for everyone who can't quit peeling or picking their nail polish due to stress or anxiety, just use a peel-off basecoat! they're made to be easily peeled off without damaging your nails at all. only downside, your mani won't last as long as with a different basecoat but that's obvious
Great but I don't have any and glue take forever to dry💢(not very patient when with glue) especially when I have an hour to do them Edit: and my mani don't last long because one I don't even bother to put a top coat half the time and two I peel of my nail polish so I'm occupied with something whenever I want to hit someone at school but can't because my reputation is basically 'I'm nice,calm,quiet and don't break rules. I can get along with anybody and don't say no to anybody. I am also smart so I can help you when you need it and I am also an overachiever when I want to' this is what people literally think of me at school but the people that actually know me know that I do break rules but is too sneaky to get caught and I'm also lazy and don't like to overachieve and I like saying no. Some take advantage of the fact that most of my answers on a test or worksheet are correct and start to cheat off of me. That is my reputation but on the inside I'm a ticking time bomb. If you annoy me on the outside I will be calm but in the inside I am wishing that the person would some die or shut up. If you do something to make angry on the outside I would be calm and probably have a tick mark and on the inside I would be thinking 'ignore and don't hit him or her there will be consequences' so peeling off nail polish helps and with a peel off base coat it would come off easier but that would also increase the chance of me hitting someone. I'm actually very patient but when it comes to the popular/loud/annoying/rude kids I'm a ticking time bomb After thought of typing this: why is my wording so horrible? Why did I ramble in this? And why and I going to post this? P.S. I was not boasting that I'm smart it is just what people at school actually think about me(I have asked many people about what type of person vibe I give off at school). And people looking at my worksheets and test papers actually happened. . . . . . . Why do I keep using the same words over and over again?
You're awesome and totally adequate Kelli! Love your channel! I'm a handicapped woman in my 50s and you've inspired me to start taking care of and painting my nails again. Thank you for being you! 💝
I know this is an old video, but I almost cried at the end. You have touched/will touch more people than you will EVER know. I share what I learned from you with everyone who admires my nails. Of course I refer them to your videos, but older people (like my Mom and her friends...the 75+ club)are sometimes technologically challenged. You're reaching them through their daughters. I can't wait to teach MY granddaughters how to do their nails. You are influencing GENERATIONS of women! Inadequate? Nothing is farther from the truth. Always...ALWAYS hold your head high, Queen. We love you.❤
Oh Roxanne, thank you so much for the vote of confidence and encouragement. You're gonna make ME cry! Its such a thrill that I even get to make these videos and that people even watch them. I'm so honored I get to share my knowledge and tips with you guys!
+Becky Schmidt lol! Honestly the most frustrating thing! In my first version of this video I went on a little rant about it but I realized that was probably unprofessional LOL
Kelli Marissa Lol! I probably would have giggled. But, sometimes saying less is more. Maybe? OMG! You should do a video on it! I can see it now. Facts, big, fancy pics involving nail matrix, plate, all the keratin being shoved around. Please wear nerdy glasses and have a laser pointer for it!
You've totally inspired me to take care of my nails! I have really tiny nails, they break easily, and I have a nail biting habit. I just watch your videos while I paint my videos and it feels like I'm hanging with a friend c:
Congrats on your award!!! I'll have to try Rejuvicote. I've tried most nail strengtheners but not this one. I wish I could keep my nail polish on but the top layer is so crumbly sometimes it just breaks off talking the polish with it. It helps to keep them polished so I do them a lot and touch up in between. Thanks for the ideas!! :)
You bring so much to the table❗❗I can't imagine you would, for a moment, doubt that. Thanks for all you've taught me. I am very thankful for you in my life!!!
I used to bite my nails (still sometimes do) and am working on not biting them and making sure I take care of them. I just found this channel. I'm glad that you have the nail polish 101 and share you nail knowledge with us.
Aww Kelli congrats on the award, you DO deserve it. I watch your videos because while you are beautiful, well spoken, warm and likeable, the focus is really on nails (and make up) and learning. My nails are so much better since watching you. I trust your opinion and your videos are such high quality. Keep doing what you're doing!!
Glad that I found this video, I've been taking care of my nails since I find that they break a lot more in the winter time but I haven't broken one in almost 3 months.
Congratulations, Girlie! 🎊🎉 I’m super happy for you!!!🤗❤️❤️❤️ You’re so genuine, kind, loving, and can truly relate with each and everyone of us! So, THANK YOU for taking your own time making these tutorial video’s for us! They’re so fun, and super helpful! You’re awesome, sweetie! Congrats, again! We love you!👏👏😘👍💞
Congratulations, you are amazing I have learned so much from you. I have the bad habit of peeling my nailpolish when my nails chip. I knew it damaged my nails. Thanks to you my nail polish does not chip the next day like it used to . I promise you I will not peel my nailpolish anymore as a mater of fact ever since I have been following your advice I have not done it because my nailpolish lasts longer with no chips. Yay! Keep up the excellent work.
+Diana Pulido thank you so much Diana! I am so happy that my videos are helpful for you! And yessss please stop peeling your nail polish haha! I'm sure we are all guilty of doing it at one point but you'll find a huge difference in the strength of your nails if you stop! :)
Congratulations on earning that play button! We wouldn't be here if you weren't good at what you do, so thank you for making great content. I love the 101 series and hope you do many more. Unfortunately, I'm not able to wear polish in my work, but I appreciate the skill and the love you have for the art of nail polish.
+Jessica Smith thank you so much Jessica :) yeah, unfortunately a lot of careers don't allow you to wear polish on the job :( I'm sorry to hear that yours is one of them!
congratulations on the award! you are truly a huge help to me. I've mentioned in another comment that your tips are so helpful to me and my 5 year old daughter who loves all things girly. it has created another layer of bonding for us because I'm learning to relate to something she enjoys and hopefully it'll make life easier when we hit the teen years! ;) so it may sound corny but I appreciate your videos beyond knowing how to do whatever nail art you're teaching.
That honestly makes me so happy to hear. Stories like yours about bonding with your daughter are what makes me feel so incredibly special to be able to create these videos :')
I try so hard not to peel my nail polish off, But I suffer from three anxiety disorders and always end up picking at my polish when highly anxious. I have infused a bottle of base coat with garlic. I use coconut or jojoba oils on my nails 2-3 times a day and just doing that makes a huge improvement. I always have my nails painted. They're actually currently stained from all the red polish I wore around Christmas. Also, I went gluten free back in April (gettng close to a year now wow) and noticed a HUGE change in my nails and hair. Both are growing faster. Nails are growing stronger. Hair is growing thicker (Not that I needed thicker hair)
+CrownedLily thank you for sharing your tips with us! I'm sorry to hear about your anxiety :( you might want to look into a peel off base coat or peel off nail polish - you'll be able to peel it without ruining your natural nail, plus more opportunities to paint your nails as a stress relieving activity :) I haven't heard that about gluten, but it's super interesting - will definitely do some research (although I definitely don't need thicker hair either LOL)
Congrats on the award, you deserve it! I love your content and your happy energy, and your nail art is so doable and real. We appreciate your hard work!
I actually appreciate so much that your thumbnail is realistic, if you know what I mean, like, there's people who put like a really short nail in the before side an then really really long nails and the title of the video is "grow your nails in a week", and you're like are you kidding me? So I appreciate that Kelli, great video, I will try them for sure
+Luisa Carrera haha I'm so glad you feel that way! I definitely don't think it's necessary to mislead people with clickbait. Honestly my nail growth in a week isn't INSANE but it's enough that I know my methods work :P thank you so much!
Thanks Kelli-- I will try this-- my nails are all crazy different shapes- u are the best & because of u I own more nail colors than I will ever use in a lifetime,,, lol!! I am totally addicted....
Just wanted to thank you for your advice. My nails have always been quick to tear and my cuticles have been terrible. I took your advice and started using cuticle oil and moisturiser every night and switched to a glass nail file and my nails are so healthy looking now . Wish I had taken a phot before so I could do a before and after photo. My nail polish also stays on much longer because of this (although I really like my healthy nail look so rarely wear it now lol). Thanks! :-)
congratulations hun!! you never should feel inadequate at all!! I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and I like a lot of people bought your BM plate, which is amazing by the way!!! You are a lovely young lady, keep your head up, keep doing your videos and keep smiling!! You have over 100,000 subbies you have nothing to feel inadequate about!!! Well done and I look forward to your next video!! tfs hun xxx
Yes! It totally was! I can't wait to start using some of your tips and finally have beautiful nails! Also congrats on the awesome milestone, you deserve it 100% ❤❤
Hi Kelli! Thanks for your great videos! I’m trying desperately to get my nails to grow and have been loving all the tips and tricks I’ve learned from you! Keep up the good work!! 😊
Congratulations on the milestone and the U-Tube Award Kelli! I am definitely learning from you. With this one alone, I learned to stop picking my nail polish off and file my nails vs clip them with a clipper. Hmm more 101, I like the ridges idea... And maybe ridges with splits on tips. maybe I just have 2 really funky nails
+Carol Klans-Cerda thank you so much Carol :) I'm so glad you are finding my content helpful!! And who knows, maybe those nails can soon grow normally :)
congratulations on your award.. 💞 thank you for this very helpful video.. how often do you use your nail strengthener? some people have said if you use it continously then your nails will get too Brittle... has this happened to you?
+Russia Oberholzer thank you so much :) in the winter, I use it once a week, and it has not caused my nails to get brittle. Once my nails are very strong, I do switch to a regular base coat though :)
You are great. I love the way you talk about nail polishes. I love watching you. I have a question, I am a type 2 diabetic on insulin. My nails are about the length of yours. The question is why do they peel in layers? I am very careful and moisturize several times a day. I wear gloves anytime I do dishes or clean. I take care of them. They grow but they peel which makes them weak. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for your help. I have learned a lot from you.about nail care and polishes. Keep up the great job. God bless you. Thank you.
Hey Vicki, it sounds like your nail issues might stem from your health issues (or genetics!) These are the best tips I can offer but it might be worth it to ask your doctor if he has any recommendations as well.
@@KelliMarissa Thank you for replying so quickly. I will ask my doctor about this. You are a great lady, I love watching your videos. I look forward to all of your videos. God bless you.
How do you feel about using a nail cleanser before your base coat? I had a small size Formula X for Sephora Nail Cleanser and I found it made the polish last longer so I use that under my base coat. I use Ridge Filling from Essie. Would Rejuvacote negate the Cleanser?
+Laura Signor I have a feeling a nail cleanser is similar to nail dehydrator (basically just removing the oils and balancing the pH of your nail) so I don't think Rejuvacote should affect it at all :)
Congrats on the award! You earned it and deserve it! I love your videos and tutorials! Thank you for sharing, and I am SO looking forward to the fast drying tips video
+Alissa Gibbs thanks so so much Alissa! This is actually basically the same makeup as I wore in the tutorial video I just posted this week, but instead of brown at the outer corners I added black :)
As someone who is completely crap at painting my nails, I absolutely adore this series. Literally the only time my nails seem to come out halfway decent is when I get them professionally done.
Congratulations! I found your account about 8 months ago and let me tell you. I love it! I found your instagram before and when I finally started watching your UA-cam videos I couldn't stop. I've seen ever video you posted for the last 8 months and lived all of them!
I recently bought Revlon Diamond Texture nail polish. I only put on two coats and my whole nail is covered. I was wondering if you had tried it before because it seems so perfect and was wondering if it really is as good as I think it is. Also I love all of your videos!
congrats on the silver play button lady!!! you totally deserve it! you are so humble. you seemed so nervous when you were talking about doing makeup tutorials, DON'T BE!! Your makeup always looks uhhhmazing! 😊
+Beth Caldwell oh Beth thank you so much, that means a lot to me ❤❤❤ I know I'm not a pro or like the makeup artists on UA-cam haha but I figure it might be nice to have a "regular" person doing videos hahaha!
Kelli Marissa may I ask how often do you cut your fingernails when they grow out? I grow out my nails on a monthly basis before cutting them. Do you ever cut your nails while they have nail polish in them?
Congrats on your You Tube award!!!! So Glad you finally did this video. I ordered the crystal file you mentioned in one of your other 101 video's. I had ordered a different one from somewhere online before & I hated it. Well it must have not been a good file, because when I got the file you mentioned & started to use it....OH BOY!!! What a difference. I LOVE IT! Thanks. May even order a few more! Question? If you use the Duri Rejuvacote as a base coat, does it help from any nail polishes staining as well. Also, How many coats do you use? Thanks for the Video!
+Melissa Moretti- Stoops right?! I'm obsessed with that file! I've been using the same one since last January and honestly it still works fine, it's crazy. And thank you so much :) I use Rejuvacote as a base coat in the winter and I haven't had staining (and I loooove dark vampy colors in the winter) so I think you'd be good with just one coat, that's how many I use!
Congratulations on 100k+!!! I am so so so happy for you, you're such a cool person. Can't wait for your video on drying nail polish faster, is a pain in the butt when you are doing nail art
awww I think you're awesome! how long did it take for your nails to get really strong? my biggest problem is that my nail peels and obviously not strong so they peel or rip.
+VKS Dub oh thank you so much! Well I have to be honest, when my nails get week, it does take a few weeks at least to get them back to strength. I went home for the holidays for two weeks and didn't use any of my usual treatments and my nails got pretty dry and brittle. It took almost a month to get them back to normal using my strengthener, and filing and moisturizing regularly!
Congratulations on your You Tube award! Thanks for the tips! I use Bliss Kiss Simply Sealed Lotion stick and keep it in my purse so I can moisturizer my cuticles during cold Canadian winters.
Kelli Marissa I've already tried alot of strengtheners, but they don't seem to work. Sometimes I almost feel it gets worse when I use them. I work alot with my hands in water, my guess is that's the problem. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about that. Thanks for your answer anyway!
Honestly I still use all of the above! But another one I've been using religiously for strong nails is the Sally Hansen Vitamin E cuticle oil, it's always what I recommend when friends/family are dealing with weakened nails!
Great tips! and btw I want to let you know you totally deserve that award, and I love your channel and how you always respond to comments, it feels good knowing that THE Kelli Marissa is reading them and taking the time to respond, it means a lot to us subscribers as well :) keep it up!!
+Jocelyn Hernandez Jocelyn, you are so so sweet! Thank you so much :) I know I would be nowhere without you guys and your comments literally mean the world to me, honestly I am so happy reading them!
All excellent tips! Keep mini lotions in different places - you’ll be surprised how quickly you get in the habit of keeping your hands nice and moisturized! 😃
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on hitting 100k subscribers. What an amazing accomplishment! Secondly, thanks for the nail tips. I tend to have very brittle nails, so I will follow many of your tips (especially the garlic!). Looking forward to your other videos!
wow...no wonder you have so many subscribers. Your content is soooooooo USEFUL... and delivered in a happy, humble way :) By the way, I am 56 and previously to today, utterly useless at doing my own nails. I honestly thought I had some kind of impairment...lol. You're awesome!! xo
Oh you are so sweet, thank you so much! I'm so happy you found this one helpful :) And don't get down on yourself - nail care is tough, and people don't talk about the basic steps often enough!! But once you get the hang of it, it's such a great self care time and the bonus is you get pretty nails haha!
I tried to read through some comments to see if anyone else asked but didn’t see it so hopefully I’m not asking something you’re asked all the time... but when you use a strengthener do you substitute that for the base coat? Or do you also apply base coat after you apply the strengthener? PS I LOVE your videos!! So informative and helpful!
+Kari-Lynne Luginbuhl hey Kari-Lynne! I actually use strengthener in place of base coat, but if you want you can definitely use both :) if you choose to do both, Id suggest strengthener, then base coat. I’m so glad you enjoy my content :)
thank you so much for this - so many useful tips! i have the same problem...weak nails that are prone to breaking & peeling. i use Revlon's Treat & Boost; seriously, that stuff has saved my nails!! i'm loving the Nail 101 series :)
Have you tried using garlic oil on your nails? I wonder if that would help strengthen them since you said garlic is so good? Thanks for the tips. Great as always!
Kelly ! Congrats !! Finally the silver play button is yours ! keep up the flame of your creativity..Anyway,i would love to see your nail art for chinese new year because it's getting closer and i don't have much idea for simple but unique CNY nail art..😊😊😄😄
+Seruni Alam Maya thank you so so much Seruni ❤❤❤ I don't have any Chinese New Year nail art planned but you know what would be GORGEOUS, you should do a red mani with gold French tips!!!
Kelli Marissa yay ! i know you're very happy..😄😄 enjoy the moment dear..ok, that's a good idea haha but maybe we'll also try to draw chinese girl and boy character to combine with your tips ( copying from Pucca hahaha )..anyway i have to tell you that eventho iam subscribing your channel, the one who does my nail art is my husband haha,,he's even better than me, do you believe that ? 😂😂 encourage your BF to do more for you !! haha..💅💅
Haha I think that sounds great, and actually a few peope have told me their husband does their nails! My sister actually has her BF do her nails too LOL! I'm going to make my BF do them again :D :D
Then maybe you can make a collab with your sister or even make double date to do nail art challenge hahaha..it will be sooo much funnnn !! Can't hardly wait !!! 😍😍
Congratulations on the silver play button , so deserved . I have been doing a lot of your tips for years and as you say they work . I have always had strong nails that grow quickly but I still look after them and they have vanish on them 90% of the time . My nails are the envy of my friends lol 😂
I'm gonna have to check out that video suggested about dry skin because even though it's summer, I STILL have a dry skin problem on my right thumb, and index finger, and my left baby finger. So weird!!
I just bought all the nail stuff you suggested, so can we put the nail strengthener on first and then continue on with our base coat nail polish and topcoat? @kellimarissa
I had another question, I don't know if it's possible.. my pointer finger grows crooked, like the nail grows to the left. Is there anyway to fix it or stop it from doing that? Do you think if it grows out enough I can file it square ? @kellimarissa
I would like info on how to prevent polish getting under your nails and if it does how to remove it. I used a medium teal and it went under the nail and stained underneath. Tnx so much. Katy
+Nicole Ferguson hey Nicole, welcome to my channel! Actually I've heard that people who use formula 1 frequently can experience their nails "adapting" to it and not working anymore, and formula 2 works for them instead! But I've never used the first one haha I figured the second would be better.
Kelli Marissa that's exactly what happens to me, it works for a bit then I feel like it isn't working anymore so I will get Formula 2 and see how it works for me. Thank you so much
Congratulations Kelli you definitely deserve it I love your videos I watch you all the time and I have started building my nail polish collection I have about 150 nail polish is now which is probably nothing compared to you but it’s a lot to me I’ve had to figure out where to put everything all the nail art supplies and everything but anyway I really appreciate your videos and you keep doing what you do girl and about you saying you don’t feel adequate you definitely should be really proud of yourself I’m pretty sure you’re younger than me but I kind a look up to you because you seem very mature and well put together and you still manage to have time to color your hair all the time and change your nails and your make up and organize all your million nail polishes I mean gosh I don’t know where you find the time to do all these things LOL anyway you go girl!!!!
+2tzus I do use Rejuvacote 2 actually, I've never used the first formula but from what I heard, they are extremely similar. I believe the only difference is that formula 1 dries quicker.
+2tzus yes, you're right - formula 2 is formaldehyde free as well! I think that's why it dries slower. I used to buy formula 2 at a nail polish supply store but now I order it from Amazon when it's available!
Great tips! 👍 Congratulations on your UA-cam award!! You work hard on your channel and you deserve it!! Any tips on how to grow your channel? I'd appreciate any input you have to share! Congratulations again!!! 💜💅💜
+Sharon Hoelzle thank you so much Sharon :) my best tip is just to keep going and don't let the numbers define your success.. I've been at it for a while and it definitely didn't happen overnight haha! As long as you love what you do, you'll find success :)
Love the garlic tip and I love garlic but have never seen elephant garlic before...I must find it!!! Thanks for making this. I am a new subscriber but enjoying getting caught up on your vids :)
+Haten Google haha omg it's my favorite thing in the world. I recently bought regular garlic and I had no idea what to do with it, it was so tiny compared to what I'm used to now! And anyway, welcome to my channel :) :) I'm so happy you like it so far!!
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 100,000!!! YOU SO DESERVE IT GIRL! So happy for you. Hope your bf took you out to celebrate. 🎉🎉 I just got home from the ballet, 2nd row, center, amazing! Awesome video as always!!! Does the Rejuvacote dry fast? I look so forward to your videos. You crack me up Kelli!! Love you. Peace out brussel sprout 💅💅❤❤
+RonneeSue Scott haha thank you so so much! Omg that sounds like an amazing experience! 💃🏻 Yes, Rejuvacote does dry super quickly, I usually just paint all 10 nails with it and by the time I'm done, the first nail is pretty much dry :) love you too!!! Hahahaha
Lots of great tips Kelli, and YAY!!! For the silver button, and I want you to know how much I look forward to getting my lil notification saying Kelli has a new video 😀😊 and BTW quick question, I have tried lots of tips and tricks for nail growth, but for some reason, my pointer and middle finger nails just won't grow, any advice?
+Gina Rose oh Gina, that means so much to me :) thank you so much for your support!! Hmm, have you injured those two fingers? Sometimes you can damage the nail (like where your knuckle is, before it's visible on your finger) and it can stunt the growth.
Kelli Marissa Not that I can recall, but the weird thing is it's the same on both hands, those two fingers just are so brittle, and they never seem to grow,especially the pointers. I am tempted to get acrylics but I know how they damage your natural nails. If you find a y .ore tips PLZ let me know, big hugs and thanks 💚💛💜
+Gina Rose oh man that does sound really annoying! Maybe you can try to do some treatments on just those two nails and see if it makes a difference?? You can try rubbing garlic on them haha 😅
Kelli Marissa Oh yeah 😀I had forgotten that you said garlic really helps your nails. Should I just rub raw garlic on them, or is their like a garlic oil lol
I recently stopped biting my nails after 20 years and I’m surprised to know that my nails grow super fast and they’re pretty strong. They’re not bendy lol. I don’t even have the urge to bite them anymore. It’s so amazing breaking that habit I’ve had since I was like 3.
for everyone who can't quit peeling or picking their nail polish due to stress or anxiety, just use a peel-off basecoat! they're made to be easily peeled off without damaging your nails at all. only downside, your mani won't last as long as with a different basecoat but that's obvious
+Felicia Korvo I think that's an AWESOME suggestion, Felicia!!!
Felicia Korvo
Yeah! You can just simply peel like no big deal!
Great but I don't have any and glue take forever to dry💢(not very patient when with glue) especially when I have an hour to do them
Edit: and my mani don't last long because one I don't even bother to put a top coat half the time and two I peel of my nail polish so I'm occupied with something whenever I want to hit someone at school but can't because my reputation is basically 'I'm nice,calm,quiet and don't break rules. I can get along with anybody and don't say no to anybody. I am also smart so I can help you when you need it and I am also an overachiever when I want to' this is what people literally think of me at school but the people that actually know me know that I do break rules but is too sneaky to get caught and I'm also lazy and don't like to overachieve and I like saying no. Some take advantage of the fact that most of my answers on a test or worksheet are correct and start to cheat off of me. That is my reputation but on the inside I'm a ticking time bomb. If you annoy me on the outside I will be calm but in the inside I am wishing that the person would some die or shut up. If you do something to make angry on the outside I would be calm and probably have a tick mark and on the inside I would be thinking 'ignore and don't hit him or her there will be consequences' so peeling off nail polish helps and with a peel off base coat it would come off easier but that would also increase the chance of me hitting someone. I'm actually very patient but when it comes to the popular/loud/annoying/rude kids I'm a ticking time bomb
After thought of typing this: why is my wording so horrible? Why did I ramble in this? And why and I going to post this?
P.S. I was not boasting that I'm smart it is just what people at school actually think about me(I have asked many people about what type of person vibe I give off at school). And people looking at my worksheets and test papers actually happened.

You're awesome and totally adequate Kelli! Love your channel! I'm a handicapped woman in my 50s and you've inspired me to start taking care of and painting my nails again. Thank you for being you! 💝
+Tammy Anderson / Mizz Tammy, thank you so much ❤ I am so happy you enjoy my content and your support means the world to me!!!!
I know this is an old video, but I almost cried at the end. You have touched/will touch more people than you will EVER know. I share what I learned from you with everyone who admires my nails. Of course I refer them to your videos, but older people (like my Mom and her friends...the 75+ club)are sometimes technologically challenged. You're reaching them through their daughters. I can't wait to teach MY granddaughters how to do their nails. You are influencing GENERATIONS of women! Inadequate? Nothing is farther from the truth.
Always...ALWAYS hold your head high, Queen. We love you.❤
Oh Roxanne, thank you so much for the vote of confidence and encouragement. You're gonna make ME cry! Its such a thrill that I even get to make these videos and that people even watch them. I'm so honored I get to share my knowledge and tips with you guys!
getting people to believe their nails DO NOT need to "breathe" is so difficult!
+Becky Schmidt lol! Honestly the most frustrating thing! In my first version of this video I went on a little rant about it but I realized that was probably unprofessional LOL
Kelli Marissa Lol! I probably would have giggled. But, sometimes saying less is more. Maybe? OMG! You should do a video on it! I can see it now. Facts, big, fancy pics involving nail matrix, plate, all the keratin being shoved around. Please wear nerdy glasses and have a laser pointer for it!
+Becky Schmidt LOL I think you're overestimating my graphic skills.. and my knowledge of nails hahaha
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂Lol true
Yes! Nails don't have lungs lol
You've totally inspired me to take care of my nails! I have really tiny nails, they break easily, and I have a nail biting habit. I just watch your videos while I paint my videos and it feels like I'm hanging with a friend c:
+Monica V haha Monica! I'm so happy to hear that my videos help. I know your nails are gonna get much stronger with time and care :P
Congrats on your award!!! I'll have to try Rejuvicote. I've tried most nail strengtheners but not this one. I wish I could keep my nail polish on but the top layer is so crumbly sometimes it just breaks off talking the polish with it. It helps to keep them polished so I do them a lot and touch up in between. Thanks for the ideas!! :)
I've been using these tips and my nails have grown so much faster,thank you for the helpful tips :)
+Hannah simpson I'm so happy to hear that Hannah!!
You bring so much to the table❗❗I can't imagine you would, for a moment, doubt that. Thanks for all you've taught me. I am very thankful for you in my life!!!
+dancingwholeness your comment just made my night :) thank you so much for your support ❤❤❤❤
I've been waiting for one of these! My nails grow fast, but they break so easily. Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely be trying them out!
+aimee attitude ooh you definitely have to try a strengthened!!
+Kelli Marissa strengthener**
aimee attitude lucky! My nails grow slowly and break easily :P
I used to bite my nails (still sometimes do) and am working on not biting them and making sure I take care of them. I just found this channel. I'm glad that you have the nail polish 101 and share you nail knowledge with us.
I’m so glad my videos have helped you, Montia! I’m going to do a video about nail biting soon :)
Aww Kelli congrats on the award, you DO deserve it. I watch your videos because while you are beautiful, well spoken, warm and likeable, the focus is really on nails (and make up) and learning. My nails are so much better since watching you. I trust your opinion and your videos are such high quality. Keep doing what you're doing!!

Glad that I found this video, I've been taking care of my nails since I find that they break a lot more in the winter time but I haven't broken one in almost 3 months.
Kelli, You are the sweetest ever! Congrats on the 100K and thx for the great nail tips! 💖
+Diana Leon oh thank you so much Diana! I really appreciate it ❤
Congratulations, Girlie! 🎊🎉
I’m super happy for you!!!🤗❤️❤️❤️ You’re so genuine, kind, loving, and can truly relate with each and everyone of us! So, THANK YOU for taking your own time making these tutorial video’s for us! They’re so fun, and super helpful! You’re awesome, sweetie! Congrats, again! We love you!👏👏😘👍💞
Oh wow thank you so much Lynette :) it means a lot to me :)
Congratulations, you are amazing I have learned so much from you. I have the bad habit of peeling my nailpolish when my nails chip. I knew it damaged my nails. Thanks to you my nail polish does not chip the next day like it used to . I promise you I will not peel my nailpolish anymore as a mater of fact ever since I have been following your advice I have not done it because my nailpolish lasts longer with no chips. Yay! Keep up the excellent work.
+Diana Pulido thank you so much Diana! I am so happy that my videos are helpful for you! And yessss please stop peeling your nail polish haha! I'm sure we are all guilty of doing it at one point but you'll find a huge difference in the strength of your nails if you stop! :)
You sooooooo deserve the recognition from UA-cam! Your videos are helpful and you're kind.....rare these days. Congratulations!
+Darth Mom oh my gosh thank you so much! It really means a lot to me! ❤️
Would love to have a Nails 101 about cuticles next in this series! Your cuticles always are perfect!!
+Samantha Cairo that's a great idea Samantha!
Congratulations on earning that play button! We wouldn't be here if you weren't good at what you do, so thank you for making great content. I love the 101 series and hope you do many more. Unfortunately, I'm not able to wear polish in my work, but I appreciate the skill and the love you have for the art of nail polish.
+Jessica Smith thank you so much Jessica :) yeah, unfortunately a lot of careers don't allow you to wear polish on the job :( I'm sorry to hear that yours is one of them!
Kelli Marissa It wasn't so bad until I got into watching nail artists on UA-cam and I wanted to put the pretty colors on my nails. :D
You're my favorite nail expert...one of the best UA-camrs! I LOVE watching your videos! You seem so warm and friendly and so down to earth! ♡♡♡
+Gail Tomberlin oh thank you so much Gail ❤ you are so sweet and your support means everything to me!!
Kelli you're the best!! Well deserved award!
+Shabonna100 ❤❤ thank you so so so much!!
congratulations on the award! you are truly a huge help to me. I've mentioned in another comment that your tips are so helpful to me and my 5 year old daughter who loves all things girly. it has created another layer of bonding for us because I'm learning to relate to something she enjoys and hopefully it'll make life easier when we hit the teen years! ;) so it may sound corny but I appreciate your videos beyond knowing how to do whatever nail art you're teaching.
That honestly makes me so happy to hear. Stories like yours about bonding with your daughter are what makes me feel so incredibly special to be able to create these videos :')
Would like to know what's the best Polish remover that won't damage your nails? Awesome videos, really helpful.😍
+Purita Fossas hey! I actually just use drugstore brand "strengthening nail polish remover" :) just whichever one says it has vitamin e!
I try so hard not to peel my nail polish off, But I suffer from three anxiety disorders and always end up picking at my polish when highly anxious. I have infused a bottle of base coat with garlic. I use coconut or jojoba oils on my nails 2-3 times a day and just doing that makes a huge improvement. I always have my nails painted. They're actually currently stained from all the red polish I wore around Christmas.
Also, I went gluten free back in April (gettng close to a year now wow) and noticed a HUGE change in my nails and hair. Both are growing faster. Nails are growing stronger. Hair is growing thicker (Not that I needed thicker hair)
+CrownedLily thank you for sharing your tips with us! I'm sorry to hear about your anxiety :( you might want to look into a peel off base coat or peel off nail polish - you'll be able to peel it without ruining your natural nail, plus more opportunities to paint your nails as a stress relieving activity :) I haven't heard that about gluten, but it's super interesting - will definitely do some research (although I definitely don't need thicker hair either LOL)
Congrats on the award, you deserve it! I love your content and your happy energy, and your nail art is so doable and real. We appreciate your hard work!
+Knitapeace I'm so happy to hear that :) thank you so much for your support, it means everything to me ❤
I actually appreciate so much that your thumbnail is realistic, if you know what I mean, like, there's people who put like a really short nail in the before side an then really really long nails and the title of the video is "grow your nails in a week", and you're like are you kidding me? So I appreciate that Kelli, great video, I will try them for sure
+Luisa Carrera haha I'm so glad you feel that way! I definitely don't think it's necessary to mislead people with clickbait. Honestly my nail growth in a week isn't INSANE but it's enough that I know my methods work :P thank you so much!
Congratulations on the silver play button. That is so exciting, keep up the awesome videos......
+Bobbie Sullivan thank you so much Bobbie!!!!
It's well deserved.
Thanks Kelli-- I will try this-- my nails are all crazy different shapes- u are the best & because of u I own more nail colors than I will ever use in a lifetime,,, lol!! I am totally addicted....
Just wanted to thank you for your advice. My nails have always been quick to tear and my cuticles have been terrible. I took your advice and started using cuticle oil and moisturiser every night and switched to a glass nail file and my nails are so healthy looking now . Wish I had taken a phot before so I could do a before and after photo. My nail polish also stays on much longer because of this (although I really like my healthy nail look so rarely wear it now lol). Thanks! :-)
Well deserved from You Tube, love watching your videos!! Don't feel inadequate, you are fab!! ☺
+Laura Bradley thank you so so much Laura! You are so kind!
congratulations hun!! you never should feel inadequate at all!! I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and I like a lot of people bought your BM plate, which is amazing by the way!!! You are a lovely young lady, keep your head up, keep doing your videos and keep smiling!! You have over 100,000 subbies you have nothing to feel inadequate about!!! Well done and I look forward to your next video!! tfs hun xxx
+Annette Gilbert thank you so so much Annette, your comments are always so kind and thoughtful! I really appreciate the support :) :)
I was super excited when I saw you had a new nail 101! 😃
:D Sorry for the delay, lol! I hope it was worth the wait!
Yes! It totally was! I can't wait to start using some of your tips and finally have beautiful nails! Also congrats on the awesome milestone, you deserve it 100% ❤❤
+Jessica Clarke thank you so much Jessica :) that means the world to me!
Hi Kelli! Thanks for your great videos! I’m trying desperately to get my nails to grow and have been loving all the tips and tricks I’ve learned from you! Keep up the good work!! 😊
Congratulations on the milestone and the U-Tube Award Kelli! I am definitely learning from you. With this one alone, I learned to stop picking my nail polish off and file my nails vs clip them with a clipper. Hmm more 101, I like the ridges idea... And maybe ridges with splits on tips. maybe I just have 2 really funky nails
+Carol Klans-Cerda thank you so much Carol :) I'm so glad you are finding my content helpful!! And who knows, maybe those nails can soon grow normally :)
congratulations on your award.. 💞
thank you for this very helpful video..
how often do you use your nail strengthener? some people have said if you use it continously then your nails will get too Brittle... has this happened to you?
+Russia Oberholzer thank you so much :) in the winter, I use it once a week, and it has not caused my nails to get brittle. Once my nails are very strong, I do switch to a regular base coat though :)
Kelli Marissa
thank you for that... :)
You are great. I love the way you talk about nail polishes. I love watching you. I have a question, I am a type 2 diabetic on insulin. My nails are about the length of yours. The question is why do they peel in layers? I am very careful and moisturize several times a day. I wear gloves anytime I do dishes or clean. I take care of them. They grow but they peel which makes them weak. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for your help. I have learned a lot from you.about nail care and polishes. Keep up the great job. God bless you. Thank you.
Hey Vicki, it sounds like your nail issues might stem from your health issues (or genetics!) These are the best tips I can offer but it might be worth it to ask your doctor if he has any recommendations as well.
@@KelliMarissa Thank you for replying so quickly. I will ask my doctor about this. You are a great lady, I love watching your videos. I look forward to all of your videos. God bless you.
How do you feel about using a nail cleanser before your base coat? I had a small size Formula X for Sephora Nail Cleanser and I found it made the polish last longer so I use that under my base coat. I use Ridge Filling from Essie. Would Rejuvacote negate the Cleanser?
+Laura Signor I have a feeling a nail cleanser is similar to nail dehydrator (basically just removing the oils and balancing the pH of your nail) so I don't think Rejuvacote should affect it at all :)
can you do a video on your hair care routine?
+Tracy Julien hey Tracy I actually do have a video about how I take care of my hair! :)
Congrats on the award! You earned it and deserve it! I love your videos and tutorials! Thank you for sharing, and I am SO looking forward to the fast drying tips video
+Elisabeth West thank you so much for your sweet comments and support, Elisabeth! :)
Your eye makeup is perfect!!! You should do a tutorial!!
+Alissa Gibbs thanks so so much Alissa! This is actually basically the same makeup as I wore in the tutorial video I just posted this week, but instead of brown at the outer corners I added black :)
When should you use nail strengthener and congratulations your tutorial are awesome!
You can use it anytime but I usually use it as a base coat in the winter when my nails are feeling a bit weak!
As someone who is completely crap at painting my nails, I absolutely adore this series. Literally the only time my nails seem to come out halfway decent is when I get them professionally done.
+Amanda M. Im so happy you're enjoying Amanda! I bet you are better than you think at doing your nails, we are our own worst critic :)
What is the polish organizer behind you?
Molly Allen She had a video about it! Her bf made it for her. I tried to get mine to make me one, but no luck so far! Lol
Congratulations! I found your account about 8 months ago and let me tell you. I love it! I found your instagram before and when I finally started watching your UA-cam videos I couldn't stop. I've seen ever video you posted for the last 8 months and lived all of them!
+Evelyn Walline oh Evelyn I'm so so happy to hear that ❤ your support means the world to me!!!!
I recently bought Revlon Diamond Texture nail polish. I only put on two coats and my whole nail is covered. I was wondering if you had tried it before because it seems so perfect and was wondering if it really is as good as I think it is. Also I love all of your videos!
+Anne McCon hey Anne, I actually haven't heard of it - I'll have to look it up and see where I can buy some!
congrats on the silver play button lady!!! you totally deserve it! you are so humble. you seemed so nervous when you were talking about doing makeup tutorials, DON'T BE!! Your makeup always looks uhhhmazing! 😊
+Beth Caldwell oh Beth thank you so much, that means a lot to me ❤❤❤ I know I'm not a pro or like the makeup artists on UA-cam haha but I figure it might be nice to have a "regular" person doing videos hahaha!
Kelli Marissa may I ask how often do you cut your fingernails when they grow out? I grow out my nails on a monthly basis before cutting them. Do you ever cut your nails while they have nail polish in them?
Hello, I don't cut them I actually file them, usually about once a week :) sometimes I'll do it with polish on but usually bare nails!
Do u use a nail strengthener before u apply base coat, or do u use it instead of base coat?
Congrats on your You Tube award!!!! So Glad you finally did this video. I ordered the crystal file you mentioned in one of your other 101 video's. I had ordered a different one from somewhere online before & I hated it. Well it must have not been a good file, because when I got the file you mentioned & started to use it....OH BOY!!! What a difference. I LOVE IT! Thanks. May even order a few more! Question? If you use the Duri Rejuvacote as a base coat, does it help from any nail polishes staining as well. Also, How many coats do you use? Thanks for the Video!
+Melissa Moretti- Stoops right?! I'm obsessed with that file! I've been using the same one since last January and honestly it still works fine, it's crazy. And thank you so much :) I use Rejuvacote as a base coat in the winter and I haven't had staining (and I loooove dark vampy colors in the winter) so I think you'd be good with just one coat, that's how many I use!
This may be a stupid question, but can you use strengtheners and/or base coat polish under gels? Thanks Kelli!!
That’s actually a great question but unfortunately I don’t know the answer, I have limited experience with gels :/ I’m sorry!
Congratulations on 100k+!!! I am so so so happy for you, you're such a cool person. Can't wait for your video on drying nail polish faster, is a pain in the butt when you are doing nail art
+chocopandadeamor thank you so much :) I'm excited for the next video too, hope you find it helpful!!
awww I think you're awesome! how long did it take for your nails to get really strong? my biggest problem is that my nail peels and obviously not strong so they peel or rip.
+VKS Dub oh thank you so much! Well I have to be honest, when my nails get week, it does take a few weeks at least to get them back to strength. I went home for the holidays for two weeks and didn't use any of my usual treatments and my nails got pretty dry and brittle. It took almost a month to get them back to normal using my strengthener, and filing and moisturizing regularly!
Congratulations on your You Tube award! Thanks for the tips! I use Bliss Kiss Simply Sealed Lotion stick and keep it in my purse so I can moisturizer my cuticles during cold Canadian winters.
+Ren Roz thank you so much Ren :) it sounds like the Cuccio stick I have! So convenient :)
Congrats on your award!!!! Your videos are awesome, you deserve it
+Daniela Sarmiento oh thank you so so much Daniela :)
Thanks! Do you have tips for peeling nails ( not the polish)? I have a lot of problems with that.
+Marina Wakefield hey Marina, using a nail strengthener should solve that problem - Rejuvacote specifically claims to help peeling nails actually!
Kelli Marissa I've already tried alot of strengtheners, but they don't seem to work. Sometimes I almost feel it gets worse when I use them. I work alot with my hands in water, my guess is that's the problem. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about that. Thanks for your answer anyway!
Do you have updates on any of these favorite products? My nails are breaking like crazy lately!
Honestly I still use all of the above! But another one I've been using religiously for strong nails is the Sally Hansen Vitamin E cuticle oil, it's always what I recommend when friends/family are dealing with weakened nails!
Great tips! and btw I want to let you know you totally deserve that award, and I love your channel and how you always respond to comments, it feels good knowing that THE Kelli Marissa is reading them and taking the time to respond, it means a lot to us subscribers as well :) keep it up!!
+Jocelyn Hernandez Jocelyn, you are so so sweet! Thank you so much :) I know I would be nowhere without you guys and your comments literally mean the world to me, honestly I am so happy reading them!
Nail Envy is my go to. Great video as per your usual. 💅🏽😍💕
Yesss a great product! Thank you!
Congratulations!!! Well deserved award!!!
+Jacqueline Leib thank you so much Jacqueline!!
All excellent tips! Keep mini lotions in different places - you’ll be surprised how quickly you get in the habit of keeping your hands nice and moisturized! 😃
Congratulations on the award, well deserved! You're not only adequate, you're helpful, friendly, funny and inspiring! :)
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on hitting 100k subscribers. What an amazing accomplishment! Secondly, thanks for the nail tips. I tend to have very brittle nails, so I will follow many of your tips (especially the garlic!). Looking forward to your other videos!
+Sweetwater Cakes thank you so much :) I'm glad that you're finding the tips helpful so far!
wow...no wonder you have so many subscribers. Your content is soooooooo USEFUL... and delivered in a happy, humble way :)
By the way, I am 56 and previously to today, utterly useless at doing my own nails. I honestly thought I had some kind of impairment...lol. You're awesome!! xo
Oh you are so sweet, thank you so much! I'm so happy you found this one helpful :) And don't get down on yourself - nail care is tough, and people don't talk about the basic steps often enough!! But once you get the hang of it, it's such a great self care time and the bonus is you get pretty nails haha!
I tried to read through some comments to see if anyone else asked but didn’t see it so hopefully I’m not asking something you’re asked all the time... but when you use a strengthener do you substitute that for the base coat? Or do you also apply base coat after you apply the strengthener? PS I LOVE your videos!! So informative and helpful!
+Kari-Lynne Luginbuhl hey Kari-Lynne! I actually use strengthener in place of base coat, but if you want you can definitely use both :) if you choose to do both, Id suggest strengthener, then base coat. I’m so glad you enjoy my content :)
I like your bios. Can you tell me how to keep my nails from peeling. I have one or two that constantly peel the top layer from the bottom layer
+47pattycakes these are my best tips for that, I'm sorry I can't help more :(
thank you so much for this - so many useful tips! i have the same problem...weak nails that are prone to breaking & peeling. i use Revlon's Treat & Boost; seriously, that stuff has saved my nails!! i'm loving the Nail 101 series :)
+Emily Jelassi ooh thanks for sharing! I'm so glad you're enjoying it Emily!!
Thanks for all of the great nail tips! I totally need all the help that I can get. You have become one of my favorite UA-camrs. ♥️🙂👍🏻
Oh I'm so happy to hear this 💙
Have you tried using garlic oil on your nails? I wonder if that would help strengthen them since you said garlic is so good? Thanks for the tips. Great as always!
+E. W. I haven't but I heard that it does help strengthen your nails! You should try it :)
I love garlic! Its a staple ingredient in my kitchen.
+Shon w yessss garlic is a must for every kitchen! I go through so much hahah
Kelly ! Congrats !! Finally the silver play button is yours ! keep up the flame of your creativity..Anyway,i would love to see your nail art for chinese new year because it's getting closer and i don't have much idea for simple but unique CNY nail art..😊😊😄😄
+Seruni Alam Maya thank you so so much Seruni ❤❤❤ I don't have any Chinese New Year nail art planned but you know what would be GORGEOUS, you should do a red mani with gold French tips!!!
Kelli Marissa yay ! i know you're very happy..😄😄 enjoy the moment dear..ok, that's a good idea haha but maybe we'll also try to draw chinese girl and boy character to combine with your tips ( copying from Pucca hahaha )..anyway i have to tell you that eventho iam subscribing your channel, the one who does my nail art is my husband haha,,he's even better than me, do you believe that ? 😂😂 encourage your BF to do more for you !! haha..💅💅
Haha I think that sounds great, and actually a few peope have told me their husband does their nails! My sister actually has her BF do her nails too LOL! I'm going to make my BF do them again :D :D
Then maybe you can make a collab with your sister or even make double date to do nail art challenge hahaha..it will be sooo much funnnn !! Can't hardly wait !!! 😍😍
Congratulations on the silver play button , so deserved .
I have been doing a lot of your tips for years and as you say they work .
I have always had strong nails that grow quickly but I still look after them and they have vanish on them 90% of the time .
My nails are the envy of my friends lol 😂
+Michelle Till thank you so much Michelle! It sounds like your nails are in AWESOME condition haha no wonder your friends are envious!!
Hi! What is the best cuticle remover in your opinion? Thanks!
I’ve only ever used Blue Cross Cuticle Remover!
aw i remember when you had less than 30K subscribers and now you have 115K.i'm really glad that your channel is growing❤you deserve much more subs
+aphrodite.drl oh my gosh thank you so much! I am so happy you've been here for me for so long ❤❤❤❤❤
You're welcome ❤keep making such good videos 😊👏🏻
I'm curious, since it has been a while since you made this video. Is Rejuvacote still your favorite strengthener almost five years later? :)
I'm gonna have to check out that video suggested about dry skin because even though it's summer, I STILL have a dry skin problem on my right thumb, and index finger, and my left baby finger. So weird!!
I know what you mean, for some reason this summer my skin has still been pretty dry haha
I know what you mean, for some reason this summer my skin has still been pretty dry haha
I just bought all the nail stuff you suggested, so can we put the nail strengthener on first and then continue on with our base coat nail polish and topcoat? @kellimarissa
+kaitlyn jean hey Kaitlyn! Yes, or you can use strengthener as a base coat if you'd like :)
Oh my gosh😁 thank you ! And so far so good ! My nails are still perfect and look like I've got them done professionally !! @kellimarissa
I had another question, I don't know if it's possible.. my pointer finger grows crooked, like the nail grows to the left. Is there anyway to fix it or stop it from doing that? Do you think if it grows out enough I can file it square ? @kellimarissa
Hi can you give some advice for getting ridges out of your nails
I would like info on how to prevent polish getting under your nails and if it does how to remove it. I used a medium teal and it went under the nail and stained underneath. Tnx so much. Katy
+Katy Gray my best tip for that is to use a small brush (I use a concealer brush) and pure acetone to clean under your nails! Hope this helps!
Thank you Kelli, hope you are well.
Thanks so much Patricia!
Have you ever used Mavala’s mava-strong?
New Subscriber! Thanks so much for these tips, I had no idea there was a formula 2 for Rejuvacote!
+Nicole Ferguson hey Nicole, welcome to my channel! Actually I've heard that people who use formula 1 frequently can experience their nails "adapting" to it and not working anymore, and formula 2 works for them instead! But I've never used the first one haha I figured the second would be better.
Kelli Marissa that's exactly what happens to me, it works for a bit then I feel like it isn't working anymore so I will get Formula 2 and see how it works for me. Thank you so much
Congratulations Kelli you definitely deserve it I love your videos I watch you all the time and I have started building my nail polish collection I have about 150 nail polish is now which is probably nothing compared to you but it’s a lot to me I’ve had to figure out where to put everything all the nail art supplies and everything but anyway I really appreciate your videos and you keep doing what you do girl and about you saying you don’t feel adequate you definitely should be really proud of yourself I’m pretty sure you’re younger than me but I kind a look up to you because you seem very mature and well put together and you still manage to have time to color your hair all the time and change your nails and your make up and organize all your million nail polishes I mean gosh I don’t know where you find the time to do all these things LOL anyway you go girl!!!!
Hi Kelli, have you tried Rejuvacote 2 and if so, which do you prefer? Thanks!
+2tzus I do use Rejuvacote 2 actually, I've never used the first formula but from what I heard, they are extremely similar. I believe the only difference is that formula 1 dries quicker.
I think formula 2 has less chemicals in it also. Do you buy it online? I see Walmart has formula 1 but I haven't seen formula 2 there.
+2tzus yes, you're right - formula 2 is formaldehyde free as well! I think that's why it dries slower. I used to buy formula 2 at a nail polish supply store but now I order it from Amazon when it's available!
That is just awesome! Congratulations 🎉 your videos are so helpful and fun to watch. Keep up your awesomeness
Thank you so much Elizabeth!
Is rejuvicote OK to use under gel polish
Great tips! 👍 Congratulations on your UA-cam award!! You work hard on your channel and you deserve it!! Any tips on how to grow your channel? I'd appreciate any input you have to share! Congratulations again!!! 💜💅💜
+Sharon Hoelzle thank you so much Sharon :) my best tip is just to keep going and don't let the numbers define your success.. I've been at it for a while and it definitely didn't happen overnight haha! As long as you love what you do, you'll find success :)
Kelli Marissa Thank you so much!!! 💜💅
Congratulations!!!! Well deserved award!!!!🏆
+Kathleen Grob oh thank you so so much Kathleen ❤❤
You always have the best tips👌🏻👌🏻
:D Thanks so much Emily!!!
Do you still like this strengthener the best?? Have you tried the cuccio one ???
I actually haven’t tried the cuccio one! This is my favorite. I should give it a try though :)
Your tips and hacks are awesome, thanks for sharing and being super understandable 😉😆😙
+Rhonda Wiley I'm so glad you like my content Rhonda :) :) :)
Love the garlic tip and I love garlic but have never seen elephant garlic before...I must find it!!! Thanks for making this. I am a new subscriber but enjoying getting caught up on your vids :)
+Haten Google haha omg it's my favorite thing in the world. I recently bought regular garlic and I had no idea what to do with it, it was so tiny compared to what I'm used to now! And anyway, welcome to my channel :) :) I'm so happy you like it so far!!
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 100,000!!! YOU SO DESERVE IT GIRL! So happy for you. Hope your bf took you out to celebrate. 🎉🎉 I just got home from the ballet, 2nd row, center, amazing! Awesome video as always!!! Does the Rejuvacote dry fast? I look so forward to your videos. You crack me up Kelli!! Love you. Peace out brussel sprout 💅💅❤❤
+RonneeSue Scott haha thank you so so much! Omg that sounds like an amazing experience! 💃🏻 Yes, Rejuvacote does dry super quickly, I usually just paint all 10 nails with it and by the time I'm done, the first nail is pretty much dry :) love you too!!! Hahahaha
Kelli Marissa if you don't mind me asking Kelli, how old, or should I say young, are you?
Of course I don't mind! Haha. I'm 25 :)
Hello so do u still use that strengthener or is Cuccio a good base coat strengthener ? Your awesome ..GALAXY GANG!!!!(THUG VOICE) LOL
I use Cuccio usually but I always go to Duri Rejuvacote when my nails are feeling brittle or soft!
Lots of great tips Kelli, and YAY!!! For the silver button, and I want you to know how much I look forward to getting my lil notification saying Kelli has a new video 😀😊 and BTW quick question, I have tried lots of tips and tricks for nail growth, but for some reason, my pointer and middle finger nails just won't grow, any advice?
+Gina Rose oh Gina, that means so much to me :) thank you so much for your support!! Hmm, have you injured those two fingers? Sometimes you can damage the nail (like where your knuckle is, before it's visible on your finger) and it can stunt the growth.
Kelli Marissa Not that I can recall, but the weird thing is it's the same on both hands, those two fingers just are so brittle, and they never seem to grow,especially the pointers. I am tempted to get acrylics but I know how they damage your natural nails. If you find a y .ore tips PLZ let me know, big hugs and thanks 💚💛💜
+Gina Rose oh man that does sound really annoying! Maybe you can try to do some treatments on just those two nails and see if it makes a difference?? You can try rubbing garlic on them haha 😅
Kelli Marissa Oh yeah 😀I had forgotten that you said garlic really helps your nails. Should I just rub raw garlic on them, or is their like a garlic oil lol
I think there are garlic infused strengtheners but I haven't tried any! I know some people rub raw garlic on them too :P
Hi, Kelli. Where did you get your nail rack (behind you)?
+Kitty hey! My bf actually built it for me :)
That is so cool :-)! It looks really good :-))).
I recently stopped biting my nails after 20 years and I’m surprised to know that my nails grow super fast and they’re pretty strong. They’re not bendy lol. I don’t even have the urge to bite them anymore. It’s so amazing breaking that habit I’ve had since I was like 3.
Do you still use the nail strengthener once you get them to the length you want?
I do usually just to keep them strong and to prevent breaking! But I'll switch to a different brand every other time so they don't get too tough!
@@KelliMarissa thank you! I would love to have my nails grow to be beautiful like yours but have no idea where to start lol
Eeeeeeeee! Congrats on your UA-cam milestone! Very cool looking!
+Becky Schmidt thank you so so much!! :)
Congratulations on the silver play button Hun x
+debbie midwinter thank you so much Debbie :)
Congratulations...I love your videos and your personality..
