Transforming a Professional Beauty Brand

The Challenge: With growing product lines for hands and feet, Creative Nail Design had evolved well beyond nail care.

The Solution: Weaving together Creative Nail Design’s leadership in R&D, education and fashion, MiresBall positioned the company around “advancing the industry.” Careful to preserve equity in the 27-year-old brand, we simplified the corporate name to CND and retained iconic elements of the existing logo. Completing the transformation, an evocative new tagline—“Hands. Feet. Beauty.”—conveys CND’s expanded vision for the industry; while a clean, flexible visual system unifies the company’s extensive product lineup.

The Result: Unveiled at a major industry event and in leading trade publications worldwide, the new CND brand has been embraced by distributors, education partners and nail professionals.

“We could not have selected a better partner. MiresBall walked side by side with us through our re-branding, from digging deep into the nuances of our business to helping us sell in their more radical recommendations. The effort also involved a high level of executional complexity, and they worked with us to address all the details.”
