The entire NAILS team headed to Las Vegas to cover Cosmoprof North America and discover the latest innovations in nail products. Cosmoprof was held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center July 13-15, 2008, and had 740 different companies exhibiting their products. The event is one of the most important shows for beauty companies to grow and expand their brands into different areas of the world. We (obviously) focus on the nail manufacturers, but cosmetics, spa, hair care, skincare, and packaging companies were also representing in full force. Check out these show highlights and save the date for next year’s show: July 19-21, 2009.
