At Nails Plus, one of the things we love most about our work is building relationships—with customers, with fellow business owners, and with the people behind the brands we carry in our online store and brick-and-mortar location.
We love hosting brand ambassadors from our top nail brands in the store. This summer, we were lucky to host Valentino Beauty Pure for a Meet and Greet with our customers.
To say this was a popular event is an enormous understatement. More than 200 people showed up for the event, and some were so excited to meet the Valentino crew, they camped out overnight!
Keep reading to hear more about this event, and what we learned from the top talents in our field.

Introducing Valentino Beauty Pure!
Founded by David Di Lorenzo, Valentino is located in West Palm Beach Florida. Di Lorenzo created a successful brand—and a new industry standard for excellence—by putting nail artists at the forefront of his business model.
Turns out trusting the expertise of the nail artists who do the work every day was a good move.
Today, Valentino is well known among nail artists and within nail product companies as a trustworthy, top-of-the-line brand whose collection is an industry leader.
The Valentino Meet-and-Greet Was A Great Success!
While the turnout for the Valentino Meet-and-Greet was unprecedented, we do frequently host special brand events in the store. Here’s what you can expect from a Nails Plus Meet-and-Greet:
- First, expect to learn something new. In each Meet-and-Greet, our brand partners share new products from their collection, provide up-close demos, and even each new, on-trend skills. For example, Gaby Torres demonstrated how to do a Russian gel manicure at her Meet-and-Greet in our store.
- Meet other local small business owners. Our Valentino event was sponsored by Magic Cup, a delicious smoothie and tea cafe; Shipley Do-Nuts, offering delicious handcrafted do-nuts and kolaches; and a favorite local food truck, Tacos Eduardo’s.
- Win cool nail stuff. The first 50 people at the Meet-and-Greet won VBP swag bags (including gel polish and powders included in the acrylic system) worth $150. And one lucky raffle winner went home with a Valentino Beauty Pure tabletop nail dust collector.
Lots to Love In The Valentino Swag Bag!
It’s too late to take home a VBP swag bag of your own, but it’s not too late to shop their products on your own. Here are the nail products included in their swag bag, all highly recommended by Nail Plus:
Cover Powder
Cover Powder by Valentino Beauty Pure extends the length of the nail bed and beautifully covers any imperfections on natural nails.
It is praised by nail artists for its perfectly fine powder consistency, quick activation time, and excellent adhesion.
Pure Acrylic Powder
Acrylic Powder by Valentino Beauty Pure is a self-leveling, true-color powder with a flawless finish. It’s also easy to work with and creates a bubble-free, even-toned finish.
Gel Color
Find out what all the fuss is about with VBP Gel Color. These gel polishes are richly-pigmented, long-lasting, and with a color variation that is unmatched.
