It took the NAILS team three days to cover the show floor, visiting with advertisers and meeting new beauty industry professionals.
Eager to “pay it forward” and help the next generation of nail techs, celebrated New York City-based nail artist Fleury Rose took her passion for nails a continent away to give women in Medellin, Colombia, a “hand-up” toward achieving emotional and financial independence.
NAILS recently partnered with the Beauty Changes Lives Foundation on a FundRazr campaign that raised donations for the BCL | Tippi Hedren | NAILS NTNA Scholarship Fund.
