2025 Bridal Nail Trends: French Tips, Chrome & 3D Pearl Nail Art | 14 Day Mani

2025 Bridal Nail Trends: French Tips, Chrome & 3D Pearl Nail Art | 14 Day Mani - 14 Day Manicure

Whether you're a minimalist bride or planning a full-glam wedding look, your manicure is a key detail that ties it all together, and for 2025 brides, nails are having their main character moment. The latest trending bridal nail looks blend timeless elegance with statement-making charm - and there's one standout feature leading the way: 3D pearl nail art.

When I was planning my own wedding last September.  I couldn't find the perfect nail colour.  I wanted something soft, natural, and elegant but nothing felt quite right.  It wasn't until after the big day that I discovered (and created) the shade I'd been searching for: Strawberry Cream.  It's now our most-loved bridal colour, and the one I still wear to this day.  It lasted five full weeks after the wedding, and honestly, it's everything I wished I'd had at the time.  That's why I made it - for brides who want timeless nails they can truly reply on. - Suzanne, Founder of 14 Day Mani.

Classic French Tip with 3D Pearl Accents

Timeless and chic, the French tip manicure is a forever bridal favourite - but this year, it’s getting a luxury update with dainty pearl embellishments. Think delicate half pearls placed along the smile line or gathered subtly at the cuticle for a graceful, modern twist.

To get the look, start with a sheer pink or nude base like 'Champagne' paired with a crisp white tip using 'Oat Milk'. Add pearl charms with a small dot of Builder Gel for long-lasting hold.

This design works beautifully for the wedding day itself, as well as bridal showers, engagement shoots or rehearsal dinners.

Oat Milk – Chrome Pearl Bridal Nails with Scattered 3D Pearls from 14 Day Mani – Milky white chrome nails layered with luminous 3D pearls across each nail for a modern and dreamy bridal manicure.

Chrome Nails with Pearl Nail Art

For the bride who loves a bit of glow, chrome nails with 3D pearls offer the perfect combination of shine and softness. A pearlescent chrome finish mimics the sheen of real pearls - and when topped with clusters or scattered pearls, it creates an ultra-luxe effect.

Choose shade 'Oat Milk' as a base and apply silver chrome powder on top for that high-shine, reflective finish. Once cured, accent the nails with scattered pearls, and secure with Builder Gel for strength and lasting power.

This design pairs especially well with silk or satin dresses and adds dimension in wedding photography.

This nail look is ideal for fashion-forward brides or those opting for multiple wedding outfits - from ceremony to afterparty.
