Ka uʻi nō o Poliʻahu. Kea is inspired by the pure white snow that drapes over Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and sometimes Haleakalā. It's beauty is unparalleled and it brings to mind chilly winds and cool mauna air.

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!
