LIONYX Lacquer is serving up summer glow with its second seasonal launch: SUNSTRUCK. The six-piece line features two solar lacquers, three glow-in-the-dark lacquers and a clear multichrome flakie topper.

The Collection

Solar Lacquers

  • DAYDREAM – Transforms from cornflower blue indoors to vibrant violet outside with a luminous fuchsia shimmer.
  • GOLDEN HOUR– Shifts from buttercup yellow indoors to a warm rose gold outdoors with luminous gold shimmer.

Glow-in-the-Dark Lacquers

  • AFTERGLOW – A sky-blue shimmer with a pink shift that glows neon blue-green in the dark.
  • GLOW UP – A vibrant coral shimmer that glows warm yellow-orange in the dark.
  • LIMELIGHT – A neon lime shimmer packed with rainbow sparkle that glows bright green.

Topper

  • KALEIDOSCOPE – A clear rainbow multichrome flakie topper that shifts through the full spectrum alone or over any base color.

"SUNSTRUCK is our celebration of the way light can completely transform color," said Jessica Burns, co-founder of LIONYX Lacquer. 

"We wanted every shade to feel interactive and a little unexpected – whether it's changing in the sun, glowing after dark or shifting with every movement of light. It's a collection that captures the energy, nostalgia and magic of summer."

The Vision Behind SUNSTRUCK

When we think of summer, we think golden afternoons, electric sunsets and warm summer nights. SUNSTRUCK is inspired by those elements, with every shade designed to evolve throughout the day.

The collection draws inspiration from the founders' shared appreciation for the transformative moments that define summer, when familiar everyday colors become brighter, bolder and more vibrant with changing light.

"The same manicure can look completely different depending on the time of day or where you are. SUNSTRUCK was designed to capture that sense of transformation, making every shade feel dynamic, playful and endlessly wearable," says Kelly Jennings, co-founder of LIONYX Lacquer

SUNSTRUCK's release follows LIONYX's successful debut in April 2026, which introduced 27 shades across three collections featuring specialty finishes including thermals, holographics and multichromes. With the introduction of its first solar and glow-in-the-dark formulas, LIONYX continues expanding its lineup of transformative specialty nail lacquers.

LIONYX lacquer builds on its signature wide fan brush for effortless application with fast-drying, long-wearing and 10-free formulas.
