The Prettiest Manicures To Nail Your Engagement Proposal Photos

The season of fall and winter is not only known for its beauty, but they're also recognized as popular seasons for engagement proposals. You’re probably reading this blog because you can sense a proposal coming sooner 😉 or maybe you’re the soon-to-be-engaged’s best friend tasked to go on a nail date with her. Either way, you will definitely be filled with excitement and butterflies in your stomach! We have selected the prettiest white, nude, and pink manicures that will complement the timeless and classic atmosphere of the engagement day.

 

 

• Pink, White Ombre With Jewel

 

Elegant nails that are straight out of Pinterest! iGel Beauty Alamani Designs Nailart shows us a seamless ombre using the pink, nude shade of Diamond Sculpture Gel - Honesty. If you’re a fan of hybrid gels, we suggest you check her other creative nude pink nail ideas

 

 

• Simple Light Nude Gel Nail

 

If we want our best friend to not get any hints, these very demure nails by iGel Beauty Oceannailstampa are the answer. The sweet light nude/beige color of Dip & Dap Duo - DD253 Demure can be worn as a nail base or just as is! Try adding your artistic flare with some nail art accessories.

 

 

• Sparkly Nails With Flower Accent

 

Match the sparkle of your engagement ring! Save this nail set by iGel Beauty Milynails1213 right now because it’s both engagement and wedding-approved. It’s breathtaking to see how the Diamond Sculpture Gel - G03 Sealed with a Kiss shined through with its pale pink tone and blended with the nail art. 

 

 

• Chrome French On Natural Nails

 

French design on natural nails will never fail you on every occasion. Like what iGel Beauty Livys.nails did in this set, make your nails glow by adding a chrome effect over your Dip & Dap Powder - DD009 Ballerina Gown base. Chrome Powder Pens are available to help you apply your favorite chrome pigment easily.

 

 

• Pure White Nails With Glitter

 

White is automatically on top of classic engagement or wedding nail colors. To recreate this set, we recommend an opaque pure white gel polish like LB Duo - LB001 Chalk White for the base, then Platinum Ombre Gel - PL OM01 Sparkling Silver Mist for that glow. iGel Beauty Luanne613 finished it off with an iGel No Cleanse Top Coat.

 

  

• Short Sage Green Chrome Nails

 

Time for another Chrome action with iGel Beauty esthetics.by.sydney’s masterpiece. The pastel green shade of Dip & Dap Duo - DD183 Honeydew is very subtle as seen in this swatch video, and has the power to replace your usual neutrals. The high-shine finish of the chrome made the set look incredible.

 

 

• Pearl French Over Natural Nails

 

Have a pearl French moment with the white shimmer shade of iGel Match - 059 Leechee! iGel Beauty Viks.gel.nails created this simple, clean set using the technique of structured manicure over natural nails. She used Builder in a Bottle - Sheer Nude to build a strong foundation, then applied iGel No Cleanse Top Coat to seal the nails.

 

 

• Simple Stiletto Nails With Pearl Design

 

This nail inspo from iGel Beauty Crystal Barela is “The One” for our dearest stiletto lovers. Achieve the base color for these nails by painting the same soft white shade of Dip & Dap Duo - DD164 Winter White. If you’re looking for an alternative to glazed nails, try the pearl design which also suits the classy theme. 

 

 

• White V-Tip French Sugar Nails

 

Sugar nail design is our pick for winter engagement proposals! iGel Beauty Nailsbyavryl used Dip & Dap Duo - DD173 I'm Blushing, a 5-star opaque peach nude shade known to be one of the best base colors from the collection. When creating your own fine glitter or sugar nail design, we recommend our Dip & Dap Powder - Holo Chrome (CD01-CD18).

 

 

• Milky White Marble With Gold Foil

 

Is your soon-to-be-engaged bestie into short nails? This milky marble structured manicure from iGel Beauty Pressempressnails will totally impress her. She used two iGel Beauty products (Builder in a Bottle - Clear and Builder in a Bottle - Milky White) that combine primer and base in one, and help the nails gain a thicker layer while still giving a natural look.

 

 

• Glow In The Dark Soft Pink Nails

 

Here’s a simple yet fun nail idea for engagement proposal nails! Who would’ve thought you could have a soft pink, nude glow-in-the-dark manicure? Thanks to iGel Beauty Ginny Smith’s tutorial video, we can now apply Diamond Sculpture Gel - Glow in the Dark - SG3 Soft Pink using Sculpture Gel Brush and Nail Forms - 06 smoothly.

 

 

• Milk Bath Nails With Leaves

 

If bridal and fall nails had a child, this would be it! iGel Beauty Christine Garcia’s polish of choice, Dip & Dap Duo - DD164 Winter White, is a milk bath white color that undeniably gives a creamy, smooth effect. The addition of leaves made this set seem more realistic and relaxing to the eyes, perfect for autumn.

 

 

• Classy Medium Square French Nails

 

iGel Beauty Beautewithem describes this French nail set as a “classic in a non-classic way”. Decorating your wonderful partner’s nails with flowers and pearls (like the ones in Nail Art Rhinestone Box - 02) is enough to elevate the look. Just like her, we all have fallen in love with iGel No Cleanse Top Coat 0.5 oz as it brings durable and long-lasting protection.

 

 

• Pink Shimmer On Natural Nails

 

We’re obsessing over the idea of sheer pink nail colors for engagement proposal photos, and how they make the nails look so lovely and feminine. In this set, iGel Beauty Aildincoffins used Dip & Dap Duo - DD006 Tango Pink, a stunning cotton candy pink color that is subtly chic. If you want to see more pink shimmer shades, explore the romantic Rosé Duo collection.

 

 

An engagement proposal is a huge milestone that requires long preparation. Don’t forget to give your partners the confidence boost they may need as they say the sweetest “Yes”! Make them feel beautiful with any of our nail inspirations above, and thank us later. To our engaged and married iGel Beauties, share with us in our community your gorgeous nails and how ecstatic you were that day! Celebrate love, and best wishes to the newly engaged couples!
