3) Keep Nails Short
Consider keeping your nails short during Holi to minimize the surface area exposed to color pigments. Shorter nails are also less likely to chip or break during the festivities.
4) Wear Gloves
If you’re concerned about protecting your nail art, wearing gloves while playing with Holi colors can be a practical solution. Opt for disposable plastic gloves or reusable waterproof gloves to shield your hands and nails.
