After a long (okay, way too long) break from in-person events, Espionage Cosmetics is officially BACK at IN-PERSON events! 🎉

We're kicking off our return to the real world at the 37th Annual Southern Festival of Books in Nashville, TN — October 18–19, 2025 — and you better believe we're bringing ALL the sparkle.

                 ✪ WHERE TO FIND US ✪

We'll be set up with a booth full of beauty, brains, and bold designs—ready to help you discover your next favorite nail-wrap look on the spot.

Here are some links to full lists of authors, Vendors, and events! Remember, we are in booth #45 all weekend so if you have down time you are always welcome to join us and shop around!

             ✪ WHAT'S COMING WITH US ✪

                    ✪ LITERARY-INSPIRED NAIL WRAPS ✪

Our bookish designs are making their grand return to the public — from fairy-tale magic to dark-academia vibes, classic literature, and even comic-book favorites. Find a design to match your favorite genre… or your favorite quote.

                         ✪ FAN FAVORITES, BACK IRL ✪

We're packing top sellers like Lunar Phase and Fibonacci, along with a huge selection of other designs we've restocked or just debuted.

              ✪ THE "GLITTER GRAVEYARD" SALE SECTION ✪

Yes, we're bringing discontinued designs and limited-edition pieces at special event pricing. First come, first served — because once they're gone from the Graveyard, they're gone for good.

•                 ✦ Exclusive event-only bundles and pricing!
• ✦ In-Person Product Demos! Stop by to have us show you in (it takes 10 seconds or less) how to apply your nail wraps! We also are chalk-full of pro-tips and best practices if you want to talk "nail wrap" shop!

This year's Southern Festival of Books is stacked with literary talent—and if you're as obsessed with words as we are, you're going to want to come early and stay all weekend.

✨ Just a few of the amazing authors in attendance include:

✦ Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, Grammy winners, and the iconic power couple behind the new children's book My Grandma and Grandpa Rock!

✦ Alix E. Harrow, award-winning fantasy author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January, The Once and Future Witches, and the Fractured Fables novella series.

✦ David Levithan, YA legend and co-author of Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist.

✪ ON A PERSONAL NOTE RE: WE'RE KINDA NERVOUS ✪

In-person events are where Espionage Cosmetics really cut its teeth — it's how we figured out who we were as a brand and how much we love seeing our fandom-focused customers IRL.

We'll admit: stepping back into the convention/event/festival circuit after such a long pause has us feeling a little out of practice, but that's exactly why we're excited to be back.

Every smile, every stop-by at the booth, every "OMG I've missed these wraps!" moment will help us find our rhythm again and remind us why we started doing this in the first place — to connect face-to-face with the community that built EC alongside us.

If you're headed to the festival, come say hi and help us hit the ground running again in the world of in-person events.
