Dermelect Cosmeceuticals Nails National Distribution at ULTA Beauty

I was recently browsing thru my local Ulta's nail polish section, and was excited to see a new Dermelect display! I snapped a (very unfocused) pic with my cell because I remember seeing some press release info about this.

Dermelect Cosmeceuticals, the company that introduced the 1^st Peptide Infused, Anti-Aging Nail Treatments, announces that their entire Nail, Hand & Foot care range will now be available at ULTA stores nationwide and Ulta.com.  Beginning January 2014, all ULTA locations will feature Dermelect’s collection of Nail Treatments and ME lacquers on end-caps throughout the month of January and then Dermelect can be found amongst ULTA’s professional assortment of products.

“By having a national presence at ULTA Beauty, Dermelect anti-aging nail treatments are now readily available to the woman who has been experiencing changes to the appearance and health of her nails. We’re excited to be able to provide our innovative solutions to help restore naturally long, strong, beautiful nails, while flaunting fashionably forward fingertips,” says Amos Lavian, Founder of Dermelect Cosmeceuticals. 

ULTA will offer a variety of Dermelect’s leading Nail Treatment products, including treatment base coats, a manicure extending top coat, colored treatment lacquers and restorative creams all infused with Protein Keratin Peptide, a pure protein derived from New Zealand sheep’s wool that works to strengthen the nails and nourish the skin. Award-winning Rejuvenail Fortifying Nail & Cuticle Treatment and Timeless Anti-Aging Daily Hand Treatment along withRunway Ready Luxury Foot Treatment are mainstays of the line-up, as well as nail treatment lacquers Launchpad Nail Strengthener, Makeover Ridge Filler and High-Maintenance Instant Nail Thickener. Step-by-step Nail Recovery System provides a complete regimen to restore damaged, hard-to-grow nails in a value set.   24 shades of ME’s peptide-infused, professional-strength lacquers will round out the range combining hydrolyzed keratin with rich pigments in a 3-Free formula.  In March, Dermelect will introduce three new Nail Treatments and seven on-trend spring hues.

In anticipation of Dermelect’s launch at ULTA, the retail packaging has undergone a complete revamp featuring a sophisticated, dual finish texture to better align with the high quality and efficacy of the innovatively advanced treatments. To convey the feel of the luxury treatments, the new packaging features a soft touch technology and is coupled with a high gloss finish to complement the high-shine of the lacquers. The DER ME LECT logo, seen throughout the polish collection has been carried over for brand uniformity. The messaging communicated has also been improved upon to better cater to the educated consumer, not simply listing the product’s feature/benefits but also providing key ingredient definitions.

“We are pleased to launch Dermelect exclusively at ULTA Beauty,” said ULTA Senior Vice President of Merchandising, Janet Taake. “We believe that Dermelect’s technologically advanced line of peptide infused, anti-aging nail treatments and colors will be a perfect fit for ULTA Beauty and our customers.”

To support the launch at ULTA Beauty, Dermelect will be included in ULTA’s circulars and sampling promotions. Online initiatives will include utilizing mass emails and social media Q/A’s, nail maintenance tips, and nail art tutorials to further the brand’s messaging.

The Dermelect Nail Treatments range from $14.00 for the ME Anti-Aging Color Nail Treatments to $59.00 for the Nail Recovery System.

Manicures and Lashes Star At Sundance

Press release from China Glaze

Film Festival Suite Features China Glaze And Ardell

Los Angeles, CA – (January 2011): As flurries of snow fell in Park City, Utah, celebrities attending the festivities stayed warm inside movie screenings and gifting suites. Complimentary haircuts, boots, and clothes were thrown their way, but there were only 2 things they were really looking forward to: A pampering manicure courtesy of China Glaze and flattering eye lashes from Ardell.

Celebrities who stopped by for a little rest and relaxation included Lea Thompson (“The Convincer”) who was very sweet and kind. When gifted with her favorite Ardell DuraLash Naturals and Ardell #110’s, she exclaimed “I seriously wear lashes every single day! I even have them on right now!” She also adored her bottles of China Glaze Salsa and Innocence. Kevin Sorbo (“Hercules”) took a break with his wife Sam Jenkins for some manicures, lashes, and chit chat. They made everyone laugh with stories about their rambunctious kids. The adorable Kay Panabaker (“No Ordinary Family”) received a manicure with China Glaze Love Letters, while sharing anecdotes about growing up in the show business.

Hilarity ensued when Jonnie Penn (“The Buried Life”) came by with a friend for some buffing and filing. Game for pretty much anything, Jonnie insisted that he have Ardell Lashes put on. After the DUO Lash Glue dried, he said “he had never felt prettier in his life!” Aasha Davis (“South of Nowhere” and “Pariah” – Official Selection 2011 Sundance Film Festival) and her mother stopped by for manicures with China Glaze Evening Seduction while everyone in the room cooed at pictures of her adorable little baby boy.

Tenley Molzahn and Kiptyn Locke (“The Bachelor”) arrived hand in hand. While Kiptyn strolled around, Tenley had China Glaze Diva Bride applied while dishing out behind–the-scenes gossip from “The Bachelor”. New York native James Kyson Lee (“Heroes”) stayed glued to the Jets vs. Steelers game on T.V. while getting his manicure. He made everyone laugh when he said, “How ironic is this? I’m getting a manicure while watching a football game!”

Katy Perry Rocks Neon Yellow Nails at MTV Movie Awards

KATY PERRY ROCKS NEON YELLOW NAILS AT MTV AWARDS

China Glaze Yellow Polka Dot Bikini Makes It’s Debut On The Red Carpet

Los Angeles, CA – (June 2010): Dazzling in her Zuhair Murad mini dress and Rock & Republic grey platform heels, Katy Perry was definitely a stand out at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards. With so much sparkle, shimmer, sequins and shiny fabric going on, Katy nixed the accessories and instead went with a wild royal blue coif and neon yellow nails!

Katy Perry, who is known for her love of manicures and nails, went with her favorite celebrity manicurist Kimmie Kyees for this event. Kimmie, who is totally aware of the fact that Katy likes to stray as far away from the norm as possible, chose China Glaze Yellow Polka Dot Bikini as her first manicure color for the night. To make the neon yellow polish pop, Kimmie used a well-known manicurist trick by first applying a couple coats of China Glaze White on White underneath the Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. This insured that everyone was able to see Katy’s nails from a mile away! To achieve the desired nail length that Katy wanted, Kimmie also used ibd Natural Nail Tips. Kimmie says that she goes through so many of these nail tips that she can never have enough in her manicurist kit.

The only thing missing is that perfect manicure and pedicure! Dip into the summer with some of the brightest and most amazing neons from the China Glaze Poolside collection! Perfect for fingers, and especially the toes, nothing says Summer of 2010 like a couple coats of bright polish! The 6 colors in the Poolside collection include:

• Pool Party: Neon Pink
• Flip Flop Fantasy: Neon Coral
• Sun Worshipper: Neon Orange
• Yellow Polka Dot Bikini: Neon Yellow
• Kiwi Cool-Ada: Neon Green
• Towel Boy Toy: Neon Blue

As for most neons, these tend to finish drying on the matte side…But no fear, getting that gorgeous shine is only a top coat away! Try China Glaze Patent Leather Top Coat. Once you get a look at your China Glaze neon nails glimmering underwater and in the sun, you’re never going to want to take these polishes off!

China Glaze Poolside launches April 1st 2010, for international and domestic.

*Please note that like most neon polishes, the first layer will look extremely opaque and thin. You will need to build up to desired coverage and always remember to let each layer dry completely before applying the next. This will help prevent streaks and missing patches of color on the nail bed.

China Glaze Nail Lacquers have a suggested retail price of $6.50 each.
