Mahina Hilo is a soft nude base layered with a silvery cat-eye shimmer that shifts as you move — forming a delicate crescent along the nail. The effect mirrors the Hilo moon, the first visible crescent at the start of a new moon cycle. Subtle but striking, this set catches light quietly, never overpowering. A reminder that beginnings don’t have to be loud to be meaningful. Clean, luminous, and easy to wear — Mahina Hilo is for fresh starts, reset moments, and everyday shine.

I chose the name Iwi for this business because not only were these nails inspired by various iwi (shells, antlers[kiwi], coconut shells & more) but these nails also take on an iwi like quality when you cure them. Koʻu iwi, my bones, are both figuratively and literally at the core of who I am, as iwi are integral to many living things around us (even mea kanu, plants). The IWI Core Collection are our solids and plain colors. These ʻāina inspired colors will be restocked periodically, so you can count on these basics to be around!
