Premiere Orlando is at once overwhelming and awe-inspiring in its sheer size and depth of product choices. Product demos, classes, networking, and of course shopping were top of mind for more than 50,000 attendees and more than 450 exhibitor booths. There is so much to see on the show floor, two days almost doesn’t seem like enough time. But we still found time to catch up with plenty of nail industry mainstays and meet new friends at the show and the NailTech Network Orlando Social. If you weren’t at this year’s show, take a look at what you missed and make sure to mark June 1-2, 2014 on your calendar for next year’s show.
