The mainstream beauty calendar ends at New Year's Eve. Ours starts in October. Here is the season, and how to plan each event backwards so nothing arrives late. Lunar dates drift each year; we re-verify them every cycle before our kits go live.
The dates ahead: Karva Chauth falls on 29 October 2026. Diwali follows on 8 November 2026. Shaadi season runs roughly October to March. Eid al-Fitr lands around 10 March 2027 and Eid al-Adha around 16 May 2027, both subject to the moon.
Two weeks out: order anything that ships. Nails, lashes, and skincare top-ups should be in hand with margin, which is why our kits open two to four weeks before each event, not two days. Start the tone serum now; skin rewards two weeks of consistency more than any single product the night before.
One week out: confirm your henna or mehndi appointment. Patch-test anything new; an event week is the wrong week for surprises. Check your press-on sizes against the chart and set the box somewhere safe.
Two days out: hands. Shape and hydrate your own nails, oil the cuticles, and if you are wearing mehndi, remember press-ons apply after the stain has developed.
The day: press-ons go on last, after the shower and before the jewellery. Thirty seconds of firm pressure per nail buys you the whole night.
After: remove with warm water and oil, never by ripping. Store the set; hand-finished nails are built for more than one event.
