The French Manicure, Reimagined
Think you know the classic French? Let's switch it up. I’m trading plain white tips for bold colors, gold lines, and patterns that actually match your vibe.

About The French Manicure, Reimagined
Unlike standard salons that use stickers or decals, every French tip here is hand-painted. Whether we’re doing a micro-thin cobalt line or a funfetti finish, it is done with fine liner brushes. This lets me adjust the curve, thickness, and placement to perfectly flatter your specific nail shape.
The French manicure is iconic, but sometimes it needs a little personality. I have moved past the standard pink-and-white to offer designs that feel fresh, whether you are heading to a wedding in Worli or just need a Tuesday pick-me-up.
We use salon-grade painting gels, not cheap acrylic paints that crack. For my signature gold-lined looks, I use a high-pigment metallic gel that does not tarnish after a few days. If you want that 'clean girl' aesthetic, we start with a classic base. If you are feeling edgy, we can do V-tips or even add hand-drawn evil eye motifs. Everything is cured under high-intensity UV lamps, so that crisp line stays sharp for weeks. It is all about giving you a style that lasts, looks clean, and feels like you.
