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!

KBShimmer: Lake It Easy (PBE 2022 LE)

Last year I wasn't able to go to PBE 2022 so I utilized a fairy to get the KBShimmer Limited Edition polishes. It is a great option if you're not able to go which allow you to have a piece of the expo! There's already a thread in the PBE group for the 2023 show to help those seeking a fairy.

One of the polishes I got was Lake It Easy. I wore it straight away and now I'm sharing the photos of it!!
With some of the most beautiful parks and lakes, including Lake Michigan, Illinois is a great place to get on the water. Whether you launch a boat, head to the beach, or watch the waves from the shorelines of any of the Great Lakes, it’s a breeze to find a way to take it easy.

Lake It Easy (PBE 2022 Exclusive) is a vibrant blue polish. A bold shimmer shows off a vibrant turquoise hue that blends effortlessly into aqua and cyan. The dusting of holographic micro flakes sparkles like glimmering waves. Shown in two coats with topcoat.
