A formal nail style is all about the application and manicure!
Think about what you will wear for the formal you will be attending. You can choose a contrasting color that will flatter your outfit or you can use a color that is the same as what you will wear.
To make the nails look more formal, be sure to trim your cuticles and file your nails to the same length first. The manicure before hand is what will make the formal nail so beautiful.
A very pretty shape to try is a soft square tip. After you wash your hands, paint your nails with two coats of a color of your choice.
It’s a common misconception that formal nails must be a French manicure or classic red.
You can find many beautiful jewel tone colors like navy blue, deep purple or emerald green. When you paint these bold colors in two coats with a high gloss, you’ll get a really beautiful finish and contemporary formal nail style.
You can play around with different tips to enhance this look. Think about using a color or glitter tip. You might also add a crystal jewel to the center of each tip for a little extra glamour in your manicure.
If you don’t have a crystal jewel, look for a polish that has chunky glitter in it. Just brush a little on the solid nail tip for an easy sparkle.
When the light hits your nails, your formal nail style will shine so very pretty!
