News Article - A Big E reunion

Part of the Big E excitement for two Springfield natives rises from the reunion of two sisters and the products they dreamed up 20 years ago to buff-to-beauty all the fingernails in the world. Donna Taras of Longmeadow rose at 4 a.m. the Tuesday before the Big E opened and drove to Kennedy Airport to meet her sister and partner, Royce Taras, who now lives in Durban, South Africa. It was their first meeting in 18 months since they changed their business name to Nailbuffs International.

There, outside Door 8 of the Better Living Center, as they catch up on family news, they are also offering free nail analyses and free buffing demonstrations.

"It's like our second debut, all these years after starting at Steiger's, and showing everyone, all ages, all skin tones, male and female, how to beautify nails without polish," said Taras, buffing as she spoke. "We never dreamed one of us would have to travel thousands of miles to go to the Big E together again," Royce added
