Sally Hansen Unveils Its Sweetest Partnership Yet with Dominique Ansel and Celebrity Nail Artists in a Super Charged Launch

A sweet super charged drop blending pink nail culture, celeb artist-created nail looks, sweet-crafted treats, and at-home creativity.

NEW YORK, Feb. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sally Hansen, the OG nail category innovator, today announces a sweet collaboration with Dominique Ansel. Designed to tap into the growing obsession with pink, self-treat culture, and the rise of small joys, particularly among Gen Z, this limited-edition drop blends nail artistry, beauty innovation, and dessert-inspired indulgence into one craveable at-home experience.

WHERE TREAT CULTURE MEETS NAIL CULTURE
This super charged partnership brings together the best of beauty, nail artistry and indulgence to create something exceptionally sweet, inspired by Sally Hansen’s latest collection. For this drop, Sally Hansen teams up with Dominique Ansel Bakery, the iconic dessert destination, and celebrity nail artists Mei Kawajiri and Kim Truong known for their show stopping designs, to bring that inspiration to life. The accompanying mailer iterations celebrate beauty as an emotional pick-me-up and transforms everyday manicures into a moment of joy, while bringing Sally Hansen super fans and beauty enthusiasts along the way for a VIP-style unboxing.

From glazed donut nails to pastry-inspired finishes, sweet treats have long shaped nail trends. Chef Dominique Ansel, inspired by nail art and texture, crafted two cookies to complement the two mailer iterations: the Blush Crush Linzer Cookie and the Berry Best Effort Linzer Cookie. The Blush Crush Linzer Cookie is filled with creamy strawberry white chocolate ganache and finished with a Blush Crush–hued glaze for a glossy pink look. The Berry Best Effort Linzer Cookie features homemade raspberry jam, topped with a Berry Best Effort–hued glaze and a dusting of edible shimmer for a subtle blue sheen that mirrors the polish’s reflective finish.

“I've always been fascinated with nail art as a source of inspiration for artistry and design. The techniques and tools used in creating beautifully intricate nail designs are very similar to baking techniques, whether it's stenciling chocolate, glazing pastries, or airbrushing cakes,” says Chef Dominique Ansel. “I was excited to develop a pastry inspired by Sally Hansen's newest innovation, and created a duo of linzer cookies complete with tiny cut-out droplets and hand-piped glaze that mimics the polishes' pink hues.”

THE NAIL LOOKS
This collaboration spotlights two exclusive, artist-designed nail looks created by super talented celebrity nail artists:

• Love Wave designed by Mei Kawajiri (@NailsbyMei)
• Jam Drip Heart designed by Kim Truong (@KimKimNails)

Each nail look features a sweet, yet super charged curated selection of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel™ shades such as Blush Crush, Work Hard Play Pink, Tough Love, and Berry Best Effort finished with Miracle Gel™ SuperVolume Top Coat. Inspired by tasty treats, each mailer includes curated nail looks with a step-by-step guide to recreate at home.

“I draw inspiration from everything when I think about creating my next nail set, especially food! Culinary art is similar to nail art in that there are very specific techniques to create a final masterpiece. This cookie from Dominique Ansel is made with two layers of French sablé biscuit, and layering is an important method in creating dynamic nail art,” said Mei Kawajiri, Celebrity Nail Artist. “This nail design layers several shades of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel pinks and utilizes one of my favorite layering approaches to bring this ombré effect to life!”

“Inspired by the jam dripping from the Sally Hansen x Dominique Ansel custom pastry, my Jam Drip Heart nail design starts with a rich Berry Best Effort base and an off-center Blush Crush heart that looks like it’s melting into the nail,” said Kim Truong, Celebrity Nail Artist. “I finished the look with the Miracle Gel Super Volume Builder Top Coat to give it that glossy, jam-like shine. It’s playful, a little unexpected, and imperfect in the best way.”
