💅👏💖firstly, thank you so much for your honesty and responsibility about the purchasing aspect, as someone with OCD for nail polish and a paltry salary,, it reinforces me to slow down buying. I'd also love to sponsor everyone, but I can't afford it. I appreciate you all and will watch, like and comment. TFS

Hey Nicloe Happy New Year!! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well ! I love Cirque Colors they have great Jellies and these were so pretty! I think you do a fabulous job and always with that very real honest opinion you always have (I respect that!!) I missed the gold toppers ...but I will live! Thank you for the swatches and don't sweat stuff just keep doing that voodoo that you do so well, and I'll keep an eye out for more! ;o)

Thank you for this video! Also, as someone who has had depression and anxiety most of my life, I am glad that you were candid with us about the impact on your videos. Mental Health needs to come first. That being said, pushing out 2 to 3 videos a week sounds extremely INTENSE because I'm aware of how much work goes on behind the scenes. I really like checking in with you for the newest releases so a decreased frequency wouldn't bother me so much. Keeping you healthy and your video is fun is more important. Keep up the great work!!

Thanks for your wishlist and comedy! Also, bring back public health! I love when we care and cherish our fellow human beings.

I'm mainly here for the amazing humour and memes! Since I mostly watch nail polish swatch videos as visual ASMR or a way to get my fix of polishing without having to take off my fresh mani, seeing you painting your thumb was always super satisfying! So no complaints here, not that I'd complain anyway since I understand mental health struggles waaaay too well. You do whatever you need to!

Thanks for this video! Love seeing your beautiful face (and nails) anytime you are up to sharing! 💜

I’m really sorry to hear about the struggles, you just take care of yourself and do what feels right for YOU. The consistent quality in your swatches is top notch no matter how many fingers you decide to show us 💅 I purchased the gold flakie topper on sale during BF so it was super discounted! I have yet to use it though because it is still the most expensive polish I own 😂

What is the lipstick are you wearing because omg I love it! Also do your videos on how comfortable it is for you!!! I don't mind a single thumb girl so you're good! 😊

long time lurker (on my personal), first time commenting lol. bb the only one that'll be the most critical on how you go about things is you! your fans/subscribers will be excited to see any video from you, because it's you! do what makes you happy, but also what makes sense for your well-being! happy new year!

You take care of you! 🙂☮️❤️ I like your videos when you do them & however you do them.

The new swatches are good. Just prioritize you and your wellbeing, if doing less intensive swatches helps, then do it! I don’t need to see four fingers painted with the same polish to know how it looks and if I like it.

I’m sorry you are going through a rough patch Nicole. Don’t feel bad for self care it’s important to take care of YOU!!!! I hope it all passes soon. Don’t let the bastards get you down.

I don't mind the change. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Do your best, girl! We're here and appreciate you showing up however you want and are able to. I hope you have a better 2025!

I’m sorry you’ve been struggling mentally Nicole, your thumb swatches are more than fine! I always was so impressed with how you’d do full hand swatches for every single release, it really is so time consuming to do. Can’t wait to see more of your videos again, take care of yourself :)

Thumb only is great ❤ thanks so much Nicole we appreciate anything you’re up for!!

I watch for your honest opinions and humor! Your swatches are great too, but definitely don't need to do the whole hand. Do whatever you need for yourself, we'll be here no worries. Also you calling yourself out on the receipt was gold to me. ❤😂

I thought the video was just fine. I mostly care about your detailed descriptions and honest feedback about a polish. I’m sorry you’ve been struggling. Do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself.

Any time you post is awesome whether you post once a month or 10 times a month. Xoxo gotta take care of yourself before you worry about us! ❤

On posting schedules: make is sustainable for you! I'm here for your words and opinions, less the visuals. Some visual is good, but you should try 'doing the least' for a bit to give yourself some breathing room :) The thumb swatches are more than enough, trust me!

I was a Cirque skeptic for a while (by that I mean I was broke LOL) so when I finally tried them I was floored by the formula; so good! Like almost flawless. I was pleasantly surprised, but also upset because $$$

I honestly didn't give the change in swatching a second thought till you mentioned it. However you do it is fine with me. BTW, your makeup in this video is very flattering on you.

I personally just want you to take care of yourself, however you need to. I love your reviews and your blog, and keeping it real with one finger or thumb is great. I honestly don't know how y'all swatchers can go through 5-10 polishes with glitter bombs, magnetics, skittles and not destroy your nails and cuticles anyway. I like seeing your application, hearing your thoughts on the formula, whether you had to add thinner, and then different lighting when you can to see the color. Fab review, sending you good vibes and healing wishes for 2025.

the thumb-only swatches are lovely, its just wonderful to see your face on my timeline!

I already commented but I'm extra so 🤷🏻‍♀️. For whatever it's worth, I only ever do one finger in a polish anyway so I don't need to see what they look like on a full hand. I don't have the mental or physical energy to do a full manicure almost ever so I just replace a nail or two a day as polish grows out. It's an ever-changing skittle that people think I do on purpose rather than being too mentally ill to do a standard mani.

Moving to thumb swatches is fine with me. I'd be fine if you swatched each color on a different finger and had a collection skittle at the end. I'd rather have the videos than have fewer videos that are some arbitrary version of "correct." We want to see the nail polish and we want to hear your opinion. Neither of those things require full-hand swatches.

12:29 ooh bling bling!!🥇 Showing off that collection lol Hope you feel better, your thumb is lovely HNY 🎉

for the love of god, woman, drop that lipstick/lipgloss! I literally could look nowhere else, that lip color is mesmerizing! ❤🙏

Sorry to hear you've been struggling! Brain stuffs is no joke. Good job finding a way to be kinder to yourself. :) Your friend is so right.

Oh, and I received the Precious Moment as a Christmas present. I didn't see reviews for it, I just saw the color change when I was on the What's Up Beauty site and added it to my wishlist. I haven't been able to use it yet, but am so excited for it.

Trinket is so pretty even without flash. And yes, do whatever you want for swatches. We don't need all of the nails!

The rippling of the polish after the 2nd topcoat layer is something I've come across when trying to do a second coat of QDTP over a shimmer polish too soon. It's happened to me a few times with different shimmer polishes and different brands of QDTP so now I won't attempt a second topcoat layer any less than a full night afterwards to avoid that weird rippling effect. Also, do what you need to do to take care of yourself. I enjoy your content regardless of whether you're swatching full hand or single nail, could be a swatch stick, it's your opinions and your humour that keep me watching.

You're at 10.1k! yay!

Love your work! That lip color is awesome! What are you wearing?

Please do whatever feels feasible! It's gonna be okay. Sending lots of good vibes ♥

Hi Nicole! Most important thing is that you take care if yourself! We are here for your expertise and honesty.

Do what’s best for you! If that’s thumb swatches only, that’s great. If you need to take a break from posting entirely, I support that as well. I miss your videos, but life is not smooth. Do whatever you need to do for you. ❤

Hi! I apologize (because this is not the point of the video) but what products are you wearing on your lips? Because it looks great!

New subscirber here. You're doing a fantastic job! Keep it up :}

Your best friend Michelle gave you very good advice and she is correct!

Supporting you prioritizing/doing what’s necessary for your mental health ❤ I personally love to hear your perspective on polishes and brands/etc. you’re the first person who taught me about the soak off method, for example. You’re a delight, and your edits always get a smile on my face if not a full on laugh. You help remind me to not let this brutal world make me hard (Kurt Vonnegut poem) I think everyone here would want you to do what’s best for yourself. Sending you good vibes~

Yay for the Dancing Gingerbread! I wasn't expecting his little cute self at the end. But yes, swatching on your thumb is totally cool with me. Especially if it makes your swatching life a bit easier. Here's to a wonderful 2025 Nicole! 🎉🥂

Hi Nicole, so happy to see your video! Please do whatever works best for you. I’m just happy to see what you have for us ❤

Honestly: your channel, your choice. Do what works best for you. Also, THAT DANCING GINGERBREAD PERSON IS MY MOST ANTICIPATED HOLIDAY SEASON CHARACTER!!!! Thank you for using it again in your outro!! ❤🤎💚❤🤎💚

You are your priority. Take care of yourself first. Posting can wait ❤

As a warning, about Beyond polish: If you are buying something available on a polishes official site it's probably fine but if you're buying something that's sold out on the official site and see it on Beyond Polish I would not trust it. I ordered 5 polishes from a sold out collection and three of them were fakes, only two of them were the actual polish from the collection. Labels torn off on the bottom of bottle, a creme instead of a jelly (it was a collection of jellies)... I was really disappointed.

I think it's very common to only show the nail polish on one finger. So I don't care if it's "only" the thumb..... I enjoy your videos very much and want to see more of them, so if that's the way to make it happen, then so be is! 🫶🏻

Not only did I not notice the omission of full-hand swatches until you pointed it out, but I actually prefer it. I almost always skip over them to get to the next polish! Do what’s best for YOU! 💖

I just ordered South Sea Pearl it looks beautiful! We just want to see you ❤ it’s all good hun ❤

sending all the love your way! just your thumb being swatched is all that need to see the shade and decide if I want or need it. if it means a better safer happier you than by all means do what needs to be done, and only swatch what your heart feels is best!
