About The Glow-Up: Nail Transformations
I don’t believe in quick fixes, so expect a detailed Russian manicure prep before any extensions or BIAB go on. Whether you are a chronic nail biter or just looking for a reset, I spend extra time re-buffing and refining the cuticle area to ensure your natural nail health stays a priority under that fresh coat of polish.
Growing out bitten nails or fixing a rough set isn't just about covering up with acrylic. It's about giving your nail plate a break to breathe while adding the strength you need to stop picking. If you've been hiding your hands, you're not alone. I’ve worked with plenty of clients who started right where you are.
My approach at my Lower Parel studio is simple: Brand banana hai, maggie nahi. I take the time to do it right. We start with a dry e-file Russian manicure, which is the gold standard for clean, healthy cuticles. Then, depending on your goal, we either use BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) for natural growth or sculpted gel extensions if you want immediate length.
Why go TPO-free? Because beauty shouldn't hurt. A lot of mass-market products are harsh, but I use TPO-free gels to make sure your skin stays happy, even if you’re sensitive. I also guide you through the process, from picking the right shape to deciding between rubber bases or hard gels, so you walk out feeling like you own the place.
Think of this as a safe space. I know drills can be intimidating, but I’m super gentle, and we take breaks whenever you need. Whether you're coming in for a transformation or a regular refill, the goal is always the same—strong, healthy, and aesthetic nails that actually last.

I’m Zill, and I started this journey on my study table because I wanted to prove that nails can look stunning without sacrificing your health. I’m a bit of an introvert, so I’ve created a super chill home studio vibe where you can just relax and get your transformation done without any judgment.
