45 years of CND™ celebration in Barcelona

Mar 22, 2024 9:24:07 AM / by Patricia Andersen


From a dentist's patented invention to a multi-million nail business that revolutionized the nail industry. This year we celebrate 45 years of CND™ with the legendary co-founder Jan Arnold and the team.

This year, we go to celebrate all of the groundbreaking innovations by CND throughout the years. 

Contrary of what you see now, CND started with a humble invention of Dr. Stuart Nordstrom, a practicing dentist, who got the idea by listening to difficulties his nail professional customer had. The result was SolarNail™ Liquid, the industry’s first-ever monomer formulation for greater nail strength and flexibility—and the first product to deliver natural, non-yellowing nail color. After patenting it, two of his children decided to pursue this as a business, one of them Jan Nordstom-Arnold, who is with the company to this day. In those 45 year, CND has consistently delivered superior performance and safety products, SHELLAC™, PLEXIGEL™, and Odorless™ being some of the recent innovations you must have heard of.

Join us down the memory lane of high-performance products, cringy photos, and sometimes doubtful fashion choices. :)
