I got engaged last fall. I have to say it was the best night ever—all I could hope for, really—except for one very important detail that I unfortunately do dwell on regularly. My nails were short and brown.
I'm not easy to surprise, and if one of my friends had suggested a manicure earlier in the week, the alarm bells would have sounded off in my brain. I'm now happily (almost) married and have come to accept the fact that my engagement manicure was mocha. If I could do it over, though, I'd take some sage advice from celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorigt: "A great engagement manicure feels timeless, something you’ll still love when you look back at your photos years from now."
