HUGE Cirque Nail Polish Swatch and Review & Advent Calendar Unboxing! || KELLI MARISSA

[@Hooverpixie24]

Honestly, I own over 300 bottles of polish. I’m obsessed with doing my own nails. Cirque, and ILNP are my absolute favorites. The colors, price, and quality have NEVER switched up!!! I’m obsessed.

[@lesleyegbert4807]

Rothko Red is one of my faves...I'm wearing it right now! Probably the most sophisticated-looking thermal on the market, especially on nails with a little length. Strongly recommend! I also love Prima Donna as it is grown-up and subtle. If I had to choose only one nail polish brand to wear for the rest of my life, it would be Cirque. They offer just the right blend of adventure and elegance. *chef's kiss*

[@kadeschaos]

Same! And their top coat is amazing, I've always had problems with nail polish drying super slow on my nails, but Cirque dries down so fast and the top coat makes my polish so solid!

[@Manicentric]

And just like that, October budget is blown. Thank you for the gorgeous swatches!

[@nataliemoon1512]

Took me way too long to notice that Kelli's eye make up perfectly matches the advent box. Beautiful look!

[@claudia8861]

Best answer to the fun fact ever. Sloths are awesome!! A few years ago I made a trip to Costa Rica where I was able to see plenty of sloths in the wild. They are very abundant over there . I even saw a few anging on branches, holding their babies, during the road trip. Your answer brought happy memories to my mind. Thanks for the nice review, Kelli!

[@redburningfires]

I think I would be a glass blowing artist for a day, I get mesmerized watching glass blowing. They make incredible creations.

[@its_me_jen_jen9204]

I am enraptured by glass blowing. Have you seen the Dale Chihuly documentary from PBS? I believe it’s here on KZbin and it’s fascinating.

[@solongsarita]

A 20+ minute vid from Kelli is all I need

[@KelliMarissa]

😄 I hope you enjoy it!!!

[@gypsydonovan]

Astronaut. No question. Spend that day off planet.

[@kellyestrada2456]

Never apologize for being excited about the colors!!!

[@yaltazhu9683]

I really love how you explain what each terms are and keep us posted about spoilers! Thank you. Kelli!

[@Ray-chan]

WARNING: the image of the advent calendar on the cirque store has a foto with ALL polishes on display. so it's basically impossible to order it without getting spoiled. if you really don't want to know, you should ask a friend to order for you. i really don't understand what they are thinking.

[@erickaotterman5957]

Thanks for posting this.

[@jaybee7892]

My guess is that their intention is to make sure the buyer knows what they're paying for. The advent calendar is definitely designed as a gift item, so they're probably expecting most people to buy it for others, and want those people to know what products are going to be in it so that they know if it will be a good gift

[@KelliMarissa]

Good warning! Unfortunately I think it's a bit common to do that, whenever I buy an advent calendar I usually hold my hand up over my screen so I don't see the list of items or any pics 😅

[@heartandseoul1299]

Probably so people don’t end up hating what they do get if they don’t show it

[@LivyRivy]

@@jaybee7892 I personally would want to know what polishes I was getting before I spent the money, so I'm actually glad they did this.

[@shivali9474]

ooh yay a long swatch video! your videos are always so relaxing 🥰

[@KelliMarissa]

Ahh yay I hope you enjoy it!!

[@Clemonade23BX]

My obsession with cirque started when I binged your swatch videos during the pandemic lol. I got their advent calendar last year when they put it on sale, and I loved everything in it. This one looks so fun too, I think I have 3 of the shades already so I would have some repeats, but that's not gonna stop me from possibly purchasing it haha.

[@kadeschaos]

I have 2 of the shades so I am going to give them to friends! They would make such a cute small gift! My nail polish obsession started probably in June of this year, and I have spent so much money on Cirque, so excited for this advent calendar!!!

[@Clemonade23BX]

@@kadeschaos the mini bottles are so cute too, they would be perfect gifts! 💅

[@Letmetellu4842]

Where to buy them?

[@cassandramuller7337]

Gotta agree on Dusky Skies. Not only one of my favourite Cirque polishes but one of my overall favourites. It's just soooooooo good and beautiful and pretty.

[@KelliMarissa]

It really is so eye catching!!

[@cassandramuller7337]

@@KelliMarissa I recently paired it with High Society for the ultimate 80s look. My father first laughed really loud and then got emotional because the 80s were his teenage to young adult years and it still speaks to him. He's always annoyed that there aren't enough mainstream neon clothing options for men :P

[@Squeepsie]

Man, I love your hair! I would love to do something like that.

[@kadeschaos]

same! it looks so hard to maintain though! back when I died my hair I would just slather all my hair in the dye just to redye my green highlights as my hair is pretty much black, separating all of that hair to redye it seems so time consuming! wish I could do it though!

[@audrey926l]

Thinking the same!

[@countrygirl7402]

I would be a librarian. I love books. I love to read. So I would definitely do that. All those stories and worlds just a book a way.

[@bakeuplittlesuzy9518]

Eeee! You answered my question! And you gave the most fantastic answer ever! Thanks for another great video. I hope your sponsors appreciate you -- I'll basically buy anything you recommend. :)

[@triciag3311]

Omg I don't know why I've never bought any Cirque polishes but I have to get some of these. I am in love with so many of them!! I cracked up when you said Sloth Rehabilitation Center. I'm pretty sure that's the best answer to that question ever! I would also pick something to do with animals. I don't know what specifically is choose, but I love animals and I'd definitely want to work in a rescue or rehab for a day!

[@ashleynee9486]

THE VIDEO I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 😍😍😍

Ahhhh good timing!! Enjoy!!!

[@nluther22]

I love how excited you are for each of the polishes in the advent calendar. I may need to pick it up!

[@BeyondPolish]

Bowery is 🤤 The perfect fall color! There are so many great colors in this video. 🤩 Cirque Colors are amazing

[@Lilleyhammer]

I would definitely work at a bindery that still makes books the old fashioned way, unless of course you want to add time travel to the roster 🤣

[@lifeandrandomness1868]

Know I'm way late to this, but my "job for a day" would have to be astronaut on a space mission! Are you kidding me?? Getting to be in space seeing the cosmos up close?!? Yes, please!

[@katinadiep9268]

Cirque means circus in French. Sounds like see-r-k. The word "terroir" is used for foods made locally. Sounds like tare-ro-are. Actually, we rarely use it!

[@Ksvp87]

I already have 90% of this haul. I love cirque!! They're so great! Never get the calendar thing tho

[@KelliMarissa]

They really are great! And totally understandable if you already have the colors haha. I do think it's a great way to try new colors for people who are new to the brand!

[@SirCatsoverhumans]

Idk why or how but I almost 100% knew you were gonna say that answer at end 😂

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha!! I can't resist a sloth opportunity!!

[@susane370]

What are you wearing on your nails? Really liking that skittle mani.

[@MeruAyano]

Dusky Skies looks like a dupe of KBShimmer Dawn to Earth (great Halloween color [I'm currently wearing it]), Chroma Rose looks like a dupe of ILNP's Cameo Ultra Chrome, Succulent Garden (gonna have to get this one) looks like a more subtle/soft version of Emily de Molly's Riot of Shadows, REM looks like a more subtle dupe of KBShimmer's Cruise Control, if anyone doesn't like Cirque (dunno why you wouldn't) or wants to see a slight variation to some of the fancier polishes. Thanks for the vid again, Kelli! And, girl, I could not stop staring at your gorgeous hair! You did a spectacular dye job this time around. It was hard concentrating on what your were saying sometimes. lol. Can't wait to see the next vid! BTW, did you ever get into Color Club nail polish? They remind me of Cirque, but I don't think I've see you review them.

[@freethetomatoes]

I think I might actually partake in this advent calendar! Thank you for the review!

[@olgakansu1600]

I would work at NASA definitely! Love your videos ❤

[@Sonada345]

Love the long video! I just got some cirque for my bday thisbyear and LOVE them. Also, the holotaco gold flakie topper is an exact dupe for sunkissed if you run out!

[@jessicahege1074]

When Kelli did the swatch I was wondering how close it was to Holo Taco's gold flakie. Currently wearing the Holo Taco and was like it looks real similar.

[@JoshAtkinson]

I'm a ridiculous person for writing this, but if you ever do decide to make more ASMR videos you should totally shake these Cirque boxes. It's like everything they make works for ASMR.

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha I honestly agree with you, Cirque has amazing sounds in their products 😂 maybe that's why I like shaking the boxes so much!

[@d.on.in.a]

I would have never imagined I'd see someone mention how good a nail product SOUNDS 😂

[@nualas_nails]

I’m obsessed with all of these polishes! 😍

[@mossthebryophyter]

I think REM refers to the sleeping state of the sleep cycle because it gives off dream vibes if that makes sense

[@lillyjoyce4194]

That’s what I was thinking too!

[@Kleptocow]

Okay I laughed at your transitional joke 😆 love me a good pun.

[@swatch_me]

La Verne!❤️

[@SH-wk6po]

Oh yeesss Alter Ego!! I feel like there's probably enough black liner holos to do a video for your comparison series. I know they're not the easiest to formulate, so I'd definitely be curious to know which is actually the most easy to identify as a black liner holo. Cirque's Alter Ego, Holo Taco's Electrostatic, ILNP's Missed Calls, Starrily's Black Magic, KBShimmer's Stark Raven etc etc etc. ✨🖤 If I could do any job for a day (and be competent doing so), then I'd love to be a film director probably. I recently rewatched *"Predestination"* and I loved the behind the scenes documentary of how that film was made, and how you can do a lot with a tiny budget.

[@brucebrewster5767]

Succulent Garden is my favorite nail polish ever from any brand

[@rawcurls1]

Love this video, 2 years later in the future here. And what a great question from your viewwr! You gave a really unique and interesting response about working in a sloth rehab center! Mine would probably be an accomplished inventor. I am always thinking of solutions to problems but never get them off the ground.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh I love that idea! You can try to invent something as a hobby :)

[@donnaharvill8210]

I honestly don't know what I liked more. Watching you and your reaction while opening the Advent mini boxes! When you shook those boxes you brought some Very fond childhood Christmas Memories back! My mom would do some funny things with our packages so they would make weird noises when you shook them! Or if the item didn't come on time she might box up the picture in a weighted box or boxes within boxes! Lol It's funny how much I've started looking at some colors in a different perspective because of you! Mainly the so-called ugly pretty ones as you call them! So many of them I do like now, Thank you for that! 😺💅

[@janelleespinosa6247]

Wow, Bowery was so different than any other orange I have ever seen. Really beautiful cremes.

My mom always bugs me whenever I buy polish if I bought any for her, and now I have, the nice nude and pinky colors are right up her alley! excited for the reds for the holidays

[@theseinstrumentals]

Kelli, have you seen the too cute series episode with sloths? So adorable. You had the right idea with your answer, my only thought was the safest job I could make the most money in 24 hours in lol. But if we're talking spiritually I would love to be at a place like old friends senior dog sanctuary ❤️ I know they work hard and I appreciate them. I want to be with all those dogs lol. The fearless autumn collection was probably my favorite

They have such cool colors, but I wish the brush was better given the price. I’ve bought a few of their colors and would consider buying a really unique color/finish again, but any cremes are not worth it IMO. I wasn’t too impressed with the ones I have.

I hate it when brands do advent calendars and only put 12 to 15 days in it!

[@AlexaFaie]

I love the concept of putting embellishments on my nails but I've never worked out how to get them to stick because they always have a flat base which really doesn't work. How come they don't make the bases curved so they can sit on the nail properly? Because nails aren't flat, they're sort of C shaped so there's no area flat enough to get them to apply to. Are they only meant for use on fake nails which are often flatter? (I can't wear those either due to how flat they are compared to my nails). Its a shame because I got myself a whole load of little embellishments and can't use any of them because they're too large, too thick to bend to follow the curve of the nail and it makes me sad and confused about how others manage to get them to work. I guess I could put them on my toenails which have a more gentle curve but then I couldn't wear socks. LOL
