The story behind
Red Cheek
Red Cheek is inspired by Japanese cheek nails, known in Japan as チークネイル (chiiku neiru): a soft, airbrushed blush of color that fades out toward the edges, like blush on a cheek. Emi builds the gradient in sheer red jelly gel so light passes through it.
Fine glitter adds a glow, and a crisp red micro-French edge defines each coffin tip. It's festive without being loud, perfect for Valentine's Day, the holidays, or a red-lip night out.

About Red Cheek
Still wondering? Email hello@niconails.com or message Emi on Instagram at @nico.pressons.
What are Japanese blush (cheek) nails?
Cheek nails, or チークネイル, are a Japanese nail trend where a soft gradient of color is blended into the center of a sheer nail, so it looks naturally flushed, like blush on a cheek.
What are jelly nails?
Jelly nails use a sheer, tinted gel that lets light shine through, giving a glossy, see-through finish like colored glass or jelly candy.
What is a coffin nail shape?
Coffin, also called ballerina, has sides that taper toward a straight, flat tip. It looks bold and modern, especially at medium to long lengths.
Can I get this design in another shape or length?
Yes. Choose Customize under Shape and Emi will paint Red Cheek 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.
