but that would make for a very boring Artsy Wednesday!
So this is my relatively simple wedding mani design:
It’s a drag marble using ulta3 Soft Hydrangea and Silver Grey – it incorporates something old (I bought Silver Grey back in 2006 I think), something new (Soft Hydrangea is part of the Pretty Pastels collection, released last month), something borrowed (design is based on the amazing drag marbles on My Simple Little Pleasures) and something blue (it’s blue). So hopefully that’s the wedding part sorted!

ure thoughts are the same as mine michelle… only i went with them for the post so mine is boring! hehe! this looks fab tho… gorge colour choice xxx
Haha I’m glad – I was worried that everyone else would have complex flowery acrylic stuff and mine would look weird! 🙂
haha i love the show big fat gypsy weddings! (the women on the show however must be very delusional to think that bright pinky dresses actually look half decent haha)
lurvly nails xo
It’s so great for making me feel well-adjusted and untrashy 🙂 Thanks!
NEEDS MOAR TULLE! AND MOAR GLITTER! ALL THE GLITTER! WHERE’S THE GLITTER?
Lmao!
I did not bring the sass. I am so sorry. -_-
very nice color, think I have to start trying out Ulta3 =)
Definitely! It’s so cheap, it’s practically risk free 🙂
This is very simple and appropriate.
Exactly what I was going for, thanks! 🙂
I like how soft and subtle these are.
Thanks Ameerah! And welcome 🙂
So pretty!! I can’t wait to look at all the posts on this topic, I’m getting married 12/12/12 and need inspiration! 🙂
Oooh nice date, as long as all thos Mayan conspiracy things are wrong 😉 Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Definitely feel the same about the whole simple wedding (beach wedding or DESTINATION wedding omg!) but I’m Indian, and Indians don’t do simple weddings lol. This is very pretty though, and I like how you incorporated the “somethings” into the mani.
The last huge public wedding I saw was Indian – horses and huge dance numbers in front of the Sydney Opera House! I always thought destination weddings were a great way of avoiding the “do I or don’t I invite them to the reception” awkwardness 😉
i love you take on wedding nails! great idea 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
Very soft and pretty manicure, I like it!
Thanks Emily! 🙂
this is so pretty!
So simple and pretty!
Thanks Sharon! 🙂
I love how you used something, old, something new, something borrowed and something blue! 🙂
Thanks Alanna! I wanted to make it look like I had an excuse for doing yet another drag marble 😉
So pretty! Great take on the theme.
That is really pretty!
Thanks Omega! 🙂
Stunning nails. I wish I did something funkier for my wedding nails but I went plain and simple aka BORING
Nothing wrong with that, I think I’d be too stressed to do anything interesting tbh!
