Taylor Swift’s Timeless Engagement Mani

“Taylor Swift embraced a delicate, romantic manicure for her engagement,” says professional nail artist and founder of Pattie Yankee Polish, Pattie Yankee. “A whisper of color that captured both elegance and intimacy. The subtle nude shade complemented her iconic style while keeping the focus on the moment of love and showcasing her stunning ring.”

And that’s exactly what makes it so perfect for an engagement announcement—it doesn’t overshadow the moment.

“A sheer polish, a timeless French or even a subtle touch of glitter makes for the perfect engagement mani because these styles are elegant, versatile and never distract from the ring,” explains nail artist Erica De Los Santos. “They enhance the beauty of your hands while keeping the spotlight on the sparkle that matters most.”

If you’re looking to recreate this look in-salon, De Los Santos advises requesting a classic sheer polish. “Be sure to ask for a soft nude or pink with a natural oval shape,” she advises.
