This fall 2013, CND has released a new CND Vinylux Forbidden Collection in mini bottles. The colors are more to the darker shades, which are pretty for fall.
What is CND Vinylux
Before getting deeper in the color, let’s talk what CND Vinylux is.
VINYLUX™ is a breakthrough polish system that endures a week of fashion perfection…without a base coat! Exposure to natural light secures the patent-pending Pro-Light technology, creating an enduring, long-lasting polish. While ordinary polishes become brittle and deteriorate over time, VINYLUX dries naturally to a flawless finish and strengthens its resistance to chips over time. VINYLUX is available in 62 fashion-forward polish colors and 47 colors that match popular CND Shellac™ shades. Quotes from CND.com
Is Vinylux similar to Shellac? No, these are totally different type of polish.
CND Shellac:

needs UV Light to cure the polish
needs a base coat

long lasting shine till the end of the 2-week
longer application and removal time
CND Vinylux:
is air-dry just like regular nail polish.
no need of a uv lamp
no base coat needed
stay for up to 1 week, hence the name ‘weekly polish’
getting dull or dents over the week
shorter application and removal time
