YYYAAASSS THE QUEEN HAS ARRIVED!!! Hey Emily I hope you’re doing well and hubby and the puppers too!!!

[@EmilySusanah]

Thank you 💗💗

[@emilydellbeni6998]

Hi I know you aren't talking about me but I hope you are doing well too

[@ariruscitti]

i think this is one of my favourite aqua nail sets you've ever done. the nail art you did after, for each nail, being so simple really made sure it didn't take away from the glitter inside the nail.

[@martianmartinis]

This nail kit by Ballpit has me feeling nostalgic! Those 90's goosebump novel vibes are SICK!!!!

[@breidowell]

Right!?! I read those goosebumps books and had a whole little collection! Remember when they did a Goosebumps TV show? Sadly by that point I had gotten a little too old to be into it at that point 😢

[@hopiedopie7440]

I was looking for this comment I’m a huge old days goosebumps fan!

[@oliviapadilla6237]

I literally thought omg that looks like goosebumps!! So glad I’m not the only one

[@britnikpow8445]

BY FAR the best aquarium set you’ve done. They actually move this time!! 😂😂 they look awesome!!

[@ElizabethJackson-bd3jz]

Yep, these have gotta be your best aquarium nails so far

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

I love the blood spatter nail! I recently watched a video by Miss Jo's Nail Co where she made aquarium nails by putting 2 tips back to back so they formed kind of a cylinder and they turned out really good, with a lot of room for movement. I think it would be a fun technique to see you try! Also, those black spiderweb nails are spooky season perfection!!🖤🕸🖤

[@urban-mutt]

Recently I rewatched all your videos and got finally brave enough to try doing my own nails with gel polish! Your videos got me into this new hobby but I never had courage to try it, but now I did and damn! I definitely will order more stuff to do! Nails turned out okay and still hold on and it was almost a week at this point so I think it's a success x) Thank you for teaching me and giving me some strength to do this! ❤ (It really helped me to go through my depressive episode too, so double win!)

[@EmilySusanah]

🥰💗

[@alexishawkins8920]

​@@EmilySusanah I can't agree more with night-ambient, your videos help not only to teach me, but they've also gotten me through a lot in my life, such as depression, being sick, ect.. . I absolutely love and adore your work/art, I've followed you for quite some time now, and I don't know if I've missed it or not, but I was wondering why you have a lisp? I don't think anything is wrong with it, in fact I absolutely adore it because it makes you, you. I'm just simply wondering as to why you have it is all, I mean no harm/foul or anything of the sort, just simply curious 🤔🤗🥰😘🤟🏼💜💋❤️💙🫂🙏🏼😉 All love and respect to you and yours from me and mine here in North Carolina USA ❤😊

[@Jaiya15]

I rlly wish u added holographic knives in the scream on I think I would’ve added a lil wow to it but its still rlly cute❤

[@Brindeski]

I would love an in depth video about as many nail tips as possible the way you showed the differences here! It’s so hard to choose online without knowing how they’ll fit or look

[@hailtothefire_]

I watched Long Hair Pretty Nails use the Dash kit and she tried out a thing where she made it a full aquarium nail. The way she did it was pretty brilliant.

[@melissaevans4396]

Those Black and purple nails you have on are absolutely stunning! ❤ 💋

[@kristenatkinson4105]

I would LOVE if you did a video explaining what all the different nail products actually are/do. Primer, base gel, the gel you use to adhere tips, builder gel, polygel, etc. There are SOOOO many products out there and all of them have "gel" in the name so it gets very confusing what is interchangeable and what is used in each step. Since you're self taught I know you understand the struggle 😭😭

[@135weston]

Omg the eyeball nail in the sun is CHEFS KISSSSSSS

[@mirandastratton9270]

The eyeball one in the sunlight was spectacular! Amazing job on this whole set.

[@breidowell]

THANK YOU for explaining the e nail tips! I love love love max’s products but every time I want to order tips I get really confused and end up with things that don’t work on my nails…I would LOVE a video where you go through it all! ❤

[@CallMeAL1]

I developed an allergy to something in my nail products this year. For now we're assuming it's Hema. Hema-free products don't cause the same reaction as far as I have noticed but this occurring has devastated my fingers. the first allergic reaction became infected across all of my fingers and my nail beds have suffered greatly. It's a bummer for sure but I'm working on letting my hands heal for a longer time frame before testing new Hema-free products (particularly glues in my case). 2024 is Going to be my next big nail era for sure! In the mean time I am making press on nails for friends!

[@EmilyMineDesigns]

This is the main reason why I'm so pressed they're selling this stuff with no ingredient labels, that I can see at least.

[@jessande6804]

The same thing happened to me, it took months to clear up. I almost lost a nail. I use regular polish now pretty much

[@jessande6804]

I tried Light Elegance gel , I wanted to try one last time using gel. It worked for me, I just did one nail though to test.

[@lindseyquinn_]

I tagged you on a couple of their posts. It just looked right up your alley! Whether you saw these on my tags or stumbled upon them yourself I look forward to watching the video! Just had to say hi first! Happy October Emily! Hope you and your fam are doing well. 🖤

[@mommydearest1]

i’ve said it once and i’ll say it again: I LOVEEEE YOUR DARK ROOT IT GOES SO GOOD WITH YOUR EYES AND SKIN TONE PLZ KEEP 😍😍❤️❤️❤️

[@jasminegarvin1249]

Ohh that one polish out in the sun *chef's kiss* 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@jewdy8915]

Keep the long videos coming. It may take me a few weeks to watch, but I will always watch…even if I’m probably never going to do an aquarium nail no matter how good you get at them.

[@laneehansen]

The tip comparison is so useful! I find it so confusing trying to choose and that really helped!

[@aprilshorty4094]

I've been checking to see if you uploaded everyday and when I turned on my iPad and saw your notification I can't explain the happiness that I felt. Enjoy your weekend everyone 😊❤

[@judy1111]

I like the aquarium nails. Good job. But I’m dying for those black spiderweb nails. You can never go wrong with black and pink. 🖤💞

[@135weston]

When you said you didn’t know what to do for the scream nail I was literally screaming do blood spatter!!!!!! So happy you did ❤️❤️❤️

[@bxbyp]

your hair looks amazing as always. I hope you are doing well emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

[@mintycherub]

I love that you're talking about HEMA and you've clearly looked into it :')

[@lauravampire1276]

I’m absolutely in love with the final set! I’ve seen so many success videos with nail artists and enthusiasts using this kit or method. It’s so smart!

[@angiesims6708]

So cute! Love seeing all your creations come to life

[@candice283]

I’m obsessed with the eyeball and dark glitter nail especially in the sunlight omg so prettyyyy😍😍😍

[@MyJustMeHere]

[@lucybraid2154]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos, they help with my anxiety so much ❤

[@jleaclark]

Those turned out perfect! I loved all of them! And I’m proud to hear you talk about allergies. ❤

[@ciaracurtis7855]

Probably my favorite set you’ve ever done. So simplistic but over the top at the same time!

[@tattoedpassport]

Emily thank you for being honest and say a set of nails can take multiple days!!!! Cuz I literally will do a step a day 😅

[@ryubiskj]

these all turned out so good!! cant even decide on a favourite bc they all are so funky in their own way

[@kristinebaker5477]

Emily, these are the bomb 💣 they came out so beautiful. I’ve learned watching you that you have never given up on these aquarium nails 💅🏻 💙🥰 Great work 🎉

[@oandptech]

Yes please! Do a comparison! That will make ordering later so much easier ❤❤❤

[@_turnips_]

These turned out soo cuteee I love the black glitter nail the most 💖💖💖💖

[@heidikuusisto3602]

Oh can't wait to watch this!!! Nothing IS better than waking up and seeing new video from Emily!!! ☺️☺️☺️

[@photogbrandie5744]

I’m in love with your pointer nail. So so pretty!

[@marisal196]

they look so so so good !! i love how clear they look and that they don't seem too bulky. the way the clearish blue shimmer gel looks like in the sunlight 🤚 top notch

[@RoTaylor78]

Those are super cute! Definitely my fav aquarium set for sure🤗

[@justbeingme99]

Omg those look amazing, your artwork is so awesome. Love to watch your videos. Keep being amazing, watching your videos has gotten me to do my own nail and I want to thank you for sharing your talent with the world.

[@jasminegarvin1249]

[@kathyb6519]

Awesome set! Loved it in the sunlight.

[@sophia5047]

i think this might be one of my fave sets you ever did! I actually think all the nails go perfectly with each other it looks very purposeful and the details are really well placed. they looked amazing inside but when I saw them in the sun my jaw dropped!! so gorgeous u really popped off queen

[@habeybaby77]

[@amberford300]

I really like the blood splatter and candy wrapper nails. You did good. These videos are relaxing for me so thank you for making them

[@BetaTestaburger]

They are soooo pretty 😍😍😍 eventho this was a kit to make it "easier" im so impressed i would never be able to pull this off! So so gorgeous

[@sierram9573]

The tip demonstration was really helpful!! I would love to see more of that, I’m still trying to figure out what works best for my nails

[@marinewe_]

omg you did an amazing job with this set! looove it so much!

[@banesse5592]

Ahh I love this set so much! The blue shimmer in the sunlight made the eye one take first for me but the splatter mask was a close second.

[@indybun64570]

Both the previous one (on your right hand) and current set are so BEAUTIFUL 😍

[@facebyjess3187]

Amazing job! I love the blood splatter one and the black holo one ❤

[@giannasky1609]

[@shannajenkins6289]

I love love love that you can go from beautiful feminine nails to ghoulish freaky nails! Your skill set is amazing!

[@krystalstiles4087]

They look absolutely amazing I have to say the bluish glitter one and the mask were my favorite

[@christinacapen8926]

I like what you decided to do with the scream mask nail they blood splatter is awesome. I really like the first nail you did the darker color on the back of it really made that nail pop

[@MegaDerpification]

The “cause..eyes typically comes in sets of two” made me laugh quite a bit lol! Love the vid as always :)

[@BetaTestaburger]

Yaaaaaay im so happy to get to watch you make beautiful things before going to sleep!

[@09lenz]

The scream nail is awesome!!! My favourite too

[@nakrishaw]

Ok, these turned out so cool! I’ve seen only 1 other person do this technique. Love it

[@ballpit_nails]

Omg thank you SO much this video is awesome!!! Noted about the caps, so sorry about that 😅 a few other people brought that up I’ve actually already spoken to my supplier about it!! 😝 THANK YOUUUUUU!

[@EmilySusanah]

🥰💗

[@jukeboxnailz]

Glam and glitz use to have a aqua nail kit like a few years back I still have the kit. But I like how these are longer nice thanks for sharing ❤

[@breidowell]

Yaaaayyyy! I love them all but i think my favorite is the thumb with the pumpkins and slime. I just bought this DASH aquarium kit and received it a few days ago so this video is perfect timing! (They are bound to sell out now) thanks Emily! You look beautiful and it makes me so happy whenever you post a new vid ❤❤❤

[@strawbrrysundae]

These aquarium nails just get better as they go on. This set is by far my favorite

[@P4NC4KEZ]

Oh my gosh these came out so great! Seriously, amazing job!

[@laurawitkowski3234]

These are so sick!! Love love love 🎃🦇🩸

[@scotgirl778]

Can't tell u how happy a new video makes me YAYYYYY! Thanks Emily! (And David😊!)💜❤

[@amandahill7540]

Scream and the ones with the drips are my fav, but they all look amazing

[@BooCreamy]

Heyyyy Emily!!! So excited you uploaded today!!! Always love a video from you beautiful and aquarium nails!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@CV3nus]

Absolutely love these! They turned out so clear and pretty 😍

[@bethwarren731]

Thank you so much for saying that if you do your own you do them in multiple days. I thought I was the only one that did that and I have got on to myself so many times about not being able to speed it up. Love the nails by the way❤

[@deyanajackson23]

Those are absolutely beautiful Emily 😍

[@Imaburrito69]

These turned out amazing as always

[@janice338]

Hey Emily 👋 the color is teal. They are all lovely. Nice to see you again. I enjoy your videos

[@brittanynorenberg8014]

I’m obsessed with these. This set is absolutely gorgeous. I love spooky season it’s my like all year round vibe. These are everything.

[@runningwithchickens]

These turned out AMAZING!

[@MarraNarra]

This kit is so cool to see! Iv'e been doing this method but with acrylic and nail forms or foil. Same exact thing using full cover tips and just making the globe" with acrylic and adding in mineral oil. Def trying the method with gel!

[@julieinthedesert420]

Yay, I'm so happy to see you! These are just so dang cute! I love your art and style so so much! Can't wait to see you again and what you have in store. ❤❤

[@julieinthedesert420]

Oh and I love that you chose Sweet Life patty gel by Evie. It went so well with the set and all the holo-sparkles.

[@jordinplayzz]

Yayyyy 😊 thank you Emily for another video!! This just made my day ❤

[@oilygirlcharlottegarcia6197]

These are so cute. Definitely going to try to do these.

[@jflowers5045]

I love the scream mask nail with the blood splatter🩸❤️ it looks so good

[@ptszpwr783]

Very nicely done Emily!!! Tfs!!!

[@mookzmom]

I crave all your vids. You always teach me something new and inspire me to keep trying.❤

[@mickirosanails]

Coolest aquarium nails I've seen!!

[@Ushygushy103]

I always get so excited to watch your videos. I started it last night but was so exhausted I fell asleep

[@Mayra-Alejandra]

These are AWESOME, Emily! Great job!! 💞 I loved the entire set. I typically stick to almond-shaped nails but these make me want to experiment a little more 🥰

[@LydiaKrow]

These are probably the best aquarium nails I've seen yet! That black holo is so lovely, and I don't think you had too much black glitter - it looked so good especially with the jellly black over it.

[@TrashyBoo]

These look sooo cool! Amazing ☺️☺️☺️

[@user-go1px9kt1v]

Loved the nails, fave pumpkin thumb. Your speech is so much better now, so does the lisp & “ like” “ so” 😋

[@RainOnKing]

Those are so incredible!

[@evelien3222]

Awesome ❤❤❤❤ the candy one was my favourite

[@feliciaekvall2811]

Omg yessss new video from my fave 🥰🩷
