A New Cat-Eye Brand Just Landed — Right Before Self-Care Day
International Self-Care Day is Friday, July 24, and late July is when "treat yourself" bookings spike. This week's drop is built for exactly that: a brand-new Hang cat-eye program with eleven full collections, NotPolish's HEMA-free gel essentials for sensitive clients, and a pedicure-station refresh. Stock the statement finishes now — Leo season starts July 23, and clients aren't asking for "safe" anymore.
Hang Cat Eye Collections — Eleven New Sets, All With Counter Displays
A whole new cat-eye brand just joined the C8 wall. Hang arrived with eleven complete collections — 12, 18, and 36-color sets, every one shipping with its own counter display so you can merchandise the service the day it lands. The range covers both ends of the request list: icy, dramatic finishes in Platinum, Starry and Neon, and the softer, wearable side in Pure Nude, Nude Shimmer, Blooming Rose and Mist Violet Fall.
The timing is right. Nail pros are reporting that clients stopped asking for "safe" this summer and started asking for specific — expressive color that still looks polished. Magnetic cat-eye is exactly that: dramatic in the light, wearable in the office. And with dusty rose among the season's fastest-rising shades, Blooming Rose is a smart first set if you're testing the brand.

The icy, metallic end of the range — 36 shades built for that silver "liquid-light" flare clients are bringing in on their phones.
Shop Platinum
Deep, galaxy-leaning shimmer across 36 shades — the statement set for Leo-season drama and evening bookings.

NotPolish Goes HEMA-Free: Base & Top Coats for Sensitive Clients
The industry keeps moving toward cleaner gel chemistry, and NotPolish just landed a full HEMA-free essentials line — a gel base coat plus three finishes: Glassy Gloss, Soft Matte, and Blossoming. At $13 a bottle these are an easy way to offer a gentler service to clients who react to standard gels, without reworking your whole back bar.
One to note for cat-eye techs: the Soft Matte Top Coat is how you get the "velvet" cat-eye finish — same magnetic gel, matte topper, and the flare turns soft and suede-like. It's the fall/winter variation clients start requesting as soon as the weather turns.
HEMA FreeBase + 3 Finishes$13 each
The foundation of the gentler service — HEMA-free adhesion for clients with sensitivities.
Shop Base Coat
Your velvet cat-eye topper — and the matte finish behind the season's softest, most understated sets.
Shop Soft Matte All Gel EssentialsRefresh the Pedi Station Before the Treat-Yourself Rush
Self-Care Day lands Friday, and pedicures are the service it drives. Summer 2026 pedi bookings are already running hot — and the details clients notice are the ones on the table. A fresh set of bowls, a matching tray, and a tidy art palette make the station photograph better and feel more considered, which is exactly what a "treat yourself" client is paying for.
Matching gold or silver pedi trays and bowl sets, plus a 4-compartment spa tray — the quickest visual upgrade a pedi station can get.
Shop Pedi Trays Spa & Pedicure
Little upgrades that make a station look intentional. Also new: Cre8tion Soap Flower for the retail shelf.
Shop PalettesAlso In: Entity Sculpting Powder by the Pound
For the acrylic side of the house — Entity Sculpting Powder landed in 1lb tubs across White, Pink and Pinkest. Bulk sizing for salons running steady acrylic services, so you're not reordering mid-week.
Pro-size sculpting powder in the three core shades. Consistent set, salon-volume tub.
