Yes, you read it right; real feathers on nails! Pammi Lall, Director, Bio Sculpture India, explains the procedure, just to clear the confusions that might be running in your head. The feathers used for this nail art are sterilized on reception so there is no chance of any infection being caused. "The feathers are treated and cleaned well, that is our top priority," says Pammi. Once you are through with that, a base colour is applied to your nails. The feather is then placed on your nails and sealed with gel that is cured under the LED lamp for 30 seconds. "There is absolutely no use of glue to keep the feather in place but only gels as the health of the nail is important," she adds.
