Mélanie’s Halloween pickHow to apply your nails with gel pads
The studio
Made by hand, by a nail artist.
Behind every Aura is Mélanie Fuhrmann, a nail artist for ten years. She sculpts, paints and polishes every set by hand, nail by nail, in her Dubai studio.

Aprés Gel-X® tips, the ones salons use
The soft gel professional nail artists work with, imported from the USA. Thin at the edge, curved like a natural nail, it follows your shape and never yellows.
- 02
Professional colour gels, mirror finish
Aprés colour gels, the salon ones: full colour, a mirror lacquer. 96 shades on the colour chart.
- 03
Hand-painted, with a fine brush
Ten years of nail art, no moulds, no printing. Each set takes several hours: limited-edition designs, made to your measurements.

A case you keep
Designed for Melaura, not taken off a shelf. Every part of the kit has its place, and it closes to keep your Auras safe between wears.
Made with Aprés Nail tips and gels (Gel-X®).
That’s what explains the price, and why you re-wear them instead of throwing them away.

A set for a premiere, a party, one single night.
A film you have been waiting for, a themed party, a Halloween. Tell Mélanie the idea and she paints the set that goes with it, to your measurements.
And you keep it. Press-on nails come off in one piece and go back in their box, so you keep them, one per occasion.
