Gel, powder, or traditional nail polish?

Not so fast! You also need to decide what style manicure you want for your wedding! Will you choose a long-lasting option like gel or powder? Or do you prefer traditional polish??

    Traditional polish!
    My fingers have a bad reaction (swelling, pain, etc) to both gel and powder :-(

    I would love to stick with my natural nails with shellac on them, but if they're too short then I'll probably go for gel

    I have worn fake nails once and they drove me nuts! They felt heavy and just got in the way, even though they were as short as possible. I know gel can be applied to a natural nail and it helps keep a long lasting look without chipping etc, so I think I might go that way.

    I think shellac for me but not sure if it's gel or what. I want something long-lasting since I'd be afraid of chipping or cracking regular polish beforehand.

    That's a good question I'm still undecided - maybe gel since that seems popular lol. I never wear nail polish and I'm not familiar with what's what so hopefully I can get my nails done before the wedding to figure out how I want them. I don't know who I want to do my nails either 😬 need to choose who or where I'm going to

    I think gel. Something that won't ruin my natural nails but will also last the whole day long.

    I am not a fan of fake nails, so I will do a gel polish on my natural nails. My nails grow really fast so I am thinking I will get them done a couple times before our wedding, so that they are grown out a bit as well.

    I always ruin my nails when I use regular polish, so I'll be getting gel.

    I'll have fake nails because my actual nails are terrible. Super soft and there is no way I can keep them from tearing for more than a week.

    I'm doing gel on my natural nails. I can't stand the feeling of fake ones and they just ruin my nails
