Prom nails have to survive a full night of dancing, hugging, and posing for what feels like a hundred photos, so durability is just as important as the design itself.
What I always suggest for prom is a color that complements the dress without overwhelming it, something that photographs beautifully under every kind of lighting.
Here are the 25 classy prom nails my clients keep requesting.
Classic Nude for Prom
A soft, glossy nude is the most requested prom shade, it pairs with literally any dress color.
Prom Nails with Gold Detail
A fine gold line gives prom photos a little extra shimmer without going overboard.
Dress-Matching Color Sets
Matching the nail color to the dress is one of the most requested prom looks I paint.
Prom French Tip
A clean French line is a timeless choice that never competes with the dress.
Long Prom Nail Sets
Extra length is my top recommendation for clients wanting a statement look for one big night.
