Review & Swatches: CND’s “Night Factory”: Urban Oasis and Teal Sparkle Nail Lacquers

When designers want of-the-moment nails to complement their fashions, they turn to Creative Nail Design (CND) for press-on nails in a range of edgy colors. CND now brings fashion week to us at home, not with press-on nails, but with a series of fifty Colours ($9 at cnd.com), solidly pigmented lacquers, and fifteen Effects ($11) which are shiny top layers that run the gamut of bling from pearl to outright sparkle.

CND's "Urban Oasis" with a layer of "Teal Sparkle" on top

For Fall/Winter 2010, CND has released the Night Factory Look, a pairing of Urban Oasis, a smooth blue-green, and Teal Sparkle, a opalescent disco ball in a bottle. Wear the denim-inspired Urban Oasis alone, recapturing the look at Malandrino’s Fall 2010 show, or lay down a coat of Teal Sparkle for a dose of femininity to balance a military style, as they did at L.A.M.B. Either way, if you’re looking for a little low-commitment trendiness, CND has got your answer in neat little hold-all package.
