JINsoon, founded by iconic manicurist Jin Soon Choi, a nail artist who has shaped backstage nail trends for decades, is a line of clean, 21-free formulas and fashion-driven shades.
The shows that JINsoon artists, and Jin Soon herself particpated in during NYFW Fall/Winter 2026 were less spectacle, more discipline. Nails were clean and impeccably groomed. Very little nail art but powerful polish shades to match the sophistication of the fashion.
NAILS: CONDITION IS THE NEW COLOR WITH JINSOON
News from the brand says that the message was clear in the nails Jin Soon Choi and team designed, and that is that bedazzled was out, restrained was in.
At Ashlyn, the elook was a shiny clear nail with a thin French tip of Absolute Black.
While at Michael Kors, inside the Metropolitan Opera House, models wore Coquette (a true red), Audacity and Pixie. Timeless and sophisticated was the vibe.
Proenza Schouler models also showed their toes, so manicures and pedicures were earthy, muted shades--Sea Clay, Earth Clay, Chillin, and Tulle.
For that clean girl aesthetic:
