Polish Con will be filled with over 20 vendors helping attendees celebrate their love for nail polish, and nail polish accessories through shopping, live demos, tutorial tables, and meet and greets with their favorite brand owners and creators. “Polish Con is a great way to bring nail polish loving like-minded souls in one place to meet the brands they love and the friends they know through social media.” Says event organizer Miranda Kraft.

KBShimmer owner Christy Rose says “Polish Con is one of the best opportunities for our brand to interact directly with fans. It is such a joy to see the happiness that attendees have seeing their favorite brands’ products in person. It is an event I look forward to each spring and fall. The wide array of brands, nail polish and hand care items we see make this a not to be missed event for nail polish fans.” “We thoroughly enjoy Polish Con on so many levels. It's a great way to meet our customers and other polish makers in person and build friendships. It's also a fabulous opportunity for me as a polish addict to make purchases in person from the many amazing brands, and save on shipping!!” says Pam Heil, owner of the Canadian brand Girly Bits Cosmetics.

Some of the over 20 brands that will be in attendance this year along with the event organizers are KBShimmer, Glisten and Glow, Different Dimension, Takko Lacquer, Bee’s Knees Lacquer, and Girly Bits. For nail artists, bloggers and indie polish lovers in the New York area, this is the perfect opportunity to meet the creators behind your favorite indie brands, socialize with other nail enthusiasts in the community and learn new nail art techniques through live demos and tutorials. Taryn from Anchor & Heart Lacquer says “Polish Con means so much to our growing corner of the beauty industry because it reinforces the unique ability we have to connect with our customers on a personal level!”

“It’s an experience of a lifetime, sharing the passion of nail polish with fellow fanatics and meeting fans and customers! Amazing interpersonal relationships with everyone involved are born at Polish Con! Best of all seeing all of the beautiful polishes in person!” says Jill Rehm-Craine, owner of Glisten & Glow.

PolishCon Chicago

Am I going to see you next month in Chicago? On the fence about coming out? Well read below!

Trust Fund Beauty

I heard about Trust Fund Beauty through social media ages ago (and by ages, I mean a couple of years) when I saw their sparkly polish called Boy Tears and put it on my birthday wish list. It's still on my list, waiting to come home to me, but today I have a little more information about the line itself.

Trust Fund Beauty was created by Samara Granofsky in memory of her late mother. Her mother had cancer and went through chemo which made her nails brittle and yellow so she wanted to wear nail polish to feel better of herself. Colors were limited back then and Samara's mother wanted a cool fashion forward brand, but couldn't find one.

Years after her mother's passing in February 2014, Samara launched Trust Fund Beauty. She combined her mother's want and their joint sense of humor. Trust Fund Beauty stands out in the crowd with sensuous colors and witty, unapologetic names like "Adult Content" and "Flirty & Dirty". 

On the flip side, Trust Fund Beauty is vegan, cruelty free, 10-free status (and you thought Big 3 Free was a big deal!), safe for children and pets, GMO free - really we can keep going. 

But wait, Trust Fund Beauty is also about lipsticks! Oh yes.

Super moisturizing, almost matte lipstick that is 100% vegan, cruelty free, paraben free and GMO free. 

So now you have your Lips and your Tips matching.

Back to the nails - Trust Fund Beauty also makes a base coat, a top coat and a non-acetone nail polish remover. They also have box sets and a subscription box available for those who want a little more out of their purchase. OH and for those makeup lovers, there is a highlighter stick that you may want to grab on your way out the door.

Trust Fund Beauty is available on their website. Join the conversation on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
