CND Shellac – spring 2012 color swatches

These Six new CND Shellac colors to hit shelves March 2012

Behold, the 6 new colors from CND Shellac: Dark Lava, Rubble, Cityscape, Silver Chrome, Silver VIP Status, Gold VIP Status These are all indoor swatches I took just to get you the scoop.  I’ll be getting outdoor shots too.  What do you think of them?  The colors are going on sale in March so get your PRE-ORDERS to your distributors now!

Dark Lava

Gorgeous, jewel-toned black wine

Rubble

Cityscape

Dove Gray

Silver Chrome

The Effects – Silver VIP Status & Gold VIP Status

Ok, so it technically isn’t an Effect (that’s reserved for the lacquer line) but it serves in the same vein.  These lovelies give a wash of glimmer over color.

Silver VIP Status

Silver VIP Status over Cityscape

I NEED to get a better photo of this one.  When we were asked for fantasy Shellac colors, one of mine was the spectacular gray called Miss Wu from the Jason Wu collection done with CND.  It’s this cool and dreamy gray with a chic pearlization to it.  By applying Silver VIP Status over Cityscape, you can achieve a very similar look.  Without, you get a great cream.  It’s fabulous to have options.

Gold VIP Status over Rubble

Again, a sleek wash that just give a perk to the color.  Can be used all over or in art.  Try it in art!

That’s it for now.  I’ll be getting more photos together for you. Any other questions or requests on the product ask away.

Fashion Week is coming up and I’ll be detailing looks for you.  For on-the-go reporting I’d love if you would “Like” my Solessence Facebook page to keep up while I’m away!  Detailed how-tos will be posted to the blog after my return (and also closer to actual season as is my norm).

Sneak Peek: Six New Spring 2012 CND Shellac Colors & Salon Certification Program

2/2/12: The actual swatches are now up here: http://www.solessence.com/2012/02/03/cnd-shellac-spring-2012-color-swatches/

The six new colors for spring will be: Silver VIP Status (shimmer overlay), Gold VIP Status (shimmer overlay), Cityscape (creamy dove gray), Rubble (mushroom taupe), Dark Lava (stormy raisin), Silver Chrome (iron metallic)

CND‘s celebrated beauty innovation, CND Shellac Power Polish, is a lifesaver for modern women, thanks to its two-week flawless wear, zero-dry time and mirror shine. Now, CND is adding six gorgeous new shades to the line-up in March 2012. Whether you’re a classic taupe addict or a metallic iron maiden, with 36 shades there is a sophisticated look to suit all digit desires.

This summer, CND kicked off an intensive CND Shellac Salon Certification Program in the USA to ensure that women seeking a CND Shellac manicure service are getting what they ask for by a properly trained Nail Professional. To find a CND Shellac certified salon, visit CND’s Salon Locator at cnd.com. Look for CND Shellac Certified Salon signage and branding in order to find the “REAL” CND Shellac.

Say HELLO to the new colors:

CND Shellac - 6 shades, March 2012

CND Shellac comes off gently in ten minutes with convenient, hygienic CND Shellac Remover Wraps that limit skin exposure to acetone by keeping it pinpointed on the nail. CND Shellac color comes off from the inside out. The high-tech ‘quick release’ base coat causes it to flake into small pieces that gently slide off the nail without filing off the surface of the nail – unlike gels that require at least a half hour of soaking to remove.

Swatches: CND Colours & Effects – Primaries, Secondaries, Chromes

CND has a pretty fabulous line of lacquers called Colours & Effects.  Quick to dry (these are the same nail polishes used at Fashion Week) the colors are strong.  The best part about this system is the ease it gives the nail artist. 

PRIMARIES

Bicycle Yellow

 

Relay Red

 

Anchor Blue

Did you know that color is proprietary?  When mixing paints or polishes, companies have their Pantone combinations registered.  Now, take that same combo and move it a digit or two.  Voila!  Legally, you have a new color. This is why there are so many near dupes/repeats on the market. 

SECONDARIES

Electric Orange

Green Scene

Eclectic Purple

 

CND’s Colours & Effects creates a new game by providing 50 creme shades (Colours) and 15 accents (Effects) of shimmer, pearl and sparkle that can be paired to create nearly 900 colors. The only extra sets to come out are special partnerships, like the Jason Wu collection, or one hot trend per season. The Limited Editions are made as must-haves.

CHROMES

Gold Chrome

 

Copper Chrome

 

Silver Chrome

 

I’ve swatched the first main categories of Primaries, Secondaries and Chromes. If you haven’t tried this brand out you don’t know what you are missing! Check back for the complete swatch set of 50 cremes and 15 effects.
