I’m definitely guilty of the same Holly! Sometimes its worth spending the cash and sometimes it’s not. I’m always happy to find cheaper alternatives I like just as much!! 🥰
I did some of these for myself a couple weeks ago after really wanting the Kokoist set, but knowing I'd probably only use it a couple times a year at most, I went with the Born Pretty fall jelly set. I used all of them to just do a couple of nails and it was stunning. Now I've been frequenting several of the Japanese nail channels to see how they use browns like this, so I can get more use of them. Thank you for covering this! There are always different ways and I love seeing them. 👍💖
You gotta love a $9.99 set of 6 gels that can give you so many different looks! That’s awesome! Feel free to share some of those Japanese nail channels and I’ll take a look when I can. I’m sure some others would be interested too! @basesloadedlacquer did some amazing nail art with hers! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@carriegnails I was all over those $9.99 gels when I saw them! I'm just loving the look and the versatility of the gels themselves. I'm hooked on these two: Nail Nana Channel UCEhgFCb2c7L46yA8gR1PcIA and uee nail Channel UC3VX73iMYG84Az-Ey8mHvkA Happy Saturday! 🥰💝
These are absolutely gorgeous 😮 and I’m so thankful that you always take in consideration that all of us can’t afford the expensive option so you give us a just as good affordable option!! Thank you so much for everything you do for us here on the channel Carrie, it definitely doesn’t go unnoticed ❤
You’re so sweet Savannah! 🥹 Thank you for those kind words! I definitely enjoy trying new things and helping you guys sort out what’s worth spending coin on. I am really happy with the value and versatility of this BP set. I’m so glad you’re finding my videos helpful! 🥰
@@carriegnails girl, if it wasn’t for you I would be clueless on how to do good quality dip powder nails at home! I’m so thankful I found your channel 😆
I’m so glad you made this video!! I had also watched her tutorial but couldn’t stomach the price of the gels recommended. I had seen your Born Pretty video and thought you could use those to get a similar look!
It’s such a good tutorial right?! But even though I like the DC gels I still get sticker shock with that price tag! 😬 Definitely happy to have a cheaper option ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Rose!!
WOW!!!!! Awesome comparison!!!! Maybe a little tad of black mixed with the cheaper brown would give it a little less transparency. I bet you CANNOT tell the difference without inspection!!!! Awesome!!! Thank you for this, Carrie!!!!
Thanks Diane! 🥰 you’re definitely right! That’s what I tried to do and it seemed to help. I think the only way you can really tell is to get really really close 😁❤️😘
yaaaassss! bp crystal amber collex ftw! 🙌🏽 these are both gorge tbh, but i'm too broke-ass to spend $25 on one gel polish, which is why i'm a madam glam vip. $30/mo + half-off gels is so worth it for my budget right now. but i ain't ever mad at a bougie bargain. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 you did a great job, momma.
Thank you!! 🥰 I totally get it. I don’t mind spending more for gel polishes but I love a good bargain more. Now after seeing your amazing nail art I’m convinced the possibilities with this set really are endless! I like Madam Glam polishes too. 😊 haven’t sprung for the VIP yet though.
Ima be honest, I think they both look beautiful, but I actually prefer the born pretty gels. That's good, because I'm often reminded that I have champagne tastes on a beer budget. Glad to know my heart and wallet are occasionally in line. 😂
Girl you and me both!! 😂 I really like them both a lot for different reasons. But I admit I have a bit of a soft spot for the BP gels, especially at that price! 🥰
Imma bougie girl but when it comes to learning I’m on a budget 🤣 thanks for this vid, this technique is on my list….. working on some pop art, well practicing… like I’ve done two press ons and at the end my black I used was crap and bled thru when I put the matte coat on. A F
That’s what’s great about budget options right?! You can try new options without breaking the bank! I actually was considering doing a pop art nails video. It’s a fun look for sure! ❤️
@@carriegnails with this new sched coming up promise to find a way to balance and bring the whole fam in on this, breathe and do YOU!🫶 I depend on you twice a week!💞
They look great!
Thank you so much!! 🥰
I like the look of both. I like the comparison!
Thank you Erika ! I definitely like them both for different reasons! 🥰
They look great ❤
Thank you Carol!! 🥰
STUNNING! Thank you for doing the comparison. I often mistake price with quality and this is super helpful. Thank you again!

Thank you Becca! Me too. 🥰
Very nice Carrie, thank you!
Thank you Michelle! 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for making this technique less intimidating! I picked up the born pretty gels recently and I really like them!

They came out so pretty. However, the Daily Charm look is my favorite. I like the concentrated look.
Thank you Stephanie! 🥰 It definitely makes a statement right!? ❤️❤️❤️

I like them both. I def would not pay for the more expensive gel. The less expensive works just as well. Love the mani! ❤
Thanks Barbara! ❤️❤️❤️ I love finding cheaper dupes. I’ll spend the money if I have to, but I’d rather not! 😆

@@carriegnails I’ve practiced on two and all the hard work my black bled with the matte
Found a new black and will cook a wee bit longer. Practice practice practice
What are you doing with the white nails?
Oh nothing really, just always struggle to get myself to do a one color mani. Just added the white to have a little contrast. 🥰
I haven’t even watched the vid and I’m 👍
Aww yay thank you Wendy!! ❤️😘
