Twice a year, we take our inspiration from the fashion catwalks where CNd’s Team red awes even the jaded fashion world with nails customized to major designer collections (hello, Louis Vuitton!). For those special runway nails, our team deconstructs, bends, destroys and reinvents every notion about nails. The runway serves as our style “lab” where we bring to life outrageous ideas about texture, finish and color. Now we’re bringing these breakthroughs directly to
you, and offering even more ways to thrill and thrill again!
This fall, look for beautiful
classics renewed. Look for
bold beauty elements from
the 40’s to return—matte
red lips, pin-curled hair,
lined eyes and crescent
moon manicures in every
shade of dark. designer
interpretations of this trend
include: threeASFoUr with
black spiky moons, ruffian
with large nude moons
against a rich dark red base
and Thakoon with round
white moons against a pitch-
black nail bed.
Sculpted urban clothing
creating a structured silhouette
with a graphic rock vibe is a
strong trend demanding high-
style nails with our “ombre”
manicure. Subtle gradations
from lighter to dark, from
pinkie to thumb are paired
with line-smudged eyes and
pale highlighted cheeks.
designers who chose this look
include: Kai Kühne, Costello
Tagliapietra, Yigel Azrouel
and behnaz Sarafpour.

Come! Just a heartbeat ago, nails
were painted baby-pink or cherry-red.
That’s it. Today there are no rules to color. The black nail has become
the new neutral in Kansas, concrete-gray is a classic in NYC and the
cool white nail is as easy as the California attitude. one thing that
nails never have to tolerate again, regardless of their zip code?
boring, cookie-cutter, “me too” color.
Thanks to our new line of CNd Colour and effects, clients can have their nail color exactly the way they want it—straight-
up or with depth, dimension or pure bling. how many times have you found a shade you loved, but wished it didn’t have shimmer or pearl in it? Now...there’s no more wishing! by separating Colour from effects, you have smart color at your fingertips! The new CNd Colour range is perfect...not a million colors, just the rIghT colors!
When you’re in the mood to accessorize, you have a myriad of choices. You decide when you want a little more or a little less, like when it’s right to wear an Lbd (little black dress) with nothing but a great pair of shoes, versus piling on the diamonds. It’s a mood thing. We get it! It makes buying a bottle of
standard polish with every whim seem old-fashioned. If customizing your Colour and effects isn’t enough nail gratification, now you can choose your finish too! go from super shine to full matte with new Super matte Top Coat to de-gloss polish for a suede-subtle surface. Technically “dull,” yet anything but!
I’m almost sleepless over the possibility of rocking fierce elongated pointed nails with a “rubberized” effect (blackjack with Super matte), making them deliciously dark and dull, then splashing dots of insane gloss (Super Shiney™) in a random pattern…hmmm, or do I want to use my favorite Sapphire

evenings grow longer, so do my nails. I crave As the
longer, sleeker and edgier everything! here are some of my favorite fall indulgences.
What if you had a nail
color line that offered you
and your clients endless
options? If you could choose
the perfect shade and then
layer on the finish of YoUr
choice? We’ve all lusted for
the perfect color equation.
We find the perfect pink, but
hate the shimmer in the color.
or we love the opalescence
we see in a certain bottle,
but can’t find it in tandem with our favorite shade.
The search is over! CNd
proudly introduces our new
Colour line, which places
complete customization
into your hands. With 50
new crème Colours and 15
new effects, you can now
offer clients a new level of
versatility and personalization
that will help cement their
loyalty and help grow your
business. Think of it this
way: the crème Colours are
the wardrobe; the effects
are the accessories.
our core Colour collection
consists of 50 luscious
crèmes that include warm,
neutral and cool tones to
complement all skin types
(in sheer, semi-sheer and
opaque), bold, primary and
secondary shades, plus
three must-have chrome
metallics. We consulted
with our hue-gurus to find
just the right shades for
every skin tone, every
personality. These now
become the foundation
for classic looks–a wide
range of nail wardrobe
staples.
The perfect polish application always begins and ends with the perfect base and finish. our new Colour line works beautifully in tandem with all of our fabulous base coats and top coats, including the newest addition to the line-up: Super matte Top Coat. It offers a satin finish with a twist—no shine! Like a cozy sweater, it blankets Colour
with a smooth, subtle finish
that protects wearability and
exudes quiet confidence or
crazy coolness depending on
the shade layered below.
We know you will enjoy
experimenting with new
Colour and effects as much
as we have enjoyed creating
them for you. Play-time has
officially begun!

We all want to provide client satisfaction the first time,
every time, don’t we? up until now that could be a challenge
with the final touch of most nail services: polish.
Create a Signature Service with CNd Colour and effects? why yes! The perfect addition to any salon
menu, a signature service creates a true
experience, commands a premium price
and sets your salon apart from the crowd.

old way Your client picks a color. You finish the service and notice the grimace on their face as they look at their nails. In your quest for customer satisfaction you remove the color and begin again.
new way With a spin of the new CNd Colour Wheel, you can easily choose a Colour based on your client’s skin tone, then use effects to “accessorize” based on their fashion preference. With seemingly endless combinations, you both see the results before they’re brushed onto the nails.
So, you ask,
“how do i determine my client’s skin tone?”
It’s simpler than you may think! begin by analyzing the skin on the inside of their wrist (or any area not exposed to the sun).
do you see yellow, orange or olive undertones? do their veins appear green? do they prefer gold jewelry? If so, they are warm skin toned. Warm tones look best with earthy colors like brown, beige, peach, orange, bronze and brick red.
do you see pink or blue undertones? does the client
have bluish veins? do they favor silver jewelry? If so, they are cool skin toned. They look best in jewel tones, charcoal, yellow, raspberry, navy and blue-red.
If it’s difficult to tell, they may be neutral-toned. Lucky them, they can wear just about any color, so go ahead and play!
once you have determined your client’s skin tone, it’s time to find a perfect Colour match. You’ll find a helpful visual on the bottom label of every bottle of Colour and effects. It tells you if it’s sheer, semi-sheer or opaque and whether it’s warm, neutral or cool, making
begin by selecting the ideal service for the season. For fall we suggest the warm and inviting “escape duet” featuring Almond Spamanicure™ and earth SpaPedicure™ (also offer a beautiful set of brisa™ gel enhancements for gorgeous natural nail protection as the seasons change).
Now, make it truly unique: add a Colour consultation. discuss your client’s skin tone, style and personality, then invite her to visit your Colour blending bar (a.k.a. your new CNd Colour display) to select her perfect signature combo. With over 800 combinations, the options seem endless. Tell the client her bottle of Colour is your gift with the service (no doubt she’ll want to purchase an effect for at-home options).
Your Signature Service should be priced above a regular service to allow for the Colour’s cost and your consultation services. Charge as much as your market conditions permit.
Marketing tip #1: Launch your new Signature Service in style with a “Colour Playstation” in-salon event. Invite your entire client base to mix and mingle, preview your newest service and create their own signature Colour combinations (check out our customizable Colour event postcard at cnd.com/salonresources). don’t forget to invite the local press...they like to play too, and are always looking for fun local news.
Marketing tip #2: download our CNd Colour video from cnd.com to show in your reception area and at your “Colour Playstation.” It will sell Colour and effects for you!
Marketing tip #3: “Party up” your retail area prior to your event, making sure you have plenty of retail stock, holiday favors, gift packs and gift certificates for purchase so you’ll reap the full rewards of a truly memorable Signature Salon experience–courtesy of CNd and YoU!
CNd is one of very few professional brands to go truly “3-Free”; (1) no Formaldehyde, Formalin or Formaldehyde resin, (2) no Toluene and (3) no dbP (dibutyl Phthalate). What does that mean to you? A safe formula with the best feel, flow and finish.
CNd dedicates its r&d resources toward development of safe products using effective ingredients, and this new line is no exception. our 3-Free formulas are cutting-edge, utilizing the latest in safe ingredient technology. We’ve even gone 3-Free with all of our treatments, including new Super matte Top Coat.
better ingredients, better formulation and a new concept make this a very exciting time in Colour. The greatest improve- ment will be obvious the first time you apply Colour and effects. our new formula dries 55% faster on average than previous formulas, placing it among the
industry leaders in dry time.
We didn’t stop at formula; we went back to the drawing board to redefine the bottle, cap and brush. The bottle’s ergonomic shape rests easily in your palm and the cap has a “soft touch” rubberized surface for comfort. The new brush incorporates a flat shape with new technology using triangular-shaped hairs that align with one another to create a flat brush surface that conforms to the nail, laying down an even layer of polish.
Great bottle, great brush, great formula and amazing range. It’s not rocket science, but it certainly is a giant step for-ward in the world of Colour!
