What: Polish & Beauty Expo (PBE) is an annual US event that began in 2020. It aims to provide in-person connections for indie nail polish and beauty makers with customers and fans. Organized by the KBShimmer owner, Christy Rose and Sponsored by Glitter Unique. PBE is a showcase for nail polish and beauty vendors from across the world. The 2 day event offers shopping, learning, and the opportunity to connect with brands and other polish fans.

I have attended the event as Press for the past three years and I always have a blast!! I'm usually running a bit amok with snapping photos and taking video for the event. I'll be wearing my xoxojen.com T-shirts both days, and if you see me, please say hello, grab a selfie with me, and maybe a little freebie (quantities limited). I enjoy meeting others at these events and I would love to meet you!
