HISTORIC Co., Ltd. will exhibit at "Super Japon," a Japan-themed exhibition to be held at the long-established Paris department store "Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche" in France from Saturday, August 29 to Sunday, October 18, 2026.
The company says it will display and sell the peel-off nail polish of its own brand "oui nails" and propose a new Japan-born self-nail culture to the world.
Japan-born peel-off nail polish heads to a historic Paris department store
Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche was founded in 1852 on the Left Bank of Paris and is said to be France's first department store. With a history of more than 170 years, it is a long-established department store that is still in business today.
At this place, where people with a keen sense of style gather from around the world, HISTORIC Co., Ltd. proposes a new way of enjoying self-nails, in which you freely enjoy nails to match your fashion and mood.
The department store has curated a wide range of categories with its own sensibility, including luxury fashion, beauty, lifestyle, food, and art, and has offered new value to customers around the world. It is also known as a place where culture, art, and new brands intersect, not merely a place to sell products.
Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche actively introduces designers, creators, and brands from around the world and continues to create distinctive sales floors that capture the spirit of the times. Today it remains one of Paris's leading department stores and has a major influence on fashion and lifestyle worldwide. This exhibition, through oui nails, is a valuable opportunity to introduce the appeal of uniquely Japanese self-nails and its beauty culture to the world.
"Super Japon," a special event spreading Japanese culture
The "Super Japon" exhibition is a special program introducing Japanese culture, craftsmanship, fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. It will be held from Saturday, August 29 to Sunday, October 18, 2026.
Inside the store, a space modeled on a Japanese convenience store will appear, introducing a wide variety of uniquely Japanese products, such as stationery, food, fashion items, and goods symbolizing "Kawaii" culture. The program lets visitors experience not only traditional culture but also the new sensibilities and lifestyles born in present-day Japan, sharing the appeal of Japan with visitors from around the world.
Proposing a new self-nail culture of "changing your nails like clothes"
The "oui nails peel-off nail polish" to be displayed and sold is a water-based peel-off nail polish that dries in about one minute and can be peeled off without nail polish remover.
Its ease of handling, typical of water-based products, is also a feature; it is easy to bring into scenes where families enjoy self-nails together, delivering the fun of nails to a wide range of generations.
While ordinary nail polish assumes that you enjoy the same color for a long time, with oui nails you can freely choose a color to match your plans, mood, and fashion of the day, and easily take it off after you have enjoyed it.
Another appeal is that even people who usually find nails difficult because of work or school can casually enjoy nails only when they need them, such as on days off, on trips, or at special events.
Choosing a nail color to suit yourself that day, the way you change clothes or enjoy makeup. oui nails proposes a lifestyle in which you can enjoy nails more freely and more casually.
The future of beauty that HISTORIC Co., Ltd. aims for
HISTORIC Co., Ltd. wants to make beauty not something special for only a few people, but something anyone can enjoy in their own way. From professional beauty supplies to self-beauty items that fit into daily life, it has proposed products and experiences that are not bound by conventional wisdom.
The company explains that this exhibition at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche is not solely intended to sell Japanese beauty products overseas. It is a challenge to bring the meticulous craftsmanship cultivated in Japan and the value of enjoying beauty freely to people around the world.
How will peel-off nail polish be received in Paris, a world-renowned center of cultural influence, and what new nail experiences will it lead to? HISTORIC Co., Ltd. says it will treat this exhibition as a new start and continue to share the possibilities of Japanese beauty and craftsmanship with the world.
