Her tails range from 120 euros to 400 euros.
They come as fabric tails, half silicone, and latex.

I recently looked at her page, and I don't quite understand how her half-siliconetails are constructed. What does she use as a base? Is there a monofin?
She has to different versions too, one she calls "Modèle moitié silicone" (Model silicone half) and the other is "Moitié silicone T" (Silicone half T), on her site it doesn't really state what the difference is, does anybody know?
By "modèle moitié silicone", she means that the fluke is made of silicone (with a monofin inside) while the rest of the tail is made of fabric.
Her "Nemo" design is really cute!
Oh, that's nice. Do you know if she has different monofins in them? In some pictures it looks like it is a Finis Foil, but in others the whole fluke looks rigid. :/
This looks like a Finis Foil (or the Trainer)
And this looks more like a custommade...

Okay, so I wrote to her on facebook, and it seems that her monofins are custommade, and the difference (that I understood) between Half-silicone and Silicone-T, is that
Half-silicone (as Arion said) has the fluke made of silicone and is painted with pigmented silicone (which makes it more expensive) and the Silicone-T is only clear silicone on top of fabric.
Here's the first Unboxing video with a tail from Aurore!
It's a latex tail (but the fluke is silicone)

I have thought latex cant mix with silicone? The video doesnt works.
I'm not sure how she does it, but the fluke is a monofin coated with fabric, and then painted with tinted silicone.
Ahhh! that's a lovely video, I kinda want to cry out of happiness for her :-)
She looks great in her tail!
Regarding silicone/latex mix ... if it's tin cure silicone, it shouldn't matter that there is latex around.
If it's platinum cure, perhaps she cured them separately. (Once they are cured they can be around each other)
What I know, is that she makes the scalesheets first, so they are cured when the fluke is being made.
The fluke isn't poured as in most silicone tails, they are painted on, layer by layer I think.
That fluke is beautifully floppy! I'm interested to see how well it holds up. It seems like great value for money!
