Application & removal

Apply, in about 15 minutes

Push back cuticles, lightly buff the shine off your natural nails, and wipe them with the prep pad.
Lay out the press-ons and match one to each finger. Between sizes? Choose the larger and file the sides.
Glue: a thin layer on your nail and on the press-on. Press down at an angle from the cuticle and hold for 30 seconds.
Tabs: stick a tab to your nail, peel the film, and press on. Best for a day or a weekend.
Skip hot water and lotion for the first hour.

Remove, gently

Soak fingertips in warm, soapy water with a little cuticle oil for 10 to 15 minutes.
Lift slowly from the side with the cuticle stick. Never pry or pull.
Buff off leftover glue and store the set in its case to wear again.

The story behind
Gilded River Stone

Gilded River Stone pairs two textures: glossy sage green with scattered gold foil flakes, and a matte, speckled cream that looks like river stone or a quail egg. On the cream nails, Emi sculpts raised gold lines and a gold band by hand.

The gold lines are inspired by kintsugi, the Japanese tradition of repairing pottery with gold so the cracks become the most beautiful part. Earthy, calm, and quietly luxe, it suits fall, weddings, and anyone who loves neutral, nature-inspired nails.

質問Questions

About Gilded River Stone

Still wondering? Email hello@niconails.com or message Emi on Instagram at @nico.pressons.

What are kintsugi nails?

Kintsugi nails borrow from the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Thin gold lines run across the nail like mended cracks, turning imperfection into the focal point.

Is sage green a good neutral nail color?

Yes. Muted sage reads almost neutral, flatters most skin tones, and pairs naturally with cream and gold for a soft, earthy look.

Is the cream finish matte or glossy?

The speckled cream nails are matte for a stone-like feel, while the sage green nails are high gloss, so the set plays two textures against each other.

Can I get this design in another shape or length?

Yes. Choose Customize under Shape and Emi will paint Gilded River Stone on almond, coffin, oval, or square tips in short, medium, or long, at no extra cost.

Will it fit my nails?

Every set is painted to your size: choose XS to L, enter your own measurements, or start with a $12 sizing kit in this shape. If a nail doesn't fit, Emi repaints it free.

How long does a set last?

About one to two weeks with nail glue, depending on your nails and how you use your hands. Adhesive tabs are gentler and great for a day or a weekend.

Can I wear them more than once?

Yes. Remove them gently, buff off the old glue, and store them in their case. With care, a set can be worn many times.
