About this event
- 1 day 7 hours
Polish & Beauty Expo (PBE) is an annual shopping and education event that connects indie nail polish and beauty makers with customers and fans. This two-day event starts with three ticketed events on Saturday: a hands-on nail polish making workshop, a stamping workshop, and a meet and greet cocktail party. Saturday workshops provide an opportunity for you to make the polish of your dreams or learn how to stamp with an expert. That evening, the meet and greet is your chance to interact with some of your favorite indie brands as well as connect with friends over food and drinks. Sunday brings the main event: a day of shopping and tutorials. Shop with 30+ brands for your favorite products like nail polish, hand and cuticle care, soap and cosmetics, stamping and nail art supplies, jewelry, wax and home fragrance, and much more. Visit interactive tutorial tables to brush up on your skills or learn a new technique.
PBE is the perfect event to discover the newest indie products, purchase event-exclusives, and connect with your favorite indie makers in beautiful Tinley Park, IL, a short drive from Chicago.
Please visit the Polish & Beauty Expo website for complete event and vendor information.
