That’s why I enjoy watching your videos you express your opinion no matter what and always in a respectful manner. I’m new to the Nail polish indie world and you are one of my favorite to watch.
I spent quite a while shying away from magnetics but I've fallen real hard for them and I definitely am seeking them out now. I love seeing the cat eye look 😍
I love how honest you are and I think it’s funny when you’re sassy! You’re so dang cute. I’ve always loved how real and honest you are in these reviews! 🥰
Lol, that last package gave you the dickens! 😂 Nice polishes! I love the magnetic. It’s unique. And that big brush was something but the polish is pretty so I’d def try to work with it. TFS!
🤣 that package was crazy!! 🤣 I've been getting quite a few comments about people loving that monarch brush, so I'm definitely withholding my judgment until I use it in a manicure 😊
I have Wicked Forest too!! I had to get it, HAD TOO. So pretty! GLL does take a long time but I love their shimmers... but I usually get them through PPU and HHC
What do you think about monarchs brushes? Using it on the swatch wheel, i wasn't happy about it but quite a few people in the comments were saying that they really like it. So maybe I have a different opinion when I paint my nails with it.
I actually love the monarch brushes! I also thought it was pretty fat but I love how round it is, it fits my cuticles perfectly. My nails are pretty wide though. Agree with you on the moonshine mani brush. I think my favorite brushes overall are painted polish, BKL, Cuticula, and orly
I do hold my official judgment until I paint my actual nails, but it sounds like we have very similar tastes in our favorite brushes so maybe I will like it after all. I don't have very many bkl polishes but I love their brushes. The last two releases from Orly have phenomenal brushes and of course cuticula brushes are great 😃
😆 well I don't know for sure until I paint my actual nails with it. Who knows. Maybe it'll make it even easier to not create bald spots next to my cuticle area which I'm very prone to doing. The brush is so soft. Maybe it'll make it easier for me to prevent that from happening
I just opened my PPU and got “Psycho” by Monarch. Oh that brush!!! I’m curious to see what painting with it is going to be like. A new collection from Great Lakes also drops today… but after hearing how long their shipping takes, I will keep my money. I much prefer Victorian Varnish for turnaround time. They ship next day and I will keep purchasing!
I adore my Germanicure cuticle pusher. I have Whooo....hooo and it went on much more red than I would have expected from the photos on the site. Congrats on 1k!
I don't care for the look of the velvet effect. I have been playing around with it could happen, I found a warm light grey cream to wear under it. I am very excited to wear it. I put them both on my fall rack. ☺️
Thanks for the tip. My nails are already stained yellow, so I'm not overly concerned about actual polish staining my nails. But it is annoying when a Polish stains my cuticle, you know when you kind of do a messy application and you can't get it all cleaned out of your cuticles, I am bothered by that. So I better be a little more cautious when using this. Thank you!
Oh keep that sass coming. It is refreshing and genuine. I own a bunch of Monarch Lacquer and spent the last 20 minutes inspecting the brushes and swatching different finishes because I remember my first ever Monarch, Emerald Alibi, I made the same exprience as if the bristles of the brush were too soft and flimsy for all the stuff swimming in the polish. For the cream and multichrome finish I cannot recall any brush events and the creams I actually use regularly. What I did realize though that they changed brushes. In my most recent Monarch purchases the brush was still paddle shaped but with shorter bristles. GLL: I have 4 of them, 2 with perfectly fine suspended shimmer, 2 with loopsided shimmer. Having to pay for shipment to Switzerland (only available throuh PPU or HHC for me), this ratio is not convincing. I wait for my Ethereal Lacquer is pending since 6 August and Kathleen & Co since 16 August. I admit my „order excitement“ has vaporized long since and I hope they won‘t end-up as polish orphans - late to the party, forgotten and untried 😒
I was definitely shocked by how long it Takes GLL to ship your order!! Minimum 2 months. I rather order from the maker thru PPU, then it won’t take as long! Monarch and beaux revés have the same type of brush. It was different and an adjustment using their paddle brushes.
Oh I haven't used beaux reves yet. I've been getting quite a few comments about people loving the monarch brush so maybe When I'm actually doing a manicure it'll be really nice. 🤔
I have to agree abt the MSM brush. I consider myself a brush snob, so I'm surprised I own 30+ MSM, hahaha. Although I do like their polishes, for me in part it's that Phoebe, the maker, was one of the 1st youtubers I followed when I 1st got into this hobby. So to an extent, in part I am buying her products to support someone I like.
I placed a GLL order a few months ago, because everyone hypes them up in PPU and HHC. And i have to say, it was a little anticlimactic for me... the polishes are pretty but notbing special imo.
Agree, I want to love the brand, but I love what PFD makes A LOT more for example. I do own one GLL and I love it, and since then I have wanted to own more, but nothing they make is one a kind for me. I like PFD, BKL (the more opaque ones though) and Lynbdesigns much better.
You’re so cute & fun when you’re sassy! It’s your video, you can be as sassy as you want to be. I’ve not purchased from Monarch but that brush looks very wide. I ordered from GLL a couple months ago. Two polishes arrived within 3 weeks but she had trouble with a pigment on one and it took almost two months. She did give the option to cancel the order for that shade and I wish I had. It looks nothing like the website photo. Yeah people are crazy about the brand and her polishes are okay but nothing to rave about imo. There’s my two cents!😂 Thanks for the great video. I enjoyed it so much! You should do a video painting your nails with that monster brush! That would be a fun video! Have a great day kiddo!❤ (Kiddo is a term of endearment, meaning I like you a lot). It’s what I call my oldest granddaughter who is 27.
I wonder if I'd be able to paint my nails and film a video. I've never tried to do that. That definitely sounds fun though. Trying out that giant brush on camera 😄 I definitely don't take offense to the term kiddo, however, I'm quite a bit older than 27 😄 I'm 41
@@JenniferDufoe I’m 65 so you’re still a kiddo to me. You sure don’t look anywhere close to 30 much less 41. I’m shocked! Yeah you could do a video. I have faith in you!
I love my monarch polishes 💯 also LOVE my glass cuticle pusher :) good finds! I can’t get into that super sheer magnetic from VV tho 🥴 I always appreciate your honest opinion 😉 I’ve had some issues ordering from Great Lakes lacquer, and I’d say they are not high on my list of brands I support. Just my own personal experience.
The Great Lakes collection all used the same base but different shimmer to show how shimmer can change a polish. She’s done a similar trend in other collections.
🤔 I don't follow the brand very closely. so I hadn't heard of that. as of now I'm not overly excited. But I will see how excited I feel when I wear them as a full manicure.
He has been MIA. He said he was going to release more polishes but the website is shut down. I love his multichromes & was looking forward to new releases. 😢
I just received my PPU order. One of the polishes is "Psycho" by Monarch. I absolutely hate that brush, it is hideous. I don't think I will order more polishes from Monarch. I have many GLL polishes. In my opinion, they are worse waiting. A little update: I tried using Psycho by Monarch. The brush was comfortable to use, somehow it applied like a butter. The polish is fabulous.
I just read multiple comments of people saying how much they love that brush. so I'm thinking I might like it when I actually use it on my nails. I was actually wondering because it's so soft if it'll help me prevent bald spots next to my cuticle. I do that quite often with certain formulas
Random question if you don't mind, I just got a Helmer for my polish and the drawers don't come all the way out when they open, it is like the back 1/3 of the drawers is unusable because I can't see or reach back there, have I done something wrong building it? Thank you if you are able to help or even just show how yours open in a future video?
I think in the instructions one of the last steps was to fold some tabs that prevent the drawers from coming out all the way. This makes sense if you're storing papers but not so much for nail polish. You may have to carefully unfold the tabs to get it out although I don't remember if that's possible once assembled :/
So there is a tab on each drawer that the instructions tells you to bend down so the drawer will lock in place. I skipped that step. you can pull the drawer out as far as you can and get a tool and try to bend the tabs back up
I am new to the indie polish world. So i am not overly fond of any type of brush in particular. I love Monarch, i have about 30 polishes from them. I wish Beaux Reves would have more kaunches, becauae i truly love that brand esthetic
I think I only own one beanx reves polish. I can't even think of any releases from them. I just noticed they're polish in pre-order sites like polish pickup
That’s why I enjoy watching your videos you express your opinion no matter what and always in a respectful manner. I’m new to the Nail polish indie world and you are one of my favorite to watch.
Oh thank you so much! I love nail polish so much. I have a lot of opinions 😆
I love the VV. It’s beautiful with the cat eye dispersed. Whhhhoooooweee!
I spent quite a while shying away from magnetics but I've fallen real hard for them and I definitely am seeking them out now. I love seeing the cat eye look 😍

I bought the same Victorian Varnish, and love it! In fact, I’m wearing it now - 3 coats, and not magnetized. I hope you like it too.
I put it straight into my fall rack. I'm looking forward to wearing it 😀
i only own one monarch polish (culprits charm) but i looooove that brush hahaha. different strokes (literally!)

I loooove Monarch and their brushes are my favourite haha. Wicked Forest is gorgeous, I bought it too!
Maybe I'll like the brush more on my natural nails 🙂

Glisten and glow is another company that ships lightning fast ⚡

Thank you! After I put three coats I was happy with the look but it didn't look as brown as I thought it was going to
I love magnetics! The It Could Happen would actually be opaque in 2 coats in velvet effect. 🎉🎉
I love this polish.
I don't care for the look of the velvet effect. I have been playing around with it could happen, I found a warm light grey cream to wear under it. I am very excited to wear it. I put them both on my fall rack. ☺️
I love Hoooo Who? !!! BUT, wear a good base coat like Starrily’s Guardian! It is a stainer. Such a pretty Fall polish!

Stopping to say I love that VV color. I think it is super cool. Guessing I can't purchase it now though?
It was through LBH Re-Animation series BUT keep an eye out for October 1st launch! We have a similar one releasing! ❤❤❤
@@VictorianVarnish Wow! I really love it
@@neyisek6928 it’s a great color, and one on their site looks just like it!
Im so excited that HHC included a free cuticle oil this month instead of a top or base coat like normal.
Are you speaking of a free gift? I've heard they give one if you spend over $100?
Sassy Jennifer! 😂
😄
