In this video, I’m talking about body shaming in the online nail polish community, and why I think that we need to be more thoughtful about the way that we discuss other people’s nails, hands, and other physical features. I share my thoughts on how easy it can be to forget that there’s a real person on the other side of the screen, and wrap up with some ideas about how we can make our online nail polish spaces kinder and more welcoming for everyone. 00:00 Introduction 02:42 How I started thinking about this topic 14:23 What is body shaming? 21:19 It doesn’t only happen to creators 26:12 How to build more welcoming nail polish communities 32:34 Final thoughts Thank you for watching ❤️
Body Shaming in the Nail Polish Community
In this video, I’m sharing how I use unmagnetized magnetic toppers as shimmer toppers! After showing how each topper looks when magnetized in the cat-eye and velvet styles, I compare how the unmagnetized shimmer changes depending on the base color underneath it, and explain why the color combinations that I chose are based on color theory. 00:00 Introduction 02:39 What’s on my nails? 04:32 Cracked Polish: Petals on the Surface 10:06 Cracked Polish: Scorchy + Starrily: Magma 17:28 Jen & Berries: Champagne Spray 21:20 Cracked Polish: Beginner’s Luck 25:49 BCB Lacquers: Only That Would Be Torture 30:55 Final thoughts Thank you for watching!

Using Unmagnetized Magnetic Toppers as Shimmer Toppers
In this video, I’m using Glitter Unique’s Plant Nerd Sample Pack to create plant-inspired nail polishes! Even though the sample pack is a limited edition one that is no longer available, you can still get the individual pigments that are included in it. Throughout the video, I show how to use the different types of pigments to create various effects within nail polishes. 00:00 Introduction 04:11 What’s on my nails? 06:07 Unpacking and organizing the contents 11:51 Supplies that I’ll be using 17:20 Polish 1 34:52 Polish 2 40:00 Polish 3 46:42 Polish 4 52:42 Polish 5 01:05:45 Polish 6 01:17:09 Final thoughts Thank you for watching!
