Your vibe, your story, painted on your nails. From cricket motifs to travel memories, I bring your wildest ideas to life with hand-painted precision.

A full look at the custom Switzerland-themed nails. This video shows all the different hand-painted details, from the mountain range and pine trees to the airplane flight path.

This client wanted to capture all the best parts of her Swiss trip. I painted cute cows, chocolate candies, and bold stripes to bring her delicious memories to her fingertips.

Is it hand-painted or a sticker? It's all hand-painted. This video shows off a super fun and quirky set featuring smiley faces, avocados, cherries, and cow print.

This was such a sweet request. A mom wanted to surprise her son for his birthday with cricket-themed nails, so I painted a bat, ball, and his jersey number.

For the ultimate ocean lover. This detailed set features everything from crabs and turtles to starfish and bubbly waves, creating a vibrant underwater scene across the nails.

A tribute to all the coffee lovers out there. This client wanted her love for coffee on her nails, so I painted a tiny coffee cup and coffee beans on a shimmery nude base.

Ready for game night. This playful set features the four card suits, hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades, each carefully painted on a short, square nail.

About this collection

Forget mass-produced stickers, everything you see here is hand-painted with precision gel polish. When you send me a reference—whether it is a childhood hobby, a specific travel memory like Switzerland, or a birthday theme—I map it out to fit your specific nail shape, length, and personal aesthetic. It is not just about a design; it is about making your fingertips tell your story.

Every custom set begins with a chat about what makes you, you. I take your inspiration—be it a favorite movie character, a vacation vibe, or a specific color palette—and turn it into wearable art.

How the Custom Process Works

Unlike standard salon designs, these are built for you.

  1. Consultation: You send your ideas, reference images, and confirm your nail sizing using my easy measurement guide.
  2. Design: I sketch out the composition for your specific nail beds, whether you prefer almond, coffin, stiletto, or square shapes.
  3. Execution: Using professional-grade gel polish, I hand-paint every detail, from tiny coffee cups to intricate mountain silhouettes.
  4. Packaging: You receive your custom set in my signature naiLIT® collector's box, complete with a professional application kit.

Why Choose Custom?

You aren't restricted to what is on the shelf. If you have a specific event—like a cricket-themed birthday bash or a wedding—I ensure the art fits the theme perfectly. Because I use durable, flexible gel tips, these sets are designed to last while looking completely natural. Whether you need an extra-long set for a photoshoot or a short, practical set for daily wear, I adjust the techniques to ensure the art holds up.

I operate out of my studio in Santacruz West, Mumbai, and offer delivery across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region for all custom sets. If you want a manicure that literally no one else has, let's chat.
