CND – 2014 Discontinued Product


Read it and weep.

The list for CND discontinued products for 2014 has surfaced, and the whittling down of Shellac colors have begun.  The strangest choice?  Silver VIP, used almost daily by every tech I know, and loved by clients.  I can’t even wrap my head around how the chunky, multi-colored Zillionaire is a suitable replacement.

Moonlight & Roses and Iced Coral were both great for layering, but I’ve seen this color phased out in other lines and wonder if it is a situation with the materials needed for these types of colors.

Mother of Pearl gave a nice, small grade, multi color glitter effect.  You can find a dup in Glitter by Gel II.

Go out and grab your favorites before they are all gone.  You can see that many were phased out beginning last October, and have hit sold out status.Whatever you find at the distributor will be the dregs of the barrel.

What will you miss most?

Grammys 2014: Queen Latifah

Want to recreate Pantene Brand Ambassador Queen Latifah’s GRAMMY Award’s coiffure?  Iasia Merriweather, her “hair-person-in-charge” shares how:

 

 

Glamming-up Queen Latifah’s fresh, new bob for the GRAMMY Awards began, as always, with a gentle shampoo followed by a moisturizing conditioner- “my GRAMMY winners, Pantene Pro-V’s Smooth and Sleek Shampoo and Conditioner – both must-haves along with frequent maintenance and deep conditioning to maintain hair’s moisture, elasticity, and promote growth.  With the Queen’s hair prepped and primed, GRAMMY make up and wardrobe choices reviewed, I set out to create what I called the ‘GRAMMY Glam-Bob!’ The result: a FLAWLESS, yet minimalistic, bob with a hint of shape-defining volume to highlight layers and add direction!”

 

 GET THE LOOK

1.       Prep dampen hair for blow-drying by applying Pantene Pro-V Smooth Blow-dry Crème.  Once hair is dry, apply Pantene Pro-V Smooth with Argan Oil Shine Serum and begin working from back to front, in sections, flat ironing hair straight. Once hair is straight, side part and brush to smooth.

2.       Starting at the crown of the head and working in sections, position flat iron at the base of each section and move flat iron in a semicircular or curved motion to create large loose bends in hair. Work from top to bottom and repeat process for each side of part.

 

3.       Gently hand comb loose curls then brush to smooth being mindful of maintaining volume and defining shape. Finish with Pantene Pro-V Stylers Anti-Humidity Maximum Hold Hairspray for a wow-worthy GLAM SLAM!
