Noodle & Pure Imagination look stunning! Here's an embarrassing story: one time a food delivery person said to me "The food smells great!" and I just instinctively said 'YOU TOO!" cause I assumed they would say "Have a good night!"... Every time I think about it I wanna crawl into a hole and never come out.
I opened the door for a food delivery as the guy was leaving, my dog tried to runout and I yelled “stop right there!” The guy froze and looked back so scared 😂
i called my first grade teacher “daddy” on accident and i found a note in my 6-year old handwriting saying “I called Mr ____ daddy”. it was stressing me out even back then 😅
Kelly, your bells story was hilarious! 😂 The old feeling doesn’t get any better. It’s so bizarre to feel young on the inside, but then things like your bells story happens or your doctors start being younger than you or worse the phrase “when I was your age” slips out against your will or you start to really enjoy the music in the grocery store that reminds you how quickly time is passing 😊
Haha, AMEN. It’s weird, getting old. It’s like a surprise one day, when something slips out of your mouth, that you’re fine with, but everyone around you is confused. Your description is perfect. It’s like it accidentally starts happening 😂
Omg I laughed out LOUD at the bells story. That is hilarious! This makes me feel extra old because you're like 20 years younger than me! 😂 As for theses polishes, I love Noodle, For The Dreamers, and Pure Imagination.
I think the comment, "be there with bells on" is very British. We say it all the time. My entire family. I have never had anyone actually think I was going to be bringing bells with me though! LOL! Too funny!!
I haven't bought any china glaze in so long! I work for the NHS and have found that some people of the older generation (and I'm not young!) will laugh if you offer an appointment for 2.30 and they comment that it's not for their teeth - took me a while to get the joke... Tooth Hurty 😂 Also just saw Wonka on Friday for my birthday and it was so magical and wholesome. I really enjoyed it! X
As an English Gen X I've always known anything "with bells on" to mean that something is a bit extra. So we also have the expression "all the bells and whistles" which is the same meaning where you go all out to be full on fancy, and you can apply it to anything!
I grew up in Texas but moved to CT when I was 16 and my boys are always teasing me about my expressions but the joke’s on them because now that they’re 30 and 33 they’re starting to say them too!
I love your story (and swatches!!!). I say *with bells on* all the time, but I am much older than you are (I’m about to celebrate the 27th Anniversary of my 30th birthday in a few days ). C’mon, enjoy a little chuckle at my expense! 🎉
I drive a school bus. And the kids were being really crazy today. I told them they needed to settle down and I could sit there and wait until the cows come home before I continued my route to take them home. They looked at me and then looked around and said cows where are their cows, so I know exactly how you feel. 😂
i love "i'll be there with bells on"!!! i say that too. a lot of times if someone asks me how i am i say "oh i'm just ducky!" that one trips people up LOL.
This is a brand I don't typically buy because they don't typically have the more unusual colors I tend to go for, but Wonka and Pure Imagination are a nice change from their normal colors.
Oh my gosh your fun fact triggered a memory. I did Morris dancing in high school for which you often dance wearing bells and we were performing on the spring equinox my senior year but some rain made us late so I had to book it school so as not to miss first period but one of my bells got stuck on my ankle so it sounded like Santas sleigh as I sprinted to class. I heard every class door open as I passed and I've never wished more for a hole to swallow me up!! Thanks for the review as always!
Agree! I didn’t realized it existed until it was mostly sold out at my Walmart, but I did find Chocolate Cartel, a brown linear holo. It’s beautiful and I absolutely love it!
I definitely use that expression but I am much older than you as well. That's so funny that she didn't know what it meant 😂 Something I say alot when people call me the wrong name that people don't understand the meaning of is "call me anything but don't call me late for dinner" most people are like "what ...👀" 😂
I love your story about the bells. I don’t know the origin but it has always meant eagerly or enthusiastically. I still hear it used she was just a little young.
Aww great video Kelli! And can I just say how much I loved your “bells on” expression because I also use it and have used it for years!! 🥰 People have to get with it right?! They should know that one!! 🤣😂
@@KelliMarissa no need to be embarrassed. None. It’s something I would say … 100%. It’s part of why it’s so funny to me. I can see myself in that situation. Heck, I was in Los Angeles a few years ago for a deposition. I realized I didn’t have my hoes with me and didn’t think I should go without. I asked the person downstairs at the hotel where I could find hoes. I got an odd look that I didn’t understand. My attorney and I walked to a Walgreen’s or CVS. No hoes. We found a Ross. I asked the same question if two employees. It took the THIRD time of reviving an odd look to understand WHY I was getting that look. Oops. It seems I should have said pantyhoes or tights. 🤷🏻♀️😂😂😂😂😂 I love telling that story. It cracks me up EVERY time. 🤪
I think I'm going to have to get a few of these, especially with your link because that's a great price for CG polish! I see it in stores between $7-9. Interestingly, I was really into CG polish until recently too. Looking forward to checking them out again.
I'm from the south and I have a variation of the bells saying that is: I'll be there with rings on my fingers and bells on my toes. Don't really know where I got that from or if i just had to make it my own. Either way I still say it to this day. I'm a bit older than you though. I saw someone else do a swatch of the salon perfect Wonka collection earlier todayand got to say salon perfect takes the win on this one. The purple abs real ones are the only ones that come close to being a pretty as the salon perfect collection. You've got to check them out for sure. Love your reviews. For the record you are my favorite person for nail swatches. There's just no one that has it all going like you. Stay sweet and true to yourself. Ryan is a lucky man just hope he knows that.
The shimmery polishes look amazing and $5 is such a bargain for that! Also, as a gen z-er myself I have also never hear of the bells saying but I like it.
I found these at the store a couple days after you shared in your Instagram and I ended up getting for the dreamers and pure imagination! I love them both!
So I already have this collection in the minis, i have to say i was really impressed with the formulas and all the colours really but 'for the dreamers' was the stand out for me As for with bells on is a very british saying as others have commented so seems so normal to me 😂 Great review as always Kelli, thank you ❤xxx
For the Dreamers is quite nice, though I think I have something close enough to that from the dollar store already. I like the mix of glitters and creams.
Wow I’m so early! These are fantastic. I can always count on your videos for the most accurate swatches😍 I’m shocked at how well they did with this collect. I agree, they haven’t been killing it as of lat, but wow. Def picking a few up!
Ty for the S&R! I really appreciate your honest thoughts on polishes, and that you always stay positive even if a polish isn't your favorite. The specialty finishes look really interesting (the colors of the cremes aren't for me), but I think I probably have colors that are similar enough already. I have OPI's Tealing Festive (similar to Noodle) and I think Pure Imagination looks quite like Mooncat's Moonwalk. I do love For the Dreamers though!!!! Will add to my Beyond Polish wishlist. I will not lie, I'm a millenial from the US Northeast and I have never heard the expression "with bells" before! I've heard "all the bells and whistles" but that doesn't seem to mean anything remotely similar 😂. Embarrassing story: I didn't know there was a new Willy Wonka movie coming out until you posted this video. The only non-streaming TV I watch is sports and they don't tend to do movie trailers during the commercials.....
😂 I say that all the time. I love this collection. I have heard other people complain about the pink polishes application. The brown polish kind of looks like a jelly or crelly finish. But over all I love it. I am so happy you reviewed this collection. I was afraid you stopped reviewing china glaze. I always look for your reviews of china glaze because my nails and skin tone are the same as yours, it gives me a good idea of what a polish will look like on me plus you are very informative about the polish too.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! They did stop sending me their polishes for a long time, probably because I was giving them negative reviews, but I do really enjoy swatching them and sharing my thoughts!
I really do want to see this movie. I do also like these colors. Normally randomness in a collection throws me off but this isn't a holiday collection so it works. Ha Ha love the story. I feel "old" often but hey I will embrace my age.
My favorite/most embarrassing phone whoopsie was years ago at work. I was having a quick chat with April in HR, and at the end of the conversation, I reflexively said, "Love you!" It was all fine, but I was totally mortified.
While not stoked with this collection at all, Pure Imagination is a saving grace. They pulled out all stops with that one. For the Dreamers looks like it belongs in a Barbie movie. They would have been better off doing a bright orange with green shimmer, a bright indigo with little round, blue glitters in it (blueberry for Violet, who's turning violet lol) and a jelly white with matte hex glitters of different sizes in green, blue, yellow and orange-red for gobstoppers. Just my imagination running wild here, as it always does in your vids. Kelli, I really appreciate all your hard work and dedication. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions on everything and your swatches are the best on YT, hands down.
Hi Kelli. Thank you for swatching this collection for us. My favorite shades are Wonka, For the Dreamers and Pure Imagination. I feel the other ones are just ones that you can get in other brands and are not that unique. If I would pick any up I would definitely get Pure Imagination, because like you, i love purple. Anyways, Happy Holidays Kelli and now I am going to go watch your Vlog. Have a wonderful day. Much love from New England. ❤
Not an expression but my boyfriend always gives me a hard time about my “Midwest goodbyes”. He says that he always plans for an hour after the said time because I’ll get distracted with another story that comes out of nowhere even though I’ve said goodbye and have done “ope well I’d better head out” 5 times. His family is from Massachusetts so when it’s time to leave, they leave lol. Pure Imagination was my favorite out of the collection! I might have to pick that one up.
I had a similar idiom experience a few weeks ago! I went to a gas station and was asking for something behind the counter and the guy working (who I'm pretty sure was also Gen Z) said it was the last one, to which I replied "it's a red letter day!" and he had NO idea what I was talking about.😂
Kelli I 100% still say this all the time I promise, but this story has made me feel old now too, LOL. I would be mortified if someone told me not to bring any bells -- I am still laughing btw -- though it does make them sound like a complete kill-joy ("Ma'am, please NO bells, your enthusiasm is unwarranted and we prefer our appointments to be devoid of any level of joy"). Also WHY do we say these things when we make appointments? I swear I totally do it too and I tell you what: I AM LYING Y'ALL! Since when am I thrilled to be seeing my doctor or gynae or dentist? Like, who am I trying to kid here? 😂
I'm an Elder Millennial (TM) and I've definitely used the phrase "I'll be there with bells on" before, but I'm also the kind of person who would deadpan "oh, you don't need to wear any bells" even though I knew perfectly well what you meant 😂
So funny that I got an add for the movie before the video started 😅 I guess For the Dreamer have the same problem as the Frosted Metals from Holo Taco, it looks awesome in person but really bad on pictures and video. If I saw the purple and teal somewhere in Walmart or any store I will buy them but I won't really make a special purchase for those 😅
I love Willy Wonka. Pure Imagination is my favorite. Wonka should have been named Golden Ticket. But i may pick up a couple of these. The cremes just didn't make me feel Wonka happy. The options for the names and colors were endless. I was hoping for an Oompa Loompa color. An Everlasting Gobstopper. They just seemed to drop the ball creatively on this one. But still pretty shimmers and glitters
These look fun! I definitely like pure imagination and Wonka the best. Omg I say, “be there with bells on” too! 😂😅 I have no idea where it comes from. My best friend growing up said it all the time. Meow I feel old too 🤦🏻♀️ I also say oopsy daisy and geez Louise… there are actually so many old timey phrases I use. Okey dokey 😂❤️ Thanks for another great review!
Oh no Kelli. That story was hilarious. When I tutor 5th grade, we teaching them expressions like that. Here is a story. One girl asked to change clothes for church so I took her to the assistant principal to ask of we could a few minutes before dismissal. She said yes, but don't be in there, "primping." The girl had no idea. The assistant principal was maybe 10 years older than me. Lol.
Pure Imagination and Noodle are my favorites. I don’t like their creams either Kelli. I have a beautiful pink from them and it’s the hardest application I have ever tried. This pink is probably the same formula. They are pretty though, I just wish they’d get it right or give up. Thanks dear. Appreciate you so much!
There was a trend called Morris Dancing that would have men wearing shoes and hats with bells as well as carrying sticks with bells! The Cambridge Dictionary has the origin down as "US informal"
My husband is 5 years younger than I am and he ROASTS me when I say ol timey sayings like “be there with bells on!” Now I just do it to see what his reaction is 😂
I've heard that expression but I'm an "elder Millennial" 😂 Sometimes I think Gen Z is living such a highly curated life they are totally unexposed to anything that came before them. I've seen posts of them being baffled by CDs? Come on, your parents have those! I grew up knowing what an 8 track player was even though we never had one in the house. I watched & listened to media from outside my generation.
I am so surprised to see China Glaze on your channel again…didn’t they get cranky with you for not loving two of their collections? Idk, I remember there being tea 😂 I love your reviews as always!!!! ❤❤❤
Oh my goodness I say “with bells on” or “with knobs on” all the time! I didn’t realize that wasn’t said anymore 😂 Um, my “I feel old now” moment this week was when my vocal student wanted to learn Reflection and I asked if she wanted the original Mulan movie version or the Christina Aguilera version from the CD… and then she was like, “The CD?” And I was like, “Yes track 6 on the CD it was her debut album!” I had to explain how CDs worked. How we had to actually go to the mall/Music Store to buy them and hope they hadn’t sold out. And if you didn’t get it you’d go home and call your friend on your LANDLINE PHONE (couldn’t call them from the mall because cell phones were a nope… maybe from the pay phone at the mall) and see if they got the CD. And if they did you’d go over to their house to listen and maybe burn a copy to cassette 😅😂 she was astounded. Agog. Truly beside herself.
I always appreciate the little phrases people say, especially when they aren't the current buzzwords. It shows who you are as an individual person. Repeating an older phrase does not make you look ancient or uncool. If you get perturbed by hearing something out the ordinary, you're the one who has a problem
As a word nerd I really appreciate your research into "with bells on" - now I'm curious to see what Merriam Webster says. I now call anyone in their 20s or 30s "dear", so, yeah, I'm old.
Okay wait..had to come back after the bells story. I say that all the time (Gen X) but someone literally did show up at my office with BELLS ON. I’m a hearing specialist and this patient came in the other day and I was behind my desk so I didn’t see at first, but she had some hardcore jingle bells intertwined with her shoe laces. I said, “Your hearing aids aren’t working, are they?” and she said, “No! How did you know?!” I just laughed it off and said “Lucky guess.” There was no way she could hear well and still have those damn bells on. 😂😂
The be there with bells on story made me laugh. I’m GenX and didn’t think it was a weird thing to say. The receptionist’s response made me feel old, but I kinda am.
Lol, the first time I really heard the "with bells on" expression was when you told another fun fact story... I think it was about going to your eye doctor? 😂
@KelliMarissa hahaha.... I feel like this was at least a year ago? You mentioned finding out that the eye/vision problem was only because your contact was backwards
@@hjz_magenta8439 hmm I might have mentioned this story on my vlog channel but the eye issue you might be mixing me up with someone else haha 😅 I just went for a regular checkup and found out I had holes in my retinas!
So I bought noodle & pure imagination and pure imagination was not what I was expecting I think I got a bad batch it doesn’t look like other swatches I’ve seen it was a very sheer purple that was hard to work with. It had shimmer but it was more silver than gold it seemed like more of a topper. They refunded me but it was sold out so I couldn’t try a different bottle 😢
Lol, I’m close to your age and haven’t heard it. But I’m sure you heard some stuff in GA that was new to you - everywhere has different sayings I suppose 😅
I looked it up and apparently "Noodle" is one of the main characters in the new movie (Willy Wonka's assistant)! Great video as usual Kelli ❤
Ohh thanks for letting me know haha!!
@@KelliMarissa u should do some polish give aways.
Noodle & Pure Imagination look stunning!

Ooh so many people are commenting that it's a better collab collection than this one haha I have to check it out!
Agree! I didn’t realized it existed until it was mostly sold out at my Walmart, but I did find Chocolate Cartel, a brown linear holo. It’s beautiful and I absolutely love it!
@@KelliMarissa I actually really liked the China Glaze collection and was going to buy it until I saw the Salon Perfect polishes pop up.
Ive been wating for this review!!! Since the collection came out I was like I cant wait to see what Kelli has to say😂
Haha I finally got em!! 😋❤️
@@KelliMarissa will you be reviewing the Salon Perfect ones? 😊
This polish collection was the one that I was most excited for. There were fewer candy/chocolate themed polishes but it was really beautiful 😍😍
I was really impressed with these!!!
I definitely use that expression but I am much older than you as well. That's so funny that she didn't know what it meant 😂
Something I say alot when people call me the wrong name that people don't understand the meaning of is "call me anything but don't call me late for dinner" most people are like "what ...👀" 😂
HAHAHA I love that expression 🤣🤣🤣
I love saying old timey phrases!
Noodle (of course) and For the Dreamers are the 2 I picked up from this collection.
Ooh you picked great ones!!
I love your story about the bells. I don’t know the origin but it has always meant eagerly or enthusiastically. I still hear it used she was just a little young.
Yeah definitely a young'n haha!!

the second coat of pure imagination took it up 10 notches it is SO pretty! something i wouldn’t expect from china glaze
It really made all the difference! I wonder how it would look as one coat over a deep purple creme, I bet it would be magical!

Lovely collection! Don't like golds in general but it pairs so well with brown! The milk chocolate brown!! ❤
I really am impressed with how well the colors seem to go together! You can tell they thought a lot about this color story!
My favorite/most embarrassing phone whoopsie was years ago at work. I was having a quick chat with April in HR, and at the end of the conversation, I reflexively said, "Love you!" It was all fine, but I was totally mortified.
Hahaha literally me every time I hang up the phone 🤣🤣
for the dreamers is really the only one im considering
While not stoked with this collection at all, Pure Imagination is a saving grace. They pulled out all stops with that one. For the Dreamers looks like it belongs in a Barbie movie. They would have been better off doing a bright orange with green shimmer, a bright indigo with little round, blue glitters in it (blueberry for Violet, who's turning violet lol) and a jelly white with matte hex glitters of different sizes in green, blue, yellow and orange-red for gobstoppers. Just my imagination running wild here, as it always does in your vids. Kelli, I really appreciate all your hard work and dedication. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions on everything and your swatches are the best on YT, hands down.
Hi Kelli. Thank you for swatching this collection for us. My favorite shades are Wonka, For the Dreamers and Pure Imagination. I feel the other ones are just ones that you can get in other brands and are not that unique. If I would pick any up I would definitely get Pure Imagination, because like you, i love purple. Anyways, Happy Holidays Kelli and now I am going to go watch your Vlog. Have a wonderful day. Much love from New England. ❤
Oh yay I'm glad you enjoyed these polishes too! Happy holidays to you!! 🥰❤️
The new Wonka movie comes out the day after my birthday, and I will be there, bells or no bells! ❤
I like the color story, I think I would definitely get most of them :) I did not know about the expression 😅😅
Haha! Well apparently it's obsolete now anyway 😆😆😆
@@KelliMarissa Ngl I would've been confused like the nurse that took your appointment😅
Do you also have Salon Perfect's Wonka collection? If so, would love to see a comparison vid!
Not an expression but my boyfriend always gives me a hard time about my “Midwest goodbyes”. He says that he always plans for an hour after the said time because I’ll get distracted with another story that comes out of nowhere even though I’ve said goodbye and have done “ope well I’d better head out” 5 times. His family is from Massachusetts so when it’s time to leave, they leave lol.
Pure Imagination was my favorite out of the collection! I might have to pick that one up.
will you the salon perfect wonka collection?! the green looks amazing!
Wonka, Noodle (that name made me cackle 😂) and Pure Imagination (the literal BEST one of the whole collection) are my favorite! ❤
I had a similar idiom experience a few weeks ago! I went to a gas station and was asking for something behind the counter and the guy working (who I'm pretty sure was also Gen Z) said it was the last one, to which I replied "it's a red letter day!" and he had NO idea what I was talking about.😂
Hey, I just saw a Target ad for Piggy Paint for kid's nail polish. Can you try it for us to test quality?
Kelli I 100% still say this all the time I promise, but this story has made me feel old now too, LOL. I would be mortified if someone told me not to bring any bells -- I am still laughing btw -- though it does make them sound like a complete kill-joy ("Ma'am, please NO bells, your enthusiasm is unwarranted and we prefer our appointments to be devoid of any level of joy"). Also WHY do we say these things when we make appointments? I swear I totally do it too and I tell you what: I AM LYING Y'ALL! Since when am I thrilled to be seeing my doctor or gynae or dentist? Like, who am I trying to kid here? 😂
I'm an Elder Millennial (TM) and I've definitely used the phrase "I'll be there with bells on" before, but I'm also the kind of person who would deadpan "oh, you don't need to wear any bells" even though I knew perfectly well what you meant 😂
Hahaha I wish this girl was joking 🤣 she was seriously confused even after I explained hahaha
So funny that I got an add for the movie before the video started 😅
I guess For the Dreamer have the same problem as the Frosted Metals from Holo Taco, it looks awesome in person but really bad on pictures and video.
If I saw the purple and teal somewhere in Walmart or any store I will buy them but I won't really make a special purchase for those 😅
Looks very nice. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
I love Willy Wonka. Pure Imagination is my favorite. Wonka should have been named Golden Ticket. But i may pick up a couple of these. The cremes just didn't make me feel Wonka happy. The options for the names and colors were endless. I was hoping for an Oompa Loompa color. An Everlasting Gobstopper. They just seemed to drop the ball creatively on this one. But still pretty shimmers and glitters
These look fun! I definitely like pure imagination and Wonka the best.
Omg I say, “be there with bells on” too! 😂😅 I have no idea where it comes from. My best friend growing up said it all the time. Meow I feel old too 🤦🏻♀️
I also say oopsy daisy and geez Louise… there are actually so many old timey phrases I use. Okey dokey 😂❤️
Thanks for another great review!
Haha I hope those little phrases never become obsolete, I think they're so fun!
@@KelliMarissa I agree, they are so fun 😆
Oh no Kelli. That story was hilarious. When I tutor 5th grade, we teaching them expressions like that. Here is a story. One girl asked to change clothes for church so I took her to the assistant principal to ask of we could a few minutes before dismissal. She said yes, but don't be in there, "primping." The girl had no idea. The assistant principal was maybe 10 years older than me. Lol.
Can you do a comparison of this and the salon perfect Wonka collection?
I'll see if I can get my hands on those!
Pure Imagination and Noodle are my favorites. I don’t like their creams either Kelli. I have a beautiful pink from them and it’s the hardest application I have ever tried. This pink is probably the same formula. They are pretty though, I just wish they’d get it right or give up. Thanks dear. Appreciate you so much!
There was a trend called Morris Dancing that would have men wearing shoes and hats with bells as well as carrying sticks with bells! The Cambridge Dictionary has the origin down as "US informal"
My husband is 5 years younger than I am and he ROASTS me when I say ol timey sayings like “be there with bells on!” Now I just do it to see what his reaction is 😂
I still say I'll be there with bells on!
I'm glad I'm not the only one!!
I've heard that expression but I'm an "elder Millennial" 😂 Sometimes I think Gen Z is living such a highly curated life they are totally unexposed to anything that came before them. I've seen posts of them being baffled by CDs? Come on, your parents have those! I grew up knowing what an 8 track player was even though we never had one in the house. I watched & listened to media from outside my generation.
Looking for a Kirby pink, is totally taffy that kinda pink?
I'd say it's a bit lighter!!
@@KelliMarissa do you know of any Kirby pinks?
I say, "I'll be there with bells on" all the time 😂😂😂
I say with bells on frequently
Glad I'm not the only one hahah!!
I am so surprised to see China Glaze on your channel again…didn’t they get cranky with you for not loving two of their collections? Idk, I remember there being tea 😂 I love your reviews as always!!!! ❤❤❤
Haha I think they weren't pleased with me! Surprised to see they sent me this collection tbh 😅
Oh my goodness I say “with bells on” or “with knobs on” all the time! I didn’t realize that wasn’t said anymore 😂
Um, my “I feel old now” moment this week was when my vocal student wanted to learn Reflection and I asked if she wanted the original Mulan movie version or the Christina Aguilera version from the CD… and then she was like, “The CD?” And I was like, “Yes track 6 on the CD it was her debut album!”
I had to explain how CDs worked. How we had to actually go to the mall/Music Store to buy them and hope they hadn’t sold out. And if you didn’t get it you’d go home and call your friend on your LANDLINE PHONE (couldn’t call them from the mall because cell phones were a nope… maybe from the pay phone at the mall) and see if they got the CD. And if they did you’d go over to their house to listen and maybe burn a copy to cassette 😅😂 she was astounded. Agog. Truly beside herself.
I’ve never heard be there with bells on 😂 I would have just glossed over someone saying it though lol
I always appreciate the little phrases people say, especially when they aren't the current buzzwords. It shows who you are as an individual person. Repeating an older phrase does not make you look ancient or uncool. If you get perturbed by hearing something out the ordinary, you're the one who has a problem
As a word nerd I really appreciate your research into "with bells on" - now I'm curious to see what Merriam Webster says. I now call anyone in their 20s or 30s "dear", so, yeah, I'm old.
Oh Kelli i wanted to be able to say I understand but I'm 29 and have never heard that phrase 😅 maybe it's a regional thing??
LOL oh my gosh 🙈 maybe it's just a NJ thing hahah
Okay wait..had to come back after the bells story. I say that all the time (Gen X) but someone literally did show up at my office with BELLS ON. I’m a hearing specialist and this patient came in the other day and I was behind my desk so I didn’t see at first, but she had some hardcore jingle bells intertwined with her shoe laces. I said, “Your hearing aids aren’t working, are they?” and she said, “No! How did you know?!” I just laughed it off and said “Lucky guess.” There was no way she could hear well and still have those damn bells on. 😂😂
I was wondering how Pure Imagination would compare to Cirque’s Coronation
Ooh interesting, I'll have to do a comparison! At first glance, Cirque is more of a deep indigo base and it has a holo sparkle!
I’m wearing coronation right now and looking at the swatch vs my nails is a world of difference. They’re both gorgeous but nothing comparable.
The be there with bells on story made me laugh. I’m GenX and didn’t think it was a weird thing to say. The receptionist’s response made me feel old, but I kinda am.
Hahaha kids these days don't get the fun phrases anymore I guess 😂
That does actually look like melted chocolate 😋
It really does haha
I can't believe that the receptionist did not know that phrase. I thought that everyone knew that saying.
Haha not the young folk apparently!
I agree with you.
Lol, the first time I really heard the "with bells on" expression was when you told another fun fact story... I think it was about going to your eye doctor? 😂
Oh gosh did I tell it already?! LOL
@KelliMarissa hahaha.... I feel like this was at least a year ago? You mentioned finding out that the eye/vision problem was only because your contact was backwards
@@hjz_magenta8439 hmm I might have mentioned this story on my vlog channel but the eye issue you might be mixing me up with someone else haha 😅 I just went for a regular checkup and found out I had holes in my retinas!
@@hjz_magenta8439 but this story only happened a couple months ago 🤣❤️
Oh yikes! That's scary 😨
So I bought noodle & pure imagination and pure imagination was not what I was expecting I think I got a bad batch it doesn’t look like other swatches I’ve seen it was a very sheer purple that was hard to work with. It had shimmer but it was more silver than gold it seemed like more of a topper. They refunded me but it was sold out so I couldn’t try a different bottle 😢
Oh that's so odd! Did you buy it in stores or online?? I wonder if you can DM the brand on social media!
@@KelliMarissa I bought them online. I’ve never had that happen before it was strange. I could DM the brand I just don’t want to me that person lol
Do you read a lot of old books? I’ve not heard the “with bells on” phrase before 😂 but that’s hilarious.
Lol, I’m close to your age and haven’t heard it. But I’m sure you heard some stuff in GA that was new to you - everywhere has different sayings I suppose 😅
