Pricing Guide
Gel or Acrylic Extensions with Solid Colour
Consultation & Shape
Selection of length (Short, Medium, Long) and shape (Almond, Coffin, Square, Oval) to suit your fingers.
Preparation
Dry manicure using electronic filing to remove dead cuticle skin and buffing of the natural nail plate to prevent lifting.
Application
Application of plastic tips or paper forms followed by your choice of Acrylic (durable) or Hard Gel (flexible) material. Hand filing is done to ensure a crisp geometric shape.
Finishing
Application of base coat, two coats of solid gel colour (from 300+ available shades), non-wipe top coat, and cuticle oil hydration.
Extensions with Trendy Art (French, Chrome or Ombré)
Base Structure
Includes all steps from the basic package: dry manicure prep, extension application (Acrylic/Gel), and shaping.
Art Selection (Choose One)
- French: Classic white or coloured tips painted with precision brushes.
- Chrome: Metallic powder rub (Gold, Silver, Pearl, Rose Gold) over base colour for a mirror effect.
- Ombré: Gradient fade typically from nude to white or colour to colour using sponge techniques.
- Cat Eye: Magnetic gel polish manipulated to create a moving velvet shimmer effect.
Bridal Couture & Heavy 3D Artistry
VIP Consultation
Detailed discussion to match nail undertones and design concepts to specific wedding outfits. Preferential use of sculpted extensions for a slimmer, natural look.
Advanced Artistry
- 3D Sculpting: Hand-made acrylic flowers, bows, or textured knit patterns.
- Stone Work: Strategic placement of rhinestones, crystals, or pearls ranging from cuticle cuffs to full coverage.
- Encapsulation: Dried flowers or glitter embedded inside the acrylic or gel layers for depth.
Protection
Double top-coat or builder gel sealing around stones to ensure they do not snag on fabrics.
Natural Nail Strengthening (BIAB Overlay)
Assessment & Prep
Evaluation of natural nail integrity followed by deep cuticle cleaning to expose the nail plate.
Overlay Application
Application of self-leveling Builder Gel (BIAB) or Hard Gel directly onto the natural nail length. No plastic tips or forms are used.
Structure Building
Creation of an Apex (curve) with the gel to reinforce the stress point of the nail and prevent snapping.
Finish
Gel polish colour application over the strengthened overlay.
About Nail Extensions & Enhancements
Nail Therapy, My Way
For me, nails are pure therapy. Whether you need a mood boost or just want to treat yourself, I make sure you leave with nails that actually make you happy. My chair is your safe space - chat, vent, or just chill in silence, whatever works for you.
Extensions or Overlays? Let’s Keep It Simple
- Want instant length? I do acrylic nail extensions (super strong), gel extensions (lightweight, natural look), and polygel (the best mix of both).
- Prefer growing your own nails? Builder gel overlays (BIAB) are my go-to for strong, healthy natural nails. I’ve seen crazy good growth with these.
Designs for Every Mood
- 300+ colors, so you’ll never get bored.
- You can come with a Pinterest inspo or just say, “Tujhe jo karna hai wo kar” (do whatever you want) - I love both!
- Most popular: Not-so-basic French, chrome nail art, all that bling, 3D nail designs, and hand-painted details.
- I’m always up for a challenge, even if you show me a wild design last minute. Sometimes I just can’t say no (nahi bol payi).
Special Moments & Everyday Glam
- Bridal nail enhancements are my jam - think 3D florals, ombré, initials, or gold accents.
- Festive nails for Diwali, Christmas, Karwa Chauth, Halloween - bring on the glitter!
Refills & Nail Care
Extensions and overlays need regular refills as your nails grow. Most of my clients stick around for months - it’s a little commitment, but totally worth it for nails that stay fab.

My Story
Hi, I'm Riya, and The Glitter Story is pretty much my second home. Been doing nails for 10+ years - 5,000 clients, loads of crazy stories. My studio? It's nail therapy, not just nail art. Sometimes people spill secrets over chai, sometimes they come with wild budgets for all-bling nails. Even when Sundays get packed and everyone's running late, my regulars stick around. That support means everything. Bass nahi bol payi! (I just couldn't say no!)
My Work
All Types of Nail Services - Acrylic, gel, polygel, fake nails, and custom press on nails - I do it all.
Appointment Only - Please book your slot ahead, walk-ins are tough when it's a full house.
Nail Therapy Experience - It's more than nails, it's fun, laughs, and sometimes life talk over chai.
Real and Honest Service - Some days are chaos, but I always try to make your bling nail designs happen, even if I'm stressed.
