There are LOADS >> of free products in the swag bag AND you get the most amazing coupon book. >> Within that book was several coupons for free products and amazing >> discounts. I was in line waiting to get one of my free products when Debbie >> approached me asking, "Where did you get coupon book?" LOL (for the newbies, >> I got the book from Debbie's event LOL) >> 4. Chat up the techs with amazing nail designs on their hands. While in >> line I met Geneva and was intrigued by her stiletto nail design. I believe >> we bumped into each other at least 5 times afterwards and we exchanged >> information. >> 5. Do have a business card, even if it only says "student." I wish I would >> have created something to give out :-( >> 6. Don't be intimidated!! I was at the CND Booth when Jan was discussing >> vinylux. Later that day, one of the CND Ambassadors gave me an invite to >> the VIP Launch Event for Vinylux -- that was amazing. I saw Jan upon >> entering the "invite only" event and asked for a picture. She then said, >> "There she is. I saw you at the CND Booth." I think a tear formed because >> this woman meets so many people and she remembered me. >> 7. Do go the booths and asks for tips and tricks. I wasn't sure how to >> really ask but I knew I needed to take advantage of this wonderful >> opportunity of being surrounded by so much knowledge. So I waited for Holly >> to finish with another tech then I asked her questions about shellac and >> application. She gave me wonderful tips and was extremely pleasant. >> 8. Do go to the CND Design lab. Upon entry they gave us a free bottle of >> vinylux and top coat. I also played with some of the design accessories >> where I learned how to apply foil, etc. There was a contest that would award >> $500 to the design that accumulated the most instagram votes. Ten finalist >> were chosen and I was a finalist!!! I didn't win the $500 but I did win an >> introductory kit, got to be called to the middle of the CND booth with Jan >> where my name was announced and she informed people that I had just >> completed school. That woman remembers everything, we had that discussion >> earlier in the day. >> 9. Do attend the Nail Talk Radio event if they hold another one. I received >> free gel polish there and loads of information. >> 10. Do get a late flight for the last day of the show. Vendors drop prices. >> I'm still experimenting with what type of lacquer I prefer. On day one, >> Essie had polish 5 for $21. On the last day, the polish was 6 for $21!! This >> is a double edged sword. Although some vendors will drop pricing on the >> last day, if it is something that you really like, get it on the first day >> when supply is higher. I found that several colors would sell out. >> 11. Review the nail world booklet online or on the first day in the course >> guide. Get a game plan to hit the classes you truly want to see. Also, >> arrive earlier to some of the popular classes (Young Nails, etc.) because >> the seats will fill quickly. >> 12. Register early at Salon Centric to get $20 off the registration price. >> Since I was a student, I was able to get $10 off but $20 is muchhhhh better >> LOL. Also register early enough to have the e-pass sent to you to avoid >> standing in the longgggg e-pass reprint line. I was in that line :-( >> 13. Wear comfy clothing. I wore jeans and flip flops the entire time. >> Walking from the parking lot to the side where nail world is held, is a >> longggg walk. Even longer if you have to park at the hotel garage across >> the street. >> 14. Be prepared to pay for parking. It was $15 each day. >> 15. Leave your hotel, house, etc early enough to allow for traffic, parking >> and walking so that you make it on time to the class. >> 16. Pack a lunch/snack/water. On the first day, I didn't eat lunch because >> I wanted to attend so many classes. It wasn't until the evening I had a >> chance to eat. There was a cafe there, but bringing your lunch is another >> option. >> I've included some pics from the event--one with Debbie, one with Holly and >> one with Jan when I received my finalist gift!!! >> This event was amazing and I cannot wait to try out the things I have >> learned!!!! >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "NailTech" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> email to [email protected]. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >> Visit this group at >> <http://groups.google.com/group/nailtech?hl=en>http://groups.google.com/group/nailtech?hl=en. >> For more options, visit >> <https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out>https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. >> >> >> Content-Type: image/jpeg; name=image-1.jpeg >> Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=image-1.jpeg >> X-Attachment-Id: e16a7196-3097-418b-b572-93e714a3429d >> Content-ID: <e16a7196-3097-418b-b572-93e714a3429d> >> >> Content-Type: image/jpeg; name=image.jpeg >> Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=image.jpeg >> X-Attachment-Id: 6044e7b5-668d-4b9a-98bc-54af7141c829 >> Content-ID: <6044e7b5-668d-4b9a-98bc-54af7141c829> >> >> Content-Type: image/jpeg; name=image-2.jpeg >> Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=image-2.jpeg >> X-Attachment-Id: 41c290e7-bbbf-4798-a3df-326ab4a46d7d >> Content-ID: <41c290e7-bbbf-4798-a3df-326ab4a46d7d> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "NailTech" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/nailtech?hl=en. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
