The shades that she has chosen to focus on here are all informed by the spring and summer seasons. Schuman begins the entry by pointing to just how important lacquer can be. Often it is the first thing that Schuman takes in when meeting someone new, if not for the bold pops of color, then for her sentiment that it reveals a lot about women. Paired with coral, pink, orange, red and dark plum products are necklaces, clutches and coffee cups. Best of all are the many brands that Schuman takes from. In addition to the assortment of tones, she also makes many references to labels [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanels-spring-2025), OPI, [Estee Lauder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/este-lauder-x-ladure), [Orly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orly-beauty-ph-perfector) and Deborah Lippmann. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 23% | 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fashionable Nail Polish:** Explore the trend of fashionable nail polish colors informed by seasonal choices. - **Personality Through Lacquer:** Discover the trend of using nail polish as a way to express individuality and reveal aspects of personal style. - **Branded Lacquer Products:** Learn about the trend of incorporating various brands of nail polish into fashion and beauty discussions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Beauty:** Fashion and beauty professionals can explore the disruptive innovation opportunities of creating unique nail polish colors inspired by seasonal choices. - **Jewelry and Accessories:** Jewelry and accessory designers have the opportunity to design pieces that complement and enhance the colors of fashionable nail polishes. - **Cosmetics and Personal Care:** Cosmetics and personal care companies can capitalize on the trend of branded lacquer products by collaborating with nail polish brands for exclusive collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glittering Springtime Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opi-your-way-collection.md) - [Innovative Nail Product Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-products.md) - [Frosted Rose Nail Lacquers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frosted-rose-nail.md) - [Springtime Chocolate Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sally-hansen-x-hersheys.md) - [Romantic Nail Polish Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sally-hansen-x-loveshackfancy.md) - [Glass Art-Inspired Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glazed-glass-collection.md) - [Chromatic Cowgirl-Inspired Nail Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-west-chrome-collection.md) - [Cocktail-Paired Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stgermain-x-miniluxe-royale-gift-set.md) - [Jewelry-Inspired Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essie-gel-couture-bedazzled-collection.md)
