Summer's Here — Clean Gel, Cordless Curing & Spa Cooldowns
The solstice hit and the booking calendar filled up overnight. This week's arrivals are built for a busy summer chair: a HEMA-free OPI Intelli-Gel combo in the season's softest milky pink, two cordless Cre8tion lamps that go where the work goes, and organic spa lotions to keep pedis cool when it's 90° outside. Fresh on the shelf — first look below.
If you've been watching the gel conversation, you already know where it's heading. The EU banned TPO in nail products in September 2025, the UK follows in September 2026, and U.S. brands are reformulating fast — which means the HEMA-free options landing in 2026 are genuinely better than what existed even 18 months ago. Clean, low-sensitivity formulas aren't a niche anymore; they're what clients are asking for by name.
That trend lines up neatly with where summer color is going: editors are calling milky pinks, sorbet peaches, and glossy "jelly" finishes the look of the season, with warm pearl and rose-gold chrome edging out cold mirror chrome. Our hero this week sits right in that pocket. Here's what's new.
OPI Intelli-Gel — Clean Gel in the Season's Softest Pink
This is the one to lead with. OPI Intelli-Gel is HEMA-free, so it's a natural fit for clients with sensitivity concerns and for techs who want to get ahead of the clean-gel shift. The shade — S061 "OPI'm a Bubble Bunny" — is exactly the milky, sun-warmed pink trending for summer 2026, and this bonus combo bundles two bottles with a free White Pearl Chrome (1g) so you can layer a soft pearl finish over the top. Pearl-over-milky-pink is the easy upsell of the season.
