SEARCHThis is why you should make an effort to attend one in your area.
I’ve been meaning to tell you about the I Heart CND events scattered throughout the US. This is a really cool education opportunity combined with dream shopping, raffle prizes, and networking opportunities.

As I’m sitting on a train crossing parts of the Midwest, it’s the perfect chance to catch up blogging on things I’ve been wanting to share with you! The first I Heart CND event that I had the privilege of working was in LA at MK Beauty Club. It was amazing how far some of the techs came to attend, I thought the one from Northern California was going to get furthest traveled until nail pro, Vidar, arrived from Norway!

The event starts out with shelves that are well stocked with product so that you can find the things you need and stock up for the salon on site. As you walk in, imagine being greeted and given a bag that will house all the complimentary goodies you can pick up throughout the day. This unique event has stations set up in which you can stop and learn, some are interactive, some are science experiments like coloring along with enhancement demos and other awesome opportunities unique to the event location!

Once you visit a station and receive the education, there is a prize for participation. There are gifts being given out via drawings throughout the day and a HUGE grand prize drawing at the end of the day. This means you should arrive at the opening and stay to the end.
