The night sky at its most discreet. Star Whisper washes the hand in sheer peach dusk and salts it with the smallest silver stars the atelier can set — some barely a millimetre across, placed where a glance lands last. Offered in four shapes, it is celestial jewellery for people who prefer to be discovered rather than noticed.

Shape — Squoval
Size — MSizing guide
Hand-crafted
in small batches
Cruelty-free
Designed to wear
again & again

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

  • Peach Dusk — four tips · A wash sheer to translucency
  • Silver Salt — four tips · Miniature stars scattered to be found rather than seen, set under magnification and sealed twice
  • Held-Hand Star — two tips · The smallest stars of the set, placed where only a held hand reveals them

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
  • Instruction guide
Detail of the Star Whisper set

The Story

Stars, at
speaking distance

Most star designs shout; the sky itself does not. Star Whisper began with a rule — nothing on the nail may be visible from across a room — and everything followed from it. The peach base is sheer to translucency, the tone of dusk ten minutes after a good sunset, and the stars are sized to be found rather than seen.

Placement follows what the artisans call the second-glance principle: a first look reads bare warmth; the stars arrive only at conversation distance, and the smallest only when a hand is held. Each star is set with wax tweezers under magnification and sealed twice, because jewellery this quiet cannot afford a single loss. It is the set most often bought again, in another shape, by the same women.

Let them come close enough to deserve the stars.

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 Star 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 Star 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 Star 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 Star 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.

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