The best thing about nail design is that there’s  so much variety in both colour, style and finish.

Take the  finish for example. Gone are the days when a shiny top coat was pretty much the only option; you can now instantly switch up or add extra ‘oomph’ to a design by simply experimenting with the top coat.

Whether you’re looking for a matte, glitter, pearl or shiny finish... the options are endless!

Shiny

                                        

                                               

You can’t go wrong with a classic shiny finish. Many of us (and our clients) love a shiny top coat to really complete the manicure. By adding  Light Elegance Super Shiny Top Coat or CND Shellac UV Top Coat, you're able to create a finish so shiny, you’ll need sunglasses just to look at them!

Glitter

                                                 

Adding a little sparkle is the finishing touch to any glamorous party look. CND Shellac Glitter Top Coat will dazzle up your nails (whatever the colour), ready for that special occasion!

Matte

                                             

A matte finish is stylish and sophisticated, so it’s no surprise that this style is becoming more and more popular in salon. Essentially a shine free manicure, matte look takes any design up a notch. Try  CND Shellac Matte Top Coat or Lecenté Create Matte Top Coat Gel Polish.

Pearl

                                                   

Want to introduce your clients to something really unique?  CND Shellac Pearl Top Coat creates a luminous opalescent radiance giving you that dreamy pearl like finish.

Gel Like Effect

                                                       

This is one for the Vinylux lovers. The  CND Vinylux Gel-Like Effect Top Coat provides a gel-like shine and thickness, lasting up to seven days. It’s a great product for at-home touch ups and a must have for the re-applications!
