[@alleluiaisoursong]

I was def expecting the application of a pudding gel to be way more satisfying and less streaky - you know, like the ads haha! 🤣 Thank you for showing us the reality!

[@MarlaKris]

Girl I was expecting the same 🙄

[@solarpony]

It probably has a lot to do with the brush too

[@promisesmithee943]

ISSA SCAM

[@eunicemiranda4243]

I tried another brand that is not cube but I couldn’t do the cuticle area. I do love to tried the modelones to see, thank you for share with us.

[@Notmetoob]

Are you going to blame it on product when you clearly see the split in the bristles causing the streaks.

[@edithelbourn7385]

They are so easy to paint with, I have been painting flowers all morning. Out lining with fine line’s is amazing.

[@MarlaKris]

That’s what I was thinking too!! They’re probs amazing for nail art!!

[@flohollingsworth7226]

I ordered the ModelOnes pudding, and I get it on Saturday. I can't wait to try it! Flooding my cuticles is an aggrivation for me, both with dip liquids and gels. gaargh!! Thanks for sharing your experience. I've watched a bunch of other youtubers use the puddings (I cheated)! And watching you do your first, virgin application is eye-opening. It's nice to know that not everyone is an expert on their first time out with a product!

[@MarlaKris]

Oh I’m def no expert!! Please report back and lmk how you like it!!💜

[@kellyhudspeth1736]

I do not like thick application of any of the products at the cuticle, so I place the brush tip away from the cuticle area and then push it toward the cuticle area rather than pulling it down the nail bed toward the tip. That prevents the ridging of product at the cuticle and sidewalls without diluting it. Marla, I think if you try that next time, kinda float the pudding (use brush technique like builder gel or hard gel) it might be less streaky and need fewer coats. It will be easier to move around than builder.

[@tammyscorner6]

Good morning, Marla!!! Thanks so much for trying these out!!! Cute as always. Love ya!

[@MarlaKris]

Good morning sunshine!! Thanks so much!! 💗

[@onewhisper22005]

They are! I actually just got the neon one a week ago and this video randomly showed up in my suggested so I figured I’d see what someone else thought of it! 😂 I definitely don’t think it’s best for full color on nails, but it’s perfect for nail art!

[@jessicarisner7813]

Yay! I'm so glad you used these! I have been wanting to try them and have been kind of scared to. Thank you for showing us!

[@k8tallison250]

So excited for this!! I don't have time to watch right now, ugh! But had to comment! I bought some pudding gels after so many people raved about them..... And I can't get them to work for me. No matter how thin I layer, it's just streaky. Now I can't wait for your review/take on them. I'll be back asap!

[@MarlaKris]

Oof.. they’re NOT easy at all! You’ll see later lol have an amazing day! 💗

[@operachef1]

I have 4 of these and have really only used them for painting a few times. Even so, I find my "paint" gels much better. I don't like them at all for normal full cover gel application, which I tried a few times and on practice hands. I find they don't self level well and I expected them to more opaque as well but I still needed 2 to 3 coats as usual. I really had high hope but I'm glad that others like them! Just not for me.

[@tinalouise6803]

I just ordered some gel pudding from a couple different companies. Trying this weekend and wanted to see what videos were out on youtube. They are a complete different consistency compared to gel polish so I myself wouldn't compare the 2. Will see how it all works out this weekend and see how they do with nail art as well. As always, love your videos!

[@MarlaKris]

My opinion has totally changed since this video!! I LOVE these gels now! Check out todays upload! It’s featuring the modelones cream gel again 💞

[@QueenofWards]

OMG!!! I just got some of these and I THOUGHT to myself let me watch a video. This was literally the first thing I saw when I opened KZbin. Thank You nail queen!!

[@MarlaKris]

Lol perfect timing!! How’d yours come out?? 💜

[@lindabennett712]

Thank you Marla for trying the Pudding gel, I was wondering about it. But I do love the Beetles Gel polish! they started my at home journey. Have a beautiful day!

[@laurasrn5067]

I just recently started using Vettsy pudding gel polish and I love it! I do have a habit of flooding the cuticles and I don't have that problem anymore.

[@MarlaKris]

I have to try the Vettsy one! 💜

[@Boujee_Nailz]

New subbie🥰 I love these pallettes. Such a space saver and I love the texture of them as well 💕

[@MarlaKris]

Hey sweets! Welcome to the family! ❤️

[@huniebon]

Wow! This is so different. It's like makeup for your nails. Cool!

[@joanncheesman1184]

You were spot on with your evaluation of the pudding gels. There is a learning curve but once you get the hang of it they go on smoothly. You definitely need 2-3 applications and the top coat seems to even the color out. The glitters are a little trickier to apply. You almost have to dab it on, cure for a brief second then pat down and finish curing. I used Maple Leaf and the colors are beautiful. I removed them after 2 weeks because of nail growth but they did not chip or peel. If you like trying new products this is certainly one to try. But my VERY VERY favorite gel polish is Beetles. Their polish goes on smoothly with great opacity and lasts. Their Christmas collection is a winner. Thanks for listening and for all your great videos.

[@maryyudys3561]

I have a question if that would be OK? I tried the pudding gel last night loved using them ( usually a dip user ) this seem faster and less work. Question removal, do I break the top coat and then use the acetone soak fir removal? Oh one other question, I used a dry brush Marla seems to be her brush wet with the pudding maybe cause for streaking? Thank you in advance ☺️

[@mariarobes4187]

That is a really pretty pink. I do have both Beetles and Modelones gel polishes, I do like them.

[@MonicaKatee]

It self levels so a tiny bit is sufficient! Perfect for newbs especially to stock their own kits to practice on instead of buying lots of individual bottles!

[@crystald3655]

I've found the cream polishes don't self level. The liquid gels do.

[@debbiemiller589]

I was debating on whether to buy the Modelones. I think I'll hold off for now. Thanks for the great video!

[@MarlaKris]

You’re so welcome! 💜

[@karol-sb6jn]

[@kimann7802]

Hi Marla 💖 I have never heard of this kind of product until now. Looks like I’ll be skipping it. Pudding sounds more like something I’d eat rather than a consistency to put on my nails 😂 plus I have so many dip powders and gels to use that I need to make space for more things later this year. However, I would ask if you have or can do a review of Saviland Builder Gel in their pots? I am curious as to what you’d think. Have a blessed day. Love you 😘

[@MarlaKris]

Lol I’d rather eat the pudding toooooo! I’ll look into the Saviland! Most builders are super similar tho.. I’d be curious if they’re HEMA free 🤔 thanks so much for being here, sweetness! Love and hugs! 💞

[@Mohawk-Tuah_Tribe]

I saw the coffee palette and knew...lol. I was kinda hoping for the sparkle color since they go on so differently. And maybe a dark color. I hope everything is going well for you and yours 💞!

[@MarlaKris]

Lol you know me too well 😂

[@gotitlikethat01]

I absolutely love mine. Did not wet the brush before application....just rolled it around in my hand to loosen the bristles. No streaking issues at all.

[@MarlaKris]

That’s awesome! 💕

[@nickyhowland2641]

I have used Modelones cream gel prior to watching this. Their brush cleaner makes a difference. I did only two coats with full coverage. I have also used Beetles for few years too. Both good options.

[@patriciahuddleston8857]

I have one of the pallets but haven’t used it yet. After watching I now know the do’s and don’t’s. Thanks.

[@MarlaKris]

You’re so welcome! Lmk how you like them!! ❤️

[@BebbaDubbs]

The color cube neons have been amazing! I dip the brush in base and it's so opaque. Also, the speed of ur brush affects the heat. I used LE Butter Creams for years so these are honestly better.

[@MarlaKris]

I keep hearing about the LE gels! I may have to grab some!

[@BebbaDubbs]

@@MarlaKris girl, they are AMAZING. The best quality I've ever used in my DIY yet OCD nail career! I still have a lot but stopped used hard gels a long time ago. However... Their new GEL POLISH is amazing! The Quick Detatch base coat w/some "Tack" on the free edge is an easy 2 weeks on even natural nails. But damn...they are pricey $

[@crystald3655]

These kinds of gels are great for not flooding the nail and such but they're hard to get smooth and soild. I have some cream gels from another company and it takes me 3-4coats to get solid coverage with all the colors cureing between each coat so I don't pick up or move the coat below. I sometimes have to buff the nails and apply another coat or two to get it smooth. A couple coats of top coat helps to smooth it also.

[@miawoodsmm]

Hi! 1st time on your channel, and the colors are beautiful 😍 you did a great job!

[@juicyparsons]

coooool!! these seem like gel paint pots. you did good I think layering them thin is key. the PACKAGING is the biggest advantage here I think

[@christinebrennan4484]

The light colors of the cream/pudding gels need three coats but only if using as polish. That being said, I am a huge Beetles fan. I am currently in a mani with one nail foiled that has now been on since Feb 15th that still looks like day 1...except for grow out. Beetles has an Amazing product when applied and cured properly.

[@sharonbechtel3880]

was going to order the pudding gels from modleone but so glad you made this video and I got to see it first.. It's ok... but Im not a fan of all the coats... I have used beetles gel polish and have a lot of them so I think I'll be sticking to that.... Thanks for saving me some money..

[@dawnharms8819]

Marla, thank you so much for trying out this creme polish in a video! I've been on the fence about buying some, but not quite sure how it applies and finishes on a nail. Now, if you can do a video on different colored poly gels and brands. Lol! Your channel Is amazing! I have learned so much since I've subscribed.

[@jemikabates9038]

You have to prime your brush with a clear/builder gel.. it makes the gel smooth without streaks..

[@Weeks25]

I’ve heard people say to use a small amount of base coat on your brush before applying the color an it won’t be so streaky. An one girl said warming the brush against the gel by going over it several times helps 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@MarlaKris]

I may give this one another shot.

[@kimberlyskinner8177]

Pretty choice! Haven't tried Pudding gel, don't see the purpose. Love Beetles though! 💓😘

[@MarlaKris]

Yeah I would probs say it’s a pass for me when there are so many other options available ❤️

[@TracyCampanella]

To use your phrase, Beetles gel polishes have my whole entire heart. Lol. As for these puddings, not sure I need them. If I got one, it'd probably strictly be a nail art thing. Hope you're well, Marla

[@MarlaKris]

Yep I agree.. great for nail art!! Meh for a full mani 💜

[@Vikki089]

I loved that Beatles pink shade!! I think it was the prettiest of them all 🤷🏼‍♀️ and I agree about the tan situation 😄 I live in Norway and if I'm lucky I get to have a tan maybe 3 months a year 😆 And whit a lighter pink shade, it's a trick to make my skin look a little bit more tan longer. Even in the winter months, 🥳🧐😄 Florida is one of my "need to go" places before dying 😇🌴 Sending love from Norway!!

Hi Marla, Another great tutorial. I am new at trying to do my own nails with dip powder. My nails are in terrible condition from going to salons. They are thin, weak, peeling and so short. Not even to the end of my fingers. I again have a question, with my nails in such terrible shape which would be better to help get them growing out. Dip or gel. It will take forever to grow them but I want my nails back. They used to be beautiful. Never should of started going to salon. Any advice on getting them grown out? I do want to say, I have been watching quite a few tutorials, trying to get ideas and yours are the absolute best. Your tutorials are great and very informative for products. For the tutorial you just did, I loved the beatle polish, then the pudding, I did not care for the gel. It looked too thick. Please keep your tutorials coming, I need all the help I can get and yours are the best! Thank you

[@MarlaKris]

Hey love! I’ve been there.. I’m sure most of us have! The key to growing out your nails are 1- time and 2- don’t break them. Lots of cuticle oil helps too. Here’s my best advice.. dip your nails. Keep that on as long as you can (as long as there’s no lifting). Remove safely and dip again. If you keep a set on for 2 weeks at a time, depending on your growth rate, you should have new nails in a few months! Just takes patience, darlin. But you’ll get there! Thank you so much for your kindness 💞 you make my heart smile 🥰

[@nakeasimone13]

Gel pudding is a trend in Japan and I think Modelones is trying to jump on the bandwagon with gel puddling polish but when I saw another Japanese nail tech use it was a Japanese brand and it wasn’t streaky at all!!! It went on like butter!!

I have been collecting and using buttercreams by light elegance for about a year, which I’m pretty sure these were made to be like? I love the buttercreams..I always cure my first coat (if there are any flaws or streaks), and buff them out before putting 2nd coat..I did buy these to see how they compare though..the buttercreams are very pricey

[@laurawarnock7959]

Hi Marla! I tried the Modelones pudding gel and they turned out lumpy/bumpy after curing. My base coat (Adrade) cured fine, I applied a thin coat and it did not cure smooth. Some nails did while other did not. Same with next two coats. I did three thin coats so it wasn’t too opaque. Any suggestions? This is the second time I’ve used and didn’t have an issue last time, but last time I used the Maniboss Base /Top gel. I’ve not has this issue with regular gel polish. Any help is appreciated. I really love the colors! Thanks!

[@MarlaKris]

Hmm.. any way you can send pics on insta or email?

[@laurawarnock7959]

Unfortunately I buffed out the bumps as much as I could and covered with a couple of layers of clear gel, but if it happens again I’ll take photos. By the way, I bought the Gelish Top coat and it is amazing! Thanks for the recommendation! Appreciate you getting back to me. Perhaps someone else has had the same issue? I’ll keep my eyes open. Try a different base coat. They do recommend using the Modelones base coat. Maybe cure base coat longer? It went on smoothly but became bumpy after curing.

Wow those are amazing nail beds, I think they are the longest I've ever seen I feel so ripped off I have the tinest nail beds lol, I have medium-size hands and I'm a nail tech so it sucks. Personally, I will always veer towards Professional brands, like Light elegance, Akzents, Fuzion, etc BUT I totally understand the Models one and now Bettles have a place for the nail DIYer, I just wonder how safe those products are vs professional ones

[@MarlaKris]

Ya know the grass is always greener! Sometimes I wish I had cute lil nail beds! But thank you so much! I always wonder about that too.. the safety of some products. As a DIYer it’s so hard to get the pro products. I’ve seen LE on a few sites that don’t require licensing but I haven’t seen the others! Any high-quality and DIY accessible product recommendation you have I’d be happy to take!! ❤️

I am horrible at dip powder but love your channel so I'm a gel polish girl all the way lol I will be trying the modelones pudding but not their polish in a bottle as I've tried it and don't like it. BUT, I do love beetles. I have tons of their polishes. You're nails came out lovely as always 💅

[@manatucci2381]

Do ya know the shelf life after you open it? Trying to figure out the shelf life after it's open. Does it dry out?

[@MarlaKris]

Since gel only cures in light, it shouldn’t ever dry out unless you leave it open under an LED for a period of time. I’ve had mine for about 6 months and they perform like brand new! 💞

[@caitmlp]

When you say you let them cure - did you use a lamp?

[@MarlaKris]

Yes.. they’re gels and do need to be lamp cured ❤️

[@WhitneyIreland]

I wonder if it might work better without putting the alcohol on the brush. Think of it more like a gel polish and not so much a polygel. The alcohol is going to break down the gel slightly. I would go into the pudding with a dry brush OR even work the pudding into the brush a little before applying to the nail. That might help the streaks slightly. I’m saying this without any pudding experience but just thinking about the way gel works.

[@WhitneyIreland]

Because when you apply a potted gel color and use a brush, you are supposed to work the color into the brush a bit.

[@MarlaKris]

Yep that’s why I used the alcohol.. I needed it to be thinner. I think some people may love this stuff! For me tho.. i just find the gel polish works better. Super personal preference 💗

[@aubreymiles9262]

The directions say to prep /clean the brush with a clear gel. I found it helped application a lot.

Hello Marla, I an newbie to nails, and I found your channel. I am in love with it, and I knew I had to subscribe (I did it). Before watching you I got some gel polish from Modelones and Beatles. I do not know anything about nails. Do you have a tutorial for beginners on everything for gel polish? I know you love dip power (I will try them as well, but they look more complicated for me, so I would like to star with something easy like gel polish) I need to practice with them first because I already got them. What do you use to swipe down your nails at the end? Thank you so much, I love your channel.

[@MarlaKris]

Hey love! Welcome to the family!! And thank you so much for your kind words 🥰 I do have a bunch of gel videos (you can search “Marla kris gel” and watch whichever suits you best but I’ll link my most recent beginner friendly, step by step gel manicure tutorial for you to check out!

How to clean the pen?

[@MarlaKris]

I just use gel top or base to clean out the pigment. You can leave that gel top/base on the brush so it doesn’t dry out!

[@Mama-wx4ts]

Into the compact size.

Did you prime the brush with base gel?

You have to prime your brush first before use
