The first week of the turn. Maple Whisper warms ten tips in maple sugar and oat glitter, then presses real-looking green leaves and slender stems beneath the gloss — foliage caught the moment before it changes colour. Quiet, wearable, and unmistakably autumn.

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

  • Maple Sugar — four tips · A warm syrup glaze mixed under the courtyard maple, deepening rimward the way sap deepens in the leaf
  • Oat Glitter — three tips · Two grades of pale glitter settled in successive pours so the sparkle recedes into depth rather than sitting on top
  • Pressed Leaf — three tips · Green leaves and slender stems laid into wet gel and flooded

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

Detail of the Maple Whisper set

The Story

The week before
the turn

Autumn sets usually arrive too late — all rust and bare branches. Maple Whisper is the week before: the sugar already in the leaf, the green still holding, everything about to happen. Our colourist mixed it standing under the courtyard maple with a jar of sap syrup for reference, which is a sentence we are aware sounds invented.

The leaves are the delicate part. Each is cut and laid into wet gel with tweezers, then flooded and cured so it appears suspended rather than stuck — pressed botany, not decal. Between them, oat glitter is settled in two grades so the sparkle recedes into depth, and a pearl is bedded low where a stem would meet the branch.

Wear the season a week early; it suits you better.

The Craft

Pressed, flooded,
suspended

Leaves laid into wet gel and flooded so they float rather than sit; oat glitter settled in two grades for real depth.

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 Maple Whisper 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 Maple Whisper 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 Maple Whisper 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 Maple Whisper 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.

Maple Whisper 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 Maple Whisper are cruelty-free. For full material information, contact Client Care.
