At Cosmoprof North America Las Vegas 2026, Beetles Gel Polish announced Beetles Nail Glow, its first official collaboration with Pantone. The six-shade collection is all about exploring color's role in self-care and inspiring a sense of calm and emotional comfort with a HEMA-free, TPO-free, and TMPTA-free formula for a gentler nail experience.
Meditative State, a soft pale blue, is the collection's hero shade and it's named to blend the feeling of "meditative" and "sedative" and express the soothing emotional energy explored across the limited-edition Beetles Nail Glow collaboration. Alongside Meditative State are self-leveling shades like Tender Pause, Pure Bliss and Stolen Moment, each promising one-coat color payoff and a high-saturation cream finish, whether they're used to accent nails, cover them fully, or mix with other Beetles products.
