Creative Nail Design EFFECTS Lets You Be Your Own Designer

Fashion Week is coming in just a few Weeks (September 10-17). For the past few years, particularly, Creative Nail Design has been the Nail company of the runways. Their high-quality products perform so well, even the models are happy to have their nails done (over and over and over and over again!). CND also has also made "nail makeup" even more exciting, but creating special colors just for certain designers runways *but you can copy them by using a couple of existing CND colors.


But now Creative Nail Design (that's CND creator Jan Arnold, in the photo) is just about to launch (in late Fall) a concept that will allow you to be your own trend-setter and eliminate "cookie cutter" nails, forever. Their new line, called "CND Effects" will give designer nails, a new boost. Even the bottle is new, with an ergonomic shape and rubberized cap that make it easy to grip, and a triangular-shaped brush for more flawless application and a (a real bonus for manicurists as well as DIY fans).

The new collection features 50 fashion-forward, creme colors, from nearly sheer and light, to opaque, black and midnight navy When you see them all together, it looks like a huge box of crayons--what fun! But what makes these colors even more unique is what you can do with them -- with 15 special "Effects." Apply one of the base colors, and watch the Effects coat do magic, changing the formula to a shine, shimmer, glitter, iridescent, perl, a mattifier, and more. The Effects are chameleons, that change the way the base creme color looks. For example, I sampled "Inkwell," a nearly black, navy. But when the "Sapphire Sparkle" Effects top coat was applied, the color changed from creme navy, to a slightly softer, mesmerizing, metallic that actually looked purple under different lights, depending upon how I moved my hands around. The editor next to me used the Crimson Sparkle Effect on her black nail polish, and it become a glowing ruby. The pearl and shimmer selections can make the polish completely different both lighter and darker. Your nail will look like no one else's, and you will love the way the Effects work. It's like wearing a color-changing jewel (like an alexandrite) on your fingernails!
This is such an easy way to make a polish, your own, and to have fun playing with color and formulas. Be your own "designer" and chance your nails, anytime you wish, any way you want. According to Jan Arnold, if you used the polishes and Effects in various ways (alone, over, under or mixed) you could have up to 5,000 different color options!
Each of the Colour creme Enamels is going to be $9.00, and $11.00 a bottle for the Effects. By the way, Creative Nail Design Nail polish cares for your nails, with long lasting, fast drying colors, and they're 3-free (no DBP, formaldehyde, or toluene--chemicals you don't want on your skin). The Effects colors won't launch until Late Fall, but meanwhile, visit the Creative Nail Design Web Site and see what other great products they have.
