Today, I am sharing with you 25 nail colors from Japanese beauty brands/lines for summer 2026.
This post mainly highlights four colors: pink, green, blue and purple. Purple is my favorite color, and I love observing the different nuances of blue. You will see soft powdery blue, dusty blue and teal blue below.
The nail color line Number Polish (from D-Up) is featured on my blog for the first time. (The nail color line Tone Drop is also from D-Up.) There is some information on the line at the end of the post.

Today, I am sharing with you 25 nail colors from Japanese beauty brands/lines for summer 2025.
This summer, quite a few blue nail colors caught my attention. Some of them are warmer-toned, but it is the cooler-toned ones that I find particularly appealing. Two of the other main colors featured in this post are pink and bronze.
Cosme Decorte, Addiction and Nail Holic (all from Kosé) released new ranges of nail colors this summer (Skinific Nail Lacquer (22 shades), The Magnet Nail Polish (7 shades) and Nail Holic Dusty Colors (15 shades) respectively). The gently muted hues from the Dusty Colors range stand out for me.

Today, I am sharing with you 35 nail colors from Japanese beauty brands/lines for summer 2024.
Many of the new pink nail colors for this summer caught my attention. There are of course some bright and vibrant ones, but, for this season, there are quite a few more muted ones, some of which have a subtle lilac undertone. These low-key and demure hues particularly appeal to me.
I have included other shades in this post (orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and more). The turquoise shade from D-Up Tone Drop at the top of the post is among my favorite nail colors for this season.
THREE renewed its nail color range in May. (The new Nail Lacquer range replaces the Nail Polish range.) There are some lovely shades in the new range.

Today, I am sharing with you 35 nail colors from Japanese beauty brands/lines for summer 2023.
Quite a few brands released blue and purple nail colors this summer, and I am particularly drawn to some of the pastel ones and some of the ones with muted tones. The pastel ones look fresh and cooling, and the muted ones look understated and elegant.
Addiction and Ducato launched new ranges of nail colors this summer. Addiction released The Nail Polish + in April. It features 40 shades and there are many lovely colors (including some muted ones). Ducato released Nail Mine on July 3rd. At the moment, it is a small range with mostly quite vibrant shades.
Three brands included in this post (Söpö, To/one and D-Up) are featured on my blog for the first time. There are information and my thoughts on these brands at the end of the post.
