Ticket sales for next year’s Polish & Beauty Expo are opening soon! When: December 1st, at 8PM CST/9PM ESTWhere: https://polishandbeautyexpo2025.eventbrite.comWhat: Polish & Beauty Expo (PBE) is an annual US event that began in 2020. It aims to provide in-person connections for indie nail polish and beauty makers with customers and fans. Organized by the KBShimmer owner, Christy Rose, PBE is a showcase for nail polish and beauty vendors from across the world. The 2 day event offers shopping, learning, and the opportunity to connect with brands and other polish fans. I have attended the event as Press for the past two years and I always have a blast!! I’m usually running a bit amok with snapping photos and taking video for the event. So if you see me, please do stop me, say hello, and grab a selfie with me if you’d like. I enjoy meeting others at these events and I would love to meet you!A note from Christy with reminders and changes for this year:
VIP and VIP Bundle ticket numbers have increased! But even with the increase, not everyone that wants VIP will be able to get them.
Polish Making Workshop ticket numbers have increased. Workshop attendees must also have tickets for the Sunday shopping day and are limited to attending only 1 session. No exceptions, as this enables as many people as possible to be able to experience this workshop. Children 12+ only. No non-ticketed guests will be allowed; each attendee requires a ticket (contact the PBE team if you have questions or concerns about their policies.
Eventbrite claims to have a cart hold. We have that set for 10 minutes. Once you get tickets in your cart, do not hit the back button, change screens, do anything but check out. There is no cart icon to bring you back to the tickets if you close out of move off of the checkout screen and you will lose those tickets. Safari is not the friendliest for checking out, so I suggest you use a computer on Firefox or Chrome if you can.
Check back! Due to the cart hold, things will show sold out even if people have not paid. After 10 minutes, tickets may open up again. So refreshing the page starting at 10 minutes after may allow you to snag one of those coveted tickets. I will work through refund requests as quickly as I can, but please allow 24 hours if you make a mistake for me to get that processed.
PayPal is the only payment method we are accepting through Eventbrite. Make sure you have your account set up, or click on the option to use PayPal as a guest to process the payment.
Like last year, taxes and Eventbrite fees will be added on by Eventbrite at checkout. There will be a dedicated chat thread, and post approval will be on. Negative posts complaining about not getting VIP or workshop tickets will not be approved. There will be a wait list thread posted 12/02, time TBD. Rude comments will not be tolerated and please don’t make me cry.
There is still only 1 swag bag per person, and you must be there in person to pickup your swag bag. No exceptions.
The hotel block will be post on or after 12/2, so only ticketed attendees take up rooms.
I am so excited for PBE 2025! I hope you are too! Please join the facebook group to stay informed! I will also be posting photos from the 2024 event in the facebook group soon. Don’t miss out!
