A finished set of handmade press-on nails, worn
Our story

Made by hand

Press-on nails were either obviously plastic, or they never quite fit. So we started making them the slow way instead: by hand, one set at a time, in Islamabad.

The process

Nothing is made before you order it

There is no shelf of finished sets waiting for someone to buy them. Yours is shaped, painted and cured after you order it, which is why it takes a few days and why it fits your hands rather than an average of everyone's.

In the studio

Packed by the same hands that made it

Cured, checked, boxed and wrapped at one table. The prep kit, the stickers and the note in your box were put there by someone, not by a machine.

Dozens of finished sets on Nailbar cards, waiting to be packed
  • Sets sealed and ribboned inside their boxes, ready to close
  • Stickers and a handwritten note going into each box
  • Wrapped sets stacked and ready to be posted
  • Finished sets laid out together, burgundy through to gold
  • A set laid out with its prep kit at home
  • The packing table, with thank-you cards and stickers

A set that fits is the whole difference between wearing them once and wearing them all week.

What we stand for

High quality

Layered and cured properly, so a set keeps its gloss and its shape instead of lifting on the second day.

Handmade

Shaped and painted by hand, one set at a time. Nothing is stamped out, and no two sets are quite identical.

Attention to detail

Your size comes from your own measurements, or from your own photographs. Never from an average.

Customer satisfaction

If it is not right when it arrives, tell us. We would rather make it again than leave you with a set you never wear.

A note from our founder

It started at my own table, making sets for friends who could never find their size. That part has not really changed. Your set is still made by hand, for your hands.
