I have several of the same polishes as you in the brands OPI, Essie and China Glaze. I really like the picture of Mermaid Tears that you took in front of that delicious looking drink. It’s very artistic. 💅☕️

Love seeing what is on your Fall Nail Polish rack! I have OPI Feel the Chemis-tree, Essie Sweater Weather, and China Glaze Cabin Fever. I'll put Chemis-tree and Sweater Weather on my polish rack; I haven't worn Cabin Fever yet. I tend to choose too many polishes, lol, but will try to limit them this year. I love your selections organized by color; it looks so pretty! Have a nice weekend and TFS! 😊💅

It's great to hit pan on those eyeshadows! I like the random selection of choosing new colors; the new color palette is very nice and not to have two greys that look the same. It's also nice to switch it up after using the same palettes for nine months. Have an amazing rest of your day and TFS!

Beautiful!❤

I like seeing not only your progress but your manis using the project polishes too. The polish you're wearing is beautiful. Beautiful polishes and nice progress! Have a wonderful day! TFS! 😊

The Depend nail care kit is really nice and is so useful. I have not tried the OPI nail polish thinner; I am using the one from Sally Beauty Supply and it seems to work ok. You bought a lot of nice products for nail care and beauty. Your nails are looking really pretty. I've been buying a few polishes here and there for really cheap since I have coupons. It's good to not buy so many and I need to follow my own advice, lol! TFS and take care!

I have the OPI polish thinner and like it. I’ve been buying fewer polishes too. Since April I’ve only bought one! I’m still doing my project polish, and am getting ready to roll in my fall shades. Look forward to seeing your autumn nail polish rack!

You talked about so many important points in your ideo. No one should be shamed for their weight or for any reason. I wonder if people think about how they would feel in someone else's situation. I appreciate you sharing your personal story; it may help someone going through the same or similar situation, and bring attention to those who may not realize or understand how stress put on our bodies affects us differently and how we try to handle it. I wish you all the best on your weight journey. Take care! ❤

It's awful when your doctor doesn't have the compassion to actually not only hear you, but to listen and have empathy. I hope that you do what you know is best and hang in there; don't give up and stay as positive as you can. Take care

I enjoy these chit-chatty life update types of vid's!!! I'm truly sorry for everything you have gone through.. I have been too, for years. I listened to the end and even rewinded to find out what your prognosis ended up being... forgive me if you mentioned it and I missed it but you would please respond to this because I am curious =-)

So many doctors really do not listen to their patients anymore.

I'm so happy summer is here! You have so many beautiful summer polishes! I love neons and other bright colors for summer. Some of my favorites is China Glaze Pool Party and polishes from Salon Perfects Dippin' Dots collection. I love your cheetah mani and the spring mani with the French tip in pastel colors-- they are so beautiful and I can't wait to see your summer manis. TFS!

I have three of the same polishes as you: China Glaze’s Plurple, Too Yacht to Handle and Moment in the Sunset. II have other neons than you from CG, Color Club, and Orly. Are you a fan of pastel neons? I actually love them more than the non-pastel ones. I’ve got pastel neons from Color Club, Sinful Colors, and Pure Ice. Happy Summer! ☀️🌷

YES!! I can't wait to see what you pick for summer. Those China Glaze you brought in are so pretty. Oh that Orly glitter 🤩

I have the Blushed Nudes and I don't really like it 😞 It's ok, but for Nyx and Elf are so much better at a similar, if not lower, price point.

Here is update 3 and my cumulative totals for Jan-April: Polishes - China Glaze Lavenduh!: 4 uses - Essie Bon Boy-age: 3 uses - Essie Mind-full Mediation: 4 uses - Essie Toned Down: 3 uses - OPI I São Paulo Over There: 2 uses Top Coats - Sally Hansen Big Shimmer: 1 use - Sally Hansen Big Matte: 3 uses Topper - China Glaze Wildflower Hour: 5 uses I’m pretty happy with how many times I wore these polishes in the past 4 months, but am ready to set them aside for brighter spring and summer colors. I am doing a refresh for May-August. I’m sure your looking forward to getting out in your garden, 🌷 Hope you’ll do a summer polish rack video. See you in update #4! Currently on my nails- Essie’s All Daisy Long

I love to see that you're getting the most use from your polishes. Your manis are so beautiful! Great idea to use a light base for negative space manis. I love the long days of summer as long as it isn't too hot or humid. 🌅

Beautiful manis & beautiful nails. Your weather sounds like mine. Craving summer weather!😮‍💨

I was analyzing your youtube channel and are you struggling with subscribers and video views for monetization? I can help you grow your KZbin channel. Do you want to increase your SEO score? I am waiting for your response.

I am empathetic in what you're going through. It is no fun when there are things you want to do, but can't, especially when it's due to health reasons. When you are in pain it pretty much incapacitates you to the point that you can hardly do anything. It's like asking someone to walk when their feet are swollen and blistered. People should be more understanding and I pray that the doctors and medical researchers can find a cure for what you have. I'm glad that you have people that care about you and are working to help you, God bless them. And I'm glad your paperwork was accepted for your retirement! Take care as best you can, do what you feel comfortable doing, and God bless you, Mirja. You can update us as much as you would like on your healing journey. TFS!❤

cute haul!!! ;0) I'm sorry for what you've been through, both the pain & not being heard (((HUGS))) I'm oveerjoyed to hear that people have come into your life to help you!!! Anddd, Huge Congrat's on winning!!! I can relate to your situation. I have a lot of pain too, and am waiting for a determiination, living in constant pain is no way to live..... I would enjoy hearing what your plans are for your future!!! =-)

Here is my Project Polish Update #2 for March- I used each of my 5 project polishes 1 time each. I didn’t use either of my topcoats. I used my topper twice. I’m making good progress on my project polishes, but am looking forward to May when I’ll be refreshing my project with brighter colors. Currently on my nails- nothing I broke a couple of nails, so I shortened them all. I will be painting them tomorrow with project polish Essie Toned Down. See you for Update #3!

I love seeing that you did a spring rack. I have CG Boho Blues, Dance Baby, OPI That's Hila-rious and my fave from your selection is Lotus Begin, which I have, but sadly, it changed to a grey color. All the polishes on the rack are so beautiful to look at. TFS!

I own three of the same polishes as you: OPI’s That’s Hula-rious and Gelato On My Mind and China Glaze’s At Vase Value. Have you bought any new spring 2024 polishes? I got six from OPI’s Your Way spring 2024 collection, but that’s it. I’m really trying to not buy a lot, but it’s hard! Hope you’ve been able to get out in your garden!! 🌷

Love this new topic on your YT. My fave is the coral ILNP but all the small yellows will be so pretty too. Do you plan an end of the season video, what you wore out of these? Also hoping to see a summer rack too and all the seasons. Love seeing everyone's choices. Thank you for the video!

I don’t own any of those palettes, but would use shadows from the NYX and Maybelline ones the most. Keep up the good work!

You have a lot of palettes and I'm sure you know which shades are in each palette. It is fun to see how much progress you make on your videos, especially when you use up the shades. All your palettes have such nice cases; I love the ones with the designs like the Bon Jovi palette. Great update! TFS!

I Ike seasonal project pans like “10 by Summer” and your “Summer Lovin’ series. As a nail polish lover. I’d enjoy seeing updated 2024 versions of “My Summer/My Fall/My Holiday Nail Polish Picks.” I left spring out because you did that one last year. It’s always fun to see everyone’s picks. I also like “Rolling 10 Pan.” I look forward to whatever you decide to do!

Here is my Update 1 for January-February: -Lavenduh!: 2 manis -Mind-full Meditation: 2 manis -Bon Boy-age: 1 mani -Toned Down: 1 mani -I São Paulo: 1 mani -Topper Wildflower Hour: used on 2 manis Top Coats Big Matte and Big Shimmer: each used on 1 mani I want to use my polishes at least 5 times each for a total of 25 manicures. The top coats and topper I want to use at least 6 times each. Currently on my nails- China Glaze Highlight of My Summer I look forward to your 2nd Update!!

Hi Mirja! I’m new to your channel. I have been doing a skincare project pan for a couple of years now and this year wanted to add another project pan. After collecting polishes for about ten years, I decided that I really need to start using the polishes I own and stop buying so many new ones. I found your Project Polish videos to be motivating, which is why I subscribed to your channel! I’m still figuring out how I exactly want to do my Project Polish, but for now have picked 5 polishes that are five years or older in my collection, which I’ll wear for the majority of the year. I’ll switch polishes out for summer and holiday cuz I need my bright neons and shimmers!! I’m also focusing on two top coats and one topper. The rest of the time I want to enjoy my new polishes. Polishes - China Glaze Lavenduh! - Essie Bon Boy-age - Essie Mind-full Mediation - Essie Toned Down - OPI I São Paulo Over There Top Coats - Sally Hansen Big Shimmer - Sally Hansen Big Matte Topper - China Glaze Wildflower Hour I will post my progress under your updates.

Great job finishing up most of the products! I love any pans you do and the rolling pans are great because you can roll new ones in when you want to wear something new or get tired of wearing the same colors. Have a nice weekend and TFS!

Happy Saturday! You have some wonderful products! I love the polishes, of course, and your mani is beautiful! I love hand creams and I can imagine the mango hand cream and body scrub must smell devine. The box is super cute too. Enjoy all those new goodies and TFS! ❤

Beautiful polishes! Enjoy!❤

It's nice to buy something new for yourself. The polishes are very pretty and I love the ILNP brand, especially when it has glitters. Pure Ice brand used to be sold at Walmart in the states but I haven't seen them in a few years. That is a beautiful shade and looks like it would be good as a topper. Enjoy wearing your new polishes and take care! 💅❤

Happy you gifted yourself some pretty polishes!!! Thanks for sharing 💕

Nice first update and your mani using the Essie is beautiful! TFS and see you at the next update! 💅

You are off to an amazing start!!! Thsnks for sharing!!! =-)

You did a nice job on this video. Glad you're enjoying those purple polishes your friend sent you.

Thanks for sharing!!! I was feeling bad that I missed this vid last year.. thanks for clarifying that i didn't ;-) Have a Gr8 week

This is so cool to look back to 2023 to see how many polishes you wore and your favorite manis. I love all your manis and some of my favorites were the Essie with the blue glitters, the cheetah print, and the last purple polish, which I love! I wore lots of polishes last year, especially in summer, which is my favorite season minus the heat and humidity. 😂 Have a wonderful day! TFS!

Using the random picker sounds like a fun way to select the color, or you would maybe only wear the same ones you love most and the others would be neglected. The Vice palette case is beautiful and so are the shades. I like the colors the random picker chose for the palettes; very nice! I have one palette but hardly use it, only for special occasions, plus I'm always rubbing my eyes 😱 and my hands would be all kinds of pretty shades, haha! 😂Good luck with your project pans this year! TFS!

Wow, I never knew it took over 20 times to hit pan on the eyeshadows! That's an accomplishment! You did a great job! Take care! ❤

You have such a great patience with your project palette pans. Even though there were times you didn't wear the makeup, you did the right thing by resting, which is a priority. I'm glad to see your finale; enjoy your break! TFS!

The Nails Inc pink shade is so pretty and I can't wait to start wearing bright polishes again. I admire your project polish so much and enjoy seeing your progress. I'm sort of doing a whole project polish where I want to wear each polish in my collection at least once. But I really want to use up 8 mini bottles that I had for several years and are mostly untried. They have 5 ml of product so I will start this project polish Feb. 1 and hope I can stick to it. I have the Sally Hansen Triple Shine Fanta-Sea and Sparks Fly; those are so pretty and you're making great progress. TFS and good luck on Project Polish 2024!! 👍❤☺

These are great conclusions. I remember years ago you did monthly makeup basket videos. Did you find yourself using more or less products you wanted to use when you did that?

Looking forward to seeing how you do this year!!! Have a Blessed wkend =-)

Hi Mirja and Happy New Year! You are so amazing to have not purchased any nail polish in 2023! I would love to make that a goal but I plan to keep track of any nail products I buy this year and try to stay on a very low buy. Maybe get something for my birthday. For you to finish six polishes is wonderful! I admire your discipline and dedication to your project polish. It's nice that you were able to do other things you enjoy with your money than buying polish. I'll be watching your updates this year! Take good care and have a wonderful new year! ❤💅❤🎉

I was hoping you would be dropping this vid for us all!!! First, I have to say I absolutley LOVE your New Year's mani, and wish for you a new year full of happiness, good health & prosperity!!! Second, you did a phenomenal job on your whole project nail polish for the year even though you only did a few mani's a month!!! Anddd... just WoW at sticking to your low buy!!! You beat EVERYONE who has tried doing a low buy! LOL

Wow you're almost done with the bronzer! And to finish five products is really good! Keep it going! 👍

Hope all is well, Mirja! I haven't seen my notifications lately so I'm glad I checked your channel. That is a great idea to reduce the number of palettes and just use a few. That way you can use more shades in a shorter period of time. Take good care and TFS!
