[@2tzus]

These live swatches are so useful, thank you!

[@TheSalonLife]

I’m so glad! Thank you :))

[@monikabudgets9562]

I love these swatches. Gel Couture is of my favorite polish lines. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m a little sad that Ron’s huge nail beds and banter are missing from this video! Love your dynamic together.

[@TheSalonLife]

Oh he’s coming back! I’m keeping my fingers crossed, we might be able to swatch the fall CND collection if it arrives on time. Also next we might compare Essie Gel Couture to Dazzle Dry. We already did Vinylux vs. DD but I still have to edit it. Coming soon :)) Thank you for your lovely comment!

[@hannahp836]

Beautiful swatches! Also, I'm sure it was unintended, but the way the music matched with your brush strokes at 2:22 was soooo satisfying 😍

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you Hannah! :))

[@iad.s.8256]

So pretty!! My favorites are: Dress is more and Inside scoop 💗

[@connieloudetz]

I really like how you do these videos! Easy, I’m able to go through and pick the perfect color, enjoy your easy way! 👍🏻👏🏻 appreciate the time you spend and your professionalism 😉😊

Nail technician did such an amazing job painting. Beautiful colors. I feel like a good nail technician can do a color justice.

[@vfrewAl7801]

At the barre 😍 Thank you for this video.

[@heidihoglan6756]

These videos are soooooo helpful!! It is really hard to tell what the color will look like on the nail just by looking at the bottle, and I don't want to spend a ton of money on this expensive nail polish and then end up not liking the way it turns out, so thank you so much!

[@andreavalentinaperez2734]

Pinned up is my absolute favorite!

Will do :) Thank you!

I would love to see your reviews on Sally Hansen Gel polish. Thank you for sharing 🥰

[@TheSalonLife]

Hi Evelyn! I have done few videos about Sally Hansen Gel (well, it's a nail polish too). Here is one of them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joSvdnmYpKypjrM

[@evelyngonzalez8028]

@@TheSalonLife I was shocked at your results with the Sally Hansen Miracle. I have several of their colors and none of them are as thin as the black was in your comparison. I do agree with you about the brush shape and how awkward it is to use. I do have to say that I do not use their top coat as it takes too long to dry. I love their Insta Dry. I polished my nails and went to bed within minutes and absolutely no smudges. Love it 🥰 Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🥰

[@anmr3160]

Very helpful!! Thanks

¡Hola! Los enlaces para comprar los esmaltes se encuentran en la descripción.

[@maureenmcgrath4664]

TFS. I wish I could apply polish as beautifully as you. I wish even more that I could grow my nails. Too much manual labour Im afraid and genetically weak nails. It doesn't stop me from trying though. 😉 I own, Fairy Tailor, Sheer Fantacy, At the Barre and To have and to Gold.

[@luzmarinagiraldo3849]

En do de se consigue estos esmalte y cuanto cuestan

[@TheSalonLife]

Realmente depende de dónde vivas.

[@tenashearer4119]

Only a couple of these are sheer. Sheer Fantasy and Inside scoop.

[@noelthompson8932]

Does this require us light?

[@TheSalonLife]

No. I know, the name is super confusing :)

[@mimivb87]

Do you need a light for these to dry properly?

[@TheSalonLife]

No, you don't. It's a nail polish :)

[@mimivb87]

@@TheSalonLife thanks. I bought it today and it remained so sticky. However after applying the top coat everything was fine 🥰

[@TheSalonLife]

Try thinner coats and dry them in between for about 5 min if you can

[@KnutschiMichu]

Ganz schön streifig einige Farben 😐 aber nach dem 2ten mal lackieren besser 😘 manchmal 😄...

[@delaneyloghry94]

How long do these polishes take to dry?

Hi Delaney! Check out this video, lot of info on Essie Gel Couture: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iojRnXV_adWnhdk

sheer fantasy essie gell couture

[@TheSalonLife]

Yes! that too!

[@1010divajap]

helpful, but I'm finding the soundtrack distracting and disturbing.

[@Your_Favorite_Season]

Can we see these swatches on POC?

[@TheSalonLife]

Sure, but thats not up to me. That entirely depends on who has the time and patience to sit with me and model for these videos. They also need to have nice nails, regular manicures (which I offer for free) otherwise viewers are complaining that I swatch on ugly nails (seriously). Also the purpose of these videos to show the consistency and coverage of the polish. And the shade of the polish not how the polish looks against various skin tones.

[@cherryolartegallemitvlogs]

Wow very nice 🇵🇭❤️🇶🇦🙏🍒🥰🙂🌺

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you :))

[@suebabe100]

I've been doing my nails for decades and love to try new things. However, this stuff is one of the worst I've used. The polish went on streaky ( I used a brown) and the very next day I had 2 chips. That never happens with Seche, Opi, or Olive and June (for me anyway). I'm very disappointed in this product.

[@miskapiskavriska]

True. Its expensive, but not all colours are Quality 🙄

[@sadheart24]

Olive and June chipped the same day on me and this polish never chipped. Funny how it’s different for everyone.
