Engagement-Ready Nails: Prep Your Tips To Be Shown Off!

We've already told you that everyone is engaged. No, really, everyone. And, if you think that a nice piece of ice could be in your imminent future (mazel tov in advance!), let us dispense a little bit of advice: You're going to want to work on your hands now. Yes, it's selfish and superficial, and it pales in importance when compared to the prospect of spending your life with another person. Obvious criticisms aside, when that new rock is on your hand, your fingers are going to be very popular — this is one time when it's absolutely worth it to be a little extra mindful of your tips.

With engagement season in full swing (February 14 is right around the corner), Vogue rounded up a selection of 13 super-luxe manicure essentials that will get your hands looking gorgeous, fast. From the world's most fabulous nail-polish remover (apricot-scented and Dior, of course) to the Rolls-Royce of nail files, your hands will look better than ever. Just keep the polish nude, please — all the better for ring-gawking! (Vogue)
