One common question I get asked by the seniors I work with is, “What color should I paint my nails?” or, “What nail colors photograph well?”. After booking, I always send my seniors the senior session prep guide so they know exactly what to do with their nails for their senior pictures.
Here are just a few helpful tips from the nail prep section of the senior session prep guide:
- Stay with a neutral shade (white or beige) or opt for the classic French tip. Neon colors are only your friend if they coordinate with all your outfits.
- Make sure your hands are moisturized before your session. Bring an emergency hand cream with you just in case you need to reapply mid-session. Dry hands do not photograph well, especially when they’ll be next to your face in some pictures.
- Take a good look at your nails a few days before your session. Make sure there are no paint chips or broken tips. If you’re wearing press-on nails, remember to bring an emergency nail glue with you in case one accidentally pops off during the session!
- Don’t forget about your toenails, especially if you’re wearing open-toe shoes! If you’re getting your nails professionally done, why not add on a pedicure?
