Never fear! The creators and vendors of the event got together and are creating polishes available for sale to everyone before the Con! How cool is that?

This is the very last release of Road to Polish Con, it will go live on Sunday at 8am Central and run through the following Saturday.

Sunday's launch features week 17 polishes from Fair Maiden, Sassy Pants, and Bohemian Polish.

Fair Maiden Welcome to New York
A pale aqua holo with strong red shimmer, gold holographic micro glitter and chameleon glitter that shifts red-gold-green. I wore three coats for opacity, as it was a bit sheer for my painting style, then topped with topcoat.

Bohemian Polish The Streets are Paved with Diamonds
A charcoal linear holo inspired by the song "New York City" by Cub, made famous by They Might Be Giants. The song is a love letter to the city and says the streets are "paved with diamonds," which stuck with Jen from Bohemian. "I wanted to write a love letter to the city that anyone who couldn't make it to PC could send." I wore two coats with topcoat, formula was quick to dry so minimal strokes are recommended for this one.

The Indie Shop - Atlanta

In no particular order, some VIP line photos, crowd photos and booth photos from The Indie Shop. I wasn't able to get every single booth and even didn't get to visit at a few, there just wasn't enough time to converse, shoot, and shop all the things. I'd have loved to have an hour or so more. I had a blast though, made new friends, reunited with some vendors I met at Chicago Polish Con and met a lot of vendors I had not met before! Especially that very last grouping of photos...will be interesting to see what they come up with! ;)
