It refers to these kinds of parts used in Indian jewelry*
The art of placing these small concho pieces on the nails is what we call concho nails♡

In the last few years, nuance nails and moody nails have been trending.
Not long ago, silver and turquoise Indian accessories were often described as "surfer-like" or "gal-like," but now they have been modernized as concho nails, giving them a different impression.

It’s a perfect nail art for those who love bohemian or surf styles♡
