For Summer 2018, famed nail artist Jin Soon Choi partnered with New-York based luxury swim and resort wear designers, Megan Balch and Jaime Barker of Flagpole, to create this season’s signature look billed as “adventurous sophistication.”

JINsoon and fashion brand Flagpole team up for seasonal colors.
A Power Trio
Consisting of three full-bodied shades, The JINsoon x Flagpole Summer 2018 Collection was inspired by the colors of the rainforests of Puerto Rico and the exotic birds of Brazil.
Tropical Inspiration
“We fell in love with the colors of the city and rainforest in Puerto Rico on a trip there last summer, and it reminded us of one of our favorite birds we have always loved, the green-headed tanager from Brazil,” said Balch, “and we just knew Jin would be able to capture our vision and love of these colors perfectly.”
Artist Insight
“I wanted to create a collection that embodied the iconic American style of Flagpole, and the sophisticated yet active women who wear their designs,” Choi said. “I really like their signature color-blocking and strong architectural lines. I felt I could collaborate well with their aesthetic.”
Dive Deep
Named after the elements of the beach and tropical waters, the three colors each possess their own unique characteristics. The JINsoon polishes feature a double-patented formula that delivers a long-lasting manicure with a rich color payoff.
