I once spent five full hours on a single Radha-Krishna portrait set—not because I had to, but because the detailing demanded it. That same intensity is what I bring to your doorstep, whether we are doing a quick gel set or a complex 3D masterpiece. Starting my own nail business wasn't just a career move; it was my dream—my *sapna*. When you see me in these photos, you are seeing someone who is genuinely obsessed with the process. From participating in HBS India competitions to setting up my stall at K.J. Somaiya college, I am always learning and trying to get better. ### My Home Service Approach Navi Mumbai, I am coming to you! I realized that going to a salon can be a hassle, so I decided to bring the studio experience to your home in Kharghar, Panvel, or Vashi. I carry my own setup, including the UV/LED lamp and sanitized tools. You don't need to step out or worry about traffic. ### The Process I treat every set like a canvas. Whether you want soft gel extensions, intricate hand-painted portraits, or press-on nails that actually fit, I focus on the details. I do a proper dry Russian manicure for every client to make sure the base is clean and healthy. If you have bitten nails or need short extensions, don't stress—I love working with all nail types. ### Let's Create I love it when clients bring Pinterest screenshots or vague ideas. We can freestyle or stick to a plan. My goal is to make sure your nails are as aesthetic as they are durable. If you are ready for a fresh set, just ping me! ## About Nails by Simi I'm Simi, the proud malkin of this nail business.
