CND at New York Fashion Week – Day 1 Giveaway
Thursday was the first official day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and CND worked with designers Jenni Kayne, Irina Shabayeva and Wayne. The looks of the day were grown-up grunge, chocolate velvet, and textured tough.
From a multi-layered neutral to a mattified vamp to architectural nail art, there was quite a diverse range of nail styles to choose from. See which design was my fave of the day and win the products used to create it. |
CND & ALU New York Fashion Week Giveaways
New York Fashion Week is off and running and this season I’ve teamed up with CND to bring you a week of fashion themed giveaways. As one of the foremost authorities on fashion forward nail styles, CND and its co-founder Jan Arnold have helped make nail color as much a part of each season’s fashion stories as the clothes themselves.
Beginning today I will be sharing the backstage scoop on the looks created by the CND team for each day of Fashion Week. I will select my favorite and put the polishes used to create that look up for grabs in a daily giveaway. Tune in every day after 8am EST for your chance to win. Just comment on that day’s post before Midnight EST to be entered in the giveaway. Sound fun? |
Say Hello To The New CND Shellac Colors & Help Me Choose
New York Fashion Week begins on Thursday and I will be flying into NYC on Friday to cover the Fall 2011 backstage beauty trends. This is my 6th season reporting live from NYFW and it is just as much of a thrill as it was the first time I went. It’s such a privilege to be invited backstage and I just love seeing how nails play into a designer’s story and how it completes the look of their “woman.”
CND is a a pioneer when it comes to incorporating nails and fashion thanks to Co-Founder Jan Arnold. She is the reason designers consider nails an integral part of their overall runway look. Shortly after Fashion Week, CND will be launching their twelve new Shellac shades and while I’m in the city I’ll have to chance to wear one of them. That’s right, instead of doing my standard NOTD challenge, I’m taking the easy way out wearing Shellac. The problem I have is deciding on a color. There is one I’m leaning towards but I’m asking you to help me choose. |
CND Sparkling Effects Holiday Duo
Have you missed me Fanatics? I’ve missed you. This ALU post outage was brought to you by the letters “T” “W” and “C” (Time Warner Cable). Apparently my modem was so ancient the tech was amazed it still worked. Obviously TWC can’t say “I’m right on top of that Rose.” a la Christina Applegate in Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead.
Venting aside I have a fun holiday item to share with you from CND. If you haven’t picked up the vibe already, Holiday 2010 is one big old glitter party. And in the case of the CND Silver & Gold Sparkling Effects Duo, all that glitters IS gold (and silver). These two limited edition Effects, one cool & one warm, are sure to add the right kick of glam to your holiday manicures. This set is just one of the many prizes included in the Think Pink – Donate & Win Giveaway so keep reading for a glimpse at what you could win. |
NYFW SS11 – Backstage at Binetti with CND & OCC Cosmetics
Every season at NYFW I look forward to the Binetti show because there is always something happening on the nails and this year it was all about the Cocktail Ring Nail. Diego Binetti appreciates and understands the importance nails play in a woman’s overall look and he looks to the creative mind of CND’s Jan Arnold to bring his inspiration to life. As in season’s past, the nails at Binetti incorporate nail art and new, unique layering combinations from the CND Colour & Effects line including one combo that stopped me in my tracks.
