This September, NAILON returns with its highly anticipated second issue, set to release on September 29, 2025, and already positioning itself as a defining moment in the convergence of beauty, fashion, and pop culture. For the first time in the magazine’s history, female artists are chosen to front the cover, with NiziU’s Mako, Rio, and Maya leading the charge. Their appearance coincides with the group’s fifth anniversary, making the timing both deliberate and symbolic.
NAILON itself is a unique creation, the result of a collaboration between NYLON JAPAN—a cutting-edge global publication famed for its cultural influence and fearless fashion narratives—and NAILEX, a specialized nail magazine dedicated to nail technicians and artistry. Together, they have built NAILON into a hybrid title: part high-fashion editorial, part creative platform where nails are elevated to objects of design and expression.
In this comeback issue, Mako, Rio, and Maya debut not only as cover stars but also as a striking unit within the pages of the magazine. Styled under the theme “GIRL’S GIRL,” their imagery immerses the reader in a world that balances playful femininity with refined editorial drama. Glitter, lace, soft ribbons, and pink tones evoke the intimacy of cherished youth, while the polished execution roots the visuals firmly within contemporary fashion’s language of self-expression.
At the heart of the issue lies nail artistry itself, presented with the same gravitas fashion magazines typically devote to haute couture. The “Tsumepi” nail designs showcased in the spreads gleam with miniature hearts, butterflies, and sparkling motifs—tiny canvases where craftsmanship meets storytelling. These designs do not merely accessorize; they extend the identities of their wearers, harmonizing with the mood of the accompanying images.
Amplifying the visuals is a candid conversation with Mako, Rio, and Maya, offering readers insight into the group’s evolving artistry and the anticipation surrounding NiziU’s forthcoming album. The interview complements the editorial photography, layering personal reflection over retro-inspired worlds curated exclusively within these pages.
As a final flourish, the NiziU edition of NAILON ISSUE 02 includes a collectible mini photo card of the trio, designed to slip seamlessly into a smartphone case—a detail that underscores the magazine’s hybrid nature as both covetable fashion object and intimate fan keepsake. The back cover design remains under wraps, maintaining an element of intrigue as the release approaches.
More than a magazine, NAILON functions as a cultural experiment where subcultures of beauty and mainstream fashion intersect. With Mako, Rio, and Maya at the center of this landmark issue, its pages transcend glossy visuals to celebrate artistry, femininity, and the dynamic synergy between music, fashion, and nail art.
