For my wedding last year I wanted to avoid the typical bridal looks...pink, french manicures etc. Purple is my all-time favourite colour so it was an obvious choice for my wedding colour too. I decided to do something less traditional which felt more 'me'.

I wanted something special so I knew my friend Gina could help me out. Gina is the creator behind 'Red Dog Designs', one of my favourite indie brands. I love glitter polishes and Gina's are some of my favourites. Her polishes are always so sparkly and so well thought out and complex.
I was thrilled when she agreed to make me a wedding day custom! I sent her a picture of my shoes as inspiration and trusted her to come up with the perfect polish. She did just that.

My custom is a blend of various shades of purple glitter in different sizes with the signature Red Dog holographic microglitter.
I had a lot of trouble before the wedding trying to decide what base colour to wear underneath my custom but I kept coming back to the same few polishes. I ended up doing a gradient with them!
I started out with a white base. Then I used OPI Funky Dunkey, Planks a Lot and Rumples Wiggin to create my gradient and topped with one coat of my custom and some topcoat.

I still love this manicure a year later and I feel like I will probably continue to wear it for our anniversaries.
What do you think of it? What did/will you wear for your wedding manicure?
