Fruit-powered skincare brand Glow Recipe recently dropped a trio of Toner Pads inspired by Korean facials, and teamed up with social beauty club Majesty's Pleasure to offer the Glow Hour nail edit. This limited-time experience, inspired by the new toner pads, invites guests to make a booking on select dates in April and May, and get samples of Glow Recipe’s Toner Pad trio to enjoy during their manicure service.
The pampering self-care experience offered in New York and Toronto is made even more sensorial with a refreshing drink inspired by Glow Recipe skincare, incorporating key ingredients like watermelon, guava or prickly pear that support radiance from the inside out.
Add-ons are required for nail art, also inspired by the potent toner trio's hero colors and skin-loving benefits.
Key Themes Behind This Trend

- Beauty-meets-beverage Pairings
- Combining consumable beverages reflecting product ingredients with beauty services fosters multi-sensory programs that deepen brand immersion and cross-category engagement.
Where This Applies
- Professional Nail Services
