It might be autumn and the flowers might not be blooming right now, but you can sure add that floral power to your nails with this super cute nail art design. It’s minimalist and detailed and we’re totally diggin’ for this style for this month. You can keep your base nail colour as nude or some pretty pastel hue and then draw tiny flowers all over it, before adding some stone gems to finish the style.
3. A little Halloween spook

Halloween might not be big in India, but that doesn’t mean we can’t add a little spooky touch to our nails for this celebration. We’re especially in love with this nail art idea - all thanks to the mix of nude shades, swirly ghost and bat designs and the gorgeous golden sparkles. It is a perfect fall and halloween mix on your tips - all puns intended!
4. Pretty swirls

Yup, the swirl design isn’t leaving us behind in October either. A big nail trend in 2021, the pretty swirls are what you need on your nails this month to put your best nail game forward. Go for dark colours like gray, chocolate brown or blue to draw swirls on your nails. You can create thick and bold waves on your nails or be more precise and opt for thin ones - it all works beautifully!
5. A dose of colour

If you aren’t one to stay subtle and sombre with your nail designs, then fret not, we got something for you too! Try out these colourful swirly designs this October to add a little oomph to your nails. The idea is to choose popping colours like mint green, pink and blue for the base of your nails and draw swirls all over them with darker hues.
