Intricate Hand-Painted & Thematic Nail Art
Your nails are my canvas. From traditional Marathi motifs to festive themes, I hand-paint stories on every set.
Getting into the festive spirit with these Christmas nails. I recreated this cute design with snowflakes, bows, and Santa hats on my client's natural nails, showing the inspiration right next to my work.

In this video, I share my process for creating 3D modak nail art for Ganesh Chaturthi. Using carving gel, I sculpted Bappa's favorite sweet to celebrate the festival. Ganpati Bappa Morya!
For Rakshabandhan, I created this special 3D Rakhi nail art. I used carving gel to create a beautiful flower rakhi design. If you want to learn techniques like this, ask me about my nail art courses.
I love taking on new nail art challenges. In this video, I talk about creating unique festive designs like the hand-painted Shri Krishna and the 3D Rakhi for Rakshabandhan.

As a devotee of Swami Samarth, I was inspired to create this nail art. I hand-painted his silhouette against a yellow and orange ombré background with the words 'Shri Swami Samarth'.
For my Gudi Padwa nail art series, I created this 'Chandrakor' design. The crescent moon is a beautiful symbol of our Marathi culture, and I painted it here in red on a yellow background with a touch of glitter.
This video from my Gudi Padwa series features a hand-painted 'Gudi'. I enjoy creating these traditional designs to celebrate our festivals. Wishing everyone a very Happy Gudi Padwa.
The 'Nath' is such an important part of Marathi tradition, so I had to include it in my Gudi Padwa series. Here, I've hand-painted a beautiful, traditional nose ring with floral details.
About Intricate Hand-Painted & Thematic Art
When you bring a theme, whether it is a traditional Nath, a festive Gudi Padwa motif, or a custom request, I do not just apply polish. I hand-paint every detail to match your vision, even on short or bitten nails. If you have an idea that seems impossible, let us chat. I love a creative challenge as much as I love a perfectly finished set.
I treat every set of nails like a blank canvas. Whether you want a specific festive design like Ganpati or Christmas, or a cultural symbol like a Mangalsutra or Nauvari Saree, I work to bring it to life on your nails.
Why Hand-Painting Matters
Most salons rely on stickers or simple prints, but hand-painting allows for true customization. I enjoy the process of mixing gels to get the exact shades I need, like the specific yellow for a Gudi or the gold for a Mangalsutra design. It is not just about the art, it is about the emotion and the occasion it represents.
My Process
- Consultation: You bring an idea, a vibe, or a reference picture. We discuss what will work best for your nail shape.
- Preparation: I focus on prep, using quality base products, because art is only as good as the canvas it sits on.
- Execution: I use fine brushes and carving gel for 3D elements to ensure the final result has texture, depth, and personality.
Handling Challenges
Don't worry if your nails are short or bitten. My goal is to make sure you walk out of my Worli studio feeling happy. We can add extensions if you need length, or work directly on your natural nails if you prefer. My priority is to ensure the art is durable and detailed. If you are looking for something that is uniquely yours and not found in any standard catalog, I am ready to try it.
