With the monsoon cuing humid, dreary days, it’s needless to say that our sartorial choices need to be smarter, makeup needs to be waterproof and skincare needs to be regular. But no one said that we can’t play around with a bit of colour to beat the gloom. Ahead, we round up five mood-lifting nail art designs that you can take to your manicurists, stat.
Butterfingers, but literally
If a bright mani is not your go-to choice, these butter yellow tips will add just a hint of colour to your look. Go for a delicate nail art design, like these bumblebees, in the white space when you’re feeling creative.

Pool party
A poolside sojourn may not be possible when it’s pouring outside, but your fingertips don’t have to be in the know. Just apply a solid white coat and layer it with some blotches of blue to bring the bright side of the monsoon in.

So what if the rains have put a damper on our plans? So what if our mascara has to be waterproof? So what if our baggy pants can’t make it out of the closet? We can all dream of sunnier days. And these hand painted sunflowers are sure to add a spring to your step, even on the gloomiest days.
