The polish making class sounds amazing, like I've never wanted to start my own brand but I've had ideas that I wished I could find. I think that's why I miss Rescue Beauty Lounge so much, every so often they would essentially open it up so you would create a pinterest board with a visual representation and then the RBL team picked a few winners and would work with those lucky jerks to create their polish. And then they would release it as a whole collection.
Ugh I loooooooooved RBL ❤ so sad they're no longer in business 😢 I treasure my RBL collection (about 20 bottles). It has its own special place in my lacquer storage lol
@@eyestoseeearstohear5486 Same same same, I hope Ji is off living her best life, though I would jump for joy if she started back up again. I love all my RBLs, which you can tell by the their ever-diminishing fill lines!
@@JillofAllTrades-inMI I hope so too and yes I would literally scream if RBL came back!! I used Look Rich, Be Cheap as an accent nail a few manis ago and it's still so gorgeous 😍
I’m also a person who gets super anxious or just avoids situations where I don’t know “how things work” and these videos would make me much more comfortable going ❤ PS I’m with you on the sucker vs lollipop debate!
I love how informative this video is. I'm going to the polish making class next year so it's good to know to prepare for it instead of just winging it. Oh my gosh, I teared up a little with the person that came up to you and shared her story that you helped her with your videos. Such a positive message. You never know how you influence others.
So glad you went this year again because I really enjoy your recap of the whole event and watching it makes me feel like I was there too. Because I'm based in Europe, I clearly cannot go for real, but that's okay because I would probably be overwhelmed by all the polish options.
This was awesome, thank you! It looked so fun, especially making your own polish. Love your colors! Edit: Aw love that your videos helped the one viewer feel comfortable enough to go. That's amazing!
Hi! I’m TwoDucks, and it was so great to meet you at the Expo. Thanks for sharing your haul, because I wanted to ask you what polishes you were most excited to purchase, but I fangirl blanked out. Please consider renaming the hot sauce shade you made “Sauce Boy”, because you called Rob that once in an old video and I’m still laughing about it.
I will say, echoing the subscriber who let you know your videos helped her, your video on PPU helped me so I was able to participate this month. I’m not new to indies, but PPU was a new experience for me that I felt better prepared having watched your video on it. So maybe these videos are long to make and edit, but they help a lot.
Thanks for sharing all the details, I know if I ever wanted to go to an event like this, hearing all the details about the experience beforehand helps so much 💜
Hillary, you did a great job which I knew you would your a natural. I love that extra hour with the VIP ticket, will try again when they go on sale to get my hands on one. I do take my budget in cash, with my card ready to use if needed. I like those wheeled bags, but need to have the weight on my shoulder as a reminder to stop spending lol. Love your haul, really sorry I couldn't find you at the end next year you'll be Mrs Rob.
I was waiting for your video to see what I missed! Thank you for making this. It sounds so incredible and Im glad you got to see so many friends. I hope to go one day! I would run straight to the Rogue table. I would love a review of Bridgerton. 😊😊
It was so awesome seeing you again, we totally q want a sticker to magnet conversion tutorial!! Polish class looked fun 😊❤ hope to see you again next year
Thanks for sharing. Seeing your excitement is so gratifying. I especially enjoyed the clip of the polish making and seeing the booths before the crowd hit. Enjoy your polishes!
Wooo!!! I'm loving watching this video, I'm local to PBE and I want to go next year so badly. I need to find a Chicago area nail polish club to join or something. :)
I was nervous going because I have social anxiety but I’m so glad that I did. It was so much fun!!! Such a fun community of really nice people. My husband was so happy to discover that everyone was really nerdy 😂 and he go so excited when people asked him what nail polish he was wearing. He refuses to take it off 😂
What a great video! You had a blast and it was obvious. Thank you for sharing. Awesome haul. Good thing you’ve made room got all your new treasure. I especially love your prugly quint.
Hello! New subscriber here! I just searched for videos about the 2024 PBE. I am new to polish, I found mooncat May 2023. But just started shopping Polish Pickup in January and from there have found MANY MANY more brands and subscriptions services and boxes to purchase from! Your footage is very helpful, I really hope to attend next summer! I will absolutely do the polish making class because that is something I would LOVE to know how to do!
Love this video! Your PPU info video is what brought me to your channel and now I'm hooked on indies! PBE definitely looks like fun once all over-stimulation, social anxieties, and spending limits are removed. I can attest that you are very nice and engaging in person :)
Wow. What a great haul. I’m definitely going to check out all these brands. Especially that last brand with the foaming sugar scrub. I don’t like when they don’t lather.
Loved this video!!! I’d love that polish making class. I don’t know if you like it much, but I LOVE your freebie KBShimmer polish from the PBE24 Meet & Greet “Sips About To Go Down”.
Id like it if you swatched everything bc its fun to see but yes i would like to see the Rogue for sure. That green is stunning. Looks like its not on their website.
So I finally was able to finish your video❤ it was so great to meet you in person! You have so many good ones, I think next year I will try not to go to PPU table and then go elsewhere because you got so many good ones! I too spent about $600 or so… probably more 😅
Loved the video! Love that your Mediocre Man got more gifts than you 😂 I also noticed a lot of new people at PBE this year and makers, too. It was refreshing and fun to see. The roller totes? 100% a need for this event for anyone who goes, haha. Good thing you have Rob, tho. Loved seeing you at PBE ❤
Hi! I am also autistic and really appreciated the footage and information. After learning more, while I'd want to go to the polish making class, I would hate everything else 😅
It was so great meeting you! I wish I would’ve thought of gifting you something! I honestly didn’t think I would even get a chance to say hi since it was my first time at pbe and i didn’t know what to expect plus i have wedding poo brain right now 🤪
I wish I could have gone! Hopefully next year! I would love to know your thoughts on that magnesium lotion once you’ve had a chance to use it! I suffer from tension headaches and wonder if it would actually help or not!
I actually used it on my neck and shoulders the other night and within 10 minutes my pain was almost gone! I highly recommend and will definitely repurchase when I run out!
Magnesium will also give you nightmares - so be careful about that. Only use it every other day or every 3 days if you are someone who finds that to be the case. But yes, very relaxing - you'll sleep like a log! :)
We didn't get a picture together but I did get a creepy picture of you and Carolina and motorcyclesandmanis talking while i stood right there talking to someone else 🤣
Stuart semple and anish Kapoor are just that petty. Kapoor got a hold of one of the pigments and dipped his middle finger in it for a photo so Semple made a glitter out of glass😂
Not sure which part you think is overblown, it did happen, though. I was peak online and art focused at the time and kept up with the Vantablack/Anish Kapoor/Stuart Semple news when it was happening.
I'm seriously sitting here sweating while watching this bc i havent bought polish since May & i'm going thru withdraw 😅😅 i'm looking up all these brands lol.. my bank account can sense the danger LOL
Did the room smell really strongly of nail polish while everyone was mixing their polishes or would you say there was pretty good ventilation? I would worry about getting a headache from all the fumes.
That cheese is for both of you, don't let Rob tell you otherwise! And it was awesome hanging out with you. The goblin to my gremlin 🤣
Ok but we need matching friendship jewelry that say goblin and gremlin now

A Minnesotan goodbye is when you say goodbye and then spend 20 more minutes talking in the entry way. I laughed out loud at that
How to Talk Minnesotan has the definitive guide
2 hours in my husband's family 😅
This is also a Michigan goodbye lol!
I’m also a person who gets super anxious or just avoids situations where I don’t know “how things work” and these videos would make me much more comfortable going ❤
PS I’m with you on the sucker vs lollipop debate!
I'm so glad you liked your bracelets, and i was awkward af too, no judgement here!
I love how informative this video is. I'm going to the polish making class next year so it's good to know to prepare for it instead of just winging it.
Oh my gosh, I teared up a little with the person that came up to you and shared her story that you helped her with your videos. Such a positive message. You never know how you influence others.
Omg, that lavender heart bubblewrap is ADORABLE! Also, do not throw away any of that bubble wrap or packaging, you'll need it for your destash!!
The s&s is hideous I love it... reminded me of your creation. This video was great to watch! Love all your polishes❤
So glad you went this year again because I really enjoy your recap of the whole event and watching it makes me feel like I was there too. Because I'm based in Europe, I clearly cannot go for real, but that's okay because I would probably be overwhelmed by all the polish options.
Love watching these videos. Would love to see live swatches of all the polishes.
What a wonderful recap! Thank you! I've never been and honestly, I just learned about this very recently, but hopefully one day I'll go!
This was awesome, thank you! It looked so fun, especially making your own polish. Love your colors!
Edit: Aw love that your videos helped the one viewer feel comfortable enough to go. That's amazing!

Please consider renaming the hot sauce shade you made “Sauce Boy”, because you called Rob that once in an old video and I’m still laughing about it.
Phoebe Moon of Moon Shine Mani gave me tips and a couple of years ago I made a set of polishes for my book club. The ladies all loved the sets.
Yay! I have been looking forward to your recap video!
Me too!
Lol Minnesota goodbye is a real phenomenon. You get up to leave a function and then stand around and talk for another couple of hours😂
I will say, echoing the subscriber who let you know your videos helped her, your video on PPU helped me so I was able to participate this month.

Thank you for sharing! I'd love to see a review of the Rogue collection even if you don't have the last polish!

Yesssss, so excited for the next hour!

It was so awesome seeing you again, we totally q
want a sticker to magnet conversion tutorial!! Polish class looked fun 😊❤ hope to see you again next year
Mitch Rocks is based on the character Mitch from Power Puff Girls. Got it during PPU and love it!
Omg I totally forgot about him hahaha
Thanks for sharing. Seeing your excitement is so gratifying. I especially enjoyed the clip of the polish making and seeing the booths before the crowd hit. Enjoy your polishes!
I love the cross stitch gift you received! So cute 💅🏼
I truly enjoy & appreciate your videos. Thanks!
Wooo!!! I'm loving watching this video, I'm local to PBE and I want to go next year so badly. I need to find a Chicago area nail polish club to join or something. :)
Loved getting to meet you fellow giant. 😂 You definitely convinced me to prioritize the polish making class for next year.
Ooooh, that blue monarch lacquer you bought. I neeeeeeeed! 😍
I think I saw they're going to list the leftovers on their site soon!
Watching this video made me cry because of the very, gentle, lovely, positive messages you send out. 💖
Thank you for your great recap as press. I appreciate your thorough video. I met you last year at the expo and enjoying talking to you.
Awesome video. Looks like a wonderful haul! I will see you next year and for sure get a picture next time.
I was nervous going because I have social anxiety but I’m so glad that I did. It was so much fun!!! Such a fun community of really nice people. My husband was so happy to discover that everyone was really nerdy 😂 and he go so excited when people asked him what nail polish he was wearing. He refuses to take it off 😂
Omg so many pretties!!! The perfect pruglies 🤩🤩 omg i wish they'd sell that online 💚🥺
Love your haul! It was great seeing you and Rob again. Maybe next year I will try to go to the Polish making class.
I really enjoyed this haul video. Makes me feel like I was there. That Sweet & Sour collection is perfection for you!
So sad I missed you this year! Glad you had a great time!
What a great video! You had a blast and it was obvious. Thank you for sharing. Awesome haul. Good thing you’ve made room got all your new treasure. I especially love your prugly quint.

I really hope I can go next year, if not, 2026 100%! Love the step by step and tips, thank you for all the care you put into your videos.
I just heard of this event - I think, last year. Enjoyed watching 🥰✨
Love this video! Your PPU info video is what brought me to your channel and now I'm hooked on indies! PBE definitely looks like fun once all over-stimulation, social anxieties, and spending limits are removed. I can attest that you are very nice and engaging in person :)

Subbed subpar stitches 😂❤
Thank you so much Hillary! Your narrative is almost as good as being there. ❤
That’s exactly why I also got GPL Solace of the Shadows! Not my usual pick but something about it just called to me too
Love your nanalan shirt!
Loved this video!!!
I’d love that polish making class.
I don’t know if you like it much, but I LOVE your freebie KBShimmer polish from the PBE24 Meet & Greet “Sips About To Go Down”.

Awesome video!!!! I'm gonna make it to PBE one of these years lol

I wish someone would make a Survivor TV show collection, my favorite show 😄
I accosted you outside the bathroom and said my 2nd awkward hi 👋🏼 Then didn’t get to chat again. It was a whirlwind!
Hi! I am also autistic and really appreciated the footage and information. After learning more, while I'd want to go to the polish making class, I would hate everything else 😅
It was so great meeting you! I wish I would’ve thought of gifting you something! I honestly didn’t think I would even get a chance to say hi since it was my first time at pbe and i didn’t know what to expect plus i have wedding poo brain right now 🤪
So fun to see even though I doubt I will ever go (not a fan of crowds, and it's a longer flight for me)
😍😍🤩🤩
Wow I can't believe I was an afterthought 😂😂
I knew you were gonna start some beef
I wish I could have gone! Hopefully next year! I would love to know your thoughts on that magnesium lotion once you’ve had a chance to use it! I suffer from tension headaches and wonder if it would actually help or not!
I actually used it on my neck and shoulders the other night and within 10 minutes my pain was almost gone! I highly recommend and will definitely repurchase when I run out!
@@MediocreManis that’s awesome! I’ll have to try it. Thanks for the update!
I'm playing on using my Marmite to make a soup base lol!
Dam’s marketing is hysterical. I got an email from them awhile back and it said “here’s your Dam nail polish coupon” and it still cracks me up 😂
I love that hahaha
12:36 I call them suckers, too! 😊
Magnesium will also give you nightmares - so be careful about that. Only use it every other day or every 3 days if you are someone who finds that to be the case. But yes, very relaxing - you'll sleep like a log! :)
Oh I didn't know Cat Tail was a Michigan brand either. I didn't get back to their table. Whoops.
I spent about $600 as well 😂 which is also less than last year for me, too! We did well!
We didn't get a picture together but I did get a creepy picture of you and Carolina and motorcyclesandmanis talking while i stood right there talking to someone else 🤣
The whole "drama" with the cloud gate artist and the pigment is I'm pretty sure an overblown internet tale
Stuart semple and anish Kapoor are just that petty. Kapoor got a hold of one of the pigments and dipped his middle finger in it for a photo so Semple made a glitter out of glass😂
Not sure which part you think is overblown, it did happen, though. I was peak online and art focused at the time and kept up with the Vantablack/Anish Kapoor/Stuart Semple news when it was happening.
I'm seriously sitting here sweating while watching this bc i havent bought polish since May & i'm going thru withdraw 😅😅 i'm looking up all these brands lol.. my bank account can sense the danger LOL
Did the room smell really strongly of nail polish while everyone was mixing their polishes or would you say there was pretty good ventilation? I would worry about getting a headache from all the fumes.
It was a little strong but they kept the doors open. Some people wore masks to help
Crystal Knockout polish is the “not my shade of purple” you’ve been declutterring. I hope you destash it if you know you’ll never wear it
Are you wearing a “White Castle” sweatshirt?
Lol yes and I have pants that match!
Mediocre Man. Hahahaha that's fantastic!
I am from Indonesia, live in Bali.. there is no class like this here.. i want to joint bcoz im nail polish junkie and mixing2 makes me satisfy
I had a dream about you last night and the message is profoundly simple, Hillary, Jesus loves you.
