HONA News July 2026 Newsletter
July has been a milestone month at HONA.
This month, we celebrated four years of the HONA Gel System, welcomed exciting new additions to the HONASKIN collection, and continued expanding HONA Education with even more free learning opportunities for nail techs.
From celebrating how far we've come to introducing products designed to support every part of the nail technician journey, July has been all about innovation, education and helping our community continue to grow with confidence.
Let's take a look back at everything July had in store... plus a little peek at what's coming next.
New Arrivals
This month we welcomed
July saw the launch of two exciting additions to the HONASKIN collection: the HONA Cuticle Balm and The Essentials Bundle.
HONA Cuticle Balm
Created as the richer evolution of our much-loved Cuticle Oil, the HONA Cuticle Balm was designed to deliver deeper nourishment, longer-lasting hydration and beautifully cared-for cuticles. Infused with cocoa butter, shea butter and our signature cuticle oil blend, it melts effortlessly into the skin to care for dry cuticles, hands and other areas needing extra moisture.
Finished with a luxurious vanilla scent and presented in premium retail-ready packaging, it's one of the easiest products for nail technicians to recommend and retail. Available individually or as a discounted retail bundle of 12, it offers a simple way to introduce clients to daily cuticle care while creating an excellent profit opportunity for your salon.
New Free Masterclasses on HONA Education
Our Education Hub, honaeducation.com, continues to grow, making high-quality education more accessible for nail technicians at every stage of their journey.
At HONA, we believe every nail tech deserves access to knowledge, support and continued learning, helping us build a safer, smarter and stronger industry together.
This month, we expanded our free learning library with three brand new masterclasses:
- French Manicure Masterclass – Learn how to create timeless, salon-perfect French manicures with clean smile lines and flawless finishes.
- 3D Sculpture Gel Masterclass – Discover how to sculpt raised, dimensional nail art using HONA's 3D Sculpture Gel.
- Repairs 101 – Master simple yet effective repair techniques to safely fix damaged or broken nails and keep clients' natural nails protected.
Whether you're looking to refine classic techniques, explore new nail art trends or build confidence in everyday salon services, there's never been a better time to continue your learning with HONA Education.

As August arrives, summer nail trends reach their most creative, making it the perfect time to explore the biggest August nail trends, summer nail ideas and holiday nail designs clients are searching for. This is the month to embrace bold, statement-making looks, with cat eye nails, 3D nail art, chrome finishes, vibrant colour palettes and playful textures continuing to dominate salons and social media.
