Betina R. Goldstein's commanding nail art masterpieces created on those tiny canvases renders itself delicate blooms, graphic patterns, mixed media designs, and at times, nostalgia-evoking prints. "My signature aesthetic leans towards intricately ornamented or hand-painted designs that are minimalistic," she reveals to me. In an exclusive with Khush, the based manicurist, who has expertly sculpted, painted, and filed the nails of high-profile stars like Zoë Kravtiz, Gemma Chan and others, creates four stunning styles so you can polish up your bridal nail game.

MEHNDI For pre-wedding nails, Betina drew inspiration from the vibrant yellow palette, which is often a bride's go-to for the mehndi. She ups the ante with a gold leaf paper base topped off with romantic hand-painted blooms. "Realism in nail art has started picking up, and it's a style I believe we will see more brides exploring with."
