16 Gorgeous Manicures to Show Off Your Engagement Ring

If you got something sparkly over this festive season, chances are you’re booking the nail appointment as we type. While we love our polishes on the best of days, a chance to celebrate the arrival of a fabulous new engagement ring is an opportunity not to be missed and definitely merits a trip to the salon! Of course it’s going to be all about your fabulous new ring but as your hands are going to be getting lots of attention, you’ll want them to look the part too.

There are so many gorgeous manicure ideas out there that will flatter your ring from solid polishes to splashes of silver and gold and cute diamanté details (they’ll bring out the sparkle in your ring without stealing the show). Whether you’re a cheery red nail gal like Lauren Conrad (she sported these gorgeous red nails when she stepped out with her new engagement ring) or you’re after some pretty metallic tips like Jessica Biel, there are engagement manicure ideas to inspire all styles of bride-to-be below…
