The animal, glowing. Tiger Glow draws ink-black stripes by hand over a french of amber ember glitter — each stripe tapered like a brushstroke in a scroll artwork — and seals the set with a single crystal, the golden eye. Feral at the edge, immaculate underneath.

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

  • Amber Ember — four tips · A glitter french banked in three grades of gold, burning brightest at the free edge
  • Tiger Ink — four tips · Stripes drawn as loaded strokes, heavy at entry, starved at exit
  • Golden Eye — two tips · A single warm crystal set off-centre, so the set notices you without watching

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 Tiger Glow set

The Story

Stripes from
the scroll tradition

The stripe is a calligraphic problem. In the East Asian scroll paintings the atelier studied, a tiger’s stripe is one loaded stroke: heavy at entry, starved at exit, curved by the body beneath it. Print flattens this; only a hand can taper it. Every stripe on Tiger Glow enters wet and leaves dry, exactly as the brush tradition demands.

Beneath the ink, the amber glitter french is built like banked embers — three grades of gold settled toward the free edge so the tip burns brightest where it meets the world. The golden eye, a single warm crystal, is set off-centre on one nail per hand; a centred eye, the artisans found, watches you, while an off-centre one merely notices you. The difference is the design.

Wear the animal awake, not caged.

Ember, ink,
and eye

Ten tips of a waking animal — banked amber embers, calligraphic stripes, and one golden eye that notices rather than watches.

Amber Ember

Four tips

A glitter french banked in three grades of gold, burning brightest at the free edge — heat, held in resin.

ii.

Tiger Ink

Four tips

Stripes drawn as loaded strokes, heavy at entry, starved at exit — the scroll tradition at twenty millimetres.

iii.

Golden Eye

Two tips

A single warm crystal set off-centre, so the set notices you without watching — the difference 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 Tiger Glow 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 Tiger Glow 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 Tiger Glow 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 Tiger Glow 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.

Tiger Glow 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 Tiger Glow are cruelty-free. For full material information, contact Client Care.
