💅 Why Tucson Guests Are Loving These Summer Nail Trends

Sun-Kissed Shades
This summer, think golden apricot, juicy melon, and sun-bleached coral. O.P.I’s new collections are packed with radiant colors that flatter every skin tone under the Arizona sun. Try Mango for It or Sandalwood Tells for that soft yet saturated pop.

Barely There but Better
Natural nails are having a moment. Soft sheers and neutral tones get elevated with glossy finishes and subtle pearl. Qtica’s nourishing treatments help prep the perfect base, while O.P.I’s sheer shades add just the right touch of polish.

Chrome and Shine
Mirror finishes and metallic tips are showing up everywhere. With Sculpture by Gadabout’s custom nail art and expert gel application, you can get that high-gloss look without the bulk or damage.

✨ Nail Health Comes First

Before color, there is care. Qtica Cuticle Repair Balm and Smart Spa Sugar Scrubs are essentials for keeping nails hydrated and hands soft in Tucson’s dry climate. Add in O.P.I’s Nail Envy for a strength boost that supports growth and resilience. This is perfect if you are transitioning from gels or acrylics.

💬 Nail Questions from Our Tucson Guests

Q: How can I make my manicure last longer in the summer?

Q: What if I want nail art but I am not into bold looks?
A: Sculpture by Gadabout offers minimalist designs like micro flowers, soft ombré, or fine-line art that is chic and understated. Our artists can customize something subtle yet stunning.

A: Absolutely. Ask about O.P.I’s Nail Envy and Qtica’s Natural Nail Growth Stimulator. Both are designed to condition and fortify your nails over time.
