Turquoise Crest Short Almond Press-On Nails | MUOI

Turquoise Crest replaces the straight line of a French tip with a wave. The turquoise rolls up over the nude base in a curl with a white crest on top, different on every nail. Two carry a deeply carved shell in turquoise, ridged from a single point. Two more are sculpted flowers in translucent turquoise with a stone at the centre, and the remaining nails are scattered or banked with clear and smoke-grey stones.

QUICK FACTS
Shape: Short almond
Base: Nude pink with turquoise wave tips
Carved work: Deeply ridged turquoise shells
Flowers: Sculpted translucent turquoise petals with stone centres
Stones: Clear and smoke-grey, banked at the cuticle or scattered
Build: At least five hand-applied layers of soft gel
Made: To your own nail measurements

KEY BENEFITS
A curling tip with a white crest reads as water rather than as a painted edge, and it curls differently on each nail.
The turquoise is translucent at the crest and solid at the tip, so the colour deepens toward the end of the nail.
Banking the stones in an arc at the cuticle rather than scattering them makes a short nail look longer.
Translucent flower petals let the nude base show through, so the flowers sit in the set instead of on top of it.
Carved shell ridges fan from one point, which draws the eye down the nail and works with the short length rather than against it.

This shape sits with our Short Nails collection, and the rest of the French-style tips are in French Tip Nails.

WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone who wants a French tip that is not a straight white line.
Wearers who like turquoise and want it used as water rather than as a block colour.
Think twice if you need a clean, classic French - this one is deliberately irregular.

MATERIAL DETAILS
At least five hand-applied layers of soft gel. Each wave is drawn and shaped individually, the shells are carved into part-set gel, and the flowers are sculpted in translucent gel before the stones are set.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Apply to clean, dry nails. Keep out of long hot soaks and wear gloves for cleaning. Remove with cuticle oil and warm water, lifting from the side - never pry, and never use acetone. Store flat so the carved ridges and stone banks stay intact.

SIZE & FIT
Short almond, made to order to your own nail measurements. Send them at checkout; the Find Your Size guide covers how to measure.

FAQ
Is this a French tip?
In spirit. The tip is a curling wave rather than a straight smile line, so it reads softer and less formal.

Do the waves match on both hands?
No. Each one is shaped by hand and settles differently, which is the point of the design.

Are the stones secure at the cuticle?
Yes - the cuticle end takes far fewer knocks than the tip, which is why they are banked there.
