UK professional nail brand Glitterbels has confirmed the appointment of Jan Arnold as executive adviser, announcing the move on its official Instagram account. The brand said it was “honoured” to bring Arnold on board and highlighted plans to strengthen education, support nail technicians and accelerate growth in the United States.

Arnold co-founded CND and is widely credited with shaping the professional nail sector over more than four decades. Glitterbels’ statement cites her 46 years of experience and signals that her brief will centre on curriculum, community and brand development, building on the company’s existing product range across acrylic and gel systems and its training footprint.

“Glitterbels has always been more than just a brand, over the past 8 years we have continued to grow, but for us to be the best we need the best people around us, it is an honour to have Jan by our side as we have admired and looked up to her for so many years!

Founded by nail artist Annabel Maginnis, Glitterbels has grown over the past eight years from a UK salon brand into an education-led professional label with a growing presence in North America. The company says the advisory appointment is intended to add senior industry expertise as it scales.

If delivered as outlined, the partnership pairs one of the sector’s best-known leaders with a fast-growing British brand, with implications for training standards, educator networks and market share in the US.
