A few of you are asking about Asphalt color swatch. I don’t think my search is that defined on the site, but here is a sample. It looks the same in Shellac, which is the bottom photo (matte out). What are you planning on doing with your color?
How would you like the CND Shellac color shades right at your fingertips? You can now, with the new Shades color chart that will be available to licensed professionals late April.
Each chart has:
Each color is numbered, and when you flip the chart around you’ll see the color or color combinations used.
This is perfect for the salon! What are you waiting for? Register at CND.com to get your mitts on one of these from their store when they come out.
One of my fav looks of late, this Cosmic Showers Asphalt Shellac. A stunner on these natural nails. What have you been up to?
Hi Everyone, I know you’ve been patiently waiting for Shellac swatches and I want to say Thank You. I have been swamped at work but started them thanks to a little help from friends (Hi Ingrid!). Look for back on this post in the next few days. In the meantime, here is a bit of a teaser:
Studio White: This soft white makes for the most natural French ever! It is also very easy to work with compared to Cream Puff. I just got it in and have done 5 french so far. Very pretty.
Zillionaire (over pinky nail): glitter with red, blue and gold flecks.
Asphalt: Just like the CND Asphalt polish. I recommend stocking up on retail if you are a nail tech, because your clients can buy a bottle for toes or for extending wear. This is a hothothot color for fall/winter!
Hotski to Tschoske*: Oy, I think I spelled that wrong. But it is a very bright teal. *hotski to tchotchke
Moonlight & Roses: This is like Beau on steroids. Same white frost bits but with red/pink sheen. It really makes a glow to the nails and looks fab with studio white (see above too).
Purple Purple: Photographed blue here, but a gorgeous dark purple. I liked it much more than I thought I would.
Check back for swatches.
First Asphalt! 8/24

There are changes to the packaging front & one side this fall 2011.
FRONT CND SHELLAC
I always tell my clients that the term Shellac is now used for a 2 week manicure in the way Kleenex is to tissues or Xerox is to copying. It’s treated as a catchall! If it isn’t CND, it isn’t the patent pending Shellac. Looky what’s on the cover of the boxes now!
The miniscule color identifier is on the bottom of the front. The sales clerk and I didn’t realize it was there.
SIDE CND SHELLAC
The other change is to the side of the box. They’ve removed the fantastic large print stating the color. It was so easy to confirm you had picked up the right color, and it was probably easier to stock. Life goes on.
NEW! The header tab at top of the page contains swatches
