Influence of social media and technology

Social media has deeply infiltrated lives and changed how we connect with each other. Platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube give endless inspiration for everything from home design to fashion to beauty. Fingernails happen to be one of the most visible and photo-worthy beauty features flaunted on these visual directories of style. Talented nail artists flock to such channels to share their intricate nail art designs which amass huge follower counts. Ordinary users too love to flaunt unique manicures as part of their curated selfies.

This has introduced mainstream beauty consumers to intricate nail art styles previously limited to high-end salons. Gradient nails, negative space art, and dual-colored nails are now common nail trends tried by amateurs at home due to detailed YouTube tutorials. Brands too leverage these channels to promote new collections using influencers. Social proof in the form of likes, shares, and comments further drives demand for certain on-trend shades or novelty nail sticker designs at any given time. Technology has also enabled advanced polymer science innovations in nail polishes. Formulas that provide salon-quality finishes with a few strokes and ultra-fast drying times empower busy women to maintain polished nails on-the-go. Long-wear and chip-resistant qualities allow designs to last through rigorous daily activities. These conveniences have further propelled nail polishing as an accessible at-home indulgence fitting modern lifestyles versus sporadic salon treatments.
