February 2026 Inspiration & Trends
As February 2026 rolls in, we’re leaning into that in-between-season sweet spot. Softer, brighter tones meet lingering winter depth, creating nail looks that feel fresh but still seasonally grounded. This month’s picks spotlight barely-there pinks, rich Valentine reds, and clean, timeless shades that work effortlessly on every client.
Whether you’re updating your service menu, experimenting with something new, or refreshing your go-to looks, we’ve got you covered with HONA’s top February favourites.
1. Cat Eye Hearts
The first nail look we’re diving into is Cat Eye Hearts. A romantic twist on the ever-popular cat eye trend, this look is perfect for February. Soft magnetic movement paired with subtle heart details creates a design that feels elevated, playful, and ideal for Valentine’s sets without being over the top.
