Gel Nail Strips - Palaka (Pastel Guava)

These Gel Nail Strips - Palaka (Pastel Guava) from Iwi Nails are available at Pop-Up Mākeke. Though palaka has roots in the colonial plantation history of Hawaii.

Palaka is now a classic mainstay of style and fashion in Hawaii. Though not as bright as juicy guava, the Guava collection is a pastel version of those fruity hues. With shades of mauve and pale pink, it’s sure to bring to mind ʻono and juicy guava.

These are the perfect addition to any girl’s night in. You can give yourself or your friends a salon-style manicure right in the comfort of your own home! And it’s incredibly easy as well! You can easily give yourself a salon-style manicure at home in 30 minutes!

The nail strip set includes a nail filer, a cuticle pusher, Iwi Nail Prep Pad (alcohol wipes), and nail strips. When the nails are applied and correctly cured, they can last for at least three weeks and beyond. They are also easy to remove, so you can switch up the designs as often as you’d like.

To remove the nails, there are no harsh chemicals or grinding required! Just take the wooden burnisher, wet it, or drop cuticle oil on your cuticles. Then you use the burnisher side to slide the water or oil under the nail, and the glue will start to dissolve. Do not rip them off, as this could damage your nail beds.

This would also make a great addition to any nail care/salon gift basket. It is the perfect way to get at-home nails that you or your loved ones will love all around – from the process to the end result.

Application Instructions:

1. Buff your nails with the nail filer before cleaning.
2. Clean your nails really well with the alcohol wipe (any dirt or oil will prevent nails from sticking).
3. Apply the strips and burnish with the little wooden stick included. Rub out any air bubbles and make sure there are no lifted edges.
4. Cure for the full 60 seconds. (There is a built-in timer in the lamp).
5. A top coat helps, but you should get wear even without it.
