CND Vinylux – Long Wear Nail Polish System

CND Vinylux | The Reinvented Long-Wear Polish

Founded in 1979 and based in California, USA, CND (Creative Nail Design, Inc.) is the global leader in professional nail, hand, and foot beauty. Known worldwide for innovations such as CND Shellac, the brand announced the launch of the CND VINYLUX® Long Wear Polish System – Polish Reinvented in May 2013.

A Unique Two-Step System

The CND Vinylux polish stands out with its revolutionary two-part formula:

a self-adhering color coat, eliminating the need for a base coat;
a weekly top coat enriched with ProLight Technology, which strengthens over time with exposure to natural light.

The result: intense shine and flawless wear for a full 7 days without chips or touch-ups.

A True Revolution in Nail Polish

For the first time in more than 60 years, CND has reinvented the formula of “traditional” nail polish. Unlike regular polishes that start to chip after 2–3 days, CND Vinylux becomes stronger over time.

Simple application: 2 color coats + 1 top coat.
Fast drying in just 8.5 minutes (instead of 15–20 minutes for standard polish).
No UV lamp required, the top coat cures naturally in daylight.
Easy removal with regular nail polish remover, no soaking needed.

Shellac or Vinylux: A Solution for Every Client

In May 2010, CND launched CND Shellac, which quickly became a global success. A few years later came CND Vinylux, their latest innovation in color, designed to perform exceptionally well and meet every need.

CND Shellac: perfect for clients who want a manicure lasting 2–3 weeks without retouching.
CND Vinylux: ideal for those who love to change their look every week.

With these two complementary ranges, CND caters to every style; from loyal clients who prefer lasting wear to fashion lovers who enjoy experimenting with new shades.

A Palette of Over 150 Shades

The CND Vinylux system now offers more than 150 high-performance colors. Each season, new trend-inspired collections are released, often matching CND Shellac shades for a complete experience. Nails have become true fashion accessories, just as expressive as jewelry.

“The technology behind Vinylux lets you enjoy flawless fashion one full week at a time,” says Jan Arnold, CND Co-Founder and Style Director. “You can change your color because you want to, not because you have to.”
