Finding the perfect polish for your wedding day manicure is no easy feat. You want to choose something on-trend but timeless enough that you won’t cringe at your photos in 10 years. Whether you are looking for a pretty pastel hue or show-stopping sparkle, the new limited edition Reem Acra Essie Gel Couture™ collection has something for every bride-to-be and her squad. 

Conceived with the magic of matrimony in mind, the six new shades are inspired by intimate moments shared between a bride and the women closest to her. Whether you’re a bridesmaid, mother-of-the-bride or wedding guest, the collection presents lust-worthy color for everyone. In the fashion world, Reem Acra is known for her exquisite embroidery, and each awe-inspiring shade includes an element of that same magic. “Partnering with Essie, I was able to bring my bridal design aesthetic to life. I dreamed this Essie Gel Couture™ wedding collection up as a royal affair – a grand party celebrating a big day,” says Acra – equating its magic to opening a jewelry box and peeking inside. 

Let your nails be your something blue with “Getting Intricate” or mirror rose gold bridesmaid dresses with an equally exquisite polish like “Handmade of Honor.” Whichever color you choose, your nails will be big-day ready. 

The 2-step Essie Gel Couture™ process to achieve long-lasting, chip-resistant color is super easy. Begin with two coats of your favorite shade, then, top it off with Essie’s platinum grade finish top coat for instant gel-like shine (no lights or heat required). 

The Essie Gel Couture™ wedding collection by Reem Acra retails at $11.50 per bottle and will be available for a limited time only, at essie.com, fine salons and beauty destinations nationwide.
