Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do we choose between a bold seasonal hue and a more neutral 'cashmere' look?

A: We suggest looking at your venue's lighting and overall mood; deep merlots and 'midnight dahlia' tones provide dramatic elegance for evening ballroom affairs, while matte neutrals and soft taupes offer a timeless, sophisticated aesthetic that complements any bridal palette.

Q: When is the ideal time to have these intricate nail designs applied before the wedding?

A: To ensure your hand-painted foliage or gold leaf accents remain flawless for those essential ring shots, we recommend scheduling your professional manicure 1 to 2 days prior to your ceremony.

Q: Will high-shine finishes like chrome or 'amber glass' affect our wedding photography?

A: These luminous finishes are actually divine for golden hour portraits as they catch and reflect light beautifully. However, if you prefer your engagement ring to be the sole focus, a sophisticated matte finish provides a soft, non-reflective backdrop that highlights the stone's brilliance.

Q: Should our nail art directly match our floral arrangements?

A: While it is not necessary to match exactly, we love seeing a cohesive design story. For instance, if your bouquet features dried elements, choosing our 'dried flower bouquet' nail art or a subtle 'olive branch' motif creates a thoughtful, curated connection between your accessories and your aesthetic.
