Coming back to say- you should stir them before the first use- and anytime they’ve been sitting for a while! Because of so much pigment- it can separate from the gel while sitting for a while- also they aren’t for full cover nails! Just details and linework ❤❤❤thanks so much again for the support!!!!

Yeah. It said it but then she didn't do that. Maybe that is why the white was weird.

@nailzbydev Does the collection/colors look different if you stir them as you should? Or are her swatches accurate?

@@erikajohnson743 i would say unless you know what it looks like stirred, i would be wary about the swatches. maybe there is another youtuber who stirred it that you can watch.

Nothing better than when Emily and Evie post on the same day!!! Evie also used Devs gels on the set she did today lol.

Can you at Evie I need more nail creator content for when Emily’s videos run out.
David is all of us 😂 "You did a great job on that!" I KNOW, RIGHT DIDN'T SHE!?
David is such a supportive king. Love how excited his reactions are at the end of the videos. ❤️

My husband passed 4 years ago and watching Emily's videos while doing my nails has been a big comfort ritual of mine. Sending you lots of positive vibes so you get through this hard time and come out even better on the other side!🖤🖤🖤
I love your husband’s reaction. You did a phenomenal job. Think about it. You drew those pictures with your nails super long. That can only happen with pure talent. Putting gelly over silver holo has got to be a money saver. You don’t have to buy a hundred different holo colors. You can put the jellies over black or white to make them solid colors.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how supportive and excited David gets every time you show him. He is so cuute. I only wish to have a supportive spouse like that one day. Go Emily! &David ❤
Eevee is my favorite Pokémon, because of all the different evolutions. I really love your Espeon art and the Holo with the purple on top is really beautiful. Also, I really love Buldak noodles and adding all kinds of different things to it. Your chicken nail is spot on.
The way he held your two fingers and led you thru the house to look for the noodles was so sweet 🥰
Your art is absolutely incredible. You should be so proud of these and so many other nails you’ve done. The tiny details on such a tiny canvas! They’re just beautiful ❤
I love seeing David’s reactions, he is so wholesome 🥹
you inspired me years ago to do gel nails and still love it today, thank you emily
I love David's reaction to your nail art! How sometimes you think your job was like, so-so, and he 's like WOOOOWWWW! But I often feel you're way too perfectionist! So good you loved this set!
i just love the way David reacts to your hard work every time! you can just tell he really loves you and is so proud of youuuu!!!!
Hey i saw Nailzbydev already commenting this too, but make sure to stir them before use! That is always a problem with gel pots, they separate, so to get the best result you need to fully stir them especially before first use!
David’s reaction is so sweet. Love to see partners supporting each other and encouraging their interests.
That holo powder with the purple jelly ontop is so gorgeous. That's like the best combination I've ever seen, so in love 😍 Awesome sets! 💖💖
I have every collection Dev has come out with!! Her products are amazing quality!! I’m so happy to see you try them!!! You need to stir them!!!!!
I always look forward to your videos! I wish I would have waited to paint my nails now, I like to paint with you, you give me such inspiration!
Just wanted to say that advice about using your nondominant hand in mundane every day tasks is sooooo smart. I feel like over the past couple years i really have improved in my dexterity but i could totally level up my game by using my non dominant hand more often. Great advice...and i love how this set came out ita soooo good!!!
I get so excited when I see an Emily video and it’s almost an hour long 😊
oh my gosh! i’m so proud of how far you’ve come with your nail art. these look incredible!!!
You are way better in nail art than you think ❤ please don't talk down to yourself, you are really good in nails ❣️ Sending love and hugs for the pups 💋
Favorite part of all you vids is when David gets to hype you up about how great you did. It always makes me smile
David being an absolute angel to her makes me happy 😢
honeslty the reactions your husband gives at the end are my favorite parts of your videos 💖 its so sweet and wholesome!! hope you all are doing eell 💖
The sound of the storm in the background was sooo comforting
Omg i love how david grabbed you by the hand and pulled you to the kitchen to show you how great you did omg love that ..
I looooove Dev’s gels!! They’re so easy to use and the pigment is there, for real. I love her brushes, too. They turned out great!! The Samyang Hot Chicken?! I love it. 😂 It’s infinitely easier to put a layer of matte topcoat on after you color block before you outline. Makes the lines super crisp and it’s a lot easier to draw on. 💜

she forgot to stir it so i imagine some colors didn't work as well as they should have (white being the example.
No like I’m OBSESSED 😍 I love a good collection that brings me back to childhood. I just watched Evies carebear nails and now this with the y2k/old school vibe just makes me so happy. I miss those days of being a kid & not having worries 😂😅
Definitely some of my favorite hand drawn nail art I’ve seen Emily do!
I love that you include David's reaction in your videos ❤❤ he is so supportive & precious! You can hear how sincere & proud he is of you!! They came out so bomb & thst holo effect was TRUTH! I need to try it out myself...thank you for the inspo!! Xo
HEY EMILY I hope things are going well, I hope your heart is starting to heal although there will always be that missing piece. I just truly hope you and Hubby are doing good, as good as you can under the circumstances. Know you’re not alone and you have a huge community of people that love you. I’ll always be here for you if you need someone to talk to or just to vent. 😚 love yous!!!

Thank you lovely 💗🥺
My favorite set so far!! As soon as I had seen that purple OMGGGG I'm obsessed with it!!!!!!❤
These are amazing! My Jeep is Gengar inspired; the other incredible purple Pokémon! I love your style and taste. You are true to yourself, and you and your husband are such special people that make a super special couple! Love you guys. Thinking of you during this difficult time, Emily. Thank you for taking the time to share your many talents with us.
The tip about using your opposite hand for daily tasks to build dexterity is such great advice!
I am OBSESSED with the Espeon set! These days I’m a big purple fan so the base in general had me hooked, but after adding all the final details I am in love! You’re getting so skilled! 💜💜
Your sets are stunning my lady! Both colors are SO gorgeous alone but even better together with all you did. Thbaks for anothet great video, & stunning nail set 😊💕
The purple on top of the holo was mesmerizing 😍
You did such a good job on these! I was randomly watching older vids and found myself watching the spinning wheel ones and the 2 nail mashups from your nail jar. You should totally think about bringing those back haha. They're super fun and random!
I already thought you were super good at nail art but these are just WOW!! I'm glad you had an easier time with these gels
First off, wow we love David! Second, I think this is also my favorite set you’ve ever done! I’m definitely gonna do the chrome/jelly nail polish combo with silver stars. You absolutely killed this one ❤️🔥
It’s the sped-up squeal for me 😂❤
I do nail art, well art in genral as well and I found that doing all colors and layers from light to dark makes things look sharp and realistic! Always finish with your outline color. If you need an outline for mapping you can use the color of the the area you are drawing.
The support from ur husband is amazing! I wish my husband was that supportive! 🔥🔥
These nails left me speechless and shooketh and madly in loveeeee with them!!!
These are amazing. I think I'm gonna do that same holo powder + jelly for ny next set. Im just a diy-er and i have learned so much from your videos
I love how supportive he is. So sweet 💜💜
These have got to be the best drawn ones you’ve done yet!!! Great job ❤🥰

Agree, these are your best hand-drawn nail art so far, amazing. Love your videos
off topic, but i love your background music and sped up of you doing your nails! its so cozy and comforting to watch
You did an amazing job. All the prep really worked in your favor! I think even more than the product. It was all you! I think you should keep honing your drawing skills because you have talent and the will to improve.
You knocked these out of the park! Good products wont make you instantly amazing, but they certainly help when you are already as talented as you are! I know that everyone is their own worst critic, but even when things don't turn out exactly like you hoped you should still take pride in it. Most people wouldn't even attempt the things you do. ❤

You did such an amazing job on these sets!!!!!!! I have been wanting to try Nails by Dev's products and I follow all the same girls on IG as well and after seeing your video I am definitely going to buy these gel liners. I can't wait to see more nail art from you now!
I love her products they are amazing..jelly polish set is my favorite from her store
I’ve been watching you for like 5 years you’ve come so far with hand drawing Emily
Definitely some of my favourite sets you’ve ever done, they are both so so so pretty! Dying to buy those holo gels now
I would LOVE to see a whole set of all the eeve evolutions ❤❤ I would cryyyy
Omg yayyy thank you so much I can’t wait to watch this!
Can we all just admit we wish we had a hubby that is so sweet & supportive?
You did such a good job i love seeing davids reaction you guys are so cute id love seeing a video of either you using these gels on him or him using them on you 💗
Awesome sets!! So glad you mentioned the tips on using non dominant hand! I always wondered how you were so good at it!!
I am in love with that holo background 😍😍😍 and that you can see it on the under side. Deffo a big level up, and looking forward to more 👍
I swear your art/drawing skills are improving right before my eyes- you’re getting good, girl! ❤
Some of the cleanest looking art I've seen u do... and yes I can TELL the quality is WAY better then most others and I am now hooked into getting some for myself! Geeze.. lol
This is one of my favorite sets you’ve done! And you’re right, that background looks crazy dope! ❤
I love when we get David’s reactions!! And these are also probably some of my favorite nails you’ve ever done!! I love the halo + jelly effect!!
super cute your def getting better and better
*I freaking love those nails! Both sets are fantastic!!* 😱❤️ As far as nail art goes, the thing that helped me SO much (ironically) was breaking my dominant hand last year! 😂 Being forced to do everything with my right hand for several weeks, really leveled my game up. Obviously my suggestion isn’t for people to break their hands… But I would highly recommend that you practice writing and drawing with your opposite hand, at least a few minutes every day! Pick a daily quote and a simple drawing (like a heart/smiley face/star/etc) and draw/write it out about 3-4 times. Within a month, you’ll be amazed how much you improve!❤
I LOVER HERE GELS they truly changed nail art for me
Oh my goodness these are some of my fave Nails you've ever done!!! ❤️❤️❤️
YOUR ESPEON TURNED OUT AMAZING!!! 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰Sending you peace and love ❣
These turned out SOOOOOOOO GOOD!! One of my FAV SETS OF YOUR NOW!! Love the holo under the purple 💜💜
i love the purple with the holo it’s so beautiful
I love the nails! You constantly practicing and showing us your progress has really inspired me to try harder but also reminds me that it takes time to learn these skills and its ok to fail or not be happy with a design. I can’t wait to see what you do in the future, now that you’ve gotten more comfortable with nail art 💕
So before now, I'm not sure I could pick out my favorite set you've done. However, I can definitely say the Espeon set is my absolute favorite! It is gonna be HARD to beat! You should do all of the eeveelutions in a set!
I have been following you since early on in Portland. I am so impressed with your nails and you and David are so stinkin adorable! I just love you guys
You are soooo talented! You don't give yourself enough credit. You're friggin' amazing!
The holo and purple jelly had me gagged!!! So soooo beautifulll
I use stamping gel polish and saviland paint gel for my art because I was on a budget. They may might not be good products as nails by dev, but I still manage to paint cartoon and anime characters pretty well because I practice a lot. But one day I want to get her products.
I think this is one of my favorite sets you’ve done
Omg Emily you have came a very long way! The nail art is spot on! I love them so much I can't believe how long I have been here I think since 2019 or 18 but man you definitely have the talent! Pray one day I get to meet you in real life! You are the reason I started doing my nails honestly!! Because I'm the beginning you showed me how u can do your nails at home I wanted to do it too! But your the best thing that ever happened to me! Because without you I believe nothing is great about me but now I can do my own nails thank you so much for giving me something I care deeply about! Even tho you didn't know you helped me in so many ways! Thank you! I love your channel so much!! U make me feel really relatable.. ❤❤❤❤
Yea dev and ball pit addict say to use lighter strokes and lines on the insides of the faces and use darker bold lines for the outside when drawing characters they also both have a lot of good tips and tricks to do nail art and also have great tutorials for certain characters and the easier way to kind of explain and get the best results!! I love your videos Emily also love Evie videos your both so talented!! Love when you post new videos and have tons of tips and tricks to use to create better nail art thanks so much for that!!! ❤😊
Omg loved both the sets ❤ that holo be popping so well 💕
My favourite set to date!! Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤❤❤❤
I was hoping you were gonna hit the first color blocking but with a buffer, i usually do that, sometimes after everything I add just to get rid of some texture and to avoid adding too many layers. Of course carefully without taking away too much color, and if you do take a little away you can always add it back.
Amazing work Emily! Your partner is such a hype man! I love it!
your nail art has improved so much!!! don’t be so hard on yourself it looks so good 😊
Not the way your literally my favorite KZreadr omfg 💕💕 nothing better than coming back to my dads house and seeing you post
They came out so good! I’ve been hoping that you’d try this brand for awhile and I’m so happy you did!
HI, I am 50+ and totally love you videos tutorials and can't get enough.♥
I might need to pick up that purple jelly polish, cuz that over the holo looks crazy!! Such a cool base for an Espeon set!
I know am just a number in your subscriber count, but am truly truly proud of you!! You did so good on this set! ♥️
I'm definitely doing this purple jelly with the holo powder tomorrow! Thank you for the inspiration I'm never in the mood sometimes until I see your videos! Plus I'm getting some bomb a** press ons in the mail soon!
I would love Umbreon theme nails! Speon looks so cute!❤❤❤❤
i could easily watch a 12 hour vid i never get bored of ur vids its so comfy here 🎀💕🙇♀️
Hi Emily! Not done watching the video yet but about the “blocking out shapes is easier for me” while I do get it, it does make it harder to spot the mistakes in the basics shapes, so I’d suggest doing inicial lines on a light colour just to feel if the shapes are correct before blocking them! Think of it as drawings on a paper, you do the “messy lines” before settling on where the parts of your drawing go and then erase them, just like what you did on the tablet. I think it would be really beneficial for you since you normally say you made the shapes a little bit stretched or wider than it should be ☺️ Love your videos and your creativity! Off to watch the rest of it ❤
They look super great! I love how you decided to do something totally different than what I typically see as far as character art. I also just adore how supportive David is when you show him your nails. I do that here, I’m excited about how good something came out and I don’t get that type of reaction, I get yea or I don’t have my glasses, or they are long, nothing that would in courage me to try something else. 😮😢 anyway… Some of the nail art I want to try is going to have to have some gel that glides on like that black! I love mini painting but this is tiny painting. I can’t afford Devs so I’m going to have to think about this some. 🤨🧐🤓 Loved watching!💞💞
Those came out crazy good. My fav is the chicken and the ball of fire. Ridiculously cute!! Might need those hollo jelly’s.
I love nailz by dev products they’re a game changer for any level of nails you’re at!
Your so talented and I love your love with David and truly proud he is of you.
