The atelier
Made by hand, one set at a time
Every set is built by hand, nail by nail, and checked before it goes in the box. A set can take up to an hour, and the most detailed ones take even longer.
Shape
Ten tips per set
Each tip is filed and shaped to its outline, so all ten nails in the set match and sit naturally on the hand.
Color
Coat by coat
Gel color, cat-eye and chrome are brushed on in thin layers, and every layer is cured under UV light before the next goes on.
Detail
The longest step
Crystals, pearls, charms and chains are placed one at a time with tweezers and set in gel. On the statement sets, this is where most of the hour goes.
Seal
High shine
A glossy top coat locks every stone in place and gives each nail its finish, so the set holds up through two full wears.
Inspect and box
Nail by nail
Every nail is checked by hand, then all ten are laid out in the box with the adhesive, ready to wear.
Anatomy of a set
Rose Quartz
Every detail on a Ten Karat set is placed by hand. Tap a point to see what makes Rose Quartz the statement of the Blush collection.
Chosen by Eniko
Ten Karat began with one simple idea: your hands should feel as dressed as the rest of you. Every set in the collection is chosen by our founder, Eniko, and is one she would wear herself.
Eniko, founder
The ritual
Ten minutes, no salon, and nothing on your nails but what you chose.
Measure
Lay a ruler across each natural nail and match it to our size guide. Every set comes in XS to L.
Press
Prep your nails, apply the adhesive, and press each piece for thirty seconds. Everything you need is in the box.
Wear
Up to two weeks per wear. Remove gently, keep them in the box, and wear them a second time. One set, about a month of wear.
Why Ten Karat
Real gold is stamped 10K. Every one of our sets has ten nails. That's where the name comes from.
That little stamp inside a gold ring is how you know it's real. We hold every set to the same idea: made by hand, checked nail by nail, and finished like a piece of jewelry.
- 10Nails in every set
- 1Hour of handwork per set
- 2Wears from every set
