From the classic red nails of the ’50s to the staid neutral palette of the ’60s, nail trends have had quite the evolution. We’ve moved on from eye-catching metallics gracing fingertips in the ’70s and fluoro and neon hues in the ’80s before going with deep and angsty hues in the ’90s.
The turn of the century, meanwhile, saw a major departure from the colors of past decades and was replaced by dainty French manicures and demure nude hues. It wasn’t long before colorful tints and fanciful patterns started to make its way back onto everyone’s fingertips with intricate nail art.
So, where are we now when it comes to nail trends? Are we into warmer and more vibrant hues? CND’s Creative Play collection sees it differently.
“We’re still big fans of the elaborate techniques showcasing beautiful nail art popularized in recent years; or the classic colors and hues that are trademarks of great eras, but we find the creativity behind the return of basic and bold hues very refreshing,” says CND brand manager Arvin Amaro.
For CND, the trends of today are driven by a combination of form and function. Manicures still need to make a statement, but that’s difficult to do when your fingertips are dripping with rhinestones, after all. That’s why they’re urging more people to highlight color instead. Not only that, they have to be as durable as they are eye-catching.
This all seems like a pretty tall task for nail polish, but CND is here to make things easier with its color selection.
The CND Creative Play collection features bold primary colors, from bright yellows to cheerful pinks; fire engine reds to lush greens; subtle blues and gentle purples. It’s a selection that fits every style and every mood.
As for function, CND says that it has that covered, as well. Taking into account that summer is a season defined by a lot of activities and fun, people want their nail statements to hold. To that end, they offer gel polish as the way to go. Fortunately, CND’s Creative Play collection is a gel polish collection that guarantees your nails last.
So, what’s your nail statement going to be?
Visit CND branches at the Robinsons Place Ermita, Robinsons Galleria or Hypermart Pasig, and be sure to ask for the brand’s CND Creative Play summer collection. You may also simply go ahead to your local Nailogy branch for the ultimate full-service treatment.
