Hiyyyya Ladies !!!!!
I will be getting married in the next 2 months and I have started making the necessary make-up arrangements. My marriage is going to be a traditional South Indian Iyer wedding, being an Indian bride my hands and feet will be filled with mehendi designs. I want to wear different nail paints for my wedding apart from the usual maroons, reds and French manicure.
My saree colors are going to be Bright Orange, Neon Green-ish and yellow, Light pink and dark blue. My skin tone is wheatish-fair. Please suggest color(s) from the brands – Lakme/ Colorbar/ Maybelline/Loreal as they are easily available for me.

What does your Nail Polish Colour say about You : Nails Fun
Hey! Your sarees sound really pretty 🙂 I saw go with the color that is present in your saree in a subtle tone. If your saree is mainly orange with hints of green, go with green on your nails, and so on.
Maybelline’s Colorshow range is great, I recommend Sweet Sunshine, Tangerine Treat and Coral Craze for your colors. But they have many neons and pastels that sound good for your outfit so be sure to take a look 🙂 (PS: They are pretty cheap too)
Personally I feel Bold Gold from Maybelline Colorshow Range is a perfect bridal color..! I like silver and gold glitter too by Colorbar! 🙂
Since you wear mehandi silver, white, pearl white, baby pink, maroon and red colors look great with it. Though you get tempted to change nail colors according to sari colors, I feel it is not that practical admist all the chaos. So it is better to go with one or two neutral colors which look good with the mehandi. That way you can even touch it up everyday easily without going thru the hassle of removing all the paint and reappplying another color. Congrats on your wedding 🙂
Oh and I forgot to mention, gold is a nice bridal nail color too. If you have time and patience, you can get a simple nail art with Red and gold colors.
As many have suggested above golds, reds, pearls, browns and silver will look amazing. From my experience i would suggest two things. Make sure the nail color goes well with all ur outfits. In an Iyer marriage, u might be changing ur outfits a lot na. And, the second suggestion is make sure what kind of mehendi design ur going to opt before deciding the manicure. My cousin sis wanted a sheer manicure but the mehendi wala did the caps (as insisted by her mum) and light colors do not look very good on stained nails. She was forced to select another color. It might look simple but at that point of time, these r the things that cause irritation. Best wishes 🙂
