Do you enjoy the rain? What’s the point of merely looking at it from your window? We’d advise you to wear your heart on your sleeve, but in this instance, your nails should do the trick! Using rain as inspiration for their nail art is a great trend that is all about keeping things cool right now. While the outfit really brightens up the gloomy weather, we believe it will be something you would want to show off on your Zoom call as well…
‘Aqua nails are currently all the rage.’
The phrase “Got the blues?” has a definition in this context since blue is a dominating color in current fashion trends. “Monsoon nail art is really trendy right now, and aqua nails are all the rage right now,” says Komal Sahani, a hair and nail specialist located in Andheri, Mumbai. People are interested in the aqua look, which is created by putting water droplets into the nail layers and sealing the whole thing with a gel finish. Due to the fact that rainbows represent hope and happiness, tiny rainbow designs are in high demand as well.
The uses of zig-zag lightning on simple nails or radium or bright yellow bolts on grey nails look great with white clothes and provides an edgy twist. French tips with an umbrella motif in white or pink, which are particularly popular right now, will give you a beautiful, modest appearance. Use matte nail polish in a medium-toned blue to do your nails at home if you want to keep it simple and inexpensive. Once it has dried, dab a few droplets of transparent nail paint on top and allow it to dry so that it appears to be rain.”
What people have tried and what they think is good
There are a plethora of designs to choose from here. Pranali Khande, an aviation executive who just had her nails done in monsoon nail art, has agreed to share hers. She explains, “I’m a fan of rainfall, so I wanted to incorporate the look into my nails this time around because there isn’t much traveling during the rainy season.” My goal was to create a design that represented the season without being too gloomy, so I opted for clouds and rainbows on a blue nail polish background since I adore how the sky looks at this time of the year. I posted the look on social media, and it received a lot of positive feedback. It does require a lot of upkeep, so I have to be careful when conducting household chores.”
The bubble art was chosen by Beena Chablani, a homemaker after she learned about it on social media. “I thought that was really cool and decided to go ahead and do it. It has a monsoon motif to it, and them appears as though the nails have rainwater bubbles flowing around in it. A simple bubble appearance or a glossy one are all options, and I opted to go with shimmer to liven things up, so my color combination is green and white.”
