This weekend was the fabulous 6th annual Canadian Nail Tech Networking event. Dayna Knight put together a fabulous event packed full of goodies, education and fun. I was honored to have the opportunity to speak to the group about social media strategies for 2015 and Angela Knight Van Schaayk spoke to the group about investing our hard earned money in the right places with the right strategies.

I sat down with Beth Albrecht to chat about Poly polish, TEN's newest product to turn any nail polish or acrylic paint into gel polish. The mixing ratios are figured out for you so you just have to be the creative artist you already are. I also purchased some of those really cool Derwent Inktense pencils to add to my nail art arsenal. Stay tuned for upcoming photos.
Things were hopping at Liliya Saxons table where she was launching her brand new videos, Get your clients addicted and One stroke and foiling techniques. Her demo nails were stunning. She also had all new ceramic bits, guaranteed to not get dull, I have to admit these were pretty cool.
