Together with external experts who work in various fields, the JNA trend project team publishes nail art trends twice a year, making accurate forecasts based on global fashion trends. The trends that have been announced were designed under specific themes that were established by top nail artists (nailists) who represent the JNA.

The main theme for the Nail Art Trends in this season is "GENTLY, GRACEFUL" Created to honor the strength, gentleness and the sparkle inside in a modern day woman, 2015 Spring/Summer new look "GENTLY, GRACEFUL," the collection of new nail looks tells a story of how to express and pursue the cool as well as masculine beauty of a woman with volitional power. Having set "frosty yellow" as key player for this season, with image if the sun in mind, this collection is all about the blending and layering of colors and texture, creating graceful shine and sparkle like the light that comes from inside - as if a veil of light gently wraps fingertips. And by mixing the romantic nature and the graceful nature of a Japanese woman, new look sets a new touchstone of beauty, and realizes every individual's beauty shine.
