This allows me to adjust the scale and detail to perfectly fit your natural nails. Whether it is an intricate landscape or a specific character, the focus is on precise brushwork that captures your idea. My process for hand-painted art starts with a solid foundation. I perform a Russian manicure to clean and shape your nails, providing a perfect, smooth canvas for the artwork. Once the prep is done, I use professional-grade paints and brushes to recreate your chosen theme. Because I paint each detail by hand at my studio in Santacruz West, we can tweak colors or elements during the process to ensure you love the final look. I have painted everything from local cultural symbols to specific travel memories like Swiss landscapes and coffee themes. If you have an idea, I can adapt it to your nail length, whether you prefer short, natural nails or longer extensions. Keep in mind that complex sets require more time than standard gel polish applications. I recommend sharing your inspiration photos with me when you book so I can estimate the time needed for your session. This ensures I have plenty of time to get every detail right for you. ## About Avni Gala I am Avni, and I live for the challenge of painting your imagination onto your nails. Whether you want a cricket theme for a birthday or a tiny recreation of your vacation, I treat every set as a fresh canvas. Let us get creative and make your fingertips the talk of the town.
