About

Nail, plus ishq.

Ishq means love — the all-consuming kind. NAILISHQ by Sahithi Reddy is a nail studio built on that idea: gel only, made by hand, with as much attention on the tenth nail as the first.

Matte cobalt-blue almond nails with white-and-blue swirl art and a crystal accent

Gel, and only gel.

NAILISHQ works exclusively in gel — extensions, overlays and colour — with no acrylic and no regular polish. Manicures and pedicures are done dry.

From a single glossy colour to ten hand-painted characters, every set is made to order. The menu covers extensions, gel polish, overlays, nail art, cat's eye, ombré, bridal nails and toes, at studios in Banjara Hills and Gachibowli.
