      The quality is good until you put it on after a couple coats or one of the coats is not completely dry. The brushes are also very fat, stiff, and hard to work with

    O👏🏻M👏🏻G👏🏻 yes! This is a huge pet peeve of mine too! I feel like this is something that certain nail polish brands use to trick unwary consumers. I've seen many people who get very confused on actual gel vs "gel-like" polishes. I really don't think any polish should be allowed to say "Gel" at all anywhere on the product unless it's an actual gel that needs a UV or LED lamp to cure with. Thank you for addressing this! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

      Yeah it's pretty frustrating. I think it's super misleading and then people will say gels don't work for them (thinking they're using gels lol.) I wish it would stop.

      BEWARE the Emerald Metalic - it really really stained my nails. I used a base coat, applied the color, wasn't really feeling the "vibe" so I immediately removed it
      O M G my mails were soooooo stained. Even using straight acetone didn't get all the staining off. I ended up having to lightly buff my nails with a superfine smoothing block(which I'm not a fan of doing) just to remove the color. Dont think I'll be using that color again, otherwise I love their polish.

    Thanks for reviewing polishes available at the dollar store, that's great! So far two shades from this brand impressed me, #542, "Cocktail" a really nice pink based glitter. It looks so pretty in the sunlight especially and as an accent nail. You can use it as a topper or sponge/multiple coats for full opacity. #517, "In The Nude", a sheer well nude lol that's perfect for French manis with one coat. Thanks again!

    GIRL!!! It took me so long to train my brain to listen to audiobooks! I used to have a 2-hour commute each way and had no other option but to listen to audiobooks. I used to be a physical book/kindle person but now I *LOVE* audible and have listened to SO MANY more books than I’ve physically read in the last few years ( I haven’t picked up a physical book in probably 3 years....grad school killed my love of reading) Listening comprehension and reading are two very different skills and use different parts of your brain. You can definitely build those skills up through practice though! What I did was I listened to a couple books that I’ve read several times before. I figured I already knew the story and didn’t need to pay *that* much attention. Gradually I got better at *listening* and paying attention and branched off to new books and even new genres. I don’t think I have the patience to sit and read anymore. I have to do so much research and reading for work that I just don’t enjoy it as much as I used to :( But I love my audiobooks and couldn’t do without them!

    • @KelliMarissa
      @KelliMarissa  5 років тому +1

    • @yeoldecatwench834
      @yeoldecatwench834 5 років тому

      Kelli Marissa Lol that’s true too.... it does take longer than just reading... but I found that I could actually enjoy the story more with audiobooks. When I read, I tended to focus on the page at hand, and often had to re-read or go back. But with audiobooks, it’s easier to enjoy the story because it’s all one long segment... idk there’s just something primordial about sitting and listening to a great story for a couple hours! Don’t know if you’re a Stephen King fan but if you are, I highly recommend the Dark Tower series on audible. That’s how I started because I’ve read all of those books probably 7-8 times before I listened to them. There’s two guys who narrate them but both are really good. The Harry Potter books on audible are good too! I listen to them pretty frequently!

    I like to call these my one-day, one-dollar polishes because they chip quickly (usually by day 2) but they're only a dollar at my local $1 store so they're perfect for a quick, cheap mani that doesn't need to last. They're also really to apply with their easy-to-control formula (and like Kelli said, the shine!). Their greens, yellows & blues ARE strainers tho so definitely use good base coat if that's something you care about.

    • @KelliMarissa

    I had a hard time getting used to audiobooks when I first tried them. What I found worked for me was listening to books I had already read and was interested in re-reading. Like the Harry Potter series. Having them play over a Bluetooth speaker while I clean or paint is really nice. With the audible app it's really easy to go back and listen to things I might've missed. You can also speed up the narration. I'll always love reading, but while I'm doing something I prefer an audiobook over music.

    Wow those are some beautiful polishes! Hope I can find them somewhere round here.
    I also love reading but don't like audio books, I feel like I'm not as focused on the book and won't remember half the story after a few days. It's never as relaxing as sitting down and just reading with no distractions. I can get so into my book that I won't notice whats going on around me.

      Yeah I do love sitting down in a comfy spot with a great book! There's nothing like it!
