uka Nail Oil 18:30 is a cuticle and nail treatment oil - a slim glass roll-on blended with rose, geranium, orange, and jasmine to work on two levels at once: deep hydration for the nail bed, and a quiet aromatic reset for the end of the day.
Each oil in uka's lineup is named for a time of day rather than a benefit - a distinctly Japanese approach to care, grounded in rhythm and daily ritual. 18:30 is after-work: the exhale, the shift, the moment the day stops asking things of you. The scent reflects this precisely - rose and geranium carry a gentle femininity without weight, orange adds brightness, jasmine provides the soft punctuation.
The base of sweet almond, argan, jojoba, and wheat germ oil absorbs quickly and nourishes without greasiness. Multi-use by design: roll it onto the cuticles, the neck, the shoulders - wherever you need the reminder that the evening is yours.
Ecocert certified. Made in France. From a Tokyo salon that turned a nail ritual into a philosophy.

THE BRAND
In Japan, beauty isn't performed — it's practiced. uka began as a small Tokyo salon and built a philosophy around it: care as daily ritual, rooted in sensitivity and attentiveness to the smallest gestures. Each product in the lineup is designed for a real moment in a real day — morning, afternoon, evening, night — named with quiet precision. From Tokyo to the world, uka creates tools and treatments that restore balance without ceremony.
