Hand-Painted Swirls and Baroque Nail Art
I combine delicate baroque patterns with metallic foils to create nail art that feels truly luxurious. Every swirl is hand-painted, meaning no two sets are exactly alike.

About this collection
When I create these baroque swirls, getting the consistency right is everything. I often mix different gels myself to get that specific flow and thickness, which is why these designs have that distinct, raised texture you won't get with standard stickers or pre-made art.
My obsession with swirls, baroque patterns, and metallic foils comes from a desire to do something different in the Indian nail art scene. After learning these techniques abroad, I realized that many standard products just don't have the right pigment density or stability for the level of detail I like to achieve.
The Technique Behind the Art
Whether I am working on a set of acrylic extensions or natural nails, the process is intentional. The baroque style requires a steady hand and a deep understanding of fluid art. I layer metallic foils over a matte or glossy base to create that signature depth. For those who love texture, I often incorporate a sand technique, which adds a sugary, tactile finish to the swirls that you can actually feel on your fingertips.
Why Custom Matters
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all nails. When you come to my studio in Vashi, we look at your natural nail shape and decide which swirl pattern complements your hands best. If you have a specific color palette in mind—like deep burgundy with gold or neon contrasts—we can customize the foils and background shades to match your style.
Learning These Designs
Because I receive so many questions about how I achieve these looks, I have integrated these techniques into my training courses. I teach my students exactly how to mix their own gels, hold the brush to get those clean, sweeping lines, and place foils so they don't chip. If you are a nail artist looking to add baroque and swirl designs to your own portfolio, I walk you through the entire process in my hands-on workshops.
