Marla!!! These nails are SO CUTE!! Thank you for sharing storytime with us and letting us know how much we mean to you. You and the Mani Fam have meant so much to me, too. My dad passed suddenly and unexpectedly in June 2023 after a battle with dementia/Alzheimers, and I commented on one of your videos that summer that I was in a grief nail funk but you were inspiring me to try something again. You JUMPED at the chance to reach out and made me feel so loved! Thank you for being you. We love you! ❤
Love the nails, Loved the share even more. I have quote from Louise Hay taped to my lap top. "All is well. Everything is working out for my highest good. Out of this situation only good will come. I am safe " I read it every day
You definitely didn't fail. Your husband failed you! Good for you for choosing you. And you kept going through those hard times! I suffer from anxiety too and Lexapro has made a big difference. I'm glad you found your way to RUclips because it's like I have a long distance friend. I LOVE this design. So cute! I think I found what I will do for my Valentine's nails now! 😊
Marla thank you for sharing with us, I know as moms, as women we keep things tightly wrapped inside. I also suffer with being afraid that I can disappoint my family and friends, and I am thankful that we have this space with you. It’s our little group therapy so thank you! Can’t wait to hear your progress I was on Lexapro and I really want hear your story.
First off, I admire your openness with us, your friends, It helps, trust me, I know... I was married for 18 years, three beautiful boys, brand new two story house and my husband told me on Christmas day that he was in love with another woman, long story short, that ended in divorce. Eventually I remarried and three years later he died of a massive heart attack on our patio here at my house. If I didn't have my friends I don't know how I would have survived. I am on Lexapro since he passed but boy I could sure use some help. The lexapro is helping but I could sure use that boost. I've learned since then, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. One day at a time, One step at a time. ❤
Omgosh. Thank you for sharing that with me. I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this. I’m no medical professional, but I started doing a gluten free lifestyle after a mountain of research and it’s made a world of difference almost instantly for my anxiety, energy level and physical health. Thats the “something” I was talking about. Maybe that’s the little boost you need? Couldn’t hurt, right?
@MarlaKris Thanks so much! And the research begins!! You just don't realize how much you help just me in my moments of sadness and I'm sure that goes for ALOT more souls! Please keep sharing your talents.
I remember all this from the beginning of your journey. Love you Marla. It’s been a long time. Thanks for all the vids. Even though I’m not dipping anymore I still love watching you!💕💕😘
Marla I feel like you are an inspiration, I was immediately drawn to your videos when I first got into dip powder and found myself constantly going back just for the stories. I appreciate you and I know there are many more that do as well!
You are a wonderful person! You give your time and knowledge to help all of us be better. Love your chats. Wish you nothing but success and happiness in your future. ❤
Marla!!! Loved every single thing about this video. I so appreciate your raw honesty about your backstory. It actually brought tears to my eyes. I want you to know you were one of my first RUclipsrs that I started watching on RUclips almost 2 years ago and you encouraged me that I could do this thing called dip powder. I have been doing it every week ever since. You give me so much inspiration and opened my eyes to all of the cool things about dipping and beyond, Lol. I sincerely want you to know how proud I am of you, even though I do not know you, about choosing yourself and children over a toxic relationship. I am much older than you, have been married technically 39 years, and am in the middle of a three-year divorce. My husband cheated on me twice and I have a very long story as to why I stayed etc. Sometimes as moms we put our happiness aside for our children. At any rate, I chose me in the end. And have never been happier. I have anxiety and Panic attacks as well. I was diagnosed with those many years ago and I can’t say it was because of him it was probably all embedded in me, however, being in a mentally abusive type relationship, he’s a narcissist, manipulator, etc., just didn’t help. I can’t wait to hear the new things you have in store that you touched on and will always continue to watch. Stay strong my friend.
It is so hard to do what is best for yourself sometimes. But I'm so happy you've found the path that works for you. I'm a new viewer and new FB group member and am so glad for my friend that made me aware of you. Not just for the nail content. 💚
Marla this is too cute. I love your videos. I also suffer from anxiety and depression. I’m on latuda for it now. Hope it helps. I’m a single grandmother raising two of my grandkids. It’s hard.
Thanks for sharing your story with us! I also don't use my degree, but I am happier and healthier and less stressed than if I did, so I guess worth it for me. Do what you love!
Marla, thank you for sharing your story. I have been watching you for a few years and absolutely adore you. I no longer do my nails due to damage by gel products and have been trying the press on's. Just have to figure out how to keep them on longer, lol. Keep on blessing us by adding content. Your the best lady.....💕
Thank you for sharing your personal experience. It isn't easy, but I'm glad to hear that you were able to overcome it. You are strong, and i really enjoy your chatty videos. This was a fun mani as well, 😊.
Love it. I just added the chrome powders to my cart and will have to try this. I also like your story on how you got started with nails. I went back to college like you did but I was in my very late forties. Glad I did . It’s never too late to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life and make a change 💕
Wow! I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that. It’s hard when someone you trust cheats on you. My 1st husband did that to me. But you know what. Know I’m like thank god he did. Because I would have not meet my husband of 26 years. ❤ love the mani .
• Thank you for sharing that, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I wish i had been there to support you but I hadn't found you yet. 🫂🫂🫂🫂 I'm so glad you're where you are. ❤️ • Did you say your cat's name was Kira? We have a Kira. Her grooming isn't very loud, but her sister Fizzy? She's a slurper. It's almost obscene. 😅 • That color is amazing! And the mani is adorable. • Love you, Marla. Thank you, for all you do.
You really have patience; I don’t think I could do that. People are bothering me all day long. 😂It was was interesting listening to your story. You have long nail beds and I have very short mail beds. I don’t think I could place as many hearts as you did. 😂😂😂😂 Your nails look very pretty. But I did learn something about nail art; I usually just avoid it. 😂😂❤
So so cute! I'm late to this game, lol, would love to know how to do the chrome with gel. And what was the base of the hearts? And I love getting to know you better, so keep talking ❤.
Bless ❤ you for choosing YOU! I did not when I definitely should of. Should of chose my son and MYSELF. Six and a half years with an alcoholic that was my life. All those nights we waited for him to come home, just to have him come one night and tell me he didn't love and want to be with me any more. I definitely have anxiety and panic attacks because of this although never been diagnosed 😢 Fast forward twenty some years.... I have meet the love of my life ❤️ and have three boys 💙💚💛 who are my whole entire world 🌎 The Universe always has a way of making things work out in the end ✨ Cute mani 💅🥰
Chrome will stick to a glossy top coat, so if you only want to chrome the hearts, or a specific area, you’ll need a matte surface for the rest of the nail
I think everyone should take a gap year or two to find what they really want to do by experiencing 'the real world'. I went into medical assisting when I was 18 because I couldn't find a job and was being pressured by my dad to do it so I could eventually be a hospice nurse so I could help him pay the bills. Watching people degrade and die.... Wasn't for me. It takes a very special person to do that. I still don't know what I want, hopefully I'll get my life together one day. 😂

Watching you chrome all the hearts was oddly satisfying… 😂
LOVE YOUR WHOLE ENTIRE FACE!!! 💜💜💜💜
So stinking cute! Great job. Thanks for sharing. I thought we could only chrome over top coat. Always learning from you and the tribe. Yay! ❤❤❤❤❤

Question on azure liquids, does anyone else use them, and do they not get solid!? I have had such a struggle with these liquids curing the dips I use.
Which brand/link to that precision tool?
Bless ❤ you for choosing YOU! I did not when I definitely should of. Should of chose my son and MYSELF. Six and a half years with an alcoholic that was my life. All those nights we waited for him to come home, just to have him come one night and tell me he didn't love and want to be with me any more. I definitely have anxiety and panic attacks because of this although never been diagnosed 😢 Fast forward twenty some years.... I have meet the love of my life ❤️ and have three boys 💙💚💛 who are my whole entire world 🌎 The Universe always has a way of making things work out in the end ✨
Cute mani 💅🥰
First . Hi Marla. Now I can watch the video ♥️
Hey gorgeous!! 🩷
Do I have to use matte top coat or can I use my shiny one? Just curious as to the why.
Chrome will stick to a glossy top coat, so if you only want to chrome the hearts, or a specific area, you’ll need a matte surface for the rest of the nail
4th. Now I can watch the video also ❤
Morning sunshine!!! ♥️
