Because these are hand-painted using 000-size brushes, I treat each set as a miniature canvas. When you book a portrait set, we’ll spend time finalizing the details, whether it’s a specific deity, a pet, or a movie character, ensuring the expression is just right before I even open my gel palette. If you want nails that tell a story, this is it. Portraits are my jam, and they require a completely different approach compared to standard gel sets. Because I work with 000-size brushes, every stroke needs to be precise. Whether you want a divine depiction of Radha Krishna for Janmashtami, a portrait of Maa Durga for Navratri, or even a fun pop-culture set like Guardians of the Galaxy, I approach each nail like a painting. The process starts with your vision. You share the photo, and I analyze the details to see how they will scale down to a nail-sized canvas. For bridal sets, I often add reinforced layers of builder gel (BIAB) to ensure these intricate designs have the durability of hard-gel extensions while remaining wearable. ### Why Choose Hand-Painted Portraits? - **True Customization:** It is not a generic print. It is hand-painted, meaning we can adjust the expression, colors, and background to fit your outfit. - **Memory Preservation:** These sets are reusable, so you can keep them as a keepsake long after your event is over. - **Themed Perfection:** From weddings to festivals, portraits add a level of detail that standard designs just cannot match. I am based in Kharghar and serve the broader Navi Mumbai area. Since these sets demand significant time—sometimes up to 24 hours of painting for complex pieces—I recommend reaching out at least two weeks before your event. ## About Nails by Simi Hey, I’m Simi! I don't just do nails; I get obsessed with them. There is something magical about shrinking a portrait onto a tiny nail, and I won't stop painting until the expression is perfect. It’s my absolute favorite part of the job.
