The British summer is known for its changeable weather and this year has been no different. It seems that your clients’ taste in summer nail shades is just as unpredictable, with no single shade reigning supreme. Top picks among your clients include reds and pinks (54%), neutrals and nudes (49%) and pretty pastels (43%).

Summer can actually affect how nails grow, with scientists suggesting that they grow faster in the warmer months than they do in winter. Cuticle care is a crucial aspect of growing healthy nails, and its importance is reflected by almost all of you reporting that you always tell your clients to use a cuticle oil or balm regularly.

With autumn fast approaching, don’t miss our AW22 nail trend report on page 50, where we reveal the nail designs, textures, shapes and products to keep your clients on trend to the end of the year.
