Holi, the vibrant festival of colors, is just around the corner on March 4. Across India, preparations are in full swing with markets brimming with vibrant powders and homes filled with the aroma of festive sweets. While everyone loves diving into the fun, those stubborn chemical colors often leave lasting stains on nails, causing many to hesitate.
Don’t let stained nails dampen your spirits this Holi. If you cherish your manicure as much as the celebrations, simple precautions can keep your nails pristine. Start by applying a bold nail polish before stepping out. The thick layer acts as a shield, preventing colors from seeping into your nails.
For those skipping colored polish, a clear top coat works wonders too. It creates a protective barrier that repels gulal and paints effortlessly. Long nails are particularly vulnerable, so trim them slightly beforehand and seal with one or two coats of polish.
Enhance protection by slathering on moisturizer or natural oils like mustard or coconut oil on your skin and nails. These form an additional layer against harsh colors. Post-Holi, a quick polish remover swipe reveals your nails unscathed.
This year, play Holi fearlessly. Share the joy without worrying about cleanup hassles. With these tips, your nails stay beautiful, letting you focus on the laughter and colors of the festival.
