On the Way to an A(+)
As part of its streamlined re-launch, CND has redesigned cnd.com to continue the company’s commitment to education, focusing on nail techs who’ve already graduated—with tip-top honors, of course! “It’s hard to reach every nail technician in the world, but this site provides round-the-clock access to real-time knowledge that professionals can use,” informs CND VP of marketing Kim Natale. Check out the “Just For Pros” portal, where nail techs can download a troubleshooting guide
and instructional nail gallery. With the March opening of CND’s Institute in Los Angeles, the company promises to continue its site updates, as
well as its commitment to give you one heck of an education.
