CND celebrates 40th anniversary
CND is celebrating its 40th anniversary in the industry, with a limited-edition collaboration with Swarovski®.
Since 1979, CND has consistently led the category in innovation and passion. With the introduction of its CND SHELLAC® 14-day wear gel polish in 2010, CND became known for its flawless, high-gloss shine.
"Our goal has always been to not only stay on top of the trends we see every year, but also to showcase and elevate the art of nail design," said CND co-founder and style director, Jan Arnold. "As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, the passion and drive to take the industry to the next level is still just as strong as it was in the early days."
In celebration of the ruby anniversary, CND has chosen Swarovski® crystals as its exclusive nail embellishment for all 40th anniversary events. Celebrations include Premiere Orlando, an annual event where the worldwide beauty industry showcase new offerings to industry insiders, a range of consumer and press events, as well as creating a unique ruby crystal mix for CND’s 40th special prepack, to be sold exclusively in salon.
CND has also made the crystallised nail look accessible, with the launch of a limited-edition SHELLAC® version of its Ruby Ritz polish, available in August.

Olay testing sustainable packaging
The Procter & Gamble-owned skincare brand has announced at the 2019 Sustainable Brands Conference, it will be releasing a refillable version of its Olay Regenerist Whip Moisturiser.
The product, which is typically sold in a plastic jar, will launch with a refillable pod option made of recyclable materials, to be available for sale on olay.com in the U.S. and U.K. from October through December, a period of time that will allow the brand to gauge consumer interest in refillable skincare.
“If this is successful and appealing to the consumer and they want to adopt the habit, this could be really impactful. If we took five of our best-selling SKUs [in jars], and gave them a refillable option, that could reduce one million pounds of plastic waste a year," said Olay vice president, Chris Heiert.
