I am constantly puzzled that strangers feel it's ok to tell other strangers what they think someone should get, e.g. lip fillers. The world is judgemental enough without adding to it. I personally think you do indeed rock that lipstick. The old adage of, "if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all", is a good one to live by.

You are a beautiful girl and your makeup is always on point. Lip size, like everything else, goes through cycles.

It is seriously life changing haha!

I would say that my top ten things a budding nail artist needs are: 1. Black one coat polish 2. White one coat polish 3. Quick dry topcoat or UV/LED gel topcoat 4. e.l.f. concealer/clean up brush 5. Striping tape in many colors 6. Set of 12 acrylic paints- mix any color, dries in seconds and errors scrape right off 7. A few small art brushes and dotting tools, orange wood sticks, or even toothpicks 8. French manicure guides, (or hole re-enforcers cut in half,) decals and seasonal stickers 9. Assorted fine glitters 10. Crystals, rhinestones, half pearls, metallic accents, etc.-- super cheap on Amazon! One could probably go on Ali Express and get everything on this list for about $50. Someone on a tight budget could even put everything on a wish list and then just buy a few dollars worth each pay day and have it all in a month or two.

I just started with nail art but my favourite so far other than those that were mentioned are acrylic paint! They are super easy to apply with any kind of brush, dry super fast and with a top coat are just as glossy as polish. The nice thing is that over dried top coat it is easy to fix mistakes because you can gently scratch it off. So yeah that is my favorite tool for nail art details :)

ive been using the elf brush since highschool for cleaning up my french tip manis lol. oh man i love that brush. so versatile!

I would love to see a favorite top coats video!! My search hasn't been going well, and I'd love to see what you recommend!

I used to take a toll painting class way back when and I had two dotting tools for that so I was excited to have something to start with when I started getting into nail art. My daughter bought me a "nail art dotting tool set," but I still reach for the old ones first! She also shared her striping tape with me and I think it was a lifetime supply for both of us! I know you mentioned that stamping is a 201 series, but if you could, I certainly would be interested in seeing that, especially how to clean up between nails! Thanks!

I'd add plain old cotton balls or I prefer the cotton rounds that don't leave any fuzzies behind. I use them to take polish off, clean around the top of the polish bottle and of course for cleaning stamping plates. Probably my #1 nail polish tool and go though a lot of them. I also like the pointy little cutips for cleaning up around cuticles and for placing glue for crystals. They are great for cleaning the inside lid around the brush if you get polish inside it as it will dry and seal the polish shut if you don't, Don't you have a very old video showing how to do that - I think I learned that trick from you actually. Great video. I saw the feather and thought it was something floating across my computer screen but couldn't get it to go away. Glad you cleared that up (haha).

I applaud that you love your lips the way they are. I'm tired of people shaming other people for the type of lips that they have. God blesses us to be uniquely individual in the way we look, the way we think, and our brilliant personalities. I love your uniqueness!

With the neon colored nail polish if you put white first it makes it look brighter and black makes it darker.

Yassss girl!!! Love natural girls!! And you're deff rocking that shade! Also... Fun fact... I wouldn't even have noticed the feather.. Or.. Maybe I would have.. Idk! 🤷 But it was pretty funny when you pointed it out 🤣 You're hilarious! Definitely my favorite nail youtuber!!! Been binging your videos since the other day when I found you!!
