>> Oh goodness!! I'm not sure how many new techs are in the group
but I will say that one of the best pieces of advice I received
since joining the group a few months ago was---->Go to the Premiere
Orlando event. The vets know about this gem so this post may help
the newbies. I was lucky and able to save major $$$$ by staying
with a friend who lived less than 10 miles from the convention
center. Yay!!! The first day I felt a bit overwhelmed and lost but
what better way to get over that then to dive in? I contacted
Debbie about the networking event, paid and received
confirmation. That was amazingly quick Debbie!!!! :-) I attended
classes during the day since the exhibit floor was closed. If a
newbie has joined this group but is lurking, here are my tips for the show:
>> 1. Do NOT apply product to your hand prior to the
conference. Every class I attended asked for volunteers and I
wasn't able to volunteer because I was wearing shellac. Next time I
will be bare nails!!!
>> 2. Rent a car - I used dollar rental car and received a vehicle
for the four days for $64 dollars. Chat up the agent and you may
receive an upgrade for one cent each day. Therefore, I had a
mid-size car for the price of an economy!!
>> 3. Do attend the networking social held on the first night.
There are LOADS of free products in the swag bag AND you get the
most amazing coupon book. Within that book was several coupons for
free products and amazing discounts. I was in line waiting to get
one of my free products when Debbie approached me asking, "Where
did you get coupon book?" LOL (for the newbies, I got the book from
Debbie's event LOL)
>> 4. Chat up the techs with amazing nail designs on their
hands. While in line I met Geneva and was intrigued by her
stiletto nail design. I believe we bumped into each other at least
5 times afterwards and we exchanged information.
>> 5. Do have a business card, even if it only says "student." I
wish I would have created something to give out :-(
>> 6. Don't be intimidated!! I was at the CND Booth when Jan was
discussing vinylux. Later that day, one of the CND Ambassadors
gave me an invite to the VIP Launch Event for Vinylux -- that was
amazing. I saw Jan upon entering the "invite only" event and asked
for a picture. She then said, "There she is. I saw you at the CND
Booth." I think a tear formed because this woman meets so many
people and she remembered me.
>> 7. Do go the booths and asks for tips and tricks. I wasn't sure
how to really ask but I knew I needed to take advantage of this
wonderful opportunity of being surrounded by so much knowledge. So
I waited for Holly to finish with another tech then I asked her
questions about shellac and application. She gave me wonderful
tips and was extremely pleasant.
>> 8. Do go to the CND Design lab. Upon entry they gave us a free
bottle of vinylux and top coat. I also played with some of the
design accessories where I learned how to apply foil, etc. There
was a contest that would award $500 to the design that accumulated
the most instagram votes. Ten finalist were chosen and I was a
finalist!!! I didn't win the $500 but I did win an introductory
kit, got to be called to the middle of the CND booth with Jan where
my name was announced and she informed people that I had just
completed school. That woman remembers everything, we had that
discussion earlier in the day.
>> 9. Do attend the Nail Talk Radio event if they hold another
one. I received free gel polish there and loads of information.
>> 10. Do get a late flight for the last day of the show. Vendors
drop prices. I'm still experimenting with what type of lacquer I
prefer. On day one, Essie had polish 5 for $21. On the last day,
the polish was 6 for $21!! This is a double edged sword. Although
some vendors will drop pricing on the last day, if it is something
that you really like, get it on the first day when supply is
higher. I found that several colors would sell out.
>> 11. Review the nail world booklet online or on the first day in
the course guide. Get a game plan to hit the classes you truly
want to see. Also, arrive earlier to some of the popular classes
(Young Nails, etc.) because the seats will fill quickly.
>> 12. Register early at Salon Centric to get $20 off the
registration price. Since I was a student, I was able to get $10
off but $20 is muchhhhh better LOL. Also register early enough to
have the e-pass sent to you to avoid standing in the longgggg
e-pass reprint line. I was in that line :-(
>> 13. Wear comfy clothing. I wore jeans and flip flops the entire
time. Walking from the parking lot to the side where nail world is
held, is a longggg walk. Even longer if you have to park at the
hotel garage across the street.
>> 14. Be prepared to pay for parking. It was $15 each day.
>> 15. Leave your hotel, house, etc early enough to allow for
traffic, parking and walking so that you make it on time to the class.
>> 16. Pack a lunch/snack/water. On the first day, I didn't eat
lunch because I wanted to attend so many classes. It wasn't until
the evening I had a chance to eat. There was a cafe there, but
bringing your lunch is another option.
>> I've included some pics from the event--one with Debbie, one
with Holly and one with Jan when I received my finalist gift!!!
>> This event was amazing and I cannot wait to try out the things I
have learned!!!!
