The sea at its most electric. Coral Aurora pulls magenta aurora chrome across coral pearl, then draws liquid lines through it in hot rose — a current running under the surface — and pins the set with fine gold beads and a single drawn hoop. Loud, luminous, and impossible to photograph badly.

Each set of ten is composed as a single gesture across the hand:

  • Magenta Aurora — four tips · Chrome buffed in one direction to build a grain, so the shine moves like weather rather than sitting like varnish
  • Liquid Coral — three tips · Raised lines drawn against the grain in thickened gel
  • Gold Bead — three tips · Fine beads and a single closed hoop set where the current turns, finishing the line rather than decorating it

Sculpted from premium soft-gel resin — light on the nail, resilient at the edge — and finished with a triple-milled, high-gloss gel top coat cured in three passes for a lacquered, glass-like depth. Pigments and coatings are cruelty-free; metallic accents, leaf and ornament are applied entirely by hand and sealed beneath the final coat.

  • 10 hand-crafted tips, arranged by finger in a crystal presentation case

Detail of the Coral Aurora set

The Story

A current,
drawn on purpose

Aurora pigments are usually treated as a finish — brushed over and left alone. Our artisans treat them as weather. On Coral Aurora the chrome is buffed in one direction to make a grain, then the liquid coral is drawn against that grain, so the line appears to run beneath the shine rather than on top of it. Photographs never quite capture it; hands always do.

The line work is done in a thickened gel that keeps a raised edge — you can feel it under a fingertip — and every stroke is drawn in one pass, because a corrected line reads as a mistake at this scale. The hoop on one tip is closed by hand at the last moment; a hoop drawn open, the atelier decided, looks like an accident rather than a decision.

Treat the shine as weather, not as varnish.

Returns & Exchanges

We would rather you love your set than keep it out of politeness.

  • 30-day returns — items must be unused, unopened, and in their original packaging
  • Exchanges — unused items in their original condition may be exchanged within 30 days, subject to availability
  • Refunds — issued to the original payment method within 7–10 business days after the returned item is received; shipping fees are non-refundable
  • Damaged, defective, or incorrect? — notify us within 7 days with photos for a free replacement or full refund

To begin a return, email Support@manikira.com with your order number and reason for return. Once approved, return instructions and a shipping label will be provided.

Used or damaged items, custom or personalized nails, and gift cards are non-returnable. Customers cover exchange return shipping unless the item was defective or incorrect.

With the brush-on adhesive and careful preparation, each application can last up to fourteen days. With fresh jelly gel tabs, each application typically lasts three to five days. After gentle removal, clean away any adhesive residue and return Coral Aurora to its coffret — the set is designed to be worn again and again. The protective gel top coat helps preserve the hand-crafted finish between wears.

Measure the widest point of your thumbnail in millimetres — choose S for 8–15 mm, M for 10–17 mm, or L for 12–21 mm. Between two sizes, choose the smaller. The Sizing guide beside the size selector shows this as a chart. If your measurement falls outside these ranges, contact Client Care before ordering. Because exchanges require items to remain unused and in their original condition, please confirm your measurements before opening the set.

Yes. The soft-gel resin used for Coral Aurora files beautifully. Shape the free edge with the nail file in one direction only, before application. We suggest leaving the cuticle edge untouched, as it is contoured to sit flush against the skin.

When applied and removed as directed, the tabs and glue used with Coral Aurora should not damage your natural nails. Soak, ease from the side and never pry; careful application and gentle removal help protect the natural nail surface, wear after wear.

Because it should. Every Coral Aurora set is crafted by hand by a single artisan — the drift of the pigment, the depth of the glaze and the placement of each crafted detail are unique to your coffret. The photographs show one interpretation; yours is another. This is the nature, and the point, of the work.

Coral Aurora is carefully packed to arrive in pristine condition. Physical items may be exchanged within 30 days only when unused and in their original condition; gift cards are non-returnable.

The pigments and coatings used for Coral Aurora are cruelty-free. For full material information, contact Client Care.
