MelodySusie is celebrating its 17th anniversary. It is a time to celebrate another year of growth, another year of innovation, and another chapter of the journey we've shared with nail lovers around the world. From first-time nail enthusiasts and bold creators to professionals turning passion into a career, we’re grateful for every person and community who has made nail artistry their own.
Our journey has been guided by creativity, courage, connection, and a genuine love for nail artistry, and our mission has remained simple: to make every step of your nail journey easier, more enjoyable, more creative, and more confident.
Looking Back at 2026: A Year of Purpose
Products Launched in 2026

Every product we introduced was developed to answer one simple question:
“How can we make the nail care and creation process easier for every nail lover?”
Whether it was improving portability and safety, enhancing comfort during use, increasing performance and efficiency, making nail care more approachable for beginners, creating a more organized workspace, or offering more options for nail art creation, each launch represented another step toward helping creators spend less time overcoming obstacles and more time enjoying the creative process.
Looking back at everything we've launched throughout 2026, we're proud not only of the products themselves, but of the purpose behind them.
Beyond Products: Growing with the Nail Community
Throughout the year, we connected with creators, educators, and professionals across the industry. Through Nail Life Gallery, we shared stories that not only about beautiful nail designs, but also the passion, perseverance, and personal journeys behind them. As a proud sponsor of Nailympia and North America's Star Nail Artist (NASNA), MelodySusie had the opportunity to witness exceptional talent and support the continued growth of professional nail artistry. We also met thousands of nail lovers at Premiere Orlando, IBS New York, and other beauty exhibitions around the world. These conversations gave us a closer look at the everyday challenges nail creators face—and reminded us that great products begin with listening.
Looking Ahead to 2027: Care, Innovation, and Support for Creation
New Nail Fashion That Starts with You
MelodySusie is bringing our tradition of product innovation from nail tools to nail fashion products, expanding our range of shades and gel types to meet diverse needs in gel application and color choices, as well as more varieties on nail art tools and accessories. We will invite nail lovers to be part of the innovation process. Your ideas and feedback could inspire our next product.
Vision Beyond Products
This year, we have made our brand philosophy clearer. Our future is guided by six values: Revolutionary, Supportive, Caring, Self-Expression, Confidence, and Fearlessness. These are not only the principles that define us, but also the kind of values we hope to bring to the community.
Our Promise to Every Creator
Every creative journey starts with the courage to try. MelodySusie is aimed at supporting more creators, more stories, and inspiring everyone to confidently say:
“I want to create.”
We want every creation to be shared with pride, every story to be heard, every idea to be valued, and every creator to feel encouraged to grow.
Looking ahead, we will continue to support creators through different initiatives
Meet Our 17th Anniversary New Arrivals
1.SM350A Nail Drill: Power That Keeps Up with Your Creativity
The SM350A brings a fresh look to our classic Scamander Nail Drill, now with an upgraded motor that delivers more powerful performance with less noise at up to 35,000 RPM. A larger LED display makes settings easier to read, while the two-in-one desktop stand and belt clip offer flexibility for different workspaces and routines.
With approximately 18–24 hours of battery life, the SM350A is designed for extended nail sessions—from practicing at home to keeping up with a full professional schedule.
To celebrate MelodySusie’s 17th anniversary, we’ve also created a limited-edition SM350A Gift Set, pairing the new nail drill with carefully selected manicure essentials and nail art accessories in an exclusive anniversary gift box.

2. P-PLUS29A Nail Lamp: Smarter Curing, Designed Around You
The P-PLUS29A features a dome-shaped design that helps focus light around the nails while minimizing unnecessary UV exposure to the backs of the hands. Its dedicated thumb-curing area allows for a more natural hand position, helping reduce smudging and achieve more consistent curing.
A smart touchscreen creates an intuitive, professional experience, with dedicated hand and foot modes, multiple timer settings, and a 180° rotatable display that makes operation convenient for both nail artists and clients. Powered by an LED/UV dual-light source, the P-PLUS29A provides efficient curing across a wide range of gel products, including acrylic and hard gels.

3. P-ART12A Nail Art Lamp: Light Exactly Where You Need It
The P-ART12A is designed for nail artists who need greater precision during detailed work. Its flexible gooseneck lets you direct light exactly where it’s needed, making flash curing easier for nail art, rhinestones, and intricate designs.
When the work is done, the gooseneck bends neatly into the built-in groove along the body for easy storage and transport. Automatic sensing, 30- and 60-second timer options, and a surrounding light shield help make every flash-cure session simple and controlled.
