The Perfect Nail Colour to Compliment your Engagement Ring

• 

Want to make sure your new engagement ring really stands out in photos? The times have changed from only matching your nail colour to your outfit, it’s now about coordinating with your engagement ring! A manicure and the right shade of nail polish can give your ring the best chance to sparkle.

Now, there are SO many shades to choose from that it can become overwhelming and nail trends come and go. Stay true to you and your style, but choose a colour that will stand the test of time and remain classic as you will have these photos for the rest of your life.

I have created this helpful guide on what nail colour to choose for different ring styles and gemstones. But no matter what colour you choose, make sure that your cuticles are moisturized and manicured.

Black Diamond and Gold

Black diamonds are such a statement for the bold bride. I recommend a mininalist style manicure with elements of black to coordinate with your ring, but not to take away from it.

Pink Diamond and Gold

The ultra feminine diamond – pink for the uber romantic bride! I recommend a soft pink to beautiful match your diamond! You can never go wrong with pink nails!

Emerald, Diamond and Gold

Emerald, a gemstone that is a true pop of colour! Now you could wear the same shade of nail polish, but I recommend to let your ring stand out solo! Choose a white or even opaque white to keep the focus on the true star of the show!

Diamond and Gold

Timeless calls for timeless. I recommend keeping to a peachy rose hue to compliment this classic ring!

Diamond and Platinum

With such a cool tone, blue is the perfect shade to compliment a platinum, silver or white gold and diamond ring. PLUS, it can be your “something blue”!

Diamond and Rose Gold

Rose gold is so beautiful and truly stands out with warmth. I recommend to match it with a nude or beige shade to help it stand out.
