CND Vinylux, Founded in 1979, and based in California, USA, CND the world leader in professional nail, hand, and foot beauty, including SHELLAC nail polish, CND announced the launch of the VINYLUX® Long Wear Polish System, Polish Reinvented, in May 2013.
This unique two-part system features a self-adhesive color coat and a topcoat that uses new ProLight technology for increased durability with natural light exposure. For the first time in over 60 years, CND has changed the formula of what we consider a "traditional" clearcoat and created a revolutionary color that provides seven days of high gloss, no-sheen wear.
For CND, 2014 is all about color! In May 2010, they launched the CND Shellac line and it really took off on a global scale. A few years later, they launched their latest color innovation, the VINYLUX weekly polishing system, which works incredibly well. With these two unique color lines, CND is now able to cater to every woman. CND Shellac is perfect for the woman who can commit to a look for 2-3 weeks. On the other hand, there is the anxious customer who wants to change colors weekly, which is where VINYLUX comes in. It's truly the Pole reinvented.
While traditional nail polishes break down in about three days, VINYLUX does the exact opposite, lasting seven days without chipping! It consists of a self-adhesive color coat that eliminates the need for a base coat and a weekly top coat that gets harder with exposure to natural ambient light over time. You apply two coats of your favorite color, waiting one minute between coats, then apply the specially formulated topcoat. The topcoat is "cured" in natural light, which means no UV exposure is required. Where regular coatings take about 15 to 20 minutes to fully dry, CND says Vinylux will only require a total of eight and a half minutes to cure. Removal requires nothing more than swiping regular polish remover over the nails, no soaking here. This allows clients to change their look frequently and experiment with color.
Choose from over 150 high-performance shades and reinvent yourself every week. Each season, CND now unveils a new color fashion story with matching shades in CND Shellac and VINYLUX, as well as complementary Additives for a little extra sparkle. The whole notion of nail fashion has become very lively over the past few years. Nails are worn like jewelry or fashion accessories, and every season there's a new story and texture to play with. "The technology behind Vinylux allows you to discover flawless fashion a whole week at a time," says Jan Arnold, co-founder and style director of CND. "You can change colors because you want to, not because you have to."
