I use a waterless 'Russian-style' technique to clean your cuticles and dehydrate the nail plate, which keeps these subtle shades looking pristine and chip-free for up to three weeks. Whether you are heading to a board meeting or a brunch date, these clean, minimalist sets are designed to fit perfectly into your daily life. I specialize in high-gloss gel manicures that stay smooth and shiny without the need for constant maintenance. If you have short or bitten nails, we start with a proper cuticle health session before applying the color, giving your hands an immediate transformation. From soft milky pinks and classic French tips to subtle ombré gradients that blend seamlessly, I focus on precision work. I can set this up at my studio in Borivali West or bring my full sanitization kit to your home anywhere in Mumbai. You get the same professional finish, zero travel hassle, and that fresh-mani confidence every single time. ## About The Nail Guru I'm The Nail Guru. I started out in my Borivali studio, and now I'm bringing that same luxe, sanitized salon vibe directly to your home. My philosophy is simple: your nails should make you feel like the main character, even when the design is subtle.
