Cocktails & Colors 2016

Good afternoon!  I hope you are all having a great Thursday!  Today we are going to take a look at this year’s Cocktail & Colors event.  Cocktail & Colors is the indie nail event that takes place after hours during Cosmoprof.  While this event does not have any relation to Cosmorprof, the timing is perfect because so many indie makers and blogger are in the same area at the same time.  This year’s event was hosted by Different Dimension, Glisten & Glow, and Cupcake polish and included tons of great indie brands.  Today’s post will be VERY picture heavy but I hope you all take a moment to check out the maker’s gorgeous tables and you take the time to visit each one.  Let’s get started!

First up we have the cute pirate shipped them table from Glisten & Glow.  This year Jill was highlighting the new Experience the Islands collection and the upcoming Pirate’s Booty collection.  These lacquers were absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait to share more in the near future!
