CND policy is to only sell their professional products to trained professionals. this policy goes some way to protecting professionals and their business but also ensures those who buy something know how to use it.
It is sad when people buy off the net and go by way of the back door to get goods that CND only sell to pros BUT in fairness, many don't know of this policy of CND's and don't know they are eroding CND policy and even their own profession by doing it.
The good news is that to those who care, and I think Cerries is one of them, this policy will lead her to the CND front door. I have the feeling that she is a smart cookie who wants the best for herself and her business and is determined to get it.
So I hope what you have got is the genuine article. cerries, but sadly often it is not when bought over the net from unauthorized dealers.
If you buy from anyone who is not an associate of Sweet Squared (listed on Welcome - Sweet Squared) then you are actually buying goods that have been obtained illegally, fraudulently or stolen. Sweet Squared is the only licensed and authorized distributor for CND in th UK along with those who they have chosen as partners in distribution.
I would give Sweet Squared a call 08452106060 and set up an account with them so you can have the 'real deal' if and when you want it. You will have to fax or scan and send a copy of your training certificate to prove you are trained and insured and then they will set up an account for you which will allow you to purchase all CND goods apart form L&P and Brisa gels (you will need to attend a conversion class to purchase those).
I wish you all the best in your exciting career move.
