shop with me for press on nail supplies in Korea 🛍️ HUGE gel Nail Mall in Dongdaemun, Seoul

[@Luci3113..]

(PLEASE DON’T BASH ME FOR THIS) Maybe it’s just me but…I FEEL LIKE KOREA HAS WAY MORE OPTIONS AND A BETTER VARIETY OF NAIL SUPPLIES THAN AMERICA….

[@nails.boxofhope]

I get you! maybe because Korean brands innovate so quickly whereas American styles tend to stay current for longer 🧐 deffo enjoy products from American brands too though like Apres tips, MelodySusie lamps etc. I'm grateful international shipping exists so we can buy from everywhere 😂

[@heathermullins3620]

RIGHT!!!!?????? I WANNA GO THERE!!!!!! I mean I've always wanted to go, but especially FOR THE NAIL MALL!!!!! WHAT!? and all the nail goodies that would be my dream vacation 😂

[@angellover02171]

@Luci3113.. I don't mind colors aimed at American but the formulas in Korea and Japan are much better. I'm not sure if it's just a chemical issue or a manufacturing issue.

[@BlessedBeByHisGrace]

You think America is bad on nails supplies and options you should see it here in Australia is impossible…. Can’t get anything and when you to get something you need to order it from overseas nothing here no shops with ANYTHING like this at ALL. If by some chance a store gets something tit will sell out in days and never restock it really sucks

[@heathermullins3620]

@BlessedBeByHisGrace I couldn't live there!!!! We at least can order things pretty easily, and we do have local nail supply stores. Where I live they aren't very big or stocked, but not too bad. In larger states, cities they gave bigger nail supply shops, huge ones! My little small town has a decent one...... as beautiful as Australia is, I just couldn't live in a place that I can't get my nail supplies!!! I'd be lost!

[@yesenianieves7832]

I wouldn’t have any self control in that store. So many pretty colors in polishes and the stickers, charms WOW😍

[@nails.boxofhope]

yesss! & it's even harder to resist when you're in holiday mode 😭😂 everything was so pretty!!

[@robertadaniel3676]

Wow😮It’s really nice to see everything that is available. I could get lost in this store for hours. So much to look at and choose from. You must have really enjoyed this visit. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

[@nails.boxofhope]

seriously! I was staying nearby so I broke my shopping up into a few trips (each lasting like 2 hours hahaha). it was nice to see with my eyes rather than opening 50 different internet tabs to compare 😂 thank you for watching 🤍

[@okaka-sanfilmeedition8971]

This video was sooo peaful to watch, rlly enjoyed that they have this many of variety for products

[@nails.boxofhope]

Omg that’s so kind, thank you for such a lovely comment! Made me smile 🥰 yes! So fun to shop such a variety in person 🥹

[@linzzzanity]

4:07 I'm drooling at that nail sticker wall.

[@nails.boxofhope]

@@linzzzanity it was honestly insane to shop 😭

[@linzzzanity]

@ It was obvious you were overwhelmed when you started down the main aisle and couldn’t decide which section to start with. 😆💅

[@heathermullins3620]

IM DROOLING OVER THE ENTIRE STORE!!!!!! I would spend all day in there! And go back the next day! They would have to run me out at closing time! 😂 BUT THAT STICKER WALL THOUGH! OH MY NAIL GOODNESS! I WANNA GO THERE SO BAD!

[@ambarrose]

I would be so overwhelmed.

[@nails.boxofhope]

@@ambarrose yeah, it’s a lot to navigate😭🤣

[@klarasmetana3136]

Wow, this is my idea of shopping paradise!😮

[@nails.boxofhope]

Yesss it was so fun 🥹

[@heathermullins3620]

This is literally my dream vacation! (Dont get me wrong id love to go to exotic places, tons of places for vacation with my family, and for scenery. but my dream shopping vacation type of thing! And just for me! Ive always wanted to go to Korea too, but now I HAVE TO GO!) Id be there from open til close, go back next day and do the same! I could literally spend days in there! They would be running me out! OH I WANT TO GO HERE SO BAD! THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS WITH US!!!!!!! this was so damn satisfying to watch! Lots of love anf god bless ❤🙏❤️

[@z_bennet4208]

Omg you have such an ethereal beauty!

[@t.athyna]

this is like a dream shop, I wish we had something like this in France.

[@nails.boxofhope]

right! same here, I wish there was something like this in England (but maybe it's best for our wallets that there isn't hahaha) 😭

[@Zahara-y5q]

I’ve been thinking of going to Korea again just for the jello jello gell remover lol because online it’s so expensive

[@nails.boxofhope]

loool what a mood 🤣 igy! I usually pick up the JelloJello remover on TesterKorea or BeautyBoxKorea for this reason ☺

[@marleenkuba5129]

You were in nail heaven 😍🥰

[@nails.boxofhope]

yesss! 🥰

[@kdramalogic]

Thanks for showing how to go there bc I could not find it went into migliore every floor and no one could tell me

[@nails.boxofhope]

Looool yeah I was going up and down for about 20 mins in migliore at first 🤣😭

[@kdramalogic]

Yes I was so mad too and I knew I was close bc Naver maps said I was there and I gave up but whne I go back to korea in the Spring I will finallly go! ❤

[@me0wlo]

[@MarjNewton26]

Omg I would love to go there

[@ghhgghhggh7749]

Gel polishes since they are expensive I’ve also noticed they are like 20-30 dollars cheaper there than on sites

[@nails.boxofhope]

@@ghhgghhggh7749 yesss seeing the colours irl is so nice too!! 🤩

[@brianamcintyre6988]

God bless you for making a directions video😭😭😭🙌🙌🫶🫶😭 i hope to go there one day soon also how much was your trip if you dont mind me asking you should make a shorts abt it 😳

[@nails.boxofhope]

@@brianamcintyre6988 hahaha right, I kept going up and down escalators in my Korea vlog because I was in the wrong part of the building 🤣😭 glad to save others the confusion haha. Hope you can visit soon too!! my trip was to Korea & Japan so a bit difficult calculate individually but I’ll cover a bit more on pricing in my upcoming nail haul video!

[@brianamcintyre6988]

@ thats so cool!!! Excited for more videos like these 😆😆🤍🙏

[@melme33]

Holy crap it's SO nice to see full 15ml+ nail polishes for sale.. I am forced to shop online and that's my biggest peeve is them selling miniscule amounts and not the full 15ml. That Yogurt section almost made ME pass out! 😂

[@nails.boxofhope]

True!! Tbh it’s very rare I’d use up a 15ml colour / special gel but it’s nice to have full size bottles - also love the premium quality of the bottle designs 🥹 yeee the Yogurt nail section was a dream!!

[@melme33]

@nails.boxofhope I know but I got a box of 5ml colors and that upset me lol. Cheers! Enjoy your cool shop trips!

[@janetofshegatherswellness5403]

I wish I was Into nails when I lived there 🤦🏽‍♀️ then I was into pens stickers and stationery. Which there’s plenty of that too. But dang such a missed opportunity lmboooooo 😅

[@nails.boxofhope]

@@janetofshegatherswellness5403 ooh nooo, picked up stickers but a different kind of sticker 😭 do you travel back often? Hoping you can visit one day soon! 🫶🏻

[@janetofshegatherswellness5403]

@ I was born in Japan and lived in Korea as well but I was an army kid so it was free (for me anyways 😂) so I haven’t been back in some time bc I’m our families (my hubby is an army kid too - born in Germany) have retired 🥹. They deserve to be retired. But free and discounted overseas trips are priceless lmboooo literally!!

[@hadyarohin]

omg im so so jealous😭😭🩷my friend is going to korea next month so hopefully i can convince her to stop here for me. thanks for showing everything off!!🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@nails.boxofhope]

@@hadyarohin yesss, my friend did the same for me last year. I gave her a list with photos & the staff helped her shop for me - hopefully you can do the same! 🥰 happy to share, thank you for watching!

[@Jana-ef4ig]

I wish I went to this store when I went there but I was with family. Did you see any HEMA free products? Wondering if it's worth to buy the collections there vs ordering from Zillabeau since it'll be cheaper there but I'm worried about suitcase weight.

[@nails.boxofhope]

deffo somewhere best visiting by yourself (or with nail friends haha). They do have seating outside for family/friends though ☺️ I didn't specifically look for HEMA-free, I'm sorry 😔 could check on their website for all the brands and compare ingredients! deffo cheaper to buy from the Nail Mall, but yes I would just consider suitcase weight - most other nail things are really lightweight so it's just the gels/bottled ingredients to consider.

[@evilbookworm]

Ahhhh I have some of the stickers you picked out so I feel like I made good decisions getting them. My mom was visiting korea recently and I was going to ask her to go to this store but I thought it would be overwhelming for her bc I didn’t know what brands and collections they would have in stock. I’m glad I didn’t ask her to go, there’s soooooo much stuff she would have been confused.

[@nails.boxofhope]

@@evilbookworm ooh! Where did you pick up the stickers from? think I can pick up Tomomi from Temu but wondering if somewhere else stocks them 👀 deffo a good choice! Yes, it was very overwhelming at first (in a good way though hahhaa) 😭 but the staff are really kind so if you have a list next time I am sure they can help!

[@nicolelast230]

Amazing. Thanks for sharing this. Would you share the price comparrison? Curious. I'm in the states.

[@nails.boxofhope]

yes sure! from my footage/memory this is roughly a breakdown of prices: Yogurt nail kr Gingerbread collection (92000 won; 65 USD) Yogurt nail kr individual gels (14000; 10 USD) stickers (1000-2000 won/sheet; 0.70-1.40 USD) charms (400-800 won/pack; 0.30-0.60 USD) things like the Diami pincure flash cure lamp was 40000 won (30 USD) too. so definitely a lot cheaper (no import taxes/fees etc) but also dangerous because it's easy to spend a lot 🤣 hope this helps!

[@nicolelast230]

@@nails.boxofhope thank you!!!!

[@Lizardsbreathnails]

My dream store.

[@nails.boxofhope]

@@Lizardsbreathnails truly! 😩💕

[@melissageorge2915]

This is my dream!! To travel to South Korea just to shop for nail supplies!!! Did you find that they are cheaper than we can get them for here in the US? ❤❤❤

[@nails.boxofhope]

yesss, it felt unreal shopping in person and not through a screen 🤣 yes, things were generally 30-50% cheaper than online (though there'll be import taxes/fees etc so it makes sense!)☺

[@nails.boxofhope]

what kind of gel nails product would you want to shop most in person? 👀 definitely gotta be chrome powders & cateye gels for me (seeing the colour shifts irl !!) 🐱

[@nicolelast230]

Depending upon the prices, the acual polishes I think. And then like you, things that I don't see much of online.

[@aliciasmith9079]

Anything liquid (gels, 3d gel, inks, builders)! They seem quite a cheaper than North American retailers. There's also a store called Saracen in Seoul that ships internationally that I would love to go to😍

[@nails.boxofhope]

@@aliciasmith9079 whaaat I had never heard of Saracen before but just browsed the website and !!!! - Thank you for sharing 🤍 they stock DVOK individual shades 😭 Have you ordered from their site before? If so, how much was shipping?

[@brianamcintyre6988]

Same! I cant wait to go there soon

[@brianamcintyre6988]

Girl your camera looks amazing which one do you use😭🤍🙏🫶🙌

[@reneebarnes2798]

Do they have a website that we could buy from?

[@nails.boxofhope]

I’ve linked the site in my description but I’m not sure if they do international shipping 😞

[@Whodis_newphone]

How where the prices? Imagine coming back through customs with a full suitcase of nail polish....😂

[@nails.boxofhope]

very reasonable, I'd say around 30-50% cheaper than importing ☺ I'll cover pricing in my upcoming haul video too!
