Dear Nail Professional,

We’ve taken an exciting new approach to our fashion reporting. The big idea: to bring you more big trend news in real time, as it happens on the runway, with the how-to’s, tools and techniques which enable you to immediately offer these same high-fashion nail concepts in wearable ways that will thrill your clients.

We hand-selected the top four, most directional designers in NYC and London who are making news and setting trends as our partners for the Fall/Winter 2013 season. The partners we chose are perfectly aligned with CND and our commitment to innovation and creativity.

The nail we envisioned for Alexander Wang, had a modern, cool aura that we call ENIGMA. The attitude of this nail is subtle, mysterious, and finished with pearlized matte. One of our favorite textures for the nail of this season is an eroded sandstone surface, which complimented the fragility of Alexander Wang’s new collection which captures the feel of cashmere, angora and mohair, luxuriant yet airy-light as a snowflake.

The real “killer” trend this season: we call it we’re calling FORBIDDEN, interpreted for

Fashion Week Recap with Jan Arnold

The Blonds’ new collection which references classic horror films: “The Birds” by Alfred Hitchcock, and “The Shining” by Stanley Kubrick.

The Blonds dressed their models like Hitchcock’s famous ice-blondes themselves, with retro-femme wasp-waists and pointed pumps. But we all know how a ladylike demeanor can mask a deadly destiny, so we made FORBIDDEN nails dagger-long and pointed for the runway.

For the most regal Fall and Winter interpretation of these ideas, we collaborated with Michael van der Ham during London Fashion Week. Our baroque, hammered metal nail-effects are royal, yet distressed— a fallen queen in tattered finery.

And, sometimes girls just wanna have fun. Creatures of the Wind took inspiration from the punk anarchy of 1980s downtown color-clash, so CND created the look we call SECRET ALPHABET. We paired contrasting tones like electric orange and lime with flat matte gray and heather pink, punctuated by frenetic graffiti squiggles.

Be sure to check out our new LOOKBOOK concept, which will be virtual-only, and more fabulous than anything you’ve ever held in your gorgeous hands.

As always, nails rule! And so do you.
