OPI’s NEW Chrome Effects and Infinite Shine Glaze Toppers
After seasons of barely-there manicures and minimalist nail looks, chrome is officially back in the spotlight.
CND’s new Shellac Luxe gel-polish is a two-step system featuring micro pores that allow remover to penetrate polish quickly, making it ready to remove in 60 seconds.


CND has introduced Shellac Luxe, a new two-step gel-polish system with a self-adhering all-in-one base and color coat and a high gloss top coat. It features unique micro pores that allow remover to penetrate polish quickly, making it ready to remove in 60 seconds. This means professionals will save 15 minutes on the length of a service, making it easier to fit more services in the day.

The new product formula is available in 65 shades, including 50 that match CND Shellac colors and 15 exclusive CND Shellac Luxe shades. It also features a new curve-hugging brush that has over 200 bristles for smooth and even application and full coverage.
Shellac Luxe will be available in August 2018. The product was revealed at CND’s experience-driven booth at Premiere Orlando in June 2018. See more from CND's Shellac Luxe booth experience here.
