CND SS18 : Collection Review

Ahhh the new CND SS18 collections have dropped down at  https://www.sweetsquared.com/ & http://lovecnd.com/  and they are worth the hype! For those of you who don’t know who CND are - they’re the makers of the one and only CND Shellac. 

They’re one of my favourite brands to work with and create products for professional use. If you’re new to the Shellac Manicure definitely book in as it’s one of the best non-damaging long wear products on the market (no buffing of the nail is required and cuticle oil penetrates through the product allowing you to keep your nails in tip top condition!)

Just in time for this gorgeous summery weather here’s my review of the new shades! 

CND Shellac Boho Spirit Collection 

This new range is all about the boho vibes! 4 super summery shades which together create a sizzling collection! CND suggests creating these very quirky looks with the new range and I am loving the feel of this holiday and boho inspired collection : 

Vagabond 

Vagabond is a mustard retro shade which goes on quite nude and warms into a gorgeous mustard tone. This is actually my favourite shade from the new collection. 

Uninhibited 

Uninhibited is a sweet soft peach. Ideal for that inbetween spring / summer time of year. I absolutely love the shade which has a really pretty hue. 

Gypsy 

Gypsy is a terracotta sort of orange with muted tones. I prefer this to CND’s Electric Orange as it’s just a little softer but still really striking. 

Offbeat 

Offbeat is a gorgeous new jelly pop  red! It’s similar to Lobster Roll but goes on a bit more like a jelly finish. Red is my most popular colour for manicures so I’m excited to have more options !

CND Chic Shock SS18 : Vinylux 

Chic Shock also launched recently at Sweet Squared  (the best distributor of CND products in the UK! ) and this pastel spring inspired collection is beautiful ! It’s worth noting that these new shades have a new revamped Vinylux formula.

Not only is Vinylux a long wearing nail polish but it’s now got nourishing benefits, a caring complex of : 

Keratin

Jojoba Oil

Vitamine E

The new formulas also have a revamped Italian designed ergonomic brush for easy application. Win win!  

Candied 

Candied is a perfect pastel pink. Pretty for spring and summer and creating retro vibe abstract nails! 

Taffy 

Taffy is a pretty pastel blue! 

Gummie 

This is a pretty lavender blue tone. 

Jellied 

Jellied is cool yellow. 

My verdict?  The new CND /Sweet Squared spring summer ranges are just gorgeous! Another winning collection from one of my favorite brands. If you’re a manicurist I would 100% recommend them to your clients! They’re fun and summery and will brighten up your collection :) 

Below I’ve created a little Rainbow Summer manicure using CND Shellac Base Coat/ 2x Coats Grapefruit Sparkle / all 4 shades from Boho Spirit / Express 5 Topcoat and after wiping tacky layer the 4 Chic Shock Vinylux shades applied using the Lecente S1 Brush : 

Here’s a clearer image of all 8 shades together (the top row are the Shellac Boho Spirit shades and the bottom row, the Chic Shock Vinylux shades ) : 

If you’re looking to get ahold of these shades for your salon/clients you can find them at the official UK distributer for CND  https://www.sweetsquared.com/ & http://lovecnd.com/
