What you need to know

Although growth in the nail care and color market has slowed since 2013, interest in gel polish manicures, nail treatments, and more natural nail care represent key opportunities. Effective outreach to Millennials, moms, and Hispanics via product offerings, digital technology, and targeted marketing can help revitalize the market.
