01 Jun (Review & Swatches): CND Jason Wu Nail Lacquer, Effects Nail Polish
There are some collections that have shades for virtually every skin tone and color, and Creative Nail Design’s Jason Wu collection is one of them. The designer, known for his elegant, structured outfits and a playful pop of color, collaborated with CND to launch a capsule collection for $47.
In this collection, you’ll see his four staple colors, from Brigitte (a dirty rose), Veronica (a blood red), Miss Wu (a limestone gray), and Sophia (a dark mushroom). There are also silk-infused top coats that add a layer of depth –almost like a veil. This collection just hit the shelves on May 1.
Below is Sophia, a Warm Opaque. On its own, the shade is much darker than what you see below. But this is a lighter mani because I used two coats and layered it with a veil of the frosty CND “Effects” in Perfectly Bare Shimmer.

I also completely love Brigitte. This dusky rose comes off as a nude for darker complexions, but is a beautiful shade to wear for extremely elegant occasions. It is completely Jason Wu. Also shown here with a layer of the CND “Effects” in Perfectly Bare Shimmer.

In case you’re curious about the Effects bottle, here it is, a lovely bottle of frost (shown here with my nails done in Brigitte):

The rest of the set has nail lacquers that are suited for every season. See below:

Posted at 12:36h, 04 JuneThank you so much for reviewing these! I’ve been debating back and forth about these since early April when I heard they were coming out. I’ve been wanting someone to say yea or nay as to their quality and overall worth before I took the plunge. Now I feel as though it is definitely a go! I look forward to seeing all the colors and the top coat looks divine! Really appreciate your taking the time to inform us!
