About Holiday & Seasonal Designs
I don’t believe in using pre-made stickers for your festive sets. Whether you bring a Pinterest inspo picture or just tell me, "Riya, tu kar le manage" (Riya, you handle it), I hand-paint every detail—from intricate Christmas snowflakes to complex layered tortoiseshell art—so your manicure is genuinely one-of-a-kind.
My studio in Sion is all about celebrating the season, whatever that looks like for you. When the calendar flips to December, my chair becomes a hub for holiday cheer. You'll find me hand-painting everything from gold bows and beaded trees for Christmas to subtle, deep jelly tones for autumn or bright, encapsulated dried flowers for those summer vibes.
Why Seasonal Sets Need Precision
Holiday art often requires layering. If you want a deep red tortoiseshell effect or a specific festive ombré, it takes time. I use high-quality gels and build them up to get that perfect, translucent depth that stickers just can't mimic.
Designing for Your Event
- Diwali & Festive: I love working with rich reds, metallic chromes, and 3D embellishments that stand out when you're holding a diya or wearing bangles.
- Christmas & Winter: Expect lots of glitter, hand-drawn snowflakes, and those cute bow designs that everyone keeps requesting.
- Summer & Spring: I switch to lighter, airy designs, using encapsulated real flowers or fresh, minimalist palettes.
The 'Nail Therapy' Approach
Nail art is meant to be fun, not stressful. If you have a last-minute festive party and need a quick fix, reach out. I'm usually the person who says 'yes' even when I'm swamped because I know how much a fresh set of nails can change your mood. Just remember that custom hand-painted art takes a bit more time than a solid colour, so we should chat about your design ideas before you come in.
The Glitter Story
I’m Riya, and I’ve turned my little studio in Sion into a space for nail therapy. When I’m not hand-painting tiny snowflakes or festive bows, I’m probably chatting with my regulars about life over chai. I’m always ready for a new challenge, even if it’s a last-minute holiday design request.
