Udaipur: Rajasthan is famous across the world for its rich miniature art and traditional designs, but now this art is getting a new and attractive form. Traditional painting and miniature art is no longer limited to paper or clothes, but is being decorated on nails. Nowadays, while the craze of nail art and nail extensions is continuously increasing, the artists of Rajasthan are creating a unique fusion by combining this modern trend with their tradition.
A miniature artist from Udaipur told that making traditional Rajasthani designs on nails is a very challenging task. In this work, ordinary brushes are not used, but very thin and special brushes made of squirrel hair are used. The specialty of these brushes is that very fine lines can be made in a single stroke. That is why elephants, camels, horses, Rajasthani men and women, folk dances and traditional figures appear very beautiful and lifelike on the nails.
nail art machine made
The artist says that these designs are completely made by hand and machines are used only 20 to 30 percent of the time. Generally nail art is prepared by machine, but in this miniature based art the entire focus is on the detail and control of the hand. Carving a traditional painting on a nail requires a lot of time, patience and deep concentration from the artist.
created for the first time
Tourists remain mesmerized after seeing this unique art. Foreign tourists even appreciate it by calling it a modern form of Rajasthani art. Many tourists make miniature nail art specially to make it a souvenir of their trip. This art not only looks attractive, but also remains exactly the same for 10 to 15 days as if it was created for the first time.
