Nail Polish Collection- whispering/ relaxation

[@SilentCitadel]

I love setting them all out like this. I'm like a kid with candy

[@dreamgirlfriendevil]

You know, I'm pretty sure this was the very first ASMR video I ever watched! I came across it years ago while looking up nail polish collections (I was looking for new colours to try) and I've been obsessed with ASMR ever since. I come back to it every now and again for a weird kind of nostalgia. So thank you for introducing me to the wonderful ASMR community! :)

[@SilentCitadel]

also, I'm secretly proud of his weirdness, and quietly encourage it at every turn. Uniqueness is one of the most valuable things a person can have, imho

[@dreamgirlfriendevil]

I think this is my favorite video of yours. I am obsessed with nail polish, but I can't make it past 20 mins before falling asleep. So relaxing!

[@BKBrunelle74]

Wow! some of those polishes look like you could make Christmas decorations with them especially the red and gold glider one. I noticed your nails had a metallic/Obsidian appearance and were quite beautiful.Love your whisper! The sound of the nail polish bottles opening and closing, and when you were dipping the brushes, they made a particular sound that I could listen to all day, provided I stayed awake!...LOL Thank You!! awesome video!

[@omgothh]

Your rings are soooo beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@SilentCitadel]

ha- I've never been one for vanity either, but there's something about nail art that's really apprealing to me for some reason. I love the "mario green" thing- I used to call one of the colors I had "kermit green" lol

[@CoconutsWhisper]

I'm just about to pass out. ... but love this video. Thank you zzzzzzz so easy to watch over and over again xxx

[@SilentCitadel]

Lubu Heels is SO AWESOME irl. It's just magnificent. I also adore darker colors. I hope you manage to get one, you'll adore it.

[@ItalianCouture7]

I totally remember the Mood Changing nail polish you have! I used to have a bunch of them, not sure what I did with them though. I also loved the look of the bottle.

[@mscameron22]

I love you choice of colors.. Perhaps I will have to go out and buy some more hehe

[@QueenAbikeIdowu]

Your Galaxy Nail Design is simply beautiful, Wearing that design on my power nails as I am watching this awesome video.

[@nataliadosreis10]

love all the sound and all the nail polishes, btw your nails are wonderful!

[@GoldenXBoots]

I'm a real sucker for dark vampy colours, especially reds (like Prey tell in the new C.G. Safari collection). I NEED China Glaze Lubu heels since I already have Ruby pumps. Actually I just bought some new polishes yesterday. Once a week I go swatch hunting on the internet. It leaves my wallet screaming for mercy. Ahh, nothing better than painting your nails, I find. I enjoy watching your videos not only for the relaxation, but also for the beautiful nails and nail art.

[@stridethisway]

Great parenting honey. I think if he wants to that's his deal and I am happy you support him in trying what he wants to do. :D

[@AsmrLetUsPlay]

Ah you have a lovely voice! Whispers nearly never do it for me, but your whispers are massaging my weary brain! I greatly enjoyed this video.

[@echoe69]

Man I love it when my two loves get together, ASMR and nailpolish! I enjoyed your collection very much and I see I have a few more polishes to put on my wishlist ;) Thanks for the tour of your collection, you have a great little group there! I have almost 600 now and I'm not near done collecting yet ;) And yes yes do make your own polishes! It's called Frankening, google it, there's many tips and tricks and supplies out there, you'd make amazing stuff no doubt!

[@bluespiders71]

I'm never going to make it to the end of this video....I keep drifting off into blissful sleep! :-)

[@misswhisperlove]

Esmerelda, you think this is excessive?? Lol I think It's great. My mom did all sorts of nail art when I was little and now I've gotten into it myself. There are so many new techniques. Your nebula nails were definitely one I hadn't seen but LOVE. You always give me new craft ideas. I'm the type to just wander a craft store looking for something new to try. In fact, KZbin/ ASMR are new to me but at least I finally made a username (tonight Haha) so there may be some videos from me in the future

[@SilentCitadel]

I don't need them any more than a collecter "needs" anything. They're fun, I enjoy them, and I like the variation. There's a real awesthetic appeal in seeing them all together. I collect a few different things (thus the collections playlist) and don't "need" any of them. It's just one of those little things that makes life more fun :)

[@kell909]

I used to get my nails done all the time, but never dared to start collecting polish colors. I always chose from what the manicurist had on her desk & never bought them because I *knew* I'd be dangerous if I did start. Sigh. Now you have those wheels turning again. Thanks a lot, dear! LOL

[@tunahelpa5433]

Nice, relaxing video. I always do page turning and whispering on two vids at a time. I mean, there are two videos streaming, one is page turning and one is whispering. I usually watch the page turning one. This is a good whispering video for that purpose. It's hard to find a good whisperer!

[@alicia535]

The "Green With Envy" color that didn't have a label is from Sally Hansen, I have the same one and I love to wear it for St. Patrick's Day or just in the spring in general. It's such a pretty green. Also loved this video! Nail polish is definitely my vice too and I have a ton from a ton of different brands. I'm not picky as long as I love the color! :)

[@ladylinkage]

looove this video. you have such a great collection. in response to the brownish polish you couldn't remember which brand it was, i think that's morbid makeup. i have a few bottles like that i got from hot topic a couple years ago.

[@mcn625]

BTW- love the reds! I'm glad I watched, I got some tips for new colors, I always have some sort of red on my toes and fingers, I am a sucker for red nails

[@AleeshaWeesha]

That's quite an array of colors! Fun! I don't know why but I feel a bit sorry for that poor little pinkie finger without a ring! lol

[@SilentCitadel]

haha, no I hate those things- I do sometimes put the little ads that go on the bottom, but those are silent, and really not distracting or annoying to me personally, so I hope people don't mind too much about them. Anyway, I agree, and you're welcome!

[@SilentCitadel]

Oh you should totally check out cutepolish who has a tutorial for it (the nebula nails) that's just great. The asmr community is really special, I hope you like it! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for the comment!

[@SilentCitadel]

I have I have! They're lovely! I just haven't found any that make me feel justified spending over 10 bucks on a bottle of nail polish- but when I do I sure as heck will buy one.

[@Owl_of_Starlight]

My son is 7 and likes wearing my pink sparkly Hello Kitty nail polish. :)

[@TheKaitKat]

The Hunger Games red-ish gold sparkle nail polish is GORGEOUS ♥ great video also (:

[@SilentCitadel]

no, my only problem is needing or wanting to cough or clear my throat and having to wait for a good stopping point- that's kind of annoying but not a long term issue. It's possible it causes problems, but I smoke occasionally so any sore throats I'd have I would pin on that first.

[@emersonhardy7501]

I am a heterosexual male who is secure enough about his masculinity to say that I love painting my nails.

[@SilentCitadel]

I'll always rotate between show and tell, art creation, scratch & tap, etc etc- I try to do a little of everything, so yes- I will!

[@ClearBlueSkyyy]

Yes, thank you. It was pure curiosity. In one of my college classes a voice instructor came in to talk about using your voice properly for broadcasting, and he had said whispering was one of the worst things you could do to your vocal chords. But as long as it doesn't seem to hurt anyone in the whispering community then that's great!

[@SilentCitadel]

oh I've spent the last week reading all about it. I just made my first 2 successful frankenings this weekend- they look AWESOME.

[@Pigsbum53ASMR]

absolutely loved this :)

[@SilentCitadel]

My nails are painted to look like the cosmos- I showed them off up close in the scrapbook video if you're curious :) thank you so much- I love the sounds of bottles opening too!!!!!!

[@LeDiskoLove99]

Very nice very, very relaxing. You made me want to paint my nails haha. Although I kind of suck at a being a girl and always do a crappy job of painting my nails, and I only have three nail polish. Blue, red, and Mario green (it reminds me of Luigis clothes in super mario bros haha) But anyway, great video as usual!

[@SilentCitadel]

I'm over a year and a half in and I still feel like a beginner. We all learn from one another, it's never a one way street. Thank you- I do try to respond to everyone- it takes some dedication, but I'm very passionate about my channel. It wouldn't be what it is without all the wonderful people who watch and comment back, and I feel like it's only right to respond when someone tells me I'm radical!

[@brooke_t23]

Oops. By the way. I LOVE every single one of your videos. They're all very relaxing and flat out awesome, just like you xD. This video is by far my favorite thought. I don't know why but I love it. Maybe because I like nail polish? Who knows. Anyway, love it

[@SilentCitadel]

Hahah, I love how in this community, that's a compliment

[@SilentCitadel]

Of course I don't want him to suffer through the pain and torment of being an outcast & a weirdo like I did, but if that's who he is, forcing him to supress it would be so much crueller than encoraging to embrace whatever direction his heart guides him to- even if it means he'll be outside the norm- tbh, he already IS outside the norm, so no getting around that. For now though, he's 2 and a half, it's not like he's got a gender role he needs to be pressured into fufilling. He likes glitter, bfd

[@brooke_t23]

I love the color at about 1:51, Medalion. It's so gorgeous with all the rainbow colors and gold, almost iridescent. I'll definitely have to go hunt it down and get it : D

[@TheChaMaster]

One of the brands you're looking for is Morbid, their new bottles look like skulls but I had one like the red one you did and mine was morbid. Also great vids, love the rings and experiments! Electrify is a damn cool color

[@SilentCitadel]

TheChaMaster Isn't it? My bottle's mostly dried up at this point, but it was good while it lasted

[@SpookyStregaAL]

The first bottle you (Silent Citadel) were looking for looks alot like the nail polish i used to buy at hot Topic . TheChaMaster is morbid online or can you get it at Hot Topic?

[@stancexpunks]

Can you do a detailed tutorial on how you did your nebula nails?

[@SilentCitadel]

and thank YOU for hanging in there with me!

[@WhimsicalWolf]

The Green With Envy shade is a Sally Hansen brand. I'm almost positive, just judging from the bottle shape and stickers on it. And as always brilliant video!

[@Denizzmbm3]

Lol I was getting so sleepy! I just got to know ASMR and I'm actually pretty sensitive for asmr! Love this video! =)

[@SilentCitadel]

it was weird, it wasn't printed anywhere, but it's possible you're right- I had a few mystery bottles though, which one did you mean?

[@SilentCitadel]

*showers you with confetti* wheeeeeee! ha, seriously though, thank you :)

[@LeDiskoLove99]

Haha, well it IS art, just because it's on your nails doesn't take away from that fact. Aww Kermit green is cute! I swear every time I paint my nails with that green nail polish I can hear the mario theme song in my head. Haha.

[@TrixiWhispers]

I was looking for a video to watch while I painted my nails... this was perfect! Lol :) I had a few Del Sol glitter polishes and they were beautiful when I got them... but after a few months they turned muddy looking and I had to toss them. Have you had any problems with yours?

[@SilentCitadel]

It DOES look like christmas tinsel! But with gold and red instead of silver. Sparkly stuff is very holiday.

[@mcn625]

Can you do another scratching/tapping video? They are my absolute favorite, so relaxing and pretty art to look at at the same time!

[@SilentCitadel]

I only own one mac (which I didn't show) and no other really "nice" ones- I'm not sure why- maybe I just haven't really fallen in love with any of the colors of the spendy brands enough to justify the cost- but if I did find one I loved I'd totally spend too much on it. lol

[@Morgsy56]

most of the ones missing labels are sally hansens. the coppery one at the end is a NYC one though

[@Owl_of_Starlight]

Just so you know about your "Green with Envy" polish without a label, but that's Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear polish. :)

[@toucette]

so...which polish did you have on in the clay creatures video? It was such a great shade :) This was such a relaxing video; I fell asleep before I could turn on my alarm and almost missed a rehearsal! haha

[@xreapergrl666x]

is the medallion one also a crackle?? I really fell in love with that color lol

[@SilentCitadel]

And I always oblige. usually a different color on every nail, lol

[@SilentCitadel]

Hey jon- I had no idea she mentioned me- can you tell me what video it was so I can thank her??

[@SilentCitadel]

I'll definitely do a nail art video when I get a bit more comfy with my abilities :) I'll check out your channel soon, thanks!

[@LeyahJo]

what brand is the winterberry? im looking for a wedding nail color and that color is so lovely.

[@toxic_opossum523]

Holy bananas batman! We should compare our China Glaze polishes haha I love their stuff! And it's good to see a fellow lefty lacquerista! Also, that reddish brown polish without the label, is it maybe a Hot Topic polish? I forget their brand's name...

[@xreapergrl666x]

I have my own little crazy collection with various shades of black and then neon colors and such, but its really pretty, not something I see a lot of...can I ask what brand is the medallion? I couldnt really read it (stupid bad eyes)

[@SilentCitadel]

Funny thing, I haven't even used it yet!

[@GarthWilliamsRetouch]

love hearing u whisper.... puts me to sleep :3

[@SilentCitadel]

they're so bloody cute.

[@SilentCitadel]

you're about the 4th person to confirm this- so I'm confident you're 100% correct! Thank you!

[@SilentCitadel]

ah- no- it had a ladies name for a title, like "sue smith" but not that- I just don't remember what it was. every color by that brand I love.

[@SilentCitadel]

there's a commenter down the thread who said it was green with envy, and that she was wearing it right now, so this clinches it for sure! I'm only pick in that I don't generally buy wet n wild because the name makes me feel like hitting my face against a wall.

[@GelaMarie83]

The mystery brand polish looks like the kind they sell in Hot Topic.

[@SilentCitadel]

agate! just plain ol' agate- I really like agate actually- it's common, but so varied and beautiful

[@SilentCitadel]

I did, I loved those books

[@MsUa125]

Where do you buy your China Glaze nail polish?

[@SilentCitadel]

OooooOOOooo pretty! I looked it up!

[@SilentCitadel]

the name was like a woman's name or something- like "sue smith" but not that- garr,why did I take the labels off?!?!?

[@melikeymakemusic]

I love that your son wants you to paint his nails XD.

[@SilentCitadel]

The whole series is bomb

[@SilentCitadel]

You are awesome, thank you!

[@SilentCitadel]

Someone once told me that I should trademark that line, lol

[@Violetkawaiichan]

Those mystery polishes in the round bottles look like the hot topic polishes I don't remember the name

[@OrlaCunns]

I always love your rings

[@SilentCitadel]

I started the upload and went to bed, haha- It was done by the next morning, but lord knows, it could have taken many hours

[@SilentCitadel]

I thought I included them all- smoke and ashes should be among these...

[@SilentCitadel]

it's extreme wear, I've had a number of people confirm it, thank you!

[@SilentCitadel]

its a wonderful thing to discover isnt it?????

[@SilentCitadel]

hahah! *hands one through the ether for you"

[@TheSelfishWarrior]

The really bright green one is Sally Hansen. (Also, I'm picturing a mini David Bowie as your son and squealing.)

[@Brianna_Little_Apple_Mama]

The green is sally hansen insta dry. Love their brush

[@0whateverlike0]

YES originality and being unique are things to be proud of so its great that you encourage that! Sorry to hear that you suffered for being unique, I did too but it's ok because people like us always come out on top :D Nobody ever wins an award for fitting in, if other people want to sail through life unnoticed , that's who we should feel sorry for The people pushing boundaries and living how they feel are the ones who leave their mark. Being different is a brave move and it should be applauded!

[@SilentCitadel]

You are correct!

[@SilentCitadel]

thanks

[@ardentasmr7608]

wow im not the only one who does this with their nail polish lol

[@alwaysasleep]

42 minutes of you discussing nail polish!? SOOOOOOLLLLLD.

[@SilentCitadel]

I did too until recently when I had a sort of overwhelming desire to have my own- because I kept wanting colors that I knew existed but she didn't have- then I started wanthing to do nail art after watching cutepolish, so I'm like a fiend now. It's awful, lol

[@SilentCitadel]

thank you dearie!

[@SilentCitadel]

AH, that was a coat of white, and a coat of "rainbow"!

[@SilentCitadel]

Thanks!!!!!!
