Cosmoprof 2010 Day 1 Recap
The first day of Cosmoprof is over and I’m beat! The day just flew by and there’s still so much more to see. In case you’re not familiar, Cosmoprof is a beauty trade show that takes place in Las Vegas. Brands from the salon and spa industry come together to sell their wares and it’s not just products. There are packaging companies, product manufacturers and salon equipment suppliers here as well. Plus there are sections for emerging brands and international brands. So cool! It’s a bit overwhelming but really interesting to explore.
From now through Tuesday I’ll be at the show checking out our favorite salon brands to see what they have in store for us nail fanatics and showing you any great finds I discover. Also, I have a new contributor to the site, Christine, who will be sharing her thoughts on the show with you as well. Christine is a friend I met via Specktra ages ago and she’s as big a nail fanatic as I am. Seriously, not long after we met, she purchased a full size OPI display rack to hold her polishes and it’s more than full. Anyway, check out what caught our eye on Day One of Cosmoprof!

Cosmoprof Sneak Peek – Art Club Glam
Coming soon from Color Club/Art Club are these nail decals, called Glam, that are along the lines of Minx but way cooler. The designs are on a clear background so you can apply them over polish and have the color show through.
According to the rep I spoke with, you simply apply them and add a top coat. They last until you take them off with remover. The plaid and metallic animals prints have me intrigued. I’m normally not a nail art girl but this looks easy enough that even a klutz like me could do it.
What do you think? Is this something you would try, I’ll update you with launch info as soon as I have it.
Cosmoprof Sneak Peek – Orly ‘Tis The Season
Greetings from Cosmoprof! I’m going to be live blogging from the show to bring you my finds from the show.
My first stop-in-my-tracks moment was at the Orly booth where the Tis The Season collection is on display. The sparkle is amazing & there are minis!
Stay tuned for more news direct from Cosmoprof in Vegas!
A Quick & Easy Gradation Manicure with Butter London Stroppy
Remember way back in February 2009 when I had a CalGel Gradation Manicure done at Sakura in NYC? If you’re not familiar, a gradation manicure creates an ombre effect where the polish fades down the nail. I wore a version with a purple tip that faded into clear but you can also fade two colors together.
As much as I loved the look of my CalGel mani, the thought of spending two hours at the salon to get it done and another half hour or longer to remove it does not sound appealing. There has to be an easier way. An at-home method to get the look for less. Enter butter LONDON Stroppy. |
