The most sophisticated set we make. Silk Mirage polishes ten tips to greige silk chrome — the colour of shadow on satin — then veils two in the finest fishnet the atelier can draw, frames them in gold, and beds pearls at the seam. Neutral from a distance; couture at conversation range.

again & again

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

  • Silk Greige — four tips · Mixed to the tone of shadow inside a fold of oyster satin
  • Fishnet Veil — three tips · A diagonal mesh drawn at under a millimetre per cell, practised on glass for a season before it is permitted on a set
  • Gold Frame — three tips · Frames laid to contain the veil, with pearls bedded at the seam

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

The Story

Shadow
on satin

Greige is the colour most brands get wrong: pull it warm and it becomes beige, pull it cool and it becomes grey, and either way it stops being interesting. Ours is mixed to the exact tone of the shadow inside a fold of oyster satin — which means it changes character depending on what is around it, and never twice the same in a photograph.

The fishnet is the hardest linework we do: a diagonal mesh drawn at under a millimetre per cell, over a curved surface, with no room for a wobble. Artisans practise it on glass for a season before it is permitted on a set. Gold frames are then laid to contain the veil — a mesh without an edge, we learned, reads as damage rather than as lace.

Mix greige to a shadow, not to a colour.

Three tips

A diagonal mesh drawn at under a millimetre per cell, practised on glass for a season before it is permitted on a set.

iii.

Gold Frame

Three tips

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 Silk Mirage 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 Silk Mirage 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 Silk Mirage 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 Silk Mirage 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.

Silk Mirage 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 Silk Mirage are cruelty-free. For full material information, contact Client Care.
