The Summer Solstice Drop Is Here
Summer goes official on June 20 — and the trucks didn't wait. This week we unloaded a brand-new clean-gel color system from Kiara Sky, a wave of neon and cat-eye collections from Royal, and builder shimmers from Gelish. Here's what just hit the shelves and what to stock before the summer booking rush.
Every summer the chairs fill up — vacation manis, bridal parties, grad sets, and walk-ins chasing the trend of the moment. For 2026 that trend is texture: cat-eye shimmer, glazed jelly, and sheer chrome are what clients are asking for, and warm corals and citrus brights are leading the color story. We restocked and brought in new lines to match. Below: the hero launch, the summer-bright cat-eye collections, and the builder & finishing essentials that keep every set wearing for weeks.
SKY
Kiara Sky Gel Pro — A New Clean-Gel Color System
Launched this week: the full Gel Pro range — 150+ shades plus the essentials to run the system end to end. The summer-leaning brights (Tangerine Twist, Melon Tonic, Lemon Creme) are made for vacation season, while the milky and creme tones cover the year-round bread-and-butter. Soak Off Gel is consistently the #1 category at C8, so a fresh, clean-formula color line is worth a front-shelf spot.
