About My Toolkit: Products & Swatches
People often ask me what I use to get that buttery, creamy finish on my extensions. Honestly, it is not just about the skill, it is the chemistry. I only keep TPO-free products in my kit because beauty should never hurt your nail health. From the high pigment of Vena Lisa gels to the color-shift magic of Iglido powders, I only use tools I would trust on my own hands.
I started out on a tiny study table, and the struggle to find safe, reliable products was real. That is why I am so picky about what goes into my studio kit. When you see those satisfying, smooth swipes in my videos, that is exactly the quality I deliver.
My toolkit is not just about having the prettiest colors, though I definitely have a problem with buying new polishes. It is about the science of a manicure that actually lasts. Proper prep is non-negotiable here. I use lint-free wipes and Russian-style E-file techniques because a clean base is the secret to preventing lifting.
Whether it is mastering that mesmerizing cat-eye magnetic effect or applying fine-line chrome, every accessory I show here—from my rhinestones to my foils—serves a specific purpose for durability. I share these exact recommendations with my students in Lower Parel because if you are starting your own brand, you need to know exactly what is in your kit. No gatekeeping here, just the essentials for that aesthetic vibe we all love.
