Although you might not know exactly when you're getting engaged, it doesn't hurt to be prepared. Let's face it: you're probably going to want to share a picture of your ring on Instagram, so you'll most likely want to make sure that your nails are looking as good as can be. A lot of my friends have recently become brides-to-be, and they always tell me that wish they had gone for a different nail colour or design now that they look back on photos of the special day. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with classic, timeless shades like white, baby blue or pale pink. A French-tip mani is also a good idea, as it always looks chic.
As a beauty editor, I spend a lot of my day looking at different manicures, nail art and nail trends online, so I thought it was about time that I rounded up my favourite engagement nail ideas for anyone who is starting to think about that next step. It goes without saying that it doesn't really matter what your manicure looks like; what's important is being in the moment with your partner, but if you do want to make sure that your nails are on point, then keep on scrolling for all the chic nail inspiration you could possibly need. I guarantee that all of these designs will be in style for years to come, so you won't look back and regret your choice. I've also popped some of my favourite nail products below so that you can re-create the looks easily at home. Now that the nails are sorted, time to think about what to wear…
