Your bridal nail timeline: what to do and when

Press-ons take the stress out of wedding nails, but a little planning goes a long way.

6 weeks before

Order a Sizing Kit and your shortlisted sets. Do a full trial with glue and wear it for a few days to check fit and comfort.

2 weeks before

Pause gel manicures and give your natural nails a break. Start a nightly cuticle oil routine.

2 days before

Apply your set after mehendi has dried and been scraped off — henna and fresh glue do not mix well.

On the day

Carry the mini file and a few spare nails in your clutch. That is all you need.
