CND updates from the World Summit: Shellac, Brisa Lite, new LED Lamp
It’s been a long near year in the waiting, but exciting product developments mentioned by CND at the EA event in april 2012 are coming to light during the CND World Summit. An overview:
Shellac colors 2013
Not sure who swatched these but I think it was someone in the UK. The colors always look better than the promos.
23 Shellac colors will be released in 2013 (some limited edition):
- 5 for spring (see above photo)
- 4 for summer
- 6 for fall
- 2 holiday duos (for a total of four)
- 4 additional year end
New CND Brisa Lite
Two soakable gels are available now. Unlike current market products such as Calgel, BioSculpture or ManiQ, Brisa Lite has an advanced adhesion and requires no buffing of the natural nail.
Brisa Lite Smoothing
Have clients that have problems with peeling? Brisa Lite Smoothing will do the trick. This thin, protective layer applies just like Shellac for added strength underneath your Shellac applications. Soak off time is 15 minutes.
Brisa Lite Sculpting
Brisa Lite Sculpting adds strength and length. This also requires no buffing of the natural nail and is an option for extensions for your e-file adverse clients. Soak off time is 30 minutes.
Shellac can be worn over enhancements, and Brisa Lite is no exception. New education will be incorporating how to properly apply Brisa Lite.
New LED lamp for Brisa/Brisa Lite/Shellac
This has been in the works for a while, and you may have seen some evolution with your Shellac. The new lamp will cure all three products now, but is not scheduled to come out until summer 2013. No pricing, photos or other details are available.
New tagline
A new tagline was also announced, which seemed oddly familiar?
New Lacquer Line
Colours & Effects was discontinued, and you’ve probably seen it on clearance. A brand new line of polishes should be debuting. Will update when information is released.

She’s got the look: Rachel Weisz, Vidal Sassoon hair at Golden Globes
Rachel Weisz took on a “very old Hollywood glamour” look at the Golden Globes, as styled by Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Celebrity Stylist Ben Skervin
Ben Skervin sought to channel sexy 1930s hair to compliment Weisz’ Louis Vuitton dress. Her red lips and nail tips were pretty smashing as well.
Thanks to Vidal Sassoon Pro series for sharing the step with Solessence readers so we can try this at home!
Here’s how Ben suggests getting the look:
- Starting with damp hair, apply Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Heat Protect & Shine Spray and blow-dry hair straight.
- Once hair is dry, tuck hair behind left ear. On that same side, take small sections and curl hair down a 1-inch barrel curling iron.
- After 20 seconds, remove the iron and pin the section in a roll while it cools. Repeat this process until the whole head is curled.
- Then, on the untucked side, repeat the same process but with a ½-inch curling iron to give a stronger wave around the face.
- Once all the hair cools, remove the pinned sections and brush hair into a soft, sexy wave.
- To keep hair tucked behind the ear, apply a small amount of Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Mega Firm Hold Gel.
- Lastly, lightly mist with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extra Firm Hold Hairspray to hold the style in place, leaving it with a sleek, finished look.
Best EVERYTHING: Kate Hudson
Done. #goldenglobes
She’s got the look: Sparkling Burnt Orange Almonds
The almond nail shape is a favorite for this singer, but the color choice was a bit unusual for the red carpet. To be fair, it could be photography. Who is this envelope pusher (and opener)?
New mama and Golden Globe winner Adele! Congratulations.

She’s got the look: Jennifer Lawrence, Dior, Dove and Sally Hansen
“This is Dior Haute Couture. I don’t know what haute means, but I had to say it.” – Jennifer Lawrence on her Golden Globes dress
Jennifer Lawrence set tongues on fire when she showed up on the red carpet in a stunning Dior gown with gold metallic belt, one of two Dior gowns she was rumored to be musing over. I don’t quite get the “cup” holders, but it’s pure glamour, nonetheless. Dove Celebrity Stylist Mark Townsend focused on hair to accent the silhouette of the dress, and shares with Solessence readers how to get this look:
“When I saw Jennifer’s Dior Couture gown I immediately knew I wanted to pull her hair up to accentuate the amazing silhouette of the dress.
- Start by applying a large dollop of the Dove Style+Care Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse to damp hair and dry with a diffuser attachment to encourage natural curls.
- Next, take random sections of hair and spray Dove Style+Care Strength & Shine Flexible Hold Hairspray before wrapping the hair around a 1/2 inch curling iron to enhance the curls.
- Spray Oribe Dry Texture spray all over and scrunched with hands.
- Take 3 to 4 inch sections of hair around the hairline and loosely braid before pulling all the hair back into a low chignon. Secure with bobby pins.
“As always, I finished with the Dove Style+Care Strength & Shine Extra Hold Hairspray to keep the hair in place all night.”
