ISSE Long Beach Photos & Haul!

Good morning everyone! If you follow me on twitter you probably saw me tweeting pictures from the ISSE show in Long Beach, CA yesterday. ISSE stands for International Salon & Spa Expo. It was my first time going to this and it was awesome! There was a ton to do and see, a lot of great brands were there representing all kinds of beauty products...nails, hair, makeup etc. I ended up wandering around like a kid in a candy store then I bought a ton of polish. Since ISSE is open only to licensed folks the prices are the same as you would find somewhere like Cosmoprof, which helped me justify buying a ton of stuff. As soon as I walked in the first thing I saw was the Essie booth, I kid you not guys...it was ROWS of nail polish. I've never seen anything like it, I took pictures of most of the nail polish booths that were like this because it was just...wow! I think the only one I missed was Nubar, I was too busy shopping there lol!  Hope you guys enjoy the pictures, look for swatches of most of the stuff I bought within the next week or so! I will be a swatching machine lol!

Also...this post is pretty picture heavy so I've put most of it under a cut, click the read more button after the first picture to see everything!

Below was the Orly booth...nail polish heaven

I've never been before but it looks like fun. I'll take as many pictures as I can so I can share the whole thing with you guys!

Today I have Essie's Spring collection, the Navigate Her Collection to show you guys! I found this a couple weeks ago mixed in with the core Essie display at CVS. Hopefully by now it's out on a regular display...good thing there is a fabulous green in here that caught my eye among all those other Essie polishes!
