The Global Muse: Heritage-inspired nail art

Our nail art is heritage at your fingertips. Whether it is capturingthe intricate geometry of jali (lattice) work or the fluid grace of floral vines, every stroke in our Atelier mimics the traditional cone-pressure technique, celebrating a ritual that has graced celebrations for over five thousand years. Mexico's Talavera folk art with their crisp cobalt blues inspire us to recreate the high gloss, hand painted floral medallion that once adored the grandest hacienda of Puebla. Coming back to India, we rediscover Phulkari or flower work that adorn dense embroidery patterns and translate it into precious mini canvases for your cultural muse and expression. Coming from the land of the art of the earth myself, Madhubani art gives inspiration in lotus, bird, fish motifs. This symbolic Mithila folk art creates another gateway to Khokhloma gold patterns of Eastern European Slavic art. 

The women who hustles everyday leaves behind culture for corporate. My goal and mission is to bring back our rich cultural heritages no matter where we are from. Heritage at our fingertips.
