The Masque of the Red Death
Every design is created in-house by Handora nail artists and hand-painted to order — never mass produced. Each set passes a multi-point quality check before it ships, so it arrives looking like you just left the salon chair.
Your set arrives with the full application kit and a step-by-step card — prep tools, glue and sticky tabs included. No appointment, no dry time. You're done before your coffee gets cold.
Applied with the included glue — or UV gel adhesive for the longest hold — your set stays put through 4 to 8 weeks of everyday wear. Just here for one night? Use the sticky tabs and take them off whenever you like.
These aren't one-and-done. Remove them gently, keep them in their case, and wear the same set for the next occasion — build a collection you rotate the way you rotate your earrings.
Built on premium soft-gel tips that flex with your natural nail — no bulk, no pressure points, no sore fingertips. Our paints and UV gels are free from HEMA and other harsh chemicals, so they stay gentle on sensitive skin.
