My Journey in Nails
Every nail set I create tells a story. Here is a look at the art that defined my path in building Bellissimo, from our early experiments to the signature styles we love today.
Last year, hundreds of nails, and an obsession with every detail. This picture, with the city lights behind, reminds me of how far this dream has come. Bellissimo isn't just a place, it's a reflection of dedication.
This picture is everything. My client's beautiful nails against the Mumbai sunset. It’s moments like these that I cherish, blending my love for this city with my passion for nail art.
Another one from that magical sunset session. The way the glitter on her nails catches the last light of day is just perfect. This is why I do what I do.
I love this abstract silver set. It represents the artistic freedom I always wanted to foster at the studio. It's not just about trends, it's about creating wearable art.
This textured "sweater nail" set was so much fun to create. It reminds me that the possibilities in nail art are endless, and I'm so proud of my team for always pushing their skills.
A simple thumbs-up, but it means the world. Seeing a client happy with a unique, artistic set that we created together is the best feeling.
This mixed-media set is one of my favorites. It shows the creativity and skill of my team, combining different techniques into one cohesive, stunning look.
I have a soft spot for delicate, dreamy designs like this. It proves that beauty can be quiet and understated.
This design is so chic. It’s a perfect example of how we can create something modern and sophisticated that still has a touch of sparkle.
A classic red nail is pure power. It's a look I'll always love, and seeing it executed so perfectly on a client makes me proud.
About My Journey in Nails
At Bellissimo, we prioritize a dry manicure technique during prep, which dehydrates the nail plate slightly for better adhesion. This specific step is why our gel extensions typically last our clients 30 to 40 days without lifting or chipping. If you are tired of nails that barely survive a week, this is the difference that matters.
Building Bellissimo hasn't just been about business; it has been about proving that local studios in Mumbai can hit that perfect balance between high-end artistry and lasting quality. When I started, I saw too many people settling for manicures that looked good on day one but failed by day three.
This cluster is a walk down memory lane, featuring the sets that pushed my team and me to grow. We focus on structural integrity using poly-gel and hard gel, which allows us to create shapes—like stiletto, almond, or coffin—that stay robust even when you are busy with day-to-day life in the city.
Whether it is the precision required for a clean French tip or the creative chaos of 3D charms and hand-painted abstracts, we approach every set the same way. We treat the nail as a canvas, but one that needs to survive everything from keyboard typing to travel. That is why we never cut corners on hygiene or the curing process. My goal is for you to walk out of our studio in Khar or Worli with a set that feels like a personal accessory rather than just a salon service. Take a look through these designs and let me know which style speaks to you.
