Blue Moon

Let’s begin with one of those stand out beauties. Blue Moon is the blue we have been waiting for! So much more glossy and rich when compared to Blue Eyeshadow, but still without a hint of shimmer. It makes me think of that incredible deep blue glaze we see on pottery.

Dreamcatcher

Such a pretty warm, creamy plum. Well, I guess it’s not ‘plum’ in the obvious sense.. but if you mashed some poached plums up in a bowl with thick double cream. We have nothing even close to this color in our existing collection.

Arrowhead

Now, this is essential. Arrowhead might not seem like the most exciting new color on first glance, but seriously, we have been missing a proper deep, creme/non-shimmer chocolate brown. It reminds me of an old classic CND color, Midnight Express. When applying Arrowhead, on the first layer, it’s obvious how warm a brown this is. It almost looks as if it has the slightest hint of pink in there, as if someone tipped a slug of raspberry sauce into the chocolate mixture while it was cooking.

Spear

Spear is an unusual color! An earthy, clay mud, tarnished peach kinda number. It’s going to look absolutely perfect on the right skin tone and be especially gorgeous on toes I think, as we head into the tail end of summer sandal season. You especially will love Spear with a matte finish.

Element

Hello Element! You cannot argue with another hot, gorgeous red. We all have clients who wear nothing but red, they NEED to be catered for in new collections. A new red might as well be a completely different color, it IS in their eyes. Of course we already have many reds in our collection, but when we consider that red is THE most classic nail color of all time, worn more consistently than almost every other color put together, it’s obvious why we need so many hot red options.

Brimstone

Ooooh, what an odd little color Brimstone is. I find it quite captivating. Definitely unusual. Is it yellow? Um, not exactly. When I first saw it I thought, aw naw, is it going to be really similar to Vagabond? But it’s just not, it’s so much more muted than that. Brimstone is like Vagabond and Cityscape had a baby. Seeing as Cityscape is my favorite color of all time, and Vagabond was my big surprise hit from the CND™ BOHO SPIRIT Collection, that’s just fine by me!


And, of course, it is not possible to ignore the new designs from CND:
