Whether you’re hosting family pujas, dancing at a Diwali party, or simply curating your festive selfies, your nails deserve a moment in the spotlight. Here’s your Vogue-approved guide to the nail trends that will have you lighting up the season-literally and figuratively.


1. Gilded Gold: The Diya-Inspired Classic

Nothing says Diwali quite like gold — full-gold chrome, delicate foil accents, or shimmery ombré that catches every flicker of candlelight. Gold nails have officially transcended cliché to become timelessly chic.

Floss Beauty pick: Eclipse: all the shine with zero stress.

Pair with: Deep maroons, forest greens, or black velvet for instant opulence.


2. Chrome Dreams: Mirror, Mirror on My Nails

Sleek, sophisticated, unapologetically festive. Chrome finishes — silver, rose gold, or champagne — are perfect for modern minimalists.

Floss Beauty pick: Halo press-ons that give you that high-fashion metallic finish in minutes.

Insider tip: Almond or coffin shapes make chrome nails look extra polished.


3. Ruby Wine: The Rich-Girl Red

This season, deep, velvety reds like oxblood and burgundy feel luxurious and dramatic without overdoing it. Add a single gold accent nail for a subtle nod to Diwali glitz.

Floss Beauty pick: Wine nails nail this look — pun intended.

Pair with: Bold lehengas, classic sarees, or velvet separates.


4. Pink Luxe: The Desi Barbie Effect

From milky rose tones to candy chrome, this look is playful yet polished. Perfect for day pujas or evening parties.

Floss Beauty pick: Barbie designs capture this effortlessly festive vibe.

Think: Elle Woods meets Bollywood festive glamour.


5. Jewel Tones: Because Your Nails Deserve to Shine Too

Emerald, sapphire, and amethyst — rich, luxurious hues that make your hands look instantly elegant. Mix matte and glossy finishes for extra impact.

Floss Beauty pick: Sage — nails that literally sparkle like jewels.

Pair with: Traditional and contemporary festive outfits alike.


6. Subtle Sparkle: Minimalism with a Festive Twist

Whisper-quiet luxe: sheer bases with micro-glitter, gold half-moons, or delicate rhinestone accents. Perfect for understated elegance.
