The newly launched product is a two part system that targets nail damage. For clients who experience shredding, peeling and weak nails, IBX is the key product to repair all problems. Speaking to the creators of IBX, Jim and Linda Nordstrom, we got to find out much more about IBX and why it will change the future of sustaining natural nail quality. What inspired you to come up with the new IBX product? We wanted something that was totally unique and beneficial to the nail professional and their client. We experimented with different concepts until we came up with the concept of going into the nail instead of on top of it… thus the project name “Iceberg”. How did you get into the beauty industry? Jim – Well, long story short; my father Dr Nordstrom formed CND in 1979. I was finishing up my pre-med degree, which included a lot chemistry so I naturally fell into the business. My father died in 1983, so I filled the Chairman and CEO roles from that point until 2000, when I retired. I have always practiced the philosophy ‘listen to your customer’ which has resulted in a great partnership with the professional industry. In 2007 I joined Samuel and Samantha Sweet at Sweet Squared where I am a partner, FD and board member. In 2010, Linda and I founded Famous Names. Linda – I became passionate about the professional nail business upon graduating from cosmetology school, which led me to become a Creative Nail Design Educational Sales Consultant and recipient of Educator of the Year for two years running. I opened the first nail salon in Rhode Island which employed 12 techs and was a great success story. I am excited 30 about being back in the industry after a few years off to be a Mum! What are the key benefits of IBX that other products are missing? IBX works IN the nail and not on top. By becoming a permanent addition to the nail plate, it adds toughness and strength to the natural nail allowing it to grow out on its own or acting as a ‘protective shield’ under all Gel Polishes. Do you have to be a gel wearer to use this product or does it apply to everyone? To everyone. It has two functions: it acts as a protective shield for the natural nail under all gel polishes. It is also functions as a natural nail growth system. What do you think makes your brand stand out from a competitor of yours? Several things: we own and run Famous Names and are not beholden to huge corporate parents who push for quarterly earnings production. There is no competition for IBX as it is a totally unique product. Polished Spring 2014 What is the best thing about your job? Passion for our industry. We have both been in it our entire careers and it just gets better as time goes on. Our oldest daughter Niki is joining our industry too, which we are so excited about. Do you think the industry has changed since you started introducing your brands? Jim – Not as much since we started Famous Names, but a tremendous amount since I co-founded Creative Nail Design/ CND in 1979. The one thing that is a constant is the consumer’s thirst for professionally applied nail services. The gel polish experience will just get better and the woman who wants to grow her natural nails finally has a system that actually works! the best product on the market. Now we need to make it the best seller. Have your customers also changed? With the advent of gel polishes, I believe the demand for salon applied nail services has increased greatly. With our introduction of IBX, the gel polish experience will just get better and the woman who wants to grow her natural nails finally has a system that actually works! Being in the industry for a long time what has been your career highlight over the years? There are two. Innovating new and meaningful products and building exceptional teams that work together. There were less than 10 people who worked on IBX from concept to reality. The big nail companies have more people in their marketing departments alone! If you could pick one product to be your favourite what would it be? That’s very hard. IBX is our new baby, so that has to be one. I have to also include our wonder product Dadi’Oil, it is by far What is next for IBX? We will let you know. We are working on it already! www.louellabelle.co.uk 31 essie essie “luxurious textures, amazing performance, my new spa manicure... essie is a smooth attraction that restores and renews.” A supreme pedicure regimen Step Step Step Step Step 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: A deluxe manicure routine Step Step Step Step Cleanse Exfoliate Hydrate Massage Moisturise 32 Polished Spring 2014 www.louellabelle.co.uk 33 1: 2: 3: 4: Cleanse Exfoliate Soften Hydrate you essie A day in the life of Marian Newman Name: Marian Newman. Years in the Nail Industry: 26 years. Achievements: I was elected President of the International Nail Association (the only association in those early days), first Session Technician in the UK; Chairperson of the Habia Nail Services Forum, author of one of the best-selling textbooks for nail technology, winner of the Scratch Stars Award for Services to the Nail Industry, Head Floor Judge of the Nailympics. Highlights: Goodness! There are many things that I would consider my highlights. I’ve been lucky enough to have many exciting experiences and can’t really pick out few enough to fit here! What is your general day-to-day life like? No two days of mine are alike. Yesterday I was the subject of an editorial for a lovely magazine (so, the wrong side of the camera!) then I went to a studio to do some close-up hand shots. The day before I was in a studio with a big team doing advertising images for MAC, last week I was flying to New York for an advertising job and next week I’ll be meeting some media press in a salon. Then the fashion shows start! What do you enjoy the most about it? Fortunately, the variety! What do you dislike the most? Unfortunately, also the variety! I rarely know where I am one day to the next. How do you generally start the day? With a cup of tea and two custard creams in bed (whatever the time may be). What time does your day start? Depends what I’m doing. There is a show I do in Paris that has a 3am call time. I almost always drive into London so, more often than not, I’ll be leaving home at around 7am. What is the last thing you do before you finish for the day? Pack my kit away. 34 Polished Spring 2014 What time does your day finish? Any time. It can even be 3am the following day (and has often been!) What is your favourite part of the day? Getting home for a glass of red wine. What are your favourite Louella Belle products to use and why? I love IBX and Dadi’Oil. IBX is such an innovation and badly needed for most of our clients. I have quoted so many times that if you do nothing else for your nails, use an oil every day and Dadi’Oil is fantastic! I am a big fan of essie nail polish too. Great quality and perfect colour range. What is the best piece of advice you have ever been given? Hard work pays off. You only get out what you put in. I have found this to be so true about everything! What is your absolute favourite nail polish colour? Rouge Noir. essie shade story bikini so teeny String them along with this naughty number. A creamy cornflower blue, bikini so teeny has a subtle shimmer for the perfect hint of glint in the sun. As one of the top 5 selling essie colours in the world, it has conquered celebrities like indie darlings Kirsten Bell and Minka Kelly who can’t get over the shade’s fresh colour and cheeky name to match! Born in the Summer of 2012 bikini so teeny has become a cult favourite, and at its release, was the #1 selling polish of the season! Created to evoke the feeling of the ocean surf and crystal blue skies, this polish is the perfect travel accessory to wherever your Summer trip leads you. “The search for a perfect bathing suit starts with a great colour. You simply can’t lose if the colour fits!” – says Essie Weingarten, Founder and Creative Director of essie. There are no strings attached, bikini so teeny will be the splash of colour your vacation nails have been waiting for! Gel or polish? Both!
