An engagement ring selfie is basically the modern version of an engagement announcement. After you’ve told your closest loved ones the good news one-on-one, posting an engagement ring pic on social media will help you spread the word on a wider scale. And, of course, it’ll also help you show off that new engagement ring that you’re probably obsessed with!
If you want your engagement ring selfie to shine and stand out on social media, there’s one thing you shouldn’t forget: a gorgeous manicure. A manicure can help ensure that your hands, nails, and cuticle beds are put-together and perfectly picture ready. When paired with some good lighting, a great background, and maybe an artfully placed prop or two, the right mani can pull your whole ring selfie look together.
Not sure what type of manicure or backdrop to pair with your engagement ring? We’re here to help with these easy and beautiful manicure ideas and picture tips for your engagement ring selfie.
Spell Out Your Love With a Prop or Nail Art

One of our favorite engagement ring selfie ideas is to put a cute written message right in your picture. You could use a mug, as seen alongside the stunning oval diamond ring and fun blue manicure pictured above. Or, you could go trendy and use a letter board. If you’re good at DIY nail art, you could also go the extra mile and spell out your love on your nails itself. Writing a simple “yes,” “love,” or “I do” on your nails is a pretty and sweet way to let your followers in on your engagement news.
Moody Hues
A lush black nail polish adds sophistication and glamour to this halo engagement ring selfie.
While many people associate bridal manicures with pastel hues, a dark nail color can really help an engagement ring selfie pop. Sporting a polish color like black, deep grey, or dark green can add a moody elegance to an engagement ring picture that’s simply captivating. To make this engagement mani look even more romantic alongside your engagement ring, try pairing it with a background that features natural elements, such as wood, stone, leaves, or flowers.
Classic Red
Classic red nail polish is the perfect way to complement a classic engagement ring.
If you’re a red nail polish lover, an engagement ring selfie presents the perfect opportunity to don this classic manicure hue. Red nail polish will add a feminine and bold, yet classy element to your picture that will make your engagement ring look even more glam.
Chic Neutrals
Classy and understated, this peachy light pink nail polish is an ideal accent that doesn’t try to compete with the stunningly brilliant Double Halo Diamond Twist Engagement Ring.
If you want to add a refined element to your pic without pulling focus from your ring, go for a chic neutral nail. Note that a neutral nail polish color is a particularly good complement for brides-to-be who have especially eye-catching gemstone or diamond engagement rings. If your ring is bold in design, size, brilliance, or detail, a chic neutral nail look is a lovely choice that will help all eyes stay on your mesmerizing ring.
A metallic neutral polish adds a pretty touch to this engagement ring selfie, while the gorgeously glam vintage-inspired Charleston Ring shines bright.
Ring Finger Accent

What could be more fitting for an engagement ring selfie than a ring finger accent? Decking out your wedding ring finger with a sparkly bit of bling, like a rhinestone or a metallic reverse french manicure accent, will draw even more attention to your gorgeous new engagement ring.
Engagement Ring Selfie Photography Tip
We’ll close out our post with one final tip! A lot of people find it hard to take a good picture of their hand, so they may struggle to capture the perfect engagement ring selfie. But if you’re having no luck getting a good shot, try holding something in your photo. Some ideas of things you can hold include a wine glass, a mug, or your partner’s hand. Giving your hand something to hold can make a hand photograph look much more natural. So, if the fact that you’re a first time hand model is holding back the potential of your on-point mani, great natural lighting, and dazzling new engagement ring, try holding a few different props until you get a shot you adore.
