An unusual start....
Who would have thought that the art nail world would start in a very ordinary dental office. Dr. Stuart Nordstrom was a dentist, and after a patient told him that his curing liquid smelled just like the liquid used to cure porcelain repairs. Within a short time, the Solarnail Liquid brand had been developed. Solarnail Liquid is the first-ever monomer in the nail industry. From the beginning, Solarnail Liquid had the unique property that artificial nails possessed better flexibility and better resistance to U.V. from sunlight after curing. Solarnail changed the lives of the Nordstrom dental family. Solarnail is now for sale as CND solarnail TM in 65 countries, worldwide.
