Hello lovely readers! Some of you may already know that I attended the inaugural Polish Convention (PolishCon) that took place on September 17th at the Loyola Campus in Chicago, Illinois. I was one of the lucky ones who score a fabulous VIP Swag Bag and today I am reviewing the content for you.
Keep reading after the jump for all of the fabulous details!
The inaugural PolishCon hosted indie vendors who offered an array of nail polish, nail art, and hand care products that included vinyls, cuticle balms, and cuticle oils, among other products. There were a limited number of VIP tickets for sale, which included the VIP Swag Bag that I am reviewing today as well as early admission to the event. Also including in the a ton of discount coupons and scratch cards that offered everything from a free polish to a discount code.
The content of the VIP Swag Bag varied, as some of the makers offered different polishes from their existing lines for inclusion in the bags. Opening this bag was a real treat and I am excited to show you my bag content today!
Some of the polishes included in the VIP Swag Bag were created specifically for the bag (shown with asterisk). I have swatches of these for you as well.
