Retro Romance
Every set is painted by hand in our studio, never mass produced. We check each nail before it ships, so it looks fresh from the salon when it arrives.
With the glue in the box, your set stays on for 2 to 4 weeks of everyday wear. Only need them for one night? Use the sticky tabs and take them off anytime.
Our soft gel tips bend with your nail, so they feel light and never pinch. They come off without harsh filing or soaking, and our paints contain no HEMA.
Everything you need is in the box: prep tools, glue, sticky tabs and an easy guide card. No salon visit and no drying time.
Take them off gently, keep them in the case, and wear the same set again for your next event.
Emily in Paris Meets Valentine's Day: The Chicest Set of 2026
Not every Valentine's look needs to be pink and soft. For the fashion-forward girl who loves a bold lip and a vintage vibe, we present Retro Romance. This eclectic, mix-and-match set combines the timeless elegance of French tips with the playful energy of polka dots. It’s "Coquette" with an edge—perfect for a Galentine's brunch or a romantic dinner in the city.
The Design: A Parisian Love Affair
This set features a curated mix of designs that look like a custom salon manicure:
The Polka Dot Play: We’ve remixed the classic dot pattern in two bold ways. The thumb features a crisp White base with Red dots for a pop of brightness, while the middle finger flips the script with a dramatic Black base and White dots—giving major retro 1950s/60s vibes.
Modern French Tips: The index and pinky fingers keep it classy with a deep Red French Tip on a nude base. It’s the "Little Black Dress" of nail art—always sophisticated.
The Coquette Detail: The ring finger is the star of the show, featuring a specialized French tip adorned with red dots and tied together with a delicate, hand-painted Black Ribbon Bow. It perfectly captures the viral "Coquette" aesthetic dominating TikTok, adding a sweet, feminine touch to the bold color palette.
The Shape: Classic Almond
Sculpted in a medium Almond shape, this silhouette elongates the fingers and provides a sophisticated canvas that prevents the bold patterns from looking overwhelming. It’s sleek, manageable, and universally flattering.
Vibe Check: Bold & Playful
This set is for the "Cool Girl." She doesn't do clichés. She wears red lipstick, loves vintage fashion, and wants her nails to be a conversation starter. The high-contrast Black, White, and Red palette stands out in a sea of pastels, signaling confidence and style.

How to Apply
- Size: pick a nail for each finger that covers your nail edge to edge, just above the cuticle.
- Prep: push back cuticles, lightly buff, then wipe each nail with the alcohol pad.
- Glue: add a thin layer to your nail and a small drop inside the press on.
- Press: place it near the cuticle, press down and hold firmly for 10 to 20 seconds.
- Stick: peel an adhesive tab and smooth it onto your nail with no air bubbles.
- Press: remove the top film, press the nail on and hold for 10 to 20 seconds.
Remove according to the adhesive you used. Never pull or force a nail off.
- Adhesive tabs: soak in warm soapy water with a little oil for 10–15 minutes, then gently loosen the edges. Repeat if needed.
- Nail glue: use Magic Remover as directed on its label; allow 5–10 minutes and gently loosen. Repeat if the nail is still attached. Water alone may not release cured glue.
Acetone may affect the finish and reuse of the set. For reusable removal, follow the remover instructions. Stop if removal is painful.
