We’re still catching up from Cosmoprof in Las Vegas and we’ll be posting more info on all the new products and happenings soon, but I wanted to share a quick photo.

This is Melissa Osburn and Michelle Mismas. They are part of a growing number of non-industry beauty bloggers who are obsessed (I mean that in the best possible way!) with all things nails. The two met up for the first time at Cosmoprof and were giddy with excitement at meeting all their favorite nail company bigwigs and sampling some of the new brush on gel polishes.

Melissa has been running The Daily Nail since last October, when she vowed to do a different nail art design on her nails EVERY DAY for a year. I know we have a daily nail art blog (blogs.nailsmag.com/365nailart) but we run nail art from a whole lot of different nail techs. Melissa is actually coming up with super cute and interesting nail art designs every day. And she’s not even a trained nail tech. She’s just doing it for fun.

Michelle is the self-proclaimed “lacquer fanatic” behind All Lacquered Up, a blog devoted to reviewing the latest polish collections. Her site is characterized by showcasing the polish swatches on her nails and she often comes up with unique layering techniques and nail color trends. She’s even named polishes for Barielle and Rescue Beauty Lounge.

Check both of their blogs out. I think you’ll like them. Thanks for stopping by the booth ladies! And keep up the good work.
