CND Duo Sunrise Energy #467 — Shellac + Vinylux. Soft, sunlit color that upgrades any service menu. Sunrise Energy #467 is a sheer coral pink that warms every skin tone, reads fresh on short nails, and turns luminous on longer shapes. The coordinated duo pairs CND Shellac for 14+ days of high-gloss, chip-resistant wear with CND Vinylux Long Wear Polish for fast, no-base-coat manicures and pedicures—so you can keep the exact same shade story from chair to checkout without second-guessing undertone or finish.
For pros who value efficiency and consistency, this set streamlines scheduling, inventory, and retail. Run premium gel services, quick-turn polish appointments, and cohesive mani-pedi looks in one flattering tint. The result is clean execution, repeatable results, and content-ready shine clients love to photograph and rebook.
Shade & Finish: Sheer Coral Pink with a Sunny Glow
Sunrise Energy delivers a translucent, peach-kissed coral that builds from a delicate wash to a soft sorbet tint. One coat feels “barely there” and workplace friendly; two to three coats amplify warmth while keeping the nail bed visible for a modern, glassy effect. The shade brightens hands, flatters toes, and looks especially striking against bronzed or deeper complexions—yet remains elegant on fair skin thanks to its sheer base and balanced warmth.

Application Tips for Pros
Keep layers thin and intentional to preserve translucency, control streaking, and maximize wear. Always follow your CND system steps and lamp guidance for consistent results across technicians and locations.
- Shellac Workflow: Perform meticulous prep and cleanse. Apply thin coats of Shellac Sunrise Energy, curing per your CND lamp instructions between coats. Finish with Shellac Top Coat and cure fully. Remove per CND protocol to protect the natural nail.
- Vinylux Workflow: Prep, cleanse, then apply two thin coats of Sunrise Energy Vinylux—no base coat required. Seal with Vinylux Top Coat for best durability and shine. Allow to dry fully before oil and hand cream.
- Sheer Control: For the second coat, use light, floating pressure; check sidewalls and cuticle line in raking light to keep the tint even.
- Photo Finish: Shoot in indirect daylight or a softbox at 45°—the coral glow reads glossy and true on camera.
Time, Hygiene & Cost Efficiency
Carrying the coordinated duo reduces duplicate inventory, unifies swatching, and streamlines staff education—one shade card, one story, two systems. Vinylux’s no-base workflow saves minutes per polish service; Shellac’s predictable cure and gentle removal support faster turns and healthier nails when protocols are followed. A single tester for both systems keeps your color bar tidy and hygienic, while the built-in duo discount protects margins without raising menu prices.
Client Profiles & Consultation Notes
Guide guests quickly to the format that fits their lifestyle while keeping the color consistent across hands and feet.
- Gel Loyalists: Choose Shellac for 14+ day wear, vacations, and events where chip-resistance and a glass-gloss finish matter.
- Frequent Switchers: Choose Vinylux for fast appointments, pedicures, or weekly color changes with flexible wear and easy removal.
- Skin Tone Pairing: The warm coral undertone brightens medium to deep tones and adds a healthy flush to fair skin. Balance with a cool-pink accent or chrome micro-details if clients prefer contrast.
Design, Layering & Seasonal Stories
Build quick narratives that help clients visualize the shade in their life. Think “Sunrise Neutrals” (Sunrise Energy + sheer nude), “Beach Glass” (Sunrise Energy over a milky base), or “Citrus Pop” (Sunrise Energy with soft white line work). For art, keep it premium and speedy: negative-space arcs, micro-dots, minimalist French tips, or a single chrome accent per hand.
Finish & Wear Expectations
Both systems deliver a sheer, peach-coral glow that looks luminous rather than opaque. Shellac offers premium longevity with a cushiony, mirror-like shine; Vinylux delivers week-long wear with flexible comfort and quick removal. Daily cuticle oil maintains luster and supports nail health—your simplest at-home cue for repeat bookings and better photos.
