Trendy Nail Inspo You'll Love From Past Boudoir Photoshoots
You’ll Love This Boudoir Nail Inspo!
No boudoir look is complete without a fresh manicure. Despite this, it can be overwhelming to choose the right nail inspo for you. You can’t change in and out of nails the way you can with lingerie. So how do you decide?
Every woman approaches this question a little differently. Here are some of the most common themes we hear from gals who have already come into the Chicago Boudoir Studio.
Nailing It
You might already know that we offer complimentary hair and makeup for anyone who purchases a session fee. Our beauty team are experts in creating looks that pop just as much on camera as they do in real life. One thing to note, however, is that we don’t offer manicure services at the studio.
Nail inspo often goes overlooked when it comes to boudoir. We get it. Shopping for lingerie is new and exciting. It’s easy to forget to freshen up your nails. AND one of our most common photo retouching requests is fixing up chipped nails. So, if you want to nail your boudoir photoshoot - pun intended - come with nails you are ready to show off.
Nail Inspo For YOUR Boudoir Photoshoot
Just like lingerie, everyone has different tastes in manicures. There is no “right way” to paint your nails before your luxury boudoir photoshoot. Let this list of nail inspo be just that, inspiration. There are no rules here!
Keep it Classic
Your boudoir photoshoot will have time for multiple lingerie looks. If you want to make sure that your nails match every outfit, you can’t go wrong with a classic nail design. A French Tip set is a great example.
A neutral nail can look traditionally bridal in a white lingerie outfit. It can also give you that boss babe aura in an oversized work shirt. The point is, you’ll have more variety in your photos without risking a color clash.
Accent Colors
That said, there is nothing wrong with using your nails to bring a pop of color to all of your outfits.
Before your appointment, take a look at all the lingerie you plan to bring to the studio. What color could accent these pieces well? For instance, if your lingerie is mostly all-black, an bold red nail could add a sneaky bit of spice!
Matchy Matchy
You can also go the complete opposite route and match your nails to your favorite set. The logic is simple. If the color of the lingerie looks good on you, the nail polish will too. Ergo, your lingerie taste can become the ultimate nail inspo!
There are lots of options when it comes to color. Maybe you want to give a wink to your partner by choosing their favorite color. Heck! Choose your own favorite color. Monochrome is always, always a look.
Nail Gems
If you’re the type of gal who loves bling, grab the nail glue and pop on a few gems. Adding a bit of sparkle to your nails can add glam to every outfit (even if you have nothing else on)!
Even if you normally don’t wear them, a boudoir photoshoot is the perfect time to experiment with new styles. Nails count too! So, if you want some really original nail inspo, these boudoir nail gem looks might be the best option for you.
Bare it All
When you’re already considering a nude look for your boudoir photoshoot, why not consider ‘naked’ nails? Sometimes, quality shaping and a bit of top coat is all you need.
Besides, at the end of the day, ‘boudoir’ is just a fancy word for a woman’s bedroom. Well-manicured bare nails can add that behind-the-scenes vibe the word implies. It’s giving au naturel!
Time to Show It Off!
Once you choose the nail inspo for you, it’s time to show it off! There are so many boudoir poses that can feature your beautifully polished nails. Just let your photographer know you want to make your manicure a part of the final images. It’s that easy!
