The Brand

About

ANARA press-on nails are made for Saudi Arabia. Every set is ten hand-finished reusable nails, five per hand, giving a salon result at home in about five minutes.

01

Why ANARA press-on nails are made this way

Every set in this shop is sculpted and finished by hand, one nail at a time, in batches small enough that a design can sell out and take weeks to return. That is a slower and more expensive way to make a press-on nail than pressing it from a mould, and it is a deliberate choice: it is the only way to get a flower that stands off the surface and a pearl that is set into it rather than stuck on top.

02

What we make

Twenty-six designs, each produced in a specific shape and length rather than one generic form: almond, square, squoval, oval and round, in short, medium and long. Every design comes in sizes XS, S and M, where size is the width across the nail bed. Sets are priced from 129 SAR.

03

Hand-finished, not printed

The flowers, bows, pearls and gold detailing on an ANARA set are sculpted and placed by hand, one nail at a time. That is why a raised 3D flower sits proud of the surface and a pearl is set into it rather than stuck on top. It is also why two sets of the same design are never identical to the millimetre, and why we make in small batches rather than in bulk.

Each set arrives in a rigid clear case with the ten nails held in place and labelled left and right, so it is ready to fit before any adhesive is opened. Stored in that case between wears, a set is reusable.

04

Why press-on nails

A salon appointment costs an afternoon. Gel and acrylic cost the surface of your natural nail. A press-on set costs five minutes, comes off without damage when you soak it properly, and goes back in its case for the next time. Wear time is decided by the adhesive rather than the nail: 3 to 5 days with adhesive tabs, up to 14 days with nail glue.

05

How we sell

Directly, from anaraco.com, across Saudi Arabia. Delivery is free on orders of 299 SAR and above and 25 SAR below that. We do not sell through marketplaces, which is why every set you receive comes from us and arrives in ANARA packaging.

06

Where to start

If this is your first set, read the size guide before you order — size is width, not length, and choosing wrong is the single most common reason a set has to be exchanged. The application guide covers the five minutes that follow, including the ten-second step most people skip.

07

Small batches, and what that costs us

Making by hand means we cannot make many. A design runs to a small batch, sells, and takes weeks to come back — which is inconvenient for us and occasionally frustrating for you. We have kept it that way because the alternative is a printed nail from a mould, and that is a different product sold by a great many people already.

08

What we do not do

We do not sell through marketplaces. Every set you receive comes from us, in ANARA packaging, and if something is wrong you are talking to the people who made it rather than to a platform. We do not publish review counts we have not earned, and you will not find star ratings on this site until real customers have left them.

09

The range, in numbers

Twenty-six designs. Five shapes — almond, square, squoval, oval and round. Three lengths — short, medium and long. Three sizes — XS, S and M, measured across the nail bed. Ten nails per set, five per hand. Priced from 129 SAR, delivered free anywhere in Saudi Arabia on orders over 299 SAR.

Where the sets are finished

Each design is finished by hand before it is packed, which is why the flowers stand off the surface and the pearls are set into it rather than stuck on top. It is slow work and it caps how many of any one design exist at a time. When a set sells out it takes weeks rather than days to return, and we would rather say that plainly than quietly restock with something machine-pressed that looks similar in a photograph.

11

Reusable, and what that actually requires

A set is reusable if it is removed properly. Soaked off in warm water, lifted from the side with a wooden stick, wiped with alcohol and returned to its case, an ANARA set goes back on. Pulled off dry, it takes the top layer of your natural nail with it and neither the set nor the nail is worth much afterwards. That is why the removal instructions get as much space on this site as the application ones.
