Festive Nail Art Ideas for Durga Puja in Kolkata

Durga Puja is Kolkata's biggest festival — five days of pandal hopping, new clothes, and photographs that will be shared and saved for years. Your nails deserve the same attention as your outfit. Here are the nail art ideas Dream Nails clients love most for Puja.

Red and Gold: The Puja Classic

Red is the colour of Durga Puja in Kolkata — and red nails with gold foil accents remain the most requested Puja nail at Dream Nails every year. Deep crimson gel polish with a gold chrome accent nail, or red base with hand-painted gold geometric patterns — classic and always right for the occasion.

Colour by Day: Switching Through the Five Days

Many Dream Nails clients book a multi-look set — base gel extensions finished with neutral or nude polish, then add daily accent nail changes. Chrome powder, glitter, and cat eye add-ons can refresh your look each day of Puja without a full new appointment.

Outfit-Matched Nail Art for Each Day

Yellow saree with mustard-and-gold ombré nails on Panchami. Red saree with red-and-gold cat eye on Shashti. White and red with French tips and red foil on Saptami. Green saree with emerald chrome on Ashtami. Orange or coral with holographic chrome on Navami.
