Engagement photos mean close-ups of your hand, so your nails are in the shot too. The goal is simple: frame the ring, don't compete with it.

Sheer pinks: the classic ring shot

A sheer, natural pink makes a diamond pop.

French tip: timeless

A French tip always photographs well: Petal French. See our French tip guide.

Soft florals: romantic

For something softer: Blush Bouquet or Pink Whisper.

Shape and length

A short or medium almond shape lengthens the fingers and flatters the ring. See almond vs coffin and our tips on making press ons look real.

Timing

Apply the day before your shoot. Sets come in sizes XS to L (some designs XS to M), so measure first with the size guide. Planning ahead? See wedding press on nails.
