From Haldi to Reception: The Only Wedding Nail Guide You’ll Actually Need

You know how wedding season hits and suddenly you’re attending five functions, wearing ten outfits, and somehow still forgetting about your nails until the last minute?
Same. Every. Year.

But honestly, nails can make such a difference, especially with all the close-up mehendi pics, ring selfies, diya-holding photos, and those random candid shots where your hands are just… there.

So this time, we’re doing things properly.
Think: nails that match your fits, look good in every lighting situation, and take exactly two minutes to put on because Floss Beauty press-ons exist and we’re not living in the dark ages anymore.

Whether you’re going all-out glam or keeping it soft-girl cute, here’s your chill-girl guide to picking the perfect wedding-season nails — straight from the Floss catalogue.

(Prepare to feel very put together.)

1. Haldi Sunshine: Soft, Warm, and Sweet

Haldi is sunlight, turmeric, laughter, and chaos. Your nails should be the calm in the middle of it.

Go for buttery yellows, mellow nudes, or pearlescent sheers that feel fresh and glowy.

Floss pick: Lemonade, the prettiest “soft girl sunshine” shade
Style it with: Dewy skin, marigold jewellery, and your cutest smile

2. Mehendi Greens: Earthy But Make It Elegant

Mehendi looks hit differently when your nails match the vibe without overpowering the henna.

Soft jade. Muted emerald. Sage. Think forest fairy meets desi chic.

Floss pick: Sage, the perfect green that’s classy, sweet, and so flattering
Style it with: Lots of bangles and those “here’s my mehendi” hand poses

3. Sangeet Sparkle: Let the Lights Catch You

This is your disco-ball moment. Glossy chrome, champagne shimmer, blush-metallic magic. Sangeet nights were made for reflective nails.

Floss pick: Muse for that soft glowy gleam or Halo for full-reflect glam

Style tip: Almond nails plus chrome equals main character energy

4. Bridal Reds (For Everyone, Honestly)

Deep reds, wine tones, and romantic ruby shades are back. They are softer, cooler, and extremely photogenic.

Floss pick: Wine Nails, rich, velvety, and instantly “put together”
Style it with: Gold jewellery and your favourite pout

5. Day Wedding Pastels: Soft Glam Heaven

Pastel nails are basically a love letter to sunny weddings. Blush pinks, milky whites, glazed neutrals. They look fresh, dreamy, and timeless.

Floss pick: Wifey, think glazed donut nails but wedding-season cute
Perfect for: Floral lehengas and minimal jewellery

6. Cocktail Night Chic: Dark, Glossy, Effortlessly Hot

Cocktail nights are where you bring out your mysterious, glossy, high-fashion side.

Plum cat-eye, soft black shimmer, deep berry. Elegant but with a little edge.

Floss pick: Serena, moody, shiny, and very “I’m THAT girl tonight”
Style it with: A slip dress and your best highlighter moment

7. Modern French: Sweet, Soft, and Oh-So-Pretty

French nails are having their romantic era. Think blush gradients, chrome tips, pearly edges. The subtle prettiness looks good on everyone.

Floss pick: Bloom, the perfect nude-to-berry ombré that feels delicate but elevated
Pairs with: Bridesmaid fits, satin sarees, and soft curls

8. Pearl Whites: Clean, Cute, and Angelic

Pearly whites and soft opal tones are the wedding-season darlings of 2025. Simple, elegant, with a hint of magic.

Floss pick: Pearl, glossy, pearly, ultra-chic
Style it with: Pastel lehengas and dainty silver details

Bonus: Pretty Toes Matter, Okay

There will be a moment your heels come off. Maybe at mehendi, maybe during dandiya, maybe during that one cousin’s emotional speech.

Floss pick: Solemates, cute, matching, and fuss-free
Perfect for: Anklets, juttis, and barefoot dancing
