CND Introduces Vinylux Weekly Nail Polish
CND's Vinylux Weekly Polish will launch with 62 fashion-forward colors on May 1, 2013. Shellac fans will be happy to know that 30 of the company's popular Shellac shades will be available in Vinylux. The Weekly Polish goes on just like regular polish (no UV curing) and according to the company it dries in about eight and a half minutes. The cool part is that the patent-pending Pro Light Technology in the Vinylux Weekly Top Coat is formulated to become more durable when exposed to natural light, so it actually strengthens its resistance to chips as your nails are exposed to ambient light throughout the week.
