OPI’s NEW Chrome Effects and Infinite Shine Glaze Toppers

CND adds a new product line to its roster and introduces Creative Play Nail Lacquer. The collection of nail polish debuts with 80 colors across 10 finishes including cream, holographic, glitter, metallic, metallic glitter, multi-color glitter, pearl, satin, shimmer, and transformer shades. The traditional three-step system features micronized pigments that deliver color intensity, smooth application, and a high-gloss finish.

“At CND, we are always looking for opportunities to elevate the standard in professional nail color,” says CND co-founder and style director Jan Arnold. “Creative Play Nail Lacquer plays with dimension, pops with pigments and pushes outside the boundaries. The new line redefines traditional nail lacquer with color that breaks the rules through emotive, energized shades that allow you to express your individuality.”

The new seven-free lacquers are formulated without toluene, camphor, formaldehyde, phthalates (DBP), formaldehyde resin, xylene, and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Each bottle includes an advanced brush designed with about 400 bristle ends for precise application. For more information, visit www.cnd.com.
