Two skies, one hand. Stellar Glaze pulls a bronze cat-eye seam through warm chrome, then sets ice-blue crescent moons and sculpted five-point stars against it — cold light on a warm ground. It is the atelier’s favourite contradiction: metal that behaves like dusk, ornament that behaves like frost.

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

  • Bronze Seam — four tips · Chrome magnetised while liquid so a band of low light crosses the tip as the hand turns
  • Ice Moon — three tips · Pale blue crescents sculpted in gel and cured proud of the surface, deliberately colder than everything beneath them
  • Set Star — three tips · Five-point stars cut, placed and burnished flush, with a single crystal at the point where the light concentrates

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 Stellar Glaze set

The Story

Warm metal,
cold moon

The idea came from an old photograph of a bronze observatory dome at twilight — the metal still holding the day’s heat while the first moon rose over it, blue and unbothered. Reproducing that meant refusing to match temperatures: the base had to stay warm bronze, and the ornament had to stay glacial. Most colourists will tell you not to do this. They are usually right.

The bronze is magnetised while liquid so a seam of light lies buried in the lacquer and travels as your hand turns. The moons are sculpted in pale blue gel and cured proud of the surface, then the stars are cut, set and burnished so their points sit flush. Held still, the set is metal; moved, it is a night sky.

Keep the metal warm and the moon cold — the argument is the design.

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 Stellar Glaze 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 Stellar Glaze 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 Stellar Glaze 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 Stellar Glaze 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.

Stellar Glaze 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 Stellar Glaze are cruelty-free. For full material information, contact Client Care.
