On your special day, you’re free to walk down the aisle sporting any nail color, shape or length you’d like. While nail color and shape trends have changed radically through the decades, the French manicure remains a favorite choice among brides. Created in the late 1920s for upper-class Parisian women who wanted a clean and natural look for their nails, this classic pale style with pure white at the tips is perfect for brides of any age.

However, professionally applied French manicures are often as delicate as they appear, and the last thing you want to worry about on your big day, when all eyes – and a photographer’s lens – are focusing on you, is a chipped manicure.

Thanks to recent innovations in nail beauty, a professional-quality French manicure can be done easily at home, sparing you an extra salon appointment at an already high-stress time. Nutra Nail’s new Power Gel French Manicure Nail Hardening System combines the sheer, pale beauty of a top quality French manicure, with the reinforced strength of a unique power gel hardening system that makes nails as hard as salon wraps without damaging natural nails. With its patented system, for the first time you can have a French manicure that’s as strong as it is beautiful.

Easy to apply and mistake-proof, the gel and tinted brush-on activator use the power of acrylic technology to work almost immediately, creating a wrap-like surface that prevents nail breakage, fortifies and protects nails. Nails are done in less than five minutes: The high-gloss shine requires no topcoat or UV light, and the built-in sheer chip-less color means just one layer of polish is needed. And it’s fast drying, so you won’t have to worry about smudging.

Everything you need for a flawless, long-lasting French manicure or pedicure at home or on the go is included: tip polish, guide strips for several tip styles, gel, tinted activator and brush cleaner.

Available in sheer pink, sheer beige or sheer mauve at most drug, food and discount stores for the first time, it’s easier than ever to “nail” down that salon-perfect look for your wedding in the comfort of your own home.
