Los Angeles nail salon [Olive & June](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-stick-mani) is out to change this with 'The Poppy,' its innovative universal nail polish bottle handle. The Poppy neatly fits on top of a nail polish bottle and provides an expanded area that can be comfortably gripped to allow for more precision and control when applying a favorite color. The [ergonomically designed nail polish handle applicator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilt-beauty) is travel-friendly, easily cleaned, stored and is compatible with any nail polish bottle. This new accessory will help to simplify the process of applying nail polish and can be ordered alongside Olive & June's newly launched 7-Free spring nail polish line. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Grip-friendly Nail Polish Caps:** Olive & June's universal handle provides an expanded surface area for improved precision and control when applying nail polish. - **Ergonomically Designed Nail Polish Handle Applicator:** The Poppy's ergonomic design offers comfort and ease of use, making it travel-friendly and compatible with any nail polish bottle. - **Simplified Nail Polish Application Process:** The Poppy simplifies the process of applying nail polish by providing a grip-friendly handle for more precise and controlled application. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Beauty and Personal Care:** The innovative nail polish handle applicator presents an opportunity for beauty brands to improve user experience and differentiate their products. - **Travel Accessories:** The travel-friendly design of the Poppy opens up opportunities for the travel accessories industry to offer nail polish applicators that are easy to carry and use on the go. - **Packaging Design:** The grip-friendly nail polish caps challenge the traditional aesthetic-focused packaging design of nail polish bottles, offering potential for disruption in the packaging industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Nail Polish Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-pen.md) - [Next-Gen Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-stick-mani.md) - [Four-In-One Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourinone-nail-polis.md) - [Children's Beauty Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olive-june1.md) - [Lifestyle-Inspired Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-collections.md) - [Self-Correcting Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opi-gelcolor-intelligel-system.md) - [Kid-Friendly Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pressies-by-olive-june.md) - [Rotating Ergonomic Nail Clippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotating-clipper.md) - [Nail Polish Brand Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nailsinc-polishes.md)
