🧠I think the nerodivergant question is super interesting. I am nerodivergant and both of my kids are as well. ADHD and Autism. I think a lot of people who are ND(nerodivergant) have collection type hobbies. But I don't necessarily think everyone who collects is ND and not every person who is ND collects. There does seem to be a lot of over lap. I do agree that there is a difference between collecting and hoarding. I know a few people who hoard and it's really difficult for them.
Nurses are heroes! I have 13 nurses in my extended family, on my mom's side, she is the only one out of her 4 siblings that was not a nurse. My mom's mother was a nurse. About half of my cousins on my mom's side are nurses. I respect and admire nurses so much! As an elementary school teacher, I totally understand the feeling of loving and hating your job because of how much it has changed and the seemingly insurmountable tasks always waiting for you. Budget cuts, more demands and less support and new and growing student needs are a big source of stress. I can not leave work at work, because there is way too much to accomplish both during school hours with students and without students, after hours (planning, prepping, meetings, grading, management, etc.).
I enjoyed this video and hearing a little about you and your profession. Nurses are some of the hardest workers that I know and I truly appreciate nurses for all they do. They are the ones that really take care of patients, even more so than doctors. Thank you, Jackie, for being a great nurse to your patients! Your mani is beautiful and I love the topper. TFS! ❤
I love that it was a conversation with your son that influenced you starting your brand! That is so lovely you have inherited diamonds in your special ring. I'm sure you're a really great nurse, Jackie. Nursing has changed here too - every single medical professional is under so much pressure here. Personally I think nurses are amazing - the backbone of the health service. You are one person, you can't be in multiple places at a time. You're amazing!
What a unique combination, I never would have thought of that! I have Sawyer, and mine is so much lighter than yours. Maybe it’s your lighting… Mine is a very, very soft, creamy, pale orange. In fact, I don’t like it on my skin, I only keep it because my son’s name is Sawyer, L O L.
Loved your comments. My daughter is an RN working in Orlando, also working PRN, and her experience is the same as yours,, lots of lack of techs, no time to finish the work ,lack of patient care. She also loves nail polish. Laura
Thank you for sharing so much about you personally. You are lovely and I enjoy all the videos you put out. I even have my 75 year old mom watching you on RUclips! As for #HeroNurse and #AngelsOnEarth, you clearly are both! My dad recently needed care and it was his nurses that made the difference in his last days. They were compassionate and honest as well as both human and professional, all things that my dad and family needed to get through his illness. Words can never convey the impact you surely have on those in your care. All the best to you and yours as we continue to navigate the difficulties and complexities life throws at us. ❤️
Ahhh thank you. How sweet that you and your mom both watch! I’m so glad you like my videos. I’m sorry about your dad but I’m so glad he was able to get good, quality care. I’ll be honest, it’s sad but sometimes nurses become desensitized to everything around us and they start to lose their compassion. It’s hard and I hope I never become like that! There’s a lot of politics involved in nursing now and it’s become more about the money and less about the people.
Thank you 😊 he was a huge supporter and inspiration! He helped me design and name many polishes. We even came up with an entire marvel collection once. Colors and names and everything. I never did make it though. Maybe someday
Thank you for sharing so much of your life beyond the polish!! I wish nursing was not going downhill like it has these past few years, with all the added tasks, as if you didn’t have more than enough giving your patients the care they so desperately need and deserve. Our country needs a huge overhaul in the health care field, but that’s another story!! I too got indie polish watching those same YTbers you mentioned, those were the days!!😄
I love doing a mani over 2 days, where I do a full mani on Sunday and if I end up with dents on some nails, or I didn’t get a perfect application, I take off those couple of nails and redo them on Monday. You could try that with stamping I reckon- do some stamping over an existing mani you’re wearing to make the process shorter!
Yes that’s actually what I have been doing! I wear my mani for a day or two and then practice on my nails before I take it off. That way if it’s terrible, it’s ok because I was gonna take it off soon anyways 😂
18:02 'with toppers the entire brush is not covered in glitter it's covered in base and then there's glitter throughout' 🤯🤯🤯 I'm a polish Dinosaur 🦖, so I don't know why this explanation just blew my mind 😂 I've been around long enough to figure this out myself (why toppers can leave gaps near the cuticle) but I never heard it phrased this way. There's something calming about understanding this fact & accepting that it's not user error 🤣🥰
Beautiful mani! Over the last year or so I have really got into the coral/orange hues. Thank you for all your honest answers. I feel the same about my job as well. I am a CT/X-ray tech in a hospital setting for almost 20 years and things have definitely changed.
It’s terrible how badly things are changing and the direction healthcare is going! I live a good orange! Especially a coral 😃 my mani from yesterday was coral
This was fun!!!! I enjoyed hearing all the questions from viewers They came up with some good ones ❤ And I'm a white gold girl too, yellow gold isn't my thing either... Thanks so much for sharing ❤
Oh gosh what a blast from the past - I watched all those channels (except one) when I first got into nail polish 😍 Have you read any of Richard Osmans Thursday Murder Club series?
Your openness and honesty is so lovely, and much appreciated ❤ I relate to you on many levels. I'm sorry your job is so difficult, and hoping you have some awesome news to share with us soon 🤞 The story of your son encouraging you to start your own brand was very heartwarming. I'm also a mum to two boys (now 21 and almost 19). Thank you for answering my "odd" question about waking your hubby when working nights 😅 Ps: Have you read Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough? I LOVED it!!
Oh thank you! My son has always been my cheerleader for my polish. He used to help me name them. A couple times he let me test the colors on his nails (like if I wanted to see it on a real nail and not nail wheel but I had fresh nail polish on) Very helpful. He’s less interested but still will respond if I ask him something. During one walk we came up with an entire marvel collection. All the colors and all the names. I never did make it though 😞 My kids are 20 and 15. Ryan turned 20 in December. Alexander will be 16 in August this year. I have not read that book but I am putting it on my list! Thank you
@@NurseJackie2582Maybe one day you will get to your Marvel collection. My oldest, Caleb, is also a December baby, and Ethan is April. Kill For Me, Kill For You by Steve Cavanaugh is another good thriller 📚
Excellent question regarding the makeup and nail polish community attracting neurodivergent people! I also don’t think it’s the case, but there’s certainly a level of obsession or attachment to things (makeup / polish) which gets exploited by brands who want to sell more. I say exploited because the industry has increased the release cycle and also leaned into limited editions, collaborations, etc. But it’s part of the larger consumer culture to own items for status rather than need. I don’t need 50 bottles of polish, but I feel part of the indie polish community by following and purchasing from indie brands.
I’m so tired of limited edition stuff!! I hate the FOMO. They do it intentionally. They make small, limited batches to drive up the desire. I swore when I started my own brand nothing would be limited edition.
I love all the discussion about longevity. Thankfully I only have one Native War Paints lol. OPI and Essie really are superb for lasting. I wonder if Orly do too (I haven't had Orly quite as long). I just want to highlight that neurodiversity does not equal mental illness and whilst they can co-exist, they are not the same thing. Also, autistic special interests are a whole different thing to a mere hobby, but that does not mean that it is necessarily hoarding. Hoarders can be anyone, neurotypical or not.
Yes exactly! They are not the same. That’s why I was careful to say hoarders fall in the mental illness category. I’ve never actually met a true hoarder though. It must be exhausting. As for neurodivergent, most people think of autism and the spectrum or adhd but there are others too. As for orly, mine all have beautiful formulas still. However, the neons all eventually fade.
Yea we're on the same page. I know we sometimes joke about being polish hoarders but it's not harmful in the slightest. I do feel for those with a real problem. Yes indeed neurodiversity is bigger than people think. As someone who's had PTSD in the past, I would've definitely put myself in that category at one time. I think that's inevitable with neons sadly. @@NurseJackie2582
Oh yes lol sometimes I feel like I’m hoarding my polishes 😂 but in all seriousness, it’s not the same thing as true mental illness or ND. I think a lot of people can be flippant about it. “Oh my ocd” when in fact you aren’t actually ocd. You just like to be organized. There’s a big difference. I’m so depressed! When you’re just sad etc. There’s a lot that people don’t understand about the brain, mental health and illness.
5:47 These are the people who were around in the beginning for me too. Thanks for swatching Sawyer. I put it on my wish list. I don't wear full skittles, but I often wear 2 or 3 polishes in most seasons. I do very little nail art, but I do do a simple thing on my ring finger with 2 colors and paint all but that finger and my pinkies the other color. I guess I'm a bit lazy. For me, combining 2 or 3 polishes takes about the same amount of times as one. I have the info on what goes with a polish on a list I made to divide my collection into seasons, which I love. Do you think Sawyer is a spring orange? Summer? Fall?
I think Sawyer is perfect for spring or summer! I doubt I would wear it in the fall or winter. It’s not that I’m lazy about nail art I just can’t find the time! I’d like to do skittles but I just don’t think I ever will
Oh how fun! I love color and playing with it too. I’m not an artist and have no drawing abilities but this is my form of art (lol that sounds silly). What did you do for a job?
@@NurseJackie2582 I did designs of fabrics and t-shirts and what was called color separating for the textile industry. The color separating was just a way to have all the colors of a design on it's on acetate for printing. I was doing this with my sister. We were free lance until the industry left the country and color separation was done on computers digitally.
I do wear nail polish! I keep my nails short and clean and since I work nights, management is not around to really say anything about the colors so I wear whatever I want. Technically I am not supposed to wear bright or loud colors but I do. My patients do occasionally compliment me on my polish 😃
I learned how to do a proper manicure (basecoat, polish, topcoat), how to apply polish neatly and cuticle cleanup (and many other tips) via RUclips. Before then, I cringe to think how my nails looked! Thank you for the link to Tips and Tricks. 👍🏼
lol same
Same I spent my whole jr high through college not using base or top coat and wondering why it didn't look good. 😂
I don’t think I ever used base coat until my 20s 😂

Thanks Barb 🥰
that is sooo sweet that never naked was inspired by long walks with your son and his encouragement

Thank you! I’m glad you like it and thanks for the questions. I hope I was helpful
I have a lot of nurse friends and they all say the same thing about how much it has changed in the last decade (but especially since the pandemic).
Yes it’s sad and frustrating! And scary. So scary for nurses. We are at risk of losing our license every day
❤ it's way too much for nurses. Completely unrealistic expectations. I have a friend who is a nursing assistant and they are always understaffed.
Always!! And waayyyy too many unsafe expectations on us!
Thank you for this video! Very informative and helpful. Appreciate your transparency. I relate to you on a lot of levels.
