Iwi Nails Palaka: Melemele

$25.00

Bright, joyful, and full of island energy, Iwi Nails Palaka Collection – Melemele captures the warmth of Hawaiʻi sunshine. “Melemele,” meaning yellow, reflects the golden hues found in blooming pua, radiant sunsets, and the vibrant spirit of the islands.

These semi-cured gel nail strips deliver a bold pop of color while honoring Hawaiʻi’s cultural roots and fashion legacy.
