Jan Arnold
As Co-founder and Style Director, as well as the daughter of Dr. Stuart Nordstrom, the brilliant dentist and organic chemist whose discoveries and patents launched our company, Jan is the electrifyingly dynamic link between the worlds of professional nail beauty and international high fashion.
Since CND’s incorporation in 1979, Jan brings both powerful acumen as a brand engineer and a dynamic fashion sense to her many roles within the company. As a result, she has become one of beauty’s “Beautiful People”, topping the list of the handful of experts constantly sought out by the fashion as well as beauty press.
In turn, Jan has made CND an "A-Lister" on the world’s red carpets and runways, particularly in the exhilarating venue of New York Fashion Week, where her team preps thousands of custom-nails for top designers’ catwalk collections every couture season.
Jan is in year-round demand as a speaker on the beauty trade-show circuit, with a travel itinerary taking her from Des Moines to Dubai and beyond.
