Beauty Trade Fair Experience..

I'm very tired, and too lazy to write this in Dutch and English, so I'm going to do this in English.
I visited the Beauty Trade Fair in Utrecht, and I was overwelmed by all the things I saw there. Lots of demonstrations from award winning nail-techs, new brands, new products, inspiration for my salon...too much!I just didn't know where to start.
Anyway, lately I've been checking the youtube videos from a brand named Young Nails, "starring" Greg Salo. He's an amazing nail-tech/artist/business man, and I was totally surprised to see him at the trade fair!!!This might sound weird, but to me he's almost like a celebrity from "nail land". He was sitting there, giving demonstrations on acrylic nail-art, and you just can't imagine what this guy can do! Very inspiring. Unfortunately I didn't make any photos, but you can check his work on youtube.
Ofcourse I bought products for my salon, including a new "soak off" gel system from Cuccio Naturalé, especially for natural nails. You get a perfect thin and natural look on fingers or toes, in colour or pink and white(french). To remove these enhancements there's no need to buff, because it can be easily soaked off in acetone. Love it!
And I had the chance to check all NFU Oh polishes in real life!Finally! I only bought the one I've been dreaming about for a while now, because honestly, the other colours just weren't that special to me. And, as you can see in my previous post, I bought a can opener!LOL. It's super cute, in the typical NFU Oh shape. The only thing is that I don't open that many cans:). I never drink from a can. The only can I need to open daily is the one with dog food. But it's huge,(for a german shepherd) so my "elegant" opener is not of any help there. I think today I'm going to buy a few cans of tunafish!I mean, this thing needs to be used:-).
Overall it was a lovely experience, and I'm happy I went there alone, so I didn't have to feel guilty about staring too long at all the lovely stuff:).
