Beetles Gel Polish Runs the Taste of Spring Event

— March 4, 2026 — Fashion
Beetles Gel Polish hosted a multi-sensory 'Taste of Spring' immersive activation in New York City at Maison Welles. The initiative transformed the space into a spring-themed environment where guests could experience the brand's new pastel and jelly-finish gel polish collection through hands-on manicure stations paired with a coordinated afternoon tea menu.

Beetles Gel Polish's Taste of Spring event was designed around the concept of seasonal refreshment. It featured a candy-house-shaped packaging display for the Taste of Spring Gel Box and a drinks and dessert menu that visually echoed the colors of the nail products.

Beetles Gel Polish's collection remains on display at the venue for a limited period. The activation was accompanied by giveaway activities, while the products are available for purchase online and through retail partners including Walmart and Target.
