Monsoon may not be everyone’s favourite season, but that doesn’t stop us from following the trends that the rainy season brings with it. After colouring the tips of our fingers with bright, neon and fun colours during summer, now is the season time to embrace some cool and calming colours.
Having said that, monsoon nail art doesn’t necessarily have to be gloomy and boring. So here are some interesting monsoon-inspired nail art designs that are apt for the rainy season.
01. Tiny rainbow

A tiny rainbow, cloud and little drops of rain — every element in this nail art screams monsoon. The nude background ties the colours so well; we can’t wait to get this painted on our nails. If you love intricate and simple looking designs, this ones perfect for you.

Can’t seem to give up on those bright summer colours yet? Well, guess what, you don’t have to! We’ve found the perfect nail art design for women who don’t like deep shades. This monsoon nail art is so simple that you don’t have to visit the salon to get it. Simply paint your nails using your favourite colour and place small drops of clear nail polish on top.
03. Lightning bolts

Another thing that we only experience during monsoon is thundering and lightning. If you love being creative with your nail art and always have an out of the box design on your nails, this one's for you! The best part is the combination of purple and yellow, which kind of reminds us of Monica’s iconic door.
04. Paint me blue

What’s a monsoon nail art without some blue colour in it? This beautiful and bright colour with little elements of monsoon is just the nail art design you need to uplift your spirits on a gloomy day. Bookmark this design for your next manicure appointment and you won’t be disappointed.
05. Umbrella nail art

Can’t decide between teeny-tiny umbrellas and raindrops? Go for both — because when it comes to nail art, we know you can pull off both without making it look OTT.
