MĀORI NAIL FOILS & NAIL TRANSFER TATTOOS - TE PŌ - BLACK
This design was inspired by the whakapapa (origins) of Māori creation. Te Pō (the dark, the night) was the state of evolution between Te Kore (nothingness, potential) and Te Ao Mārama (life, light). This design captures the transition from Te Pō to Te Ao Mārama, as light (or base colour) is visible through parts of the darkness. Let this set remind you to trust that the darkness will always be followed by learning and light.
Professional Nail Foils include 1 sheet of 12 (37mm long) - see application instructions below.
Nail Transfer Tattoos include 2 sheets of 12 (37mm long) - see application instructions below.
Handmade with love in Aotearoa (New Zealand).
Designed by Lance from 818 Ink

Choose which product best suits your needs and application method.
Our Nail Transfer Tattoos are printed onto special transparent film using the latest print technology. This thin, flexible film is water activated, which enables it to wrap snugly over the nail surface for fast, easy nail art application. This product is designed for both professional use and DIY manicures using regular nail polish.
Our Nail Foils have been specifically designed for professional use. To achieve a flawless transfer, they require a UV cured gel layer to adhere to.
Nail foils are a product many nail technicians will already be familiar with. Our products work exactly the same way as regular nail foils.
