About this collection
These sets are hand-sculpted, which means they require a bit more time than your standard gel polish. Because we build these textures—like delicate bows, pearls, or 3D flowers—directly onto your nails, it’s best to let us know your design ideas when you book. Think of this as wearable art that needs a little care, so avoid using your nails as tools to keep all those details intact.
When you step into the world of 3D and embellished nails, you’re moving away from flat color and into a custom aesthetic. Our artists at The Palette specialize in transforming standard nail plates into canvases for 3D art. We use high-quality builder gel to sculpt petals, abstract shapes, and textures that last.
The Process & Maintenance
- Customization: We love a good challenge. If you have a specific Pinterest look involving charms or chains, share it with us beforehand. This helps us ensure we have the right gems and materials ready at your chosen salon location—Church Street, Sadashivnagar, or Seshadripuram.
- Delicate Care: Because 3D elements like rhinestones and sculpted acrylic sit above the nail surface, they can be delicate. We recommend keeping them away from rough work to keep your set looking fresh.
- The Vibe: Whether it’s 'coquette' bows for a soft look or heavy gold charms for that edgy statement, these designs are all about self-expression.
We treat every set like a community project, so come in, bring your inspo, and let’s create something that matches your current mood.
