I want to know what colour First Dance is. I'm almost sure it won't be blue like ours will be ;o).

Seriously though – what were they thinking?!!

I tried to stop biting my nails and grow then for the wedding. I gave up. It was one more thing driving me crazy, so I just let them revert to their natural state. In all the pictures you can see my bitten-down, stumpy fingers, and I don't care.

Wait a minute. What am I saying? No you can't! You can't see my fingers! In fact, in the majority of the pictures, there is no focus on my hands because I was having too much fun!

Oh gack. And I bet they're all colors like cotton candy pink and pale lilac and creamsicle white.

Yes, I agree with Karen exactly! I ran across them and their all the palest, most demure shades of pink. Every single one. Barf.

Er, excuse me, but would someone who would be swayed by the desire to have "Wedding Bliss" fingernails actually stoop to buying her nail polish in a drugstore instead of a department store, or for that matter, to do her own nails?

What might be cool, though, is if you actually incorporated the nail polish into the ceremony. Like, you could go in with the shade "I Do," then right after you leave the ceremony you could paint your nails "Wedding Bells," and then before your first dance, you could put on the "First Dance" shade… It could be performance art!

Clearly the colours will be blush and bashful, etc.
At least they're cheap though – they could have gone with the usual "bridal markup" and made them $40 each…

When my g/f now fiancee announced our engagement, one of the first things someone (an aunt?) told me was that now I'd have to start "taking care of my nails" since I'd be showing off the ring/s. This notice/advert immediately made me think that she must have been writing in suggestions to the bridal mags. *grin*

I actually bought the color "Pawn the Ring" by Orly(I think it was part of their Divorcee set or something)…they also had "Take him to the cleaners"

Y'know, I really don't give a crap what the cheesy name of my nail polish color is so long as I like the color. That said, I'm betting these are crappy colors.

I love the names of Manic Panic dyes and nail polish. I have a gunmetal grey called Hell's Belles.

Was that from Sally Hansen? I recognized the "Diamond Strength" bull crap.
