Iwi Nails Palaka: Nahele

$20.00

Rooted in heritage and inspired by Hawaiʻi’s lush landscapes, Iwi Nails Palaka Collection – Nahele celebrates the deep greens of the islands. “Nahele,” meaning forest or woodland, evokes the beauty of Hawaiʻi’s native groves and the profound connection between people and ʻāina. Part of the Palaka Collection—a nod to the iconic plantation-era fabric that evolved into a symbol of local pride and style—this rich green hue blends tradition, culture, and modern fashion in one ʻāina-ful manicure.

These semi-cured gel nail strips deliver vibrant color with long-lasting wear, honoring Hawaiʻi’s past while embracing contemporary island style.
