3D Embossed and Textured Nail Art
I pioneered this emboss gel technique to add real dimension to your nails. From raised lace and florals to delicate swirls, these designs give your manicure a sculpture-like feel that you can actually touch.
A look back at some of my first emboss gel designs from 2023. It's amazing to see how this technique has evolved and become so popular.

About this collection
Unlike standard flat polish, this 3D emboss gel technique is entirely tactile. Because I use a high-viscosity gel that holds its shape rather than leveling out, I can literally sculpt patterns like lace, petals, and swirls directly on your nail bed. It is not just a design you see; it is a texture you can actually feel.
When I brought this technique back to Mumbai after my training abroad, I wanted to offer something that stands out from typical flat nail art. The 3D effect works by carefully layering specialized gels that don't run or spread, allowing for raised, intricate details that are surprisingly durable.
Whether it is a subtle 3D white-on-white lace design for a wedding or a bold, colorful floral arrangement, the possibilities depend on what we can sculpt together. This style is quite popular for festivals like Diwali where you want your hands to be the focal point, but it works equally well as a statement piece for your daily look.
Maintenance is straightforward, but it does require some mindfulness. Because these designs are raised, I recommend avoiding rough scrubbing or harsh acetone directly on the embossed sections to keep them looking fresh. I treat every set as a custom piece of art—if you have a specific pattern in mind, like a detail from your outfit or a piece of jewelry you love, bring a photo. We can translate that into a custom embossed design that sits perfectly on your nail shape.
