On November 14 – 16, 2016, CND kicked off its inaugural VIP Brand Summit with a select group of top nail techs.These industry influencers gathered for three days of inspiration, education, and celebration, as they worked together to advance the state of the nail industry.

Attendees included past NAILS NTNA competitors Tan Nguyen, Lauren Wireman, Buddy Sims, Ashley Gregory, Torie Bastian, Season 3 champion Winnie Huang, and Season 2 champion Lavette Cephus.

NAILS and its sister publication, Modern Salon, got an exlusive behind-the-scenes look at the event. CND even announced its NAILS Reader's Choice Awards wins in front of the elite group.
