The Best Nail Colours For An Engagement Reveal
So you said yes?! Now comes the fun part. The engagement reveal. But first, nails. With everyone set to fawn over your latest wardrobe addition, it’s time to book in for a manicure.
But what colour do you paint your nails for an engagement reveal? What shape will you go for?
Unless you’re a regular, or have been quietly contributing to your Instagram saved folder all these years (yes, we all have one), choosing a colour can be difficult at the best of times. And after almost 10 years in business, servicing a number of brides-to-be, we’d like to think we’ve got you covered when it comes to choosing the right colour manicure for an engagement reveal.

Choosing the shape
We always recommend sticking as close to your natural shape as possible. As long as the nails are healthy, the skin around them is clean and your cuticles are in order, they’ll always look gorgeous. Just keep them nice and tidy.
Choosing the colour
After helping so many of our clients decide on what colour to choose, our advice is to keep it simple and chic. Go for something that’s timeless and classic. Something you can look back on, years from now, and still fall in love with.
The best nail colours for an engagement reveal
A Classic Red
Pairing best with gold jewellery, a beautiful red is timeless.
Sheer Nude
Let the ring do its thing.
DARK
Go bold and make a statement.
NEUTRAL
Keep it chic and sophisticated.
FRENCH MANICURE
Elegant and elevated, the micro french tip can elongate the nail.
NAIL ART
Because why not! Our advice? Keep it nice and subtle and stick to the ring finger. Something like a hint of sparkle, your fiance’s initials or the word ‘yes’.

At the end of the day, while some might say you should match the shade to the stone, or cut to the shape, it really doesn’t matter. Choose what makes you happy!
