Indie Shop Summer 2017 Interviews - Poetry Cowgirl Nail Polish

Hello Loves!!

It's that time again. Summer Indie Shop is fast approaching! 

In preparation for the upcoming Indie Shop on July 29th in San Francisco California, I've interviewed all the vendors that will be there. From today until the event, I will be posting interviews so that you can get to know each and every one of the faces behind the brands as well as what they'll be bringing and some fun facts about them. 

Now.... TO THE INTERVIEW!!!

Today I present to you Poetry Cowgirl Nail Polish!

What is your name and where are you from?

My name is Kristen Beals and I am originally from San Mateo, California. I currently reside just outside Tampa, Florida.

When did you start Poetry Cowgirl Nail Polish?

I started Poetry Cowgirl Nail Polish in June of 2015, from a paperwork aspect, and then launched on October 12 of 2015.

What do you love about what you do?

All of it really. I love seeing ideas come to life and creating new colors, and then seeing other people get excited over the things that I have created. It brings me so much joy to see manicures and nail art that customers have created using my polishes. Running a business is a strange beast, but the creative process is very rewarding for me.

Will this be your first Indie Shop? If yes, what are you excited about or looking forward to? If not, what do you like about vending at Indie Shop?

I have attended all of The Indie Shops save for one (the most recent in LA). I love being able to interact with customers face-to-face and spending time getting to know other makers. I am especially excited about this Indie Shop since the SF Bay Area is my home and the event is 3 days after my birthday (July 26th). My family is still in the Bay Area, so I will get to spend my birthday with my twin sister and my family prior to the event.

Will you have event exclusives or LEs for the event? If yes, what are they and are they ocean or mermaid themed?

Yes. I will have a VIP Bag Exclusive, an event exclusive, and an LE Duo that are all mermaid themed. Somehow as I was developing them they all took on a Little Mermaid vibe, so I named them accordingly.

From Left to Right:

VIP Bag Exclusive: "Party on the Surface"
Event Exclusive: "Under the Sea"

LE Duo: "Seashells for Sandals" Pink & Nude versions

The theme for the event is mermaids. Are you bringing other products that are ocean or mermaid themed? (Besides Exclusives or LEs)

Yes, I am working on a special nautical themed cuticle oil for the event, and several different bath teas. The bath teas are a new product for my brand that I will be debuting at The Indie Shop.

If you had the chance to turn into a mermaid, would you and why?
Probably not unless I could turn back, because I would miss driving my truck too much.

Do you love the ocean and if yes, what about the ocean do you like?

Yes. I am a Leo (fire sign) and so I am naturally grounded by the (opposite) ocean. I love sunning on the beach, and I have always gravitated towards the ocean when my soul needs calming. There is something very soothing about standing in front of something that vast and powerful.

Is there anything else that you would like people to know about you or Poetry Cowgirl Nail Polish?

My polishes are 5-free, cruelty free, gluten free, and vegan.

Thank you so much Kristen for taking the time to do this with me. I am excited for Indie Shop and I can't wait to stop by to say hi and shop.
