This six-shade gel polish line officially launched following its premiere at [Cosmoprof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetles-nail-glow) North America 2026 and is currently available through the brand’s official website, Amazon, and [TikTok Shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opicons-collection). Beetles Gel Polish's Nail Glow draws direct inspiration from the Pantone Color Institute’s research into the psychological and emotional impacts of hues. The collection’s centerpiece, a pale blue shade named Medative State, is intended to evoke a sense of weightless tranquility and mental clarity, while the accompanying five colors — which include warm neutrals, soft blushes, creamy whites, and uplifting corals — are curated to provide a versatile spectrum that accommodates varying emotional needs, daily routines, and stylistic preferences.
