Discover how The Glow Collection makes colour theory effortless for nail techs. Learn to recommend summer shades with confidence, create balanced sets and guide clients to colours they’ll love.
Let's be honest, most clients don't sit down and ask for a lesson in colour theory.
They'll tell you they're going on holiday, attending a wedding, love pink, hate yellow, or simply want something "summery”.
Yet every day as nail technicians, we're using colour theory without even realising it.
The new
Glow Collection is the perfect example of this. Packed with vibrant shades for summer bright nails, soft shimmers and magnetic cat-eye finishes, it's a collection that offers something for every client personality, from the bold holiday-goer to the minimalist who just wants a little sparkle.
Colour theory sounds complicated, but in reality, it's simply understanding which colours work well together and why.
Having a basic understanding can help you:
- Recommend shades with confidence
- Create nail art that feels balanced
- Suggest colours that complement skin tones
- Help clients choose between multiple options
Most importantly, it helps turn "I don't know what I want" into a consultation that feels easy and professional.
This collection is all about summer energy.
Within these pro gel shades you’ll fine trending magnetic gel colours, adding movement and depth with very little effort, perfect for clients wanting something a little different without committing to intricate nail art. Simply pair with our
Dual-Ended Magnetic Tool to create cat-eye nail effects that clients can’t get enough of.
One of the easiest ways to use colour theory is by looking at undertones.
Clients who suit warm tones often gravitate towards colours with peachy, golden or coral influences, while cooler skin tones tend to love blues, lilacs and icy shades.
Of course, there are no rules. The goal isn't to tell a client what they can and can't wear — it's simply another tool to help guide the conversation.
A client who normally chooses a
nude BIAB™ might not immediately pick up
Santorini, but when they see how beautifully it complements their skin tone, they may discover a new favourite.
The beauty of
Glow is how versatile it is.
This collection works perfectly for:
- Colour-blocking with complementary shades
- Soft ombré nail transitions
- Magnetic accent nails
- Chrome nail overlays
- Mix-and-match summer sets
- Minimalist shimmer manicures
For clients who aren't ready for bright colours, try introducing the trend through a softer shade or magnetic detail rather than a full set.
Sometimes the smallest touch of colour creates the biggest impact.
You don't need a degree in colour theory to create beautiful nails.
Start by understanding the basics, pay attention to what your clients naturally gravitate towards, and don't be afraid to experiment with colour combinations.
Whether your client wants poolside glamour, sunset-inspired brights or a subtle shimmer that catches the light, this collection gives you endless opportunities to create personalised summer sets they'll love.
And who knows? Their new favourite shade might be one they never expected to choose.
