Fruit and metal, in the same warmth. Golden Apricot polishes ten tips to apricot copper chrome, then bands two of them with sculpted gold arcs that stand proud of the surface — real relief, not a printed line — and pins the rest with single crystals. Jewellery for the hand that already wears jewellery.

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

  • Apricot Chrome — four tips · Copper warmed with rose and buffed by hand, holding the soft blush of fruit skin rather than the flash of lacquered metal
  • Gold Bangle — three tips · A band built in three cured passes and burnished on its crown so light runs along it like a wire
  • Set Stone — three tips · Single crystals bedded where the chrome is polished brightest, so the stone and the reflection agree

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
  • 10 sheets of jelly gel adhesive tabs
  • Manicure stick & nail file
  • 2 alcohol wipe pads

Detail of the Golden Apricot set

The Story

A band that
stands up

A flat gold line on a nail is a stripe. A gold band raised above it is a bangle. That single millimetre of relief was the whole brief for Golden Apricot, and it is the hardest millimetre in the atelier: the band must be built in three passes, cured between each, and burnished on its crown so the light runs along it like a wire.

The apricot beneath is copper chrome warmed with rose, buffed rather than sprayed, so it holds the soft blush of fruit skin instead of the hard flash of automotive lacquer. Where a band crosses, the chrome is polished slightly brighter — the eye reads it as reflected light from the metal, which is exactly what the metal would do.

A flat line is a stripe. A raised one is a bangle.

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 Golden Apricot 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 Golden Apricot 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 Golden Apricot 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 Golden Apricot 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.

Golden Apricot 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 Golden Apricot are cruelty-free. For full material information, contact Client Care.
