She says you’re able to also wear gloves overnight to help lock in the moisture.

So with all that in mind, below are 17 bridesmaid nail ideas to inspire your wedding mani.

Be sure to bring this to your manicurist for when the big day rolls around.

A fool-proof shade that will go with any dress color palette is a neutral color.

But regardless of skin tone, going deeper with neutral shades makes for a pretty nail look.

[Its] a great way to incorporate a little something, yet keeps it versatile, adds Goldstein.

Similar to silver, you get a simple yet interesting pop of color.

Just be sure to do so in moderation for a subtle touch of sparkle.

Classic French Tip

you’re free to never go wrong with a French manicure.

Midnight French Tip

Moody and chic, a black nail goes with just about anything.

Add a thin line of shimmer along the tip for an updated French mani thats stunning to look at.

For example, Goldstein loves pairing a metallic green with a pink dress.

It provides just enough contrast while staying within the same color family to tie it all together.

Romantic Red

Nothing says love like the color red (see:red nail theory).

A bold and timeless shade, red manis will work with any wedding theme.

This will keep the nail art subtle, she says.

Vampy Violet

Theres just something so alluring about a deep violet nail.

Opt for a glossy finish to give a vampy violet mani for a more polished look.

We especially love it in this deep lavender for a more delicate shade.
