CND The Look - Flesh Forward Spring/Summer 2011

Have you been following the latest spring/summer fashion trends... for nails?  CND aka Creative Nail Design is sharing their spring/summer nail trends:

Flesh Forward

Subtle tones of a summer skinny-dip suggest the new take on natural. The fashion trend where this new neutral really grooves is a deluxe remembering of the 70’s, a bit like riding the Marrakech Express through Beverly Hills with a stop at Barney’s. The once-folksy prairie skirt and poncho get an upgrade to first-class in sheer, modern fabrications, punctuated with avant-garde accessories inspired by visits to exotic souks, Paris flea markets and granny’s attic.

Diplomatic Darks

Summer doesn’t have to mean pastels and baby doll
frocks—there is, thankfully, a dark and sophisticated side
to the season. Newer than the solid-black nail: gorgeously
deep gem-tones infused with black, including Dark Ruby,
Inkwell and Oilslick. These lustrous, nearly-noir shades are
the perfect foil to summer fashions sizzling with shocking
shades of hot pink, fuchsia, magenta and glittering
burlesque brights.

Jason Wu

Womanly wiles, modern yet eternal, embodied in the first collaboration between CND and designer Jason Wu.
Five perennial must-haves (four subtly provocative Colours, one neutral texture Effect), named for five iconic women. Just one question: who is this Miss Wu we keep hearing about?

The Look - Perfectly Bare

Perfectly Bare, Perfectly Bare Shimmer

CND's limited edition duo of perfectly bare colour, a peachy skin-toned creme colour and perfectly bare shimmer, a gossamer veiled effect creates an iced cameo manicure
Features/Benefits:
- 3-free - no toluene, formaldehyde, or DBP (Dibutyl Phthalate)
- Rich and creamy, two-coat, fast drying formula My Thoughts: it dries as quick as if I had applied a fast-dry polish on top; in less than a minute the first coat dried and was ready for a second coat. 
- Ergonomically designed bottle with rubberized cap for no slip-grip and easy opening
- State-of-the-art brush with clear, triangular-shaped nylon bristles for flawless application My Thoughts: the brush truly is amazing and I wish all polishes had these brushes - the shape of it literally makes applying the polishes easier and quicker.  I found that I don't have to maneuver the brush in awkward angles to cover the curvature of my nails; plus the bristles don't spread out as wide as others, which prevents less boos-boos (polish getting on the skin around the nail beds).
