HONA Behind The Scenes: Cancelled Gel Polish Collections

In this chaotic yet fun episode of the HONA Podcast, hosts Mike and Charlotte dive into the world of failed and cancelled gel polish collections that never made it to market. From the 'Dripping in Finesse' collection that ended up looking like an Indian takeaway menu to the culturally sensitive 'Day of the Dead' collection that was pulled last minute, they discuss the trials and tribulations behind each concept. They also touch on the creative process, brainstorms, and the importance of navigating cultural sensitivities in product development. If you're a nail tech or a member of the HONA community, this episode offers a fascinating look at the business side of product creation and the inevitable mistakes along the way.
