New Year Resolutions, Did I Fail Last Years?

[@NicoleLovesNails]

I love that you made your anti Blueberry propaganda part of the filming setup

[@WoWLinry]

I place something on the wall IT STAYS there. same with that damn duck painting from my duck nails video rip

You should make your memberships $1, then those that want to support can and you won’t feel so guilty. 💚

[@Lacqueredactyl]

You're insanely creative, and quirky, and fun. And that's why people flock to you. Don't do more than you feel like you can handle, but setting amazing goals like you have are fun to try or reach and so uplifting when you do teach them! I'm so excited to see how much you grow in 2025!!!

Imposter syndrome is a bitch, no matter how good you are at something and how many people tell you that you're good, it still feels like you're never good enough or even good at all. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if you were to be assessed and diagnosed with ADHD, I see a lot of similar traits in you that I see in myself and my kids and we were all diagnosed 9 or 10 years ago. Those personality traits/quirks are what keeps me coming back and finding you so relatable. The sucky parts of living with ADHD are the anxiety issues, depression, imposter syndrome and rejection sensitive dysphoria that go hand in hand with the humour, creativity and fun weird aspects of having a squirrel brain. I honestly think your content is awesome, you and Alexandria Ryan are 2 of the few youtubers that I see post something and I immediately have to watch as soon as I notice.

Truth - We are good enough too bad we don’t see that !

[@WoWLinry]

thank you so much for your kind words. it truly means a lot

Commenting at min 9:49. I made it a point in 2023 to figure out why certain things were so hard for me and I was finally diagnosed with ADHD and started medication (was impacting work and day to day life). One year later I can say that my life has changed for the better. Even if ADHD isn't a diagnosis for you, we all process/learn/DO things differently. You're not lazy. What environments do you thrive in? It's ok to take breaks! What will help you get back in track? We can all learn a thing or two about our selves if we stop trying to match was "successful" is to the larger aociety. Thank you for sharing you're goals! I'm personally trying to use my older polishes and destashing formulas I don't like.

[@WoWLinry]

thank you for sharing your experience, its quite reassuring

[@tortiewhisperer]

I think I speak for many of us when I say you have brought some much-needed joy and levity to all of us viewers. Congrats on reaching your goals, and I look forward to making the best of 2025 with you

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you so much!

[@hatchetman751]

You’ve been killin it this year. Love the beginner nail art series

[@WoWLinry]

thank you so much!

[@PolishedMess]

Editing Linry's room is so 🚨 Nerd Alert 🚨

[@WoWLinry]

if I tilt the camera slightly to the left my InuYasha shrine would be in the background and dont forget Frumpkin(the orange cat) from critical roll sitting next to my monitor

[@kirstenk7168]

I'm not big on commenting, but I want to tell you this: I got diagnosed with ADHD in April/May 2024 and am now on medication (Elvanse is the German name). I went to therapy and learned a lot about myself. I found a group of ADHD people and we meet every other week (kind of like AA in the US? It's like a self-help group but not really anonymous). I always thought I was lazy, not living up to my potential and could do better, cause that's what people in my family told me. That's bullshit. A lot of (female*) content creators I follow got diagnosed and it shows how much we are learning about it as a spectrum. If you are ADHD, you are wonderful just the way you are and you're not alone! Best of luck to you from Germany! :) I discovered your channel in 2024 and it brings me much joy!

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you so much

[@nataliehelregel4252]

A suggestion for the editing! It would be tedious and a lot of upfront work but you could find the product photos for each nail polish in your collection, save and organize them on your computer. That way when you film a dupe- you have the library of photos already to quickly grab from. Then there might be a way to make a couple templates with empty slots for your videos. Good luck! Proud of you for completing last years resolutions!!

[@darkstormynails]

For the dupe videos, having your person inventory of your swatches easily accessible helps - I keep those photos in my database - but I feel you on the edit

[@ccaatthheerriinnee]

On the stamping plate guilt, you don’t need to use them to not feel guilt. They’re there when you need them. I randomly bought yeast at the store a month ago with no recipe in mind. Just thought I might like to try making bread some time. Today I made bread for the first time without going to the store because I had everything I needed. Just another point of view.

[@ServingSass]

Girl I thought you were one of my ADHD channels and I'd just forgot when you'd mentioned it. Best luck on your journey!

[@Zuddziemanicures]

For the dupe it out series look at how nurse Jackie does her's. I find them entertaining and seemingly attainable

[@jojobeaux]

DaVinci Resolve is so much fun! You can do it! 🤩

[@savannamm]

I don't have a ton of nail polish yet but I look at it like I do my yarn and crochet. The yarn doesn't go bad. My current project isn't going to rot away if I don't finish it in a "timely" manner. I have a project that's been going for like 2 years now. Changing my mindset has helped a lot with the guilt I used to feel buying more yarn or starting new projects

[@sierra734]

You should Dual Stream ! You’re very entertaining with an amazing sense of humor. Keep up the good work and congratulations on hitting over 2k subs you earned it ❤

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you!

[@PolishandProofs]

Editing is such a pain in the butt. I used to have a channel back in the day and gave it up because I just could NOT do it anymore. Love hearing about your set up and background process though, would love to hear more about this! Hoping to figure out an easier editing process myself, it would be cool to make content again. Also, hi, I'm an ADHDer (and autistic to boot), and I hope you get the answers that validate your experience. I went in absolutely thinking I'd be diagnosed with being too lazy, but turned out to be ADHD lol. So much of your experience echoes mine. Getting these answers helped give me an understanding of why life has felt like something was missing, that I could never quite meet standards or expectations (and if I did, it would be temporary and I'd burn out). Feel you 100% on the nail community coming through. I decided to be brave a month ago and actually connect & share, instead of just consuming content, and it's been helpful in healing my burnout from life stuff. Never really considered making a new year resolution, so this is giving me some thought. Thank you for your content that genuinely helped me on some rough days last year. I hope 2025 brings everyone community, support, success, and health (even if it's just answers). 💜

[@dariac300]

Hi, you're my favorite nail polish chanel, I love watching your videos. You make my days better. I'm getting diagnosed with ADHD this month and I'm so excited about that, I hope you get your answers.

[@WoWLinry]

you are too kind omg thank you so much!

[@Kissanainen]

My nail polish goal this year is to track what polishes I actually use from my collection, and how I use them (nail art, full mani skittle...) I have a spreadsheet ready in my notebook😅😂.

[@WoWLinry]

leeeeettttsss gooooo I love spreadsheet data

[@helenherbstl]

Obviously I can't speak for the whole nail polish community -- except I totally can, and we love and appreciate you so much

[@minervadetta]

This video made me so excited for you!! It’s so encouraging to see that you set and achieved so many goals for yourself in 2024! I’m so happy to have found the nail polish community in 2024, in 2025 for nail polish I want to start more actively interacting with other people’s content and I want to try making my own. I’d also like to find an active hobby (trying out rollerskating and disc golf now!) and be more social! Congrats on a very successful 2024!! Here’s to a good 2025!!

[@WoWLinry]

in 2023 I wanted to start interacting more with the nail polish community and I'm so glad I did! not a single regret! and about your own content do it do it do it! lol

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Love your tutorials and your lives ❤❤❤Keep on trucking.

[@cheyenne21577]

Thank you Linry! ❤ I’ve had a rough year with depression and mental health too but we’re trying to stay positive! I like your note on how it might be the extra high points just make the lows seem lower. Maybe we weren’t actually that low we just got used to the high points so quickly the opposite side seemed worse 😅 My only real goals this year are to spend less money on things I don’t need, and try to be happier with the life and things I already have! ❤ Cheers to 2025 Linry! Fingers crossed we both can make it a better year! 😊

[@WoWLinry]

the yoyo of depression is so hard. I'm hoping your 2025 is amazing!

[@Ajneencs]

Love you! Thank you for all you do. The press on nails are FINE! 😊

[@lunarules1]

Happy New Year, Linry! 💜💜💜

[@dailypolishme]

💅👏💖TFS 2025

[@micha7895]

For the dupe it series, how about adding swatches only for what you settled on. That would already be helpful to the viewer, but limit the additional pictures needed when editing.

[@chinadollcd4]

Has it already been a year!?! I thought of you and your 4k step goal every time I got out hiking this year. So glad to hear you reached your goal!

[@lotsa_nailpolish]

I so enjoy your channel ❤ your personality is so uplifting for me. I swatch all my polishes on sticks when I get them (eventually lol), before I put them in storage. I’m caught up now finally after Black Friday, but I will put them on a side table until I’m done swatching on sticks and they’re ready to officially join the inventory. My nail goals are to post way more on insta, improve my pic taking skills/setup, and very low buy. I mist definitely need to move more and improve my health.

[@fw6691]

Happy new year! I'm really impressed by the goals you set so well, can't say that for myself lol. I am always looking forward to watching your content, similar to mediocre mani I enjoyed to watch you also talk a bit more about financial aspects and thoughts when it comes to nail polish (might sound weird haha can't describe any better) and I also just really like your sense of humor.

[@WoWLinry]

thank you so much!

[@shoelaceswitcher]

Unsolicited advice re: dupe it out series from someone who is neither a KZbinr nor a video editor but who likes problem solving... What if you photographed a lineup of all the bottles used in each dupe attempt while you're painting? Then you could just circle or point to the ones you used when you're talking about them, show them with a swatch stick in the photo, but don't need to show each polish on your full hand. Especially since you repeat many of the same ones each time, it isn't adding much. Hopefully that helps on time.

[@MoodysMood-lt6wh]

Happy New Year! 🎉 I would like to stick to my low buy. I’ve decided to attempt a no buy for a few months after next month’s PPU because I love the theme.

[@WoWLinry]

good luck with your no buy/low buy! You've got this!

[@HoloAndBeyond]

congrats linry!!! i hope you reach your 2025 goals for 2025 i'm not going to buy any nail polish until i swatch all of my polishes and set up other social medias other than youtube

[@ap-nyc]

🥇 first! Whoop whoop! Thanks for all the amazing content. 🥳

[@PolishedYogi]

Re: streamlining your editing, isn’t there a keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot while cropping the size so its not a screenshot of the full screen? So instead of downloading the image and then going to crop, you’re just doing it in one step? Idk if that makes sense, its been a hot minute since i used a PC but keyboard shortcuts are sooo key with editing lol. Anyway congrats on all you’ve accomplished so far!! You’re about to hit 3k soon so you should update that goal 😝

[@daniellej1543]

2025 might not be great but at least we still have nail polish and each other! 🎉

[@wendidimus]

Keep it up! Love ya!

[@WoWLinry]

[@SethLavender]

I’m officially on a no buy 🎉. Keep making awesome content

[@WoWLinry]

good luck on your no buy! You've got this!
