CND 2.0. CND Shellac Unveils New Colors

CND has expanded their Shellac line to include new colors. Please see the press release below.

November 2010 - CND will unveil 12 new Shellac shades in March 2011, with colors ranging from beige to black. This exciting addition expands the Shellac line to 24 chic shades plus countless layering options. Shellac addicts will now have more choices for the convenience of a 14-day manicure. "This new range features perennial classics and fashionable favorites to give salon-goers a wide variety," says Jan Arnold, CND Co-founder and Style Director.


Shellac's May 2010 launch spurred a major shift in the global nail industry. Unprecedented waitlists at salons around the world for this innovation have been the beauty equivalent of the much-buzzed-about iPad. If it doesn't say "CND" on the bottle, it's not Shellac. Shellac is hypo-allergenic and 3-Free (no formaldehyde, toluene or DBP), leaving a brilliantly shiny finish with maintenance-free wear and safely removes in 10-minutes. Shellac's status has instantly grown from 'cult following' to 'modern must-have.' Within one month of its introduction, Shellac sold out four times over.

nubar: Moire (Finest Silks Collection)

Hi there everyone! Today I have a gorgeous neutral shade to share with you courtesy of nubar. This is Moire from the Finest Silks Collection. It's described as a "light reddish brown" and I guess I can say that's accurate. It's got some reddish undertones for sure so it makes the taupe color of the polish a little more interesting. This is one of my favorite colors from the collection. It's perfect for work as well, which is always a plus for me.

The formula on this is superb. This is my first nubar polish and I love it. The brush is fantastic, makes application with the three stroke method a breeze. It's ideal in consistency, it glides on with ease. I didn't have a mess to clean up after and the color was opaque in two coats. I am in love!

What are some of your favorite nubar colors? Did you get any from the Finest Silks Collection?

Disclosure: This polish was sent to me for consideration. All reviews are done at my discretion and are 100% honest.
