Featured Nail Art & Custom Press-On Designs
A peek into my 'nail therapy' studio. These are my favorite, most detailed hand-painted designs and the custom press-on sets I create for clients across Mumbai.
This is the kind of intricate bridal nail art I love to create. This custom press-on set features delicate 3D gold leaf patterns and tiny pearl details on a shimmery nude base, designed to perfectly complement a bride's wedding look.
Ever wondered what comes in your press-on nail kit? Here’s a little ASMR of me packing a gorgeous blue cat-eye set with a gold border. Each reusable set comes with adhesive tabs and a prep kit for easy application at home.
A close-up of one of my favorite bridal sets, designed to match the client's henna. This look combines gold chrome, chunky glitter, and iridescent crystals for a truly show-stopping effect on her special day.
This is how easy it is to get amazing nails in just five minutes at home. My custom press-on nails are perfect for when you have a last-minute plan or just want a quick glam-up without the salon appointment.
I had a real pinch-me moment when Hindustan Times featured my work. It’s an incredible feeling to see my passion for turning something like a broken jhumka into unique nail art get recognized. I'm so grateful for this journey.
A client sent me this, and honestly, it’s the biggest mood. Sometimes, a fresh set of custom nails is all you need. This hand-painted floral press-on set with gold accents is the perfect example of a fun, personalized design.
Here’s a quick look at how I hand-paint my designs. This little 3D ghost was for a Halloween-themed press-on set. I use fine brushes and dotting tools to bring even the smallest details to life on each nail.
From an empty space to my dream studio. This before-and-after shows the journey of creating The Glitter Story. It’s been a lot of hard work, but building this creative space for my clients and me has been so worth it.
About Featured
These aren't your typical mass-produced nails. Every set you see here was hand-painted by me in my Sion studio. Whether it is a bridal set with 3D gold leaf or a simple magnetic cat-eye, I personally size these based on your nail bed measurements so they actually fit your fingers without popping off.
I started The Glitter Story over 10 years ago because I realized nails are not just about looking pretty. It is about how they make you feel. Sometimes you need a distraction, sometimes you need a celebration, and sometimes you just need to vent over chai while I paint your nails.
Why my press-on nails are different
Most ready-to-wear sets you buy online are flimsy and one-size-fits-all. Mine are built differently. I use high-quality gel polish, reinforced with a hard gel top coat. They are durable, reusable, and designed to last. When you order from this collection, we start with a conversation about your vibe. You send me your measurements, we chat about the design, and I paint them right here.
What you can expect
- Real Customization: I cannot say no to a challenge. If you saw a complex 3D flower design on Pinterest or want a specific chrome finish to match your outfit, I will make it happen.
- The 'Salon-at-Home' Kit: Every order comes with a prep kit. You get high-strength jelly adhesive tabs, a buffer, and a stick. It is a full nail salon experience in a box.
- No Damage: Unlike traditional acrylic extensions that require heavy filing on your natural nails, my press-ons are non-damaging. You can pop them on for a weekend wedding and take them off safely when you are back at work on Monday.
Whether you are based in Matunga, Dadar, or anywhere else in Mumbai, I can ship these to you. If you are nearby, come visit the studio in Sion for a full gel manicure or set of extensions. Just reach out, share your ideas, and let's get your nails sorted.
