Prom Nail Ideas: The Prettiest Manicures For Your Big Night

Posted by May 04, 2012 11:15 am

A sheer glitter polish is the perfect way to elevate a pretty neutral nail. 

 

If you love the idea of a French manicure but want to try something a little more fashion-forward, try neon tips. 

 

A sparkly opaque polish makes a great accent to a nude base color. 

 

If your dress is classic and simple, inject some fun with pretty pastel nails. 

 

A statement nail is absolutely perfect for prom, especially when paired with a gorgeous classic pink shade. 

 

Special occasion nails don't necessarily have to be neutral. Bright pop colors look amazing if you're so inclined! 

 

We're still loving dove grey nails, especially with a silver glitter ombre effect. 

 

For those that can't give up their dark nail polish, try a matte black polish with contrasting shiny tips to mix it up. 

 

Never underestimate the power of classic red. It will go with just about everything. 

 

A mink-y grey is the perfect complement to a neutral dress. 

 

Neutral nails are suddenly much more interesting when done with an ombre effect.

 

Peachy coral nails are perfect with a pastel dress. 

 

If you want to try something fashion-forward, try tonal nails for a twist. 

 

Metallic nails have been around for a few seasons now, but we especially love them when paired with a bold lip. 

 

Try the grown-out manicure look with a neutral base and pastel tips.
