CND Creative Play Launches Summer 2019 Gel Polish Collection

Hello po! Last April 23, 2019 I had a pampering time out with CND Creative Play at Nailogy Robinson's Galleria! They are introducing the must have nail colors for this summer of 2019!

The CND Creative Play color selection features bold primary colors such as fire engine reds, bright yellows, subtle blues, gentle purples, cheerful pinks and lush greens. And with gel polish, your nails are sure to last through every fun summer activity!

Trends are driven by a combination of form and function.  Your nail statement has to be eye-catching as well as durable.

CND GEL POLISH SUMMER COLLECTION NAIL COLORS: Skinny Jeans, Isle Never Let You Go, Shady Palms, You’ve got Kale, Pumped, Bare Foot Bash, Tickled, Candycade, Bubba Glam, On a Dare, Drop Anchor, Taxi Please

So what's the IN nail trend?

"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 Arvin Amaro, CND Philippines Brand Manager.

Firstly, I like Nailogy Nail Skin Body Hair Spa Robinsons Galleria branch for its simple yet elegant interiors, comfy chairs, and has a nice room scent. There is also relaxing music piped in and free Wi-Fi is also provided. The staff are polite as well ensuring a good experience.

I opted to undergo CND Creative Play gel manicure (Php 620) with hand spa.

Here are the steps as I recall:

1. Choose polish color
2. Choose scrub flavor - peppermint/ citrus/ strawberry/ coffee (I asked for the first)

3. Scrub then rinse with warm water and liquid soap
4. Towel dry

5. Apply moisturizer then wrap arms in plastic

6. Choose between cut or file, she suggested semi square shape

7. Soak hands in water with blue liquid 

8. Used CND CuticleAway

9. Push cuticle and cut hangnail

10. Used CND ScrubFresh with cotton square

CND Service Essentials

11. Top coat then UV

Curing with CND led lamp

12. 1st color coat then UV

13. 2nd color coat then UV

I chose Bubba Glam for all my nails except for the ring finger, it's Tickled.

14. Top coat then UV

15. Massage in a drop of CND SolarOil to nails

Final result with CND Bubba Glam then Tickled on ring finger (it is almost similar shade pink but Tickled is paler and has shimmers).

Clean and dainty shades yet strong power nails for this simple lady.

With Ate Ann who rendered her service.
