Hi everyone! Last weekend my sister & I were at the Big on Bloor festival selling our nail products from our line - Beyond the Nail. The festival was held in Toronto on Bloor Street. The street was blocked off and there were TONS of booths where people were selling clothes, food, toys, sunglasses, nail polish and more. It was so fun! I was so shocked because a lot of people came specifically to see us! That was probably the best part about the show because it shows how much people really like our products! :) It was also nice to see people coming and supporting us because we were are a local indie nail polish brand. So awesome!
There was a pet store on Bloor Street that also had a booth out on the street and they were showing off some of their reptiles - snakes, chameleons, lizards, etc. I even got to hold a snake!! It was so creepy. I was hesitant at first because well.. it's a snake and I don't want to get bitten lol! But the handler said it was safe to hold it. Here I was holding the snake, afraid it was going to bite me, but what did it do instead? It wrapped itself on my arm and start to constrict! They are such powerful animals! They feel so silky and smooth, and feeling all their muscles move is so weird!
Okay, on to the pictures :)
This was our booth set up.
We had our decal board up on the left, two nail polish racks (that my sister MADE!! I am so impressed lol) and we had caviar beads and dotting tools laid out on the table.
We even posted some pictures of people's nail art/swatches of our products. That really helped people get an idea of what our nail products would look like.

This was our board that had all of our nail decals on them. They were on sale for $2.50 each, and we even put up some that were on sale (they were the sets that were missing a decal or two).
These were both of the shelves that my sister made for our nail polish! Aren't they awesome?? I thought they were too big at first, but they turned out to be PERFECT! They can hold three polishes in a row (front to back) which really helped since we made TONS of nail polish in preparation for the festival :)

You can really tell how big the shelves were!!
