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.

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.

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

Pair with: Soft, shiny, neutral outfits — let your nails do the talking.
8. Blush to Berry Gradient
For a modern, understated look, try short almond nails with a soft nude base that gently transitions to a delicate reddish tip. It’s subtle yet sophisticated — the kind of manicure that elevates any outfit without stealing the spotlight.
Floss Beauty pick: Bloom, perfect for festive hands that want a little drama with a lot of elegance.
Pairs well with: Pastel outfits, floral prints, or neutrals for an effortlessly polished Diwali vibe.
