Longleage will completely renew its nail care range as the second phase of a project leading up to its 40th anniversary. Products will roll out from Tuesday, December 1, 2026. Graphic designer and art director Naomi Hirabayashi created the new brand logo and packaging.
A set with a new tool for checking the nail’s curve
Three Piece Nail Care Essentials combines a nail file and three-way buffer with a new original tool, the Nail Curve Ruler. The set is designed for caring for nails while checking their curve.
The brand proposes a “round square” shape: straight sides and tip, with gently rounded corners at the tip. It describes aiming for a height-to-width ratio of 1:1.6 when viewed from the end of the nail. Check each product’s instructions for where and how to use the tools.
Moisturizing ingredient added to more products, with coats selected by finish
The nail serum will contain a higher amount of the moisturizing ingredient Keratinomoist (dill seed extract). It will also be newly added to the polish remover, cuticle softener, base coats and top coats, emphasizing nail moisture across the range.
The base coat lineup adds matte-type Protect alongside the existing Sheer Pink. The brand presents Protect as a formula focused on reinforcing and protecting nails.
Two top coats are offered: Speedy, designed with quick drying and water vapor and oxygen permeability in mind, and Shiny, which adds gloss. Choose according to your preferred finish and the occasion.
- B-01 Nail Base Coat Protect
- B-02 Nail Base Coat Sheer Pink
- T-01 Nail Top Coat Speedy
- T-02 Nail Top Coat Shiny

When choosing a file or buffer, distinguish tools for shaping the nail edge from those for polishing the nail surface. The following points were selected from a guide to reading general nail-file markings. Prioritize this set’s own instructions for abrasiveness, order of use and handling the ruler.
