About Vacation & Beach Vibes
Since beach vacations involve saltwater, sunscreen, and sand, your nails need to be tougher than a standard manicure. I seal these tropical sets with a double layer of high-shine top coat to prevent dulling or chipping, and I use jewelry-grade resin for any 3D elements like shells or starfish so they don't snag on your swimwear.
Why Vacation Nails Need Extra Love
Vacation nails hit different when they match the scenery, but they also face a lot of wear and tear. Constant exposure to chlorine and salt water can soften standard polish. That is why for my beach-themed sets, I rely on salon-grade builder gel and BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) to create a strong foundation that survives the entire trip.
My Tropical Technique
When you want that authentic vacation aesthetic, it is all in the detail. I hand-paint every palm tree, wave, and sunset using fine-liner brushes rather than relying on mass-produced stickers. For the ocean-themed sets, I love using marble techniques to mimic crashing waves. If you want something extra, I can sculpt 3D sea creatures or add metallic gold accents to catch the sunlight while you are poolside.
Getting You Ready
Whether you need a set that lasts through a week-long trip or just want a quick holiday mood, I offer a few ways to get started:
- Custom Press-Ons: Perfect if you are short on time or flying in from outside Mumbai. They are reusable, easy to pack, and custom-sized to your nail bed.
- Extended Wear Gels: For those who want their manicure to survive the entire trip without a single chip.
- Matchy-Matchy: I can create cohesive mani-pedi sets so your look is perfect from head to toe.
Don't stress about the logistics. Whether you are coming into my studio in Worli or Dadar, or need a set shipped to your vacation destination, I make sure your nails are travel-proof.
