“For my wedding day, I wanted to go with something simple and classic, but with a slight twist. So, I decided on an ivory shade with a light blue shade on my left ring finger as my “something blue”. I went with almond-shaped gel extensions that were longer than I usually wear my nails but short enough that I was still able to type/do other day-to-day things, as I’d be wearing them for at least a couple of weeks afterward. I got my nails done at Beauty Box [in NYC] on the Upper West Side, and they did an amazing job. Plus, they were so excited to be doing my wedding manicure, which made it that much more special!” — Catherine Santino, freelance writer and editor
