Each year around this time for America's Beauty Show, Co-Founder and face of Creative Nail Design (CND), Jan Arnold makes her annual pilgrimage to Chicago to showcase the upcoming year's trends for your tips. For spring, it's all about micro glitter with the launch of CND Additives Springtime Sparkle Collection. Colors explore the ranges off hot pink, Lemon Sunshine, Raspberry Sizzle and Sea Glass.

So what's beyond Spring? We look to Jan because she not only has tons of creative input, but travels the world (head-t-toe in Dries Van Noten) seeking the future of nail design. So whatever she puts on her nails, we'd gladly pay attention.

This look was created by CND Education Ambassadors Roxanne Valinoti and Shelena Robinson using Retention + Liquid & Powder in the extreme sculpted technique with CND Shellac in Black Pool -- leaving the tip clear and adding an iced black edge. To finish the look, they embellished the nail with Swarovski crystals at the tip and a black Swarovski crystal underneath. Wowzas.
