10 Wedding-Worthy Nail Polish Colors From Essie

The Best Wedding Day Nail Polish Colors

Essie Blanc

Kicking things off with a classic, this glossy white shade is a great option for the bride who wants to keep it totally neutral or stick to an all-white theme. With just two coats, you’ll get a completely opaque mani that looks crisp, chic and flattering on all skin tones. 

Essie Marshmallow

If you’re looking for a milky shade with a hint of creamy color to it, this is the polish for you. With one coat, you’ll achieve a very sheer, glossy manicure, while two or three coats will create semi-opaque coverage that lets your natural nails shine through.

Essie Mademoiselle

A sheer baby pink manicure is a wedding classic, and this fan-favorite shade will help you achieve just that. The buildable color strikes the perfect balance between a faded bubblegum pink and peach for a timeless shade that looks gorgeous on all complexions. 

Essie Ballet Slippers

You can’t go wrong with this pick on your wedding day. Two coats of this bestselling shade will leave nails just slightly visible under the polish, while three coats will provide an opaque pale pink color. 

Essie Sugar Daddy

A bubblegum pink mani with a sheer finish is the perfect romantic choice, and this shade is our favorite for achieving the look. It can be layered for a more pigmented look, or applied lightly for a barely-there shine. It also works beautifully as the base for a classic French manicure.

Essie Millennium Momentum

A nude manicure that complements your skin tone is a great choice for your wedding day. This light beige color flatters a wide range of skin tones, and the quick-dry formula will allow you to DIY in no time — because we know getting ready for a wedding is an exciting but time-consuming feat. 

Essie Cold Brew Crew

This medium warm brown looks gorgeous on deep skin tones, and it’s a great choice if you want to opt for a nude mani with some richness to it. We love that it delivers full pigmentation in just one to two coats, making it a quick option if you’re in a hurry. 

Essie Forever Yummy

Bridal nails don’t need to be neutral — you can totally go for a bold color that will create a beautiful contrast with your dress. We love this classic color because it’s a rich, cool-toned red that pops against all skin tones. 

Essie In My Sandbox

For a more pigmented alternative to the sheer baby pink and white polishes typically favored by brides, try this milky off-white shade with rosy undertones. If you can’t decide between pink and cream, this pretty polish is the perfect middle ground.

Essie Bikini So Teeny

Why not let your mani be your something blue? This light cornflower shade with a subtle sparkle is unexpected yet understated enough to work on your wedding day. Envisioning this baby blue polish with a white gown is giving us total dreamy fairytale vibes.
