Glitterbels Welcomes Jan Arnold: A New Chapter Begins at NYFW with The Blonds

We are beyond excited to share some incredible news with our Glitterbels family - industry icon Jan Arnold has officially joined Glitterbels as our Executive Advisor. For over four decades, Jan has been at the forefront of the nail industry, co-founding and shaping CND into a global powerhouse while championing professional nail artists across the world. Her creative vision, trailblazing spirit, and unmatched experience have transformed nails from a service into an art form, and now, she’s bringing that legacy to Glitterbels. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. We announced Jan’s appointment backstage at New York Fashion Week, where Glitterbels were the nail sponsor for The Blonds’ Spring/Summer 2026 show. The event, held at the Prince George Ballroom, was nothing short of a spectacle. A glamorous “urban jungle oasis” brought to life by couture fashion, cinematic beauty, and bold storytelling. From the moment the lights dimmed, it was clear this wasn’t just a show, but an immersive experience. And Glitterbels' nails were front and center. Working hand-in-hand with Jan Arnold and The Blonds’ creative vision, our team designed nail looks that captured the drama and fantasy of the collection. Each set became a character of its own. These weren’t just nails - they were storytelling devices, extending the narrative from gown to fingertip. Seeing them glide down the runway alongside The Blonds’ dazzling couture was a dream moment for us at Glitterbels. With Jan’s guidance, we’re stepping into an exciting new era: Expansion into the U.S. - bringing our products, education, and artistry to an even bigger stage. Deeper support for professionals - continuing our mission to inspire and empower nail techs worldwide. Innovation at every level - bold collections, iconic collaborations, and nail artistry that pushes boundaries. Jan Arnold’s journey with Glitterbels marks a new chapter not just for our brand, but for the nail industry as a whole. Together, we’re ready to elevate nails to new heights This is only the beginning. Stay tuned for more from Glitterbels, Jan Arnold, Annabel, and our incredible global family.
