Keep the jar… get another jar the same size and date them so you can see a time capsule of nails and your life and progress

[@Jason-sk2qk]

Wow you liked my comment!

[@Starfirahs]

Completely agree! Love this idea 😁

[@AleeyaSouza-d3k]

I was thinking the same thing

[@breeannapuett-op4pt]

Good idea!

[@lisajohns7103]

I could watch a video of you going through ALL of them frfr lol. mainly cause I like looking to see what I can come up with love the ones with the eyes and the terror card was YES. of course I love them all. So cute great ideas. ❤

[@chelleburrows1409]

I think I would start a new batch. And then compare the "old ones/first ones" skill level to where you are now! And you choose which era you want to play with! Love your videos!

[@error404webpagenotfound]

Omg yes. Or a container a year kinda thing so you can how you improve over the years. And also see what your "preferred style" that year was. I have a habit of getting stuck on a certain aesthetic. This year is jelly nails, clear nails, and Korean nail art inspired looks. Very pinky bubbly cute vibes.

[@d.on.in.a]

Yes! Imagine going through these designs in 20 years 🥺

[@Randomxvideosforyou]

Yeah same because I feel like getting a bigger jar will ruin the fun

[@cathernandez6250]

I like your dog and maybe watch your videos and I forgot you have a dog and I really like it so❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Kudos??

[@3mily_3lizabeth]

I love your hair! The colors give me kuromi vibes! I think it would be super cool if you did nails inspired by some of your different hairstyles and colors!

[@EmilySusanah]

Ty 💗 kuromi vibes is what I’m going for 😝

[@Miiiingtheebaddie]

Start a new jar

My best friend loves kuromi

[@keleeesquivel6865]

I like option B, start a new jar. And periodically go back in time and choose some older nails to again. Also, I am LOVING the purple in your hair with darker brown, it compliments your skin and eyes so well. Thanks for all the awesomeness you bring to our days.

[@TheAlexstiles]

I think that mystery stiletto acrylic is from “mixing all my glitters” as you had just gotten in so many amazing chunky glitters. 💖🫶 🌈✨🌜

[@tobiasdeutsch563]

Hi! I am German and we have a Christmas spider legend. Not sure if you have heard of it, but your Christmas/Halloween spider design made me think that legend would be right up your alley to check out!

[@mightymorphinmatt420]

i thought of that too!

[@someonesomewhere7150]

I never heard of it. Kannst du mir davon erzählen? Hört sich interessant an :)

[@jasminbegum4069]

Yeah its fascinating

[@OneDoodlingBug]

​@@someonesomewhere7150 sorry I know u were asking someone actually from Germany, but i heard the story from my grandma. The Christmas spider is supposed to be the origin story of using tinsel on the tree. It's folklore so no one is 100% sure where it started. My grandma's family roots r German tho so maybe it's a very old German folktale? Basically a family doesn't have enough money to decorate their tree, but when they wake up in the morning the tree has spider webs on it & the sunlight hit the spider webs just right that they sparkled & decorated the tree. I've heard it told a couple of different ways but that's the core of it. Sometimes the family is a single dad or a single mom, sometimes the family makes friends with the spider & spider decorated their tree as a gift. Sometimes i think God is involved. Growing up we had a spider & web tree ornament & the story was handwritten by my great grandma inside the box. I still use the ornament but it's been a long time since I read the story in the box. I should rly do that next year ❤

[@Luv_summer101]

Hallo!

[@itswhitneywatch]

Love hearing Mabel’s little floppy paws under David’s feet 😆❤️

[@audrirose1449]

It actually looks great in the container. You can just keep it there and keep filling but draw a tiny line and date it so you can see the progress

[@misslesslie2235]

I'd totally be down for a video of where you go through your nail jar and reminisce. It's also fun to compare how nail products and techniques have changed over time.

[@brittanyofhouseblackwood]

You should have your husband go through them and have him pick out a set to recreate/revamp and then start a new nail graveyard! It's so cute when you show him what you've created 💜

[@angelahurt2148]

Yes definitely do more of these! Pick out some that you really want to recreate though instead of getting possible basic ones! Would love that!

[@summerjohnson9929]

Thank you for making this long form content. I find it very comforting. Today I’m unwell with chronic conditions and watching your video was like a warm blanket. I appreciate you and the effort you put in to your channel. Love to you!

[@missMachuca]

Idk what you’ve been doing differently with your makeup but I’m obsessed!! You look so beautiful!(You always have!)

[@mars3543]

Emily is one of the only people who keeps me going, and now here I am in my senior year of high school. Thank you ❤

[@evelyncompton7089]

My favorite nail was actually the Christmas Halloween design! I love the way you created that design from your nail choices. Also, that spiderweb turned out so good! I love watching you re-create your nail picks and improving them! Love these type of videos, and really any video you make 🥰🫶 I agree with what you were saying at the end. If you sorted and took out all the plain nail designs, then left all of the more interesting ones for those to pick from. That’s a great idea!

[@agds91078]

Sweet Emily I think it’s great you saved those nails because it lets you see how you have grown with your nail techniques ❤

[@veronicaa4715]

I think it's cute you keep your husband's favorite nail in a safe place. It's the small things like that that I feel shows your love for him. ☺

[@nakrishaw]

1st, keep the jar and get a new one. Those eyes, I just love it! The glitter nail, yes of course can’t go wrong w glitter! The bumble bee and honeycomb nail was sooo precious❤ I need to buy that Apres green polish. It’s so vibrant and pretty. My favorite nails are the first and 2nd. Tyfs ❤

[@Sammi.Lynn.93]

Looking at the ending and the special box was my favorite part of the video. I have literally watched all these videos you did on all the nails I’ve seen plus most of not all the ones I seen that you were picking from. It’s amazing how far you have come. I liked watching years ago and I still love watching now, no matter how much better you have gotten. I’m saving up money to start my journey and your a big inspiration for that! Thank you!!

[@justkidding6789]

Aw David is so supportive. Y’all are so cute

[@taesha896]

You don't even need to ask! Of course we want to see as many of these videos as possible! So fun!

[@EmilyGDesign]

For what it's worth, I'd love to see more of this series. I'd love it with the same framework, with hand-picked nails, whatever! It's just such a fun concept :)

[@NeccoWecco]

The dark hair looks so nice on you! It really makes your eyes pop

[@tatyoh7]

I love these kinds of videos because it shows growth. I agree with your hubby I think each nail was significantly better than the first one. You should get a bigger jar and keep going😁

[@emitorresbun]

You could never blabber on I like the longer videos. So cute how your husband loved the nail you weren't as happy with. Thanks for taking us on this creative journey with you 💅🎨

[@JessamyNeal]

As a nail tech, nearly all the nails when you poured them from the jar looked GORGEOUS

[@jordyn7144]

i’ve been loving the purple hair!!! really makes your eyes pop and its just fits you so well💞

[@pearsrtasty3326]

They have binders where you can showcase your nails...you should try using those! :D very artistic!

[@lilmeowmeow6784]

I'm so glad you mentioned backfilling!! I like using tips with my poly gel, and I hate having to work with the tip after it's completely covered. I never even considered backfilling. Life saver!

[@ShimmersbyShannon]

33:16 i always love seeing boyfriends, husbands and dads reacting to nails bc they literally always say how AMAZING they think they are. They are so enthusiastic about it! 😅 my husband is the same exact way. And Anne Elizabeth says that whenever she shows her dad he always says theyre a work of art and they MUST be framed!

[@jessivee.1991]

Thank you for showing us the more precious nails you kept 😊❤

[@hannahtheunis6677]

new year = new jar 😍 label them with the year so you can pick a fav every year and you will see so much progress🤩 thats what i dooooooo😘

[@bethanie3244]

I just have to say, I LOVE your makeup in this video!!! Never better!

[@DinkyInky2]

I agree with David. That 'owl eye" nail is so nice(Probably because I adore owls), and I kinda of want to find ones like that and try to make owl nails. I'd get a large lidded apothecary style jar to display this batch, as well as one for the most previous batch, date when you "retired" them, and start again with the filling of this jar.

[@Lynne-LandRnails]

Wow, what an improvement 👏 ❤. Love watching you recreating your old nail designs x

[@Shelbylovesbread]

You should definitely get another jar and keep this current one. Date them and look at the accomplishments and progress you’ve made! My favorite nail for this set was the Halloween/Christmas nail!! The bee comes in second❤

[@d.m0hr621]

always love these videos! I loved the segment at the end where you picked out different nails from different sets. I LOVE the cake ones and would love to see you do more with that! 😊

[@Fureversmiles]

I'm glad you bought those eyes charms from temu. I was going to purchase them too, but I assumed they'd be too large for my shortie nails. I was right 😅. I absolutely love when you recreate old nails!! These are my favorite videos!!❤

[@sandraadams4175]

Really loving your hair. My fab you have had!

Get a bigger body size vase- put some string lights in it, every year you empty your current jar into it- then you can have it as a decoration or do specials where you "dive" in hehe ♥ Xx

Id get a larger jar. Looks like a decorative piece. 😊

I adore your art so much! I really like this series. I hope to see some more videos like this one😊 The best remedy for mosquito bites is heat! Simply take a hot water bottle with very hot water and hold it directly on the sting for as long as you can stand it. But be careful not to burn yourself! The heat destroys the enzymes in the mosquito bite serum that make it itch. After a few minutes it shouldn't itch anymore!
