When one thinks of engagement nails, bridal whites, subtle nudes and sheer pinks likely spring to mind. I, however, took a different approach, opting for a luxe but perhaps unconventional hue - the sort that complements jewellery (wink wink) but wouldn't broadcast my proposal suspicions or look out of place if I was wrong...
I like to think of myself as a rational person, but sometime between October and November last year, I might as well have swapped my job title from Beauty Writer to investigative journalist. Maybe it was the spontaneously-booked Christmas trip to our first-ever holiday destination (seven years prior) that tipped me off, or my boyfriend's comical double-take at every jewellery shop we passed in the weeks leading up to it. Regardless, by the time December 1st arrived, my list of 'clues' was a mile long and my nail appointment was booked. Now, while neutral nail designs are typically the go-to for such an occasion, 10% of my brain (that realistic and rational portion), was saying: "What if you're wrong?"
