One Year On YouTube?! Ask Me Anything! Thank You For One Year!

[@NicoleLovesNails]

Love you too! And thank you! Your content is by far some of my favorite here on the platform and it makes me so happy that I can call you a friend! Happy anniversary!!

[@NicoleLovesNails]

7:27 but it IS good enough 😒

[@NicoleLovesNails]

9:50 I recently started doing more clickbait thumbnails and yeah they work 🫠🤣

[@NicoleLovesNails]

16:57 agreed. So many people wait until it will be perfect and there’s no perfection. Just do it and learn as you go

[@NicoleLovesNails]

26:49 I’m going to quote you on that 😂

[@NicoleLovesNails]

28:35 you just had to 😭

[@PolishedYogi]

Happy anniversary Linry!! 🥳 i loved getting to know you thru this Q&A and of course have enjoyed your videos/content so far, I feel like i’m still so new to your channel! I’m so glad you started your channel, we all just love talking about nail polish and we def have a really great and supportive community 🥹 i can’t wait to see your upcoming videos you talked about in the end, i definitely have wanted to do more scripted vids and yes an actual script helps SO much vs bullet points lol so i can’t wait to see more from you 🤗

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you so much! This community has truly been so kind! You are the queen of comparisons. that takes so much time and work! I truly appreciate it all the hard work you do!

[@jenniferw392]

Congrats one one year! Came for the nail polish, stayed for the tomfoolery, in love with your adorable kitties! Pet cameos make every video 10x better, in my opinion!

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you!

[@jenniecoburn-valley3963]

Aweee totally feeling the love. I also appreciate how you validate the folks on low buy and fight the FOMO. Congrats on one year. (and of course cider should be served warm- unless you are at the apple orchard and they give you the fresh pressed cold)

[@WoWLinry]

it's a hard balance on KZbin, Haul videos DO WELL the algorithm (and people) LOVE them. So creators are rewarded for doing them. I just want people to feel comfortable with their own budgets and not over spend

[@fanaticure]

For the record, I'm so glad you're like this.

[@WoWLinry]

I'm so happy I found this little gremlin side of the polish world

[@scurvgirl]

Happy anniversary!! Oh, okay, as a fellow gamer and D&D nerd...girl, give us the nail polishes you associate with characters and classes. What polishes in your collection would fit BG3? (*whispers* do you play dragon age and if you do are you excited for veilguard??) Love your tomfoolery and I look forward to more!

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you! I think Color Clubs "midnight magic" would be perfect for a twilight domain cleric! that's the first thing that comes to mind but a full video would be so much fun to make! China Glazes "Now or Nova" feels like a perfect shade for bg3 it has very "Authority" vibes lol. I haven't played dragon age yet but its on the looooong list of games I need to play lol!

[@alinarosu7944]

Congrats on your first year, many more to come! :) PS: i love your cats!

[@tracyhoverson8294]

Loved this video! And I would totally be into a history of nail polish video!

[@frickinfrick8488]

I would be so keen for more investigative/research based videos like the Mooncat bottles one! Maybe a deep dive into unicorn pee? There are so many fun conspiracy theories to discuss with that topic

[@WoWLinry]

A UP vid would be so much fun! A huge part of nail polish history!

[@JazzykeMerNails]

Happy 1 year anniversary!!! 🎉

[@pastelveon]

congrats for a year! as soon as i heard you were starting to make yt vids from your insta, i had to give a watch; i was not disappointed in the slightest! your vids are always fun to watch along with the tom foolery you put into them! im also glad to hear that im not the only person who’s unemployed; trying to find a job in these trying times is hard af 😅😂 thank you for the joy you give me every day! ❤

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you so much I'm so happy you enjoy my videos

[@lifeandrandomness1868]

What a wonderful, genuine & completely zany video! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment...is it weird to say that it feels like I have a new friend?? Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us!! BTW, you can reply to my comments/questions at any point...I accept that life happens & you can't always be sitting around just waiting to type out replies. Also, thanks for indulging my verbose question/comment. (I think I blushed as you were reading my post.) I'm the quintessential Chatty Cathy, even when writing, so that's just me being me! (Case in point, here I am doing it yet again!) Lastly, as a native Floridian who is quite a bit older than you, I can assure you that our educational system hasn't always been as abysmal as it is now. I don't even recognize my state any longer, not just in terms of our schools, but in nearly every facet of daily life. When I read about how many people are allegedly relocating here, I always ask myself: WHY??? Here's hoping you & your honey are making the best of it! 🌅🏖🌴

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you so much! It is a crime what has happened to this state, I've lived here for over 10 years and it feels like whiplash how quickly things have changed.

[@AubreyMobley]

Everyone needs a base and top coat, too many people try to do polish without it and get frustrated that it doesnt work.

[@HappiSabi]

No way it's been a year (+3 weeks) already!! 😍 Woohoo hooraaay congratulations! 🥳I am so excited for what the future holds for you 😍❤️❤️ xx

[@Key2MyHeart]

Not me thinking your name was actually Linry or something close to it omg

[@LH-ci1bn]

Big fan of the tomfoolery. Keep it comin'!

[@nluther22]

Happy anniversary! NicoleLovesNails sent me here ❤

[@KhaleesiSelena]

Congrats on the one year!!! I’m glad I started watching your videos halfway through the year, I love your videos so much! Also I’m sorry to hear you’re unemployed, I didn’t know that and it it’s not by choice, you got this. if it is by choice, ain’t no problem with that we all need a break! My mom was a phlebotomist for 30 years so when I heard you’re one I was like yusss phlebotomists unite! But I also watch you for the chaos and the random talk about anime and gaming! Keep on creating content bc I’ll be here to consume it!

[@ohaijen]

I love all your content and your personality so much Linry! Happy one year on youtube! 🎉

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you so much

[@winnies2393]

I found your channel at the beginning of the year and you’ve provided me with a much needed distraction from reality! This always seems like a safe place to just be silly and talk about something that isn’t that deep. Congrats on 1 year! I’ll have to go back and watch that wonka video!

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you find this space to be safe

[@the.mermaid.scientist]

Yay for 1 year! MLS here (medical laboratory scientist for those that don't know) so shout out to the lab hahah. I'm glad I found you, I appreciate the tomfoolery and your dupe it out series

[@jenrosejenrose7417]

What you are doing is a lot of work and you deserve to get paid for it.

[@rei_cirith]

You know... I think nail polish is such a personal thing that the more variety we have in content creators, the easier it is for anyone to find someone they vibe with/skintone match. I really appreciate how candid your videos have been! Congrats on a great first year!

[@rei_cirith]

lol p.s. I didn't realize I wasn't even subscribed, your videos always pop up on my feed anyway 😅

[@micha7895]

Yes, let’s go!!! I was fortunate enough to join your channel from the first time NicoleLoves gave it a shout out and I plan on being here until the very end ❤

[@blueside-hobi3409]

So excited for the how to stamp video! I had a massive fail when I tried😭 congrats on one year!

[@WoWLinry]

Hopefully it will be out next month I just want to make sure I don't miss anything!

[@MoodysMood-lt6wh]

Congrats to you! I love your content!

[@WoWLinry]

thank you so much

[@jampsonn1826]

Happy 1 year!! And I have to second Diablo 2 - such a classic nostalgia game for me. None of the new ones have given me the same feeling as playing that one did for the first time. 😅 also I love that you want to continue the dupe series - it's so good! Not a nail polish girly myself but I love the creativity of it all. Can't wait for more from you, Linry!

[@WoWLinry]

uggh the sounds the music EVERY thing about that game went 100%.

[@jampsonn1826]

The gameplay was just so good for me! There were things about diablo 3 that I immediately was like...😒 why change that?? Lolol

[@nerdlovesnails]

Your videos are so fun and energetic. Love it. Happy Anniversary!

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you!

[@Alicealexandra4]

Noo wayy i love WoW! I started playing on turtle just over a year ago and it changed my life. I seriously play it non stop , its hard to decide to paint my nails or to play wow sometimes lol the addiction is not a joke lol. Im glad i found your channel!

[@valeriemcdonald440]

Super Mario RPG! 😆 Joking, actually Fire Emblem Three Houses Edit: what the heck, this comment went on the wrong video lol

[@dheartflame]

Well, if is about your favorite videogame, I love Fire Emblem too 💜

[@Lacquerography]

Happy 1 year KZbin-versary! 🎉 Thanks for bringing such joyful energy to this space! Keep doing what you do! 💖

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you so much!

[@clairebenevento409]

Congrats on 1 year! I've only been watching for a few months but I love your content. And speaking of state facts, my partner used to live in Oklahoma where the state vegetable is the watermelon

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you! lol what a watermelon? what a fun fact!

[@64___]

HOT apple cider!! Sounds weird but I like you confidently saying you are currently unemployed and you have time to pursue the things you love. My husband recently became a high earner and I’m considering quitting my job (what I make in a month he makes in a day so I don’t see the point of me working). He encourages me to peruse my hobbies (nail polish, video games, working out, beading) but I feel insecure about quitting. I decided to cut down on work starting next month but you made me realize I shouldn’t be insecure about it. So thank you🧡 Also how is your skin so clear and beautiful. You have better skin than most skincare KZbinrs haha!

[@WoWLinry]

Just remember you're not seeing my skin in HD or up close! my pours are black head heaven lol!

[@TiffanyFord_13]

Happy 1 year!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you!

[@corsicanlulu]

happy anniversary linry! i got a bunch of polishes just from ur vids so theyre very helpful to me to watch. i just wish u had more subscribers!

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed the polishes you got!

[@luckyyuki]

Yay!!! Congrats!!! Happy to see the channel grow!

[@harlequindragon125]

Inuyasha Collection absolutely!!! ❤

[@helenherbstl]

Georgia (state) native here - it’s stupid-hot too much of the time. I still take my apple cider warm.

[@WoWLinry]

THANK YOU the only way! lol

[@sharongibilisco1303]

Congratulations. You make me laugh out loud every video.

[@WoWLinry]

I'm so happy I can make you laugh!

[@missohmoon]

Congrats on 1 year! I’ve loved watching your videos and seeing your channel grow! Also I KNEW I HEARD YOU REFER TO YOURSELF AS ALY (sp?) IN A FEW VIDEOS! I literally gaslit myself into thinking I imagined it 😂 Also I love your sailor moon shirt!

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you! I spell it Allie the longest way lol

[@katiepare9685]

Awesome video! It's great getting to know you through your videos!

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you so much for sharing your story

[@turtleby]

you give off such september vibes

[@WoWLinry]

THANK YOU! Do you know how many times I've been called an Aries?!?! how dare they lol

[@lunarules1]

Happy one year KZbinversary!!🎂🍑🎂

[@jojobeaux]

Thank you for 1 year! 💅💅💅

[@usflin]

Honored to say I subbed when you were just under 1k! Hehehe. Great advice to go watch KZbinrs first videos for anyone considering making their own content!

[@wendidimus]

I can't believe it's been a year already! It was just YESTERDAY when you started!!!!

[@WoWLinry]

ikr?!?! where has the year gone!

[@turtleby]

so happy you made a channel, your my fav nail polish yt creator lol

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you so much! That is so incredibly humbling to know

[@TiffanyFord_13]

@@@@ me next time! I edit on my phone 😂

[@PolishedMess]

Same 😅 I tried on a laptop (chrome book) and it was a nightmare. Gave up and switched back to my phone 😂

[@WoWLinry]

there are too many of you degens to @ on the screen lol I CAAAAAANT how do yall do it???? screen tooooo small!

[@JollyDSmoker]

Congrats!!! Big fan here 😊❤

[@SethLavender]

FOMO is real and PPU and other preorder sites of that ilk are so tempting. I always narrow it down to only PPU and then only 5... but try to go less.

[@WoWLinry]

Such a great idea! 5 makes sure you REALLY want a polish lol

[@Damanique]

YOUR NAME IS NOT LINRY??? 😭😭😭😭😭

[@Damanique]

Also congratulations! The algorithm recced me your channel several weeks ago and I really like your no nonsense approach to collecting nail polish, your sense of humor, I think you very much have your own style of videos within the nail polish community on KZbin and it's refreshing to watch your content!

[@PolishedMess]

You would be surprised all the lies she has told us 👀 /sarcasm

[@ThatSoundsBoring]

@@PolishedMessYes! She’s a lying liar who lies.

[@ThatSoundsBoring]

@@PolishedMessHa I got deleted again. I need to behave lest I be blocked.

[@WoWLinry]

Thats right I just went onto the internet and told LIES!

[@lestranged]

It's been almost 3 months since the Laqueristas Discord was deleted, and the new version 2 is thriving and busier than ever, so there's no real need to recap the selfish destructive act. I don't want that destructive person to get more attention. Ideally I'd like them to be forgotten. Every now and then, I want to search for something in the discord and I am reminded: all that history and resources is just gone. And then I do get sad for a second. But (insert peach) lots of great people are building something even better, and that makes me happy.

[@WoWLinry]

I feel like it was a big moment for the nail polish community, but one that was very personal. no need to drag every thing back up when the dust has settled

[@tabularasa]

I was so pleased when you said the Wonka video was your favorite, it's mine too lol I think I had already subscribed to your channel a few weeks before you put that video out, but when you did, I was like-- this truly is a nail tuber who is on a different level lol 😂 The creepy AI vibes were perfect. And thanks for posting all the peach butts in one frame 39:46 I don't know if I've seen the scarf one before! I enjoy your original style and humor and willingness to be authentically you. Congrats on your successes on YT!! I'm much like the viewer you mentioned at the end, seeking a lighthearted reprieve from intense life stuff, still processing the loss of my spouse, coping with tons of anxiety, trying to put the pieces together to figure out the next chapter, BUT 🍑 your videos do brighten my days, along with beautiful nail colors and sparkles ✨

[@WoWLinry]

Thank you so much

[@tabularasa]

@@WoWLinry I'm trying my best 💖 Thanks for making this corner of the internet funnier and brighter. You are sweetness under all that snark 😊

[@couchpotatolovespolish]

🍍💕🍍💕🍍💕🍍 1 year wooohoooo🥳🎉 thank you that you told me that i can do videos 😊 i'm to stressed out about capcut (i tried) lol glad that i have imovie on my device 😂

[@WoWLinry]

There are so many helpful guides on youtube! No one just "knows" how to edit a video, it takes time and practice! Good luck!

[@ThatSoundsBoring]

Happy anniversary! That’s all I say because everything else gets deleted, I’m not fit for the internet.

[@WoWLinry]

I'm sure if you keep trying the auto mod will give up! lol

[@ToastontheEastCoast]

Should apple cider be served hot or cold? Yes. What other answer can you give? It's a preference/seasonal dependent answer and there is no right or wrong. I grew up and still live Maine adjacent and spent most of my teen years hanging out on the US side of the border, but living on a tiny Canadian island with a yearly population of less than 1000 (more in the summer) and only able to access my home country through the states pretty much guaranteed I was going to culturally be as American as I am Canadian in spite of my citizenship, lol. How tiny an island? No gas station, have to go through the border to fill up your car. But there is a lovely tourist trap, I mean international park, that features the summer home of a particularly famous former US president, at which I worked 3 summers at when I was a high school/university student a couple decades ago. We do have seasons but it's along the lines of mud, mosquitos and road work, fall, winter, more winter, false spring, haha winter again. The ai wonka video was what clinched me hitting subscribe. I think I had watched a couple of your videos before that one, but the sheer unhinged hilarity just got me and I became a complete fan (cult member?). I love your dupe it out videos and it has inspired me to add a few more LA Colors as toppers, though my collecting energy is focused on China Glaze for the most part. If you ever get to the point of having merch for your channel, I think your sprinkle peach on a shirt with some kind of sprinkle statement, like Sprinkles? Wtf? Or "it's always the sprinkles" or something like that.

[@ThatSoundsBoring]

53:11 Yellow.

[@MamaGoony]

Apple Cider, nice and warm is the only way! Oh born in Ohio!

[@PolishedMess]

First!

[@NicoleLovesNails]

Second 🤣

[@WoWLinry]

nerd

[@MamaGoony]

Man I wished there was a q&A , I would like to know where you get that shelf for your polishes?

[@WoWLinry]

My shelf is unfortunately custom made (my fiance made it for me)

[@mlwgurl]

Played World of Warcraft? I knew i liked you. Frost mage main here. Dragonflight is the expansion that is just ending now and it was so good but i totally get it, Shadowlands was dark times...

[@WoWLinry]

The darkest time line.....I heard good things about Dragonflight I've just lost hope in Blizzard after 3 bad expansions in a row lol

[@dheartflame]

Wow vampire knight hit old hahahahahaha I read the manga and wow that gets worse by the hour 😂 (but I did read it all anyway)

[@WoWLinry]

I think everyone needs to experience it JUST once....*me going to experience it for the 40th time*

[@katarinal4382]

What was the most surprising polish you liked?

[@WoWLinry]

Probably HoloTaco's cool cat mom. I thought it was too basic...then I got it on my nails lol

[@tammy2090]

Wow, a year already! Congrats 👏 and by the way, cider is equally good hot or cold IMO.

[@nickspolish]

i wonder who asked the question about me… (ily tho teehee)

[@WoWLinry]

👀👀👀

[@koriat0158]

Stop telling me i need flight of the monarchs, I already have Lumens Calcifer, I don't need them both and I already like oranges (or maybe I need them both? Shut up shopping addiction) 😂😅

[@WoWLinry]

If you already love oranges the mission accomplished! (I just need more people to like orange that way I GET MORE ORANGES!)

[@aerimara]

Yuppp -- you quit WoW the same time I did. I could not even with all that. Also I was annoyed with how they handled the stories for the last couple of expansions, particularly for Sylvanas

[@WoWLinry]

uggg yeeees what was the story?! they ruined Arthas's story just for the lame "jailor" pfffffffffffffffttttt

[@koriat0158]

Do you remember how you came up with Linry? 🙈

[@WoWLinry]

I really like the way L's R's Y's sound and I like names that go up and down in pitch so Linry was a quick stumble lol

[@chriswebb5632]

Too much of a coward to tell us which nail polish tastes the best.
