It's a Pleasing Wednesday! Harry Styles Drops New Italian-inspired Beauty Collection
Stylers, assemble! You’re probably still dreaming about the “Late Night Talking” video released last week, but we come bearing more good news: Harry Styles’s beauty brand “Pleasing” is back with a brand new collection, and it’s exactly what you need.
After the huge success of Pleasing’s first two collections – Perfect Pearl and Shroom Bloom – we’ve been kept waiting four whole months before any news of another drop, but it’s finally here. Meet Hot Holiday: a collection of four nail varnishes and two body products.
The official Pleasing Instagram page teased the new launch in several campaign videos, which featured a range of diverse models having fun on a beach. Did anyone else get flashbacks of the “Watermelon Sugar” music video? Most importantly, the models were showing off some killer nail designs and spritzing themselves with luxurious body products.
The range is inspired by the Italian coast, which seems to be the place to holiday this summer if the likes of celebrity couples Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi, and Adele and Rich Paul are anything to go by. The campaign shots are ladened with striped beach towels, ice lollies, candy floss, crisps, and card games, helping to transport us to childhood holidays and sunshine trips with friends.
And the dreamy nail varnish shades look like colour swatches taken directly from a seaside postcard from the Amalfi Coast. They’re punchy and sunny, and with names like Beach Ball, Nonna’s Sorbet, Harry’s Chair, and Wet Bottoms, a splash of these polishes is enough to give you a taste of an Italian summer.
This isn’t Styles’ first try at skincare, either. Fans went wild for the Pleasing Pen ($47), Pearlescent Illuminating Serum ($55), Acid Drops ($55), and Hand + Nail Balm ($39) previously released, but something about the “Hot Holiday” skin care feels more, dare we say it, sophisticated.
The Pleasing Soothing Tonic ($39) and Matte Moisture Glow ($70) are just the products to help you feel refreshed and rejuvenated, whether on a yacht in Capri . . . or in your back garden. If you’re a Styles super fan, you’ll know that each Pleasing launch normally comes with clothing. Don’t worry: some limited-edition “Hot Holiday” apparel is launching on 26 July, so be sure to keep an eye out as we update you.
Read on for a closer look at the six seaside-themed items up for grabs on Pleasing.com right now.
"Pleasing" Hot Holiday Collection: The Hot Holiday Set
For the ultimate beauty lover and/or Harry Styles superfan, you can get the Hot Holiday Set ($101)). It includes all four nail polish shades: Beach Ball (a deep blue opaque gloss formula), Nonna’s Sorbet (a vibrant yellow opaque gloss formula), Harry’s Chair (an earthy green opaque gloss formula), and Wet Bottoms (a high gloss, wet look clear topper formula). These can be used alone, layered or using the enclosed trappings to create a personalised look. Summer nail art has never looked so good.

Only want to purchase one polish? Don’t worry, you can buy Beach Ball ($31) and Nonna’s Sorbet ($31) individually, too.
"Pleasing" Hot Holiday Collection: The Pleasing Spritz Probiotic Soothing Tonic
The Pleasing Spritz Probiotic Soothing Tonic ($39) is the key to feeling instantly refreshed. Packed with Probiotic Lactobacillus Ferment, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, and Algae, a few sprays of this formula will help to rebalance, smooth, and hydrate the skin. With the added Aromatherapeutic Bitter Orange and Eucalyptus scent, this product is skin care and fragrance in one. Mist as much as you like to wake yourself up or use it as a post-makeup spray that’s ideal for hot weather.
"Pleasing" Hot Holiday Collection: Everybody Oil Matte Moisture Glow
The Everybody Oil Matte Moisture Glow ($70) is designed to suit everybody, as the name suggests. Treat your skin to a cocktail of flower and fruit oils and your nose to a whiff of Bergamot and Bitter Orange by applying this oil all over your body. It is best used after you’ve been in the sun or had a bath for a skin glow-up.
