$170 vs. $9 Marble Gel Polish Kit

[@SereneASMRR]

I would suggest applying the blooming gel and add the color without marbling it yourself. Just place the color where you want and let it spread and marble in its own with no manipulation ❤

[@EmilySusanah]

That is best but also micromanaging it is so much more compelling 🤣

I absolutely love the beetles set. It’s like something I’d expect to see in a fairy forest.

[@volleyone22]

Although I really love the nail, I don’t think you’re supposed to make so many lines yourself. I think the uniqueness of marbling comes from simple strokes and letting the blooming gel do 90% of the work. They came out super cute, but it doesn’t feel like marble. Feels more like a water color vibe.

[@chelseawebb8461]

I always like adding white and black to my marble sets and that way there is some contrast. Those stiletto nails look so good on you!

[@emmaleeatwork]

Yes, please do more comparisons! The blue and green set remind me of a gemstone like labradorite (my fav!)

[@aeixaidbwhsaks]

hii, i dont normally comment but honestly i just wanted to say thank you for all the hardwork you put into these kinds of videos, and all your videos. you always make them the perfect length, with the perfect detail and quality its really amazing so thank you.

i know this is about nails but this hair color looks so lovely on emily and i need to point it out, something about the contrast between dark and the pink complements her skintone so well! she looks radiant .

check out compagnies who are specialize in quartz counters, they can make imitation of anything ang even make it more subtile. the bad thing about real marble it that water on it will stain it... so quartz is 100% safe with water anc more affordable! @@hal_jordan2814

[@ceciwolfcat7]

You never sound dumb! Those colors are all beautiful💅

[@princesschaos]

I love the dimension you got from doing multiple layers, especially on the first set. The second set is gorgeous but it also kinda looks like you got all stabby on somebody with a candy cane. 😂 Amazing work as always!

[@EmilySusanah]

🤣 that’s exactly what it looks like

[@D3lia_]

Girl you are glowing! Just love your looks lately a lot!! Great video as always ❤

[@lahserravite]

I'm gonna say I don't use gel polish so I don't quite understand what exactly blooming gel is supposed to look like but I think the beetles kit was so much better than the other one, am I crazy?? I think the spreading was much smoother and prettier and also I prefer the colours of that kit tbh hahah

[@cappuccinhoe]

i've seen a few videos here and there, and tbh, i didnt really like either of them aha BUT i do think the beetles one applied a little better. the second one looked more streaky? idk

[@luvrere5962]

I felt like the 170 was der better lol. you could just tell.

[@luvrere5962]

@@cappuccinhoe she said that in the vid. you can see the lines and its just more detailed

[@SaltySeed]

​@@luvrere5962I have the beetles one and it actually works amazingly well. No strong odors, easy to work with. The 170 set had thin blooming gel same as beetles? They both bled as pretty much every blooming gel does. The biggest difference in the kits is the beetles set sent regular gel polish and the 170 sent basically jelly gel polish. I have regular and jelly, jelly almost always looks better for bright colors in blooming gel. So less a question of better or worse and more a question of what is your end goal, color wise.

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

Ok, hear me out...the spiral nail makes me think of a starfish, like a brittle sea star! I think you could use this blooming gel to do a really cool sea life set, like can you imagine an octopus?! Love it!!🐙

[@sierram9573]

I was just trying to find something to make me smile and was about to watch one of your old videos when KZbin refreshed and told me you posted a new one!!! ❤

[@Curlyyfulll]

Yayyy you uploaded! I get toooo excited when you upload and it’s seriously something I look forward to ❤

[@barbjalcorn]

I definitely got Demagorgan vibes too. I’d be interested to see how the expensive colours did over the cheaper blooming gel? It absolutely looks like you get what you pay for. The Korean brand did exactly as their promo showed. I would love that set over the beetles any day. Great job 🇦🇺❤️

[@SarinaValentinaxo]

I got some of the DVOK colours and the base gel and it's the best money I've ever spent. they look amazing

[@shivanijoshi9252]

I love the dvok gel set! I know it’s expensive but I recently developed an allergy to hema so I really appreciate that the dvok set is Hema free haha 😊 you also don’t need to buy the entire set, you can buy the blooming gel and individual colors from sweetie nail supply 🥰

[@lilmeowmeow6784]

I really like both of the different designs you did. The blue and green one feels Elvish to me. It's so pretty. And the red ombre turned out so cool. That would make such a cool Halloween set.

[@bunnyjeans.]

omg! i was just about to put a video of yours to sleep! so happy to see you posted ❤

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

Ok, I'm very intrigued. I don't think I've ever seen a product work quite like that, where you can see the color trails and depth after blooming. I absolutely love my blooming gel from Wildflowers, but this stuff might be fun to try!

[@Tastykake83]

Everyone loves beetles but be careful everyone ❤ cuz their hema levels are THROUGH THE ROOF so the allergy risk is much higher with that brand. It's like that with alot of cheap gels..but it's worth noting. Be careful and as a nail tech I would only use on myself, never clients. No hate ❤ just a side note ❤

[@raleemay]

What’s hema?

[@Tastykake83]

@@raleemay an ingredient in many nail products. Higher levels or increased exposure can cause a lifelong painful allergy. Or even low levels can cause it in people sensitive or who already have the allergy. But anyone can develop the sensitivity, no matter what. Alot of higher end brands are hema free, or have much lower levels.

[@Tastykake83]

@@raleemay copied from Google... Chemically, it is classified as a hapten, which is a substance of low molecular weight. It means that when it comes into contact with the skin, it can easily penetrate its hydrolipidic barrier and cause irritation, rash or even painful blisters.

Remember when all of us were obsessed with eyeshadow palettes in 2015 and brands would release one after the other and we would all buy them? This reminds me of that. DVOK also came out with a december glitter series and honestly I think I have the same glitters from GlitterPlanet I can just dab on the nail in layers. It's the packaging that's beautiful but I feel like I'm getting overwhelmed with the amount of barely different color collections. I have a bunch of korean gels that have gone bad because I've bought too many collections and I can't use every color.. It's like the makeup palettes all over again, but now with nails. Don't get me wrong, we aren't forced to buy them but wow it sure is tempting!!

[@tianamae667]

I’ve used beetles gel polishes before and tbh they’re not ones I want to actively use it’s only in a “I don’t have this colour in any other set” capacity. They’re good thickness and lay on quite nicely but sometimes they don’t cure properly and I cannot figure out why. I try with different base and gels, beetles base and gels, cure for longer, thinner coats. And it’s never consistent in when it happens. I thought it was my lamp so I bought 2 different ones and still the same problem!

I think those things you and your husband were talking about, are called "Bloonz" or maybe "Baloonz"? I remember those things. They were in little tubes with a point inside of the top of the cap, to puncture the seal on each color. And then the little straws that were like needlepoint thin. 😂 I don't know how the makers thought it was going to be easy blowing those things up. I remember the lightheadedness that came along with trying to make a big one. Then if you finally succeeded at blowing a decent sized balloon, it would wrinkle and shrivel up so quickly. Ah, the memories. 😂
