Vinylux is here!
Well CND
never ceases to amaze me. Their products are always at the forefront of
technology (the main reason I use their products in the salon if I am honest)
and they are always meeting the needs of clients. Nearly 5 weeks
ago they launched CND Vinylux – a nail polish that lasts up to 7 days chip
free with proper aftercare - can this be true?
Well the
proof, as they say, is in the pudding so on a recent family holiday I
tested this product on my 4 young nieces and my sister – the nail biter! Sure
enough I found they lasted much longer than traditional polish. One niece had
chip free nails for 4 days despite being in and out of a swimming
pool and in kids clubs, which is nothing short of a miracle. The biter
lasted two days before they were nibbled, you can’t win them all!!
The other
dream about this polish is that it doesn't require a base coat, just two coats
of polish then top coat and in 8.5 minutes nails are dry and good to
go! Believe me I tried this and it dries so quickly I have to be fast applying
the polish to keep up!
The CND Vinylux Top Coat is the magic behind this new product. It actually hardens the polish more and more each day with the contact with UV light. No other top coat works with CND Vinylux that produces the 7 day chip free benefit - I have tried!

Who will
this appeal to? This isn't a replacement for Shellac as its a different type of
product. Vinylux is ideal for clients with healthy natural nails, those that
like changing the colour of the nails frequently, clients who work in
environments where nail colour is not permitted (nurse and nursery nurse
clients this one’s for you!). Also if clients normally wear Shellac but want to take
a breather from it, Vinylux can be the replacement for that night out in between.
There are
62 colours to choose from with 32 from the Shellac range of colours so
you can even use this as a cover for your Shellac to extend the length of that
treatment when your Shellac starts to grow out at the base.
The Wax
Factor will be providing a Vinylux Fingernail File and Polish service at £10
(treatment time 15 minutes) Bookable on the online appointment diary so ideal
for clients that can’t get in the diary for Shellac as it’s a much shorter
treatment time. This is an express service so no cuticle work will be undertaken and this reflects the treatment price.
The only thing I have found is CND Vinylux is great on healthy nails, they don't have to be long just healthy. If you have ridges on your nails or have had nail extensions on and your nail plate is not smooth CND Vinylux is not like Shellac - it wont cover the grooves:( I would not recommend CND Vinylux for these clients. This applys also for ridged toes.
CND Vinylux is also great on toes but again clients with ridges will not get the coverage with CND Vinylux.
Toes are also £10 but its a file and polish express service - if the client requires clipping for the toes nails because of excess length then those clients will have to upgrade to the Deluxe CND Vinylux Service at £15 as this is an extended service.
If clients require their Shellac removed prior to CND Vinylux application the standard charge of £5 to remove Shellac apply's.

The other
great thing is The Wax Factor are also retailing the CND Vinylux Colour Polish for clients
to purchase and take home!
Until 30th
June 2013 The Wax Factor has a special introductory offer of One Vinylux Colour
Polish and One Vinylux Top Coat for £16.95, a saving of £3.00. Please note the
top coat is only applied once as it’s a weekly top coat so this will last a
long time. You must use the CND Vinylux Top Coat with your Vinylux as they are
specifically designed to complement each other – if you use another top coat it
won’t work as its not compatible with the Vinylux system and you wont get the 7 day chip free.
Vinylux
Colour Polish and Vinylux Top Coats retail at £9.99 which is comparable to
other high end polishes on the market that don’t have the longevity of CND
Vinylux.
I have a
really good feeling about this product and I think being it will be launched
just before the summer months, so this is ideal for clients to try a new
Nail Treatment from The Wax Factor where we strive to bring you the most up to
date products launched on the market!
We are also
retailing mini kits with 4 colours and weekly top coat which is ideal for
holiday nails to change with your outfits and gifts for children as the smaller
bottle makes it easier to paint smaller
Next time
you are in The Wax Factor ask for one of your nails to be test painted and see
what I mean!
