$300 Zillabeau Haul 🛒📦💕 - More Korean Gel Polishes

[@Firesignnaildesign]

A fellow nailtuber thedevilwearspressons has a couple videos about her fav Korean skincare products! She’s nerdy about 2 things: nails and skin care. I’m so glad you’re able to slowly expand your luxury Korean/Japanese nail product collection! ❤

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Yes, I love her! I actually tagged her in the description because I know she has a code for Zillabeau that people can use 🥰 I'm excited and super grateful to be able to expand as well, and I appreciate you watching as always, Brei 🩷 Love the new logo by the way! Are you planning on posting nails soon? I just subbed 😊

[@Firesignnaildesign]

@@GetPressedNailsByC oh my bad, I didn’t even read your description! Thanks for noticing my logo! I am slowly but surely trying to get my own press-on business going. I would love to join ya’ll on the nailtubing scene at some point, but I have a lot to teach myself first…I’ve never edited a video before. So..we will see! 💕

[@Erica_In_AmERICA]

​@@Firesignnaildesignsounds like we are on the same page.. Lol. I've been wanting to start my channel but I have no clue how to edit videos and stuff.. Plus, there are still some things I need before I can get started.. I don't have any good polishes yet, just some of those pain in the butt tiny bottles that you get in the sets off Amazon... I hate those tiny bottles.. Lol. I wish you good luck and success with you're channel.. ❤❤I'll be keeping a lookout for your videos. 😊😊

[@Firesignnaildesign]

@@Erica_In_AmERICA thanks! And same to you! I started a few years ago with those sets of smaller bottles from Amazon- there’s nothing wrong with them and it’s a great way to build a nice little range of products and colors while you’re teaching yourself about nail art! For me, I wasn’t sure how much I was gonna like it at first, so I didn’t want to spend a bunch of money on product…as we know nail products are spendy and there are sooo many things that go into it like tips, charms, stickers, gels, lights, efiles, etc. I wish you all the best with your nail/video journey and I’ll be watching for you as well! 💕

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Aw well I wish you all the best with the press on business! I don't know if you watch them, but both Nailsslayedbyval and I think it's Miniami really helped me start mine. The editing is definitely a process to learn, but I highly recommend CapCut for beginners! Excited for you 😁

[@Shishmish6]

Looking forward to that favorites video! I love seeing what people love to use and why 😁 great video, as always!!

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Me too! It's also giving me an excuse to try a bunch of things to find the best ones for you all 😅

[@Mynameis_jonique]

So excited to see the incredible designs you’ll make!

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Aw thank you, Jonique! I appreciate you watching as always, lovely 🥰

[@RobinPreece-lg5lk]

Love the Gel Monsta colors. I might have to try it. Love the green.

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

The consistency is honestly so nice! Definitely on the thicker side, but that's because they are super pigmented 👌

[@Erica_In_AmERICA]

I love the brushes with the caps too.. I only have a few cheaper ones from Temu but i still love them. Lol. I love watching your videos... Your voice is so soft and soothing.. And not to mention your MAD skills with a nail brush! Lol. ❤❤❤ ive been wanting to try that crazy top so bad!!! Ive heard so many people talk abt how amazing it is..

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Brushes with caps are so nice! I've accidentally cured gel on too many without 🥲 And thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate the comments and support 🥰 Crazy Top really is one of the best for 3D swirls in my opinion. It's just so nice that it's non-wipe. There are more options for that now, but before you had to top coat most thick gels.

[@ashleytung3327]

excited to see how the Jello Jello Edge Clear Gel compares to the Diami Powder gel for chrome!!

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

I haven't done a comparison yet, but maybe I can post a short when I do! Just from my initial unboxing, they seem pretty similar. The Jello Jello may just be ever so slightly thicker. Thanks for watching 🥰

[@PrettyNailsByValerie]

I purchased the Riposo pulling jellybean magnetic set and it is GORGEOUS! Even without magetizing it, the collection is beautiful.

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

I was eyeing that collection too! I just got the DVOK New Moon set though, so I didn't buy it yet, but it looks absolutely stunning. They really have some nice mag gels. Thanks for watching, Valerie 🥰

[@LydiaKrow]

So you've asked a former esthetician for advice on skin care. 😎 LOL! This is something I can easily nerd out about, so apologizes in advance for my novel. So, I don't have any Korean skin care recommends. I've tried several, but when it comes to efficacy at a good price, my go-to brand is Prequel. It's by a "celebrity derm" but he products are really sound. I think it's mail order only right now. If you are combo dry, you should do a gentle wash, hydrating serum, and finishing moisturizer. You can get a toner or a hydrosol if you want a slip cleanser in the morning, but it's not necessary. Only wash, serum, and moisturize your face at night (ideally at least an hour before bed so it soaks into your top skin layer to help with barrier control) and then rinse with water in the morning and apply a light moisturizer or sunscreen. In fact, if you use zinc sunscreen I would just apply this as your moisturizer as the zinc is good for barrier control. Unless you have hyperpigmentation or acne I wouldn't recommend any actives. If you are interested, I can recommend three things specifically from Prequel, otherwise you want to look for a milky, oil, or gel cleanser with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or sodium hyaluronate and something simple like ceramides. For a serum, go for pure hydration, so those two hyaluronics again. Moisturizer: oil/water emulsion med to thick weight, it literally doesn't matter what is in this as long as it's a good formulation, but if you can pump it then do that as a pot moisturizer shortens shelf life and increases chance of bacteria transfer. Now for a "treat yo'self" get some korean paper masks, those are excellent and usually really gentle. A lot of masks you get have all kinds of crap in there to try to do something whereas the Korean paper mask fomulations mostly understand that you are trying to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Some have aloe or seaweed that are good when your skin is inflamed, though. There's a brand called Celavi on Amazon I like a lot that falls into this category and is reasonably priced. I would not do a physical exfoliant unless you want an aspirin masks (unoated aspirin and a few drops of water to make a paste). Or, you can do an enzyme mask like once a month, something with plant/fruit enzymes - they do a good job of softening only the dead skin that is already trying to come off, and gives you a nice smooth texture. BTW I absolutely love F-Gel! I have a magnetic from them that is my favortie, they have so much depth since some of the particles are meant not to move so you get this lovely full coverage.

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

As an English teacher, I do love novels 😅 But no, I do really appreciate the advice, Lydia! I currently use a hyaluronic acid moisturizer in the morning, then a hyaluronic acid+peptide serum at night with a Curology formula. Do you have any experience with Curology? I do have acne prone skin that results in hyperpigmentation if I get a pimple that's cystic, and I feel like it has helped, but it has been getting more expensive 🥲 I'd love to hear your suggestions for Prequel--I'll check them out! And yes, the F Gel magnetic gels were so sparkly 😍 Absolutely love the blue I got!

[@LydiaKrow]

@@GetPressedNailsByC I don't think I've heard of Curology, and their website doesn't show ingredients unless you become part of their program. A bit of a red flag, but perhaps it is a genuine referral after skin analysis, so I won't assume. That said, cystic acne usually has a hormonal/internal component. It's like psoriasis or eczema - you can treat flare ups topically, but you usually treat the overall condition by reducing the stimulus and/or taking something internally. OTC there are very few things that actually treat/prevent cystic acne. Peptides are fine, but are more about reducing signs of skin aging than lasting change. You might do well with something that has salicylic acid, especially if you are prone to heat causing issues. At first, I would try for gentle and hydrating, and the only thing I would switch up is making sure your moisturizer is non-occlusive. I should mention that I was attracted to Prequel initially due to being rosacea friendly (I have rosacea). My boyfriend uses some of their stuff for eczema. If you want to try Prequel specifically their cleanser is called "Gleanser" (gel cleanser), the serum is "multi-quench" (you could also try Lucent=C if you don't have any issues with vitamin C) and you might want to try their "Barrier Therapy" skin cream as your moisturizer because it's good for night time and daytime so if you are dry during the day you can use this and it's not heavy. I used this for a while before switching to their Urea cream, and my BF still uses this because he likes how it absorbs and doesn't feel greasy - you can use on face and body. Oh and I really love their sun screen, as well - very creamy, goes on nice and does not settle into dry patches. I have sensitive skin and I've had no issues with it. This was super long again (lol) but maybe helpful? I noticed they are having a Labor Day sale so I am going to pick up a few things too. :D

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Thank you so much for the info, Lydia! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge 🥰 I do think my current Curology formula helps, they've just upped the price, which is a bummer. I do have a cleanser with salicylic acid that I use on occasion, and my acne luckily has gotten much better with age. Now it's just an occasional pimple or cystic around my cycle. I'll check out Prequel, though, because I do need a nice sunscreen! Thanks for chatting with me as always, lovely ❤️

[@LydiaKrow]

@@GetPressedNailsByC Always a pleasure!

[@Quartzcoffin]

The Pokemon type cards have me wanting all the colors just to collect those 😂

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

The Gel Monsta gels may be the only polishes my boyfriend has genuinely been excited for 😂 Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@Zillabeau]

such a fun haul!

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Thank you so much! Love all of your products 🥰

[@latishawarren8841]

Great haul ❤

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Thanks for watching, Latisha 😊❤️

[@naenaesnailnook]

6:31 Brushes with lids are such a game changer! They keep well for quite a while. P.S. These are also very cute! ❤

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Agreed! I don't really buy brushes without lids anymore, because I know I'll accidentally leave it in front of an open window or something and it will cure. Plus storing them is so much easier!

[@naenaesnailnook]

Very beautiful gel polishes and colors! I haven't took the leap of faith to purchase from these brands, but I'm sure I will here soon. Everyone raves about them and I can't wait to try them. I'll keep an eye out for the giveaway and a chance to win some. Thank you for sharing! 🥰

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Thanks for watching, Nae 🥰 Be careful because now I'm hooked 😅 I just love the look of syrup gels, and the Korean and Japanese brands are doing it best right now.

[@naviweaver2500]

I just started doing my own nails and honestly love your videos

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

You're comment honestly makes me so happy ❤️ Glad my videos could be helpful as you get started 🥰 I learned so much from watching nail KZbinrs myself!

[@mellee1115]

Good to know that it is 'Zilla-bew' as when I thought it was using the French pronunciation of the word beau.(Which made sense when the shop was in Canada but now that is no longer the case!)

[@MiyaniAburame]

I pronounced it like this too! Also from Canada 😂

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

I also started with the French pronunciation, then corrected to boo like I'd heard some say, before finally landing on bew when I saw a live and heard someone from the company pronounce it 😅 it's been a journey! Thank you for watching though 🥰

[@amandaann3272]

I have the BB uruuru sheets. I’d love to see videos! I struggle trying to use these types of items. But I think you mean Aurora not aura. The aura is just the blush nails. You’ll have an amazing giveaway! I’ve recently just started to purchase Korean / Japanese gels. They’re so expensive so I’m making myself wait for sales. I just bought the Kokoist /NT’s and they’re really nice!

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Yes, aurora sheets! Editing late at night 😅 I want to use them soon with the New Moon Collection to do like a celestial themed look! We'll see if the design turns out in the end. It will be my first time working with them, too, so I may struggle. These products are expensive for sure, but I just find myself reaching for them more and more because of the ease of use with higher quality products. And I'm super grateful I'm able to fit them in my budget, as I know it's not necessarily an option for everyone! Nails are my main hobby, so I splurge when I can 😆 Thank you so much for watching! 🥰

[@Pebbles_32]

At 19:26 you mention the blue and yellow mashing together and sort of canceling the color out cause it was opposite. Idk if you know color theory (and this isn’t mean to be like a snarky comment I promise) but orange is the opposite color of Blue! So the opposite color of yellow is actually purple, so if you were to use a purple color, the yellow might darken/dull the color because opposite colors “cancel” out each other! I’m a bit of a color theory nerd, and I could honestly go on and on about it. I also am a licensed cosmetologist, and I took AP Art in high school so this is just stuff I know from there and doing my own research. I absolutely adore your content and I’m excited to watch more!! ❤❤

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Oh gosh, no, thank you for the comment! ❤️ I definitely meant to clarify that when I said blue is kind of the opposite it's one color off! I think because that gel cures almost an amber yellow, it's really apparent over blue. I absolutely love all things color theory too 🥰 A big part of why I got into nail art is because I missed my days of traditional art! I don't know if you use it or want to, but I do have a Discord linked in my description where a bunch of us chat nail designs and products! I just wanted a place for artists to connect and nerd out over their passions for all things nails and design 🥰 I'm sure input from a licensed tech would be helpful too as I'm just a hobbiest whose done her own research. Thank you so much for watching, and welcome to the community! 🎉

[@Abby_Gutierrez]

I have been watching your videos for a while now and honestly, you are definitely one of my favorite nail KZbinrs to watch when it comes to nail designs ideas and hauls ( love watching nail hauls 😅) but realized I never subscribed to you so, you got a new sub 😊. I’ve been on a lookout for new brushed, I’ve been using my Amazon brushed I brought 3 years ago and recently brought the mayo liner brushes and I’ve been loving it and realized the importance of good quality brushes so, I’ve been hunting for new brushes, any recommendations.

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Aw thank you so much, Abby! I'll admit it still feels strange calling myself a nail KZbinr 😅 but all of the support makes me happy I started! For brushes, I absolutely love the Mayo Square Piano brush for potted gels or glitter application. It is just so soft! Then that long liner from Leafgel is my favorite skinny liner brush. The Diami short liner is amazing for tiny details, and the Leafgel short liner is similar but ever so slightly thicker. Hope that helps!

[@amandaadams1816]

I just did a zillabeau order I have to carts on accident and I went and did my order and it was the wrong one 😢 I was so sad because I had 2 of the monsta Gels in my cart so sad. I can't afford another order, and I can't return what I don't want, so I'm a bit stuck. Seeing these polishes makes me need them even more, lol. Always love your hauls.

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Oh no! 🙁 Has it shipped already? You might try emailing them to see if you can cancel if it hasn't. I did that once unfortunately too and ended up with some duplicates. Now I've made a wishlist of all the products I want to get so I can check them off and double check my cart each time 😅 Sorry to hear that, though, that's a bummer!

[@IsmsbyJosie]

Nice haul!!! 💚 Oh my gosh!!! I am going to get those Gel Monstas! My hubby has a trading card channel so it'd be cool to have trading cards for gels 😅 you should be an affiliate with Zillabeau!

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

The Gelmonsta gels were definitely my boyfriends favorite out of all of the products I've purchased because of the cards! It's such a fun concept 😍 Though I am hoping they come out with other greens, because the original green set is a little limited. I'd love to be an affiliate with Zillabeau! Next time they have openings, I'm definitely applying 😊

[@LeAnetteArtis_SpoiltBeauty]

Thanks for sharing!

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Thank you for watching, Leanette 🥰

[@taterbubba-ed9jr]

Loved the vid! I'm super tempted to get a few Gel Monsta shades but I've read some reviews online that some people weren't inpressed w/it considering it's a korean made gel too :( would you recommend it over other kgel brands like Fgel, valla, etc?

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Thank you so much for watching 🥰 I haven't done a full wear test on the Gel Monsta colors for it's staying power, but in terms of application and coverage, I really liked them! I don't often use opaque creme colors to be honest, which is why I got some of the Gel Monsta colors to try. Sorry, I can't be more of a help there 😔 I have heard great things about FGel's color line though!

[@taterbubba-ed9jr]

[@christinad2547]

Are the sheets thick or thin?

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

The sheets are pretty thick! They're meant for the aura nail look where you cut out a small piece to encapsulate 🥰

[@amandaann3272]

Kokoist is about to have 20% off on the 1st. Or that’s what IG said! Not sure if you like the brand but I’m about to get me some Nail Thoughts! Great haul as usual 🫶 You can also cut some of the hairs off the brushes with too much hair!

[@GetPressedNailsByC]

Oooh thank you for letting me know, Amanda! I don't have a ton of experience with Kokoist polishes, but I have heard good things. Do you have a favorite collection?
