If you’ve spent any time at all on Curls N Pearls, it becomes clear pretty quickly that I’m a big fan of both CND Shellac and GelColor by OPI (see here and here for starters). Over the summer CND announced the release of several limited edition special holiday items, and that included to new Shellac shades (joy!). Here’s the Shellac info from the press release:

Add some glamour to your holiday with the dazzling seasonal CND Shellac glitter colors! Glitzy Tinsel Toast and sparkling Ruby Ritz provide mirror shine and 14-day flawless wear that will last through all your holiday parties and gift unwrapping!

Professional service price: CND Shellac Manicures and Pedicures $30-60 US; cnd.com for salons

My favorite cosmetology shop called yesterday to let me know they’re now available, so here they are! They should be arriving at your nail salons soon, if not already.

I haven’t tried the new shades yet since I just did my nails, but check back for swatches soon.

In other excellent news for CND Shellac fans, next month brings the release of six additional vampy glam shades, bringing the total Shellac line up to 42 shades. (Woohoo!)

CND says . . .

CND launches six new shades of CND Shellac™, the original Power Polish, available November 2012. The new, luxe line-up features a range of rich tones accented with shimmering metallics designed to perfectly accessorize graphic florals, chromatic finishes and tea stained fabrics inspired by the top looks from the Fall 2012 Fashion Week runway.

CND Shellac is a professional salon service product. Manicure prices typically range from $25-$45 and pedicures from $40-$60 depending on location. Visit cnd.com to find a salon near you.

I can’t wait to get my paws on the new shades!
