[@MushyPotatoes]

The way she reacted to #2 took me. She tried so hard to seem impressed. I know in her head she was like “this is some cheap ass vending machine jewelry”

[@katiegray4241]

Yes, excuse me while I put on my Apres ring, pin set, and grab my sweet keychain! LOL

[@EmilySusanah]

So glad you did a video on this! I almost bought it and after seeing inside I think I would have been a lil disappointed 😅

[@Longhairprettynails]

You definitely would have been disappointed. Cute items, but they absolutely overshot the value 😂

[@TotallyKayla]

Okay, they definitely could've done better with this advent calendar. I mean it's apres and it's their first advent calendar. I can't imagine people are going to spend this much again next year. Evie you were NOT WRONG to be disappointed in the bigger boxes having silly, inexpensive items in them. I was disappointed too lol

[@-StrawberryJamJam]

idk why brands think people want key chains and pins of their logo/products. especially from non-clothing brands. and they used such big boxes for what? two lil pages of stickers? and why did they only send snowflakes too? there arent any other shapes/things for a winter set of nails?

[@sikejae]

Considering this is their FIRST advent calendar I’ll give them a little slack but who wanna wear rings or have a keychain that says aprè? 😅 also EXTREMELY missed with not having some of the bigger packages not contain custom press ons!

[@CHRYSSIBOO]

I love that you are so honest and don't sugarcoat just because you may receive the product as PR.

[@BeGlamorousNails]

I must say the calendar is cute AF 🥰 but you’re not wrong some of the items are a little bit disappointing tho 🥺 I wish they gave a bit more items to at least make it beginner friendly to be able to accomplish a full set for the price

[@AliciaAuthentically]

Am I the only one that immediately thought about a How the Grinch Stole Christmas inspired nail set when they saw the heart cut out of the nail? SO CUTE!

[@BerryFamilyMedia]

It's embarrassing for a brand like Apres to send out PR that hasn't even been checked for quality issues, such as a nail polish with an unreadable name to an English speaking influencer. Details matter, especially at that price point. Also side-eyeing the "creator of gel-x" being plastered across the box with not a single nail tip inside. Thanks for the video Evie, glad you didn't spend your hard earned money on this product.

[@arijj8629]

The nail polish not being in English is not a big deal...😂 a lot of brands do that...And not everyone uses nail tips, which is why the gift card is useful

[@Daizy10231023]

Yeah! And considering the current owners stole the concept of Gel X from Carol (the original founder of Apres) and then kicked her out of the company makes it even more shady 🤫😮☕

[@luvrere5962]

i think yall being dramatic....ok who cares if one wasnt in english? words are not gonna hurt you. and nail tips isnt an NEED. if that isnt the case for u then use that gift card to buy u some

[@lisas164]

@@Daizy10231023THIS they completely ruined her brand

[@leahyvonne1572]

​@@luvrere5962 of course it isn't a need. None of this is a "need". It's all fairly high up on maslow's pyramid. No one is even saying it's a need, or even a big deal. This is a review, that the brand wanted. They wanted her to make this video, to share her opinion, & get our opinion as well. No one wants keychains & pins. Do *YOU* want to purchase this? Bc if not... then there u go, u get the point. If u do.... why?

[@caramelnights]

I’m so happy I didn’t get that calendar. I thought it would’ve been better since it’s their first one. I guess I didn’t miss out on anything! Thank you for showing us this.

[@arijj8629]

So glad I got it tho

[@niya6052]

​@@arijj8629why are you defending them so hard like stfu.

[@luvrere5962]

i mean....its an nail calendar?? what did you expect?

[@strawberrydip970]

This video tickled me. You can totally tell when you dont like something lol😂

[@user-lm8gh8do9m]

You know what I just love about you? I know that every time I watch a video and you pull out a bottle of whatever gel or product, you will swatch it. No question. That to me is what I love. That along with the honesty. Perfect

[@jazminemerino2158]

You should do Christmas snow globe nails, it would be really cool

[@BooCreamy]

I'm going to do snow globe nails ❄️💅💙

[@c8creates]

I really though box 12 was gonna be a box of their tips! It's a gorgeous box but I'm with you, I'm not sure the value stated is accurate. I'd still love to have the items tho. Apres gel polish is my favorite

[@catma9695]

i really thought the big box was going to be the small size of nail tips...apres could have done better to bring a festive aesthetic. And those rubber toppers...could have been cuter cause even the hand sanitizers at Bath&Body Works are more intricate

[@jewdy8915]

I have a Toyotomi as my primary heat source in my cabin in Alaska. (I have a wood stove, too.) They are popular here (and in Japan) because they require no ducting, just an exhaust vent to the outside. Mine is hooked up to a heating oil tank, but there is an option on the side of the unit where you can drop in a replaceable jug of heating oil that gets delivered to people in Japanese apartment buildings like old school milk delivery. I love my Toyo and I bet a lot of people feel the same way, hence a polish possibly being named for it. I am 100% reliant on it right now, as every winter. Toyo is life in the Arctic. I’m tempted to buy the polish just to show it to other Toyo nerds because it’s almost certainly named after the heater. Though, it does seem to translate to “rich abundance” but there was a Toyotomi clan that seems to be under some sort of disgrace…so you never know. I’m going to choose to feel that someone else loves this little efficient heater found in log cabins and old Japanese apartment buildings, though.

[@jewdy8915]

Oh, I missed the part where the name wasn’t in English…that is less fun for me. I can only read English.

[@maritzacaruth9283]

Still appreciate your input plus, maybe it's a nod to being warm & toasty during the holiday season?

[@raystimac4610]

Ok for the price, im disappointed that it doesn't come with a box of gel x. They could have done like medium square or something. I'm kinda glad I wasn't able to get it now.

[@ashleywells2264]

I don't know how much this would cost, but I'm rather disappointed that they didn't give you a box of nails in there. Give you extend gel, but nothing to use it with....maybe it's just me

[@ashleywells2264]

Omg! Not worth $200! Sorry not sorry

[@ritasutton709]

No I agree. For $300 it should come with tips and maybe even aquarium tips. The big boxes should've been filled with goodies. They really know how to rip people off.

[@nevahismine]

Nail file, base gel, two top coats, gel remover I believe are $76 on their own. Not including the other gel polishes, charms, and gems included. Even though it may not be worth it to you, understanding the cost of everything from a business prospective makes since. You can go buy each gel polish individually $15 a piece if you’d like though.

[@bargainbeauty7529]

@@nevahismine Chile... Ah good $50 would get u all this cheap (truthfully) stuff! Majority is produced in ah sweat shop 😬

[@nevahismine]

@@bargainbeauty7529 yeahhh definitely could just not off their website lol that’s why I love dupes

[@rojoy6594]

😮that box was a ripoff the amount of products you could have bought for $300. You have saved so many people from getting disappointed.

[@joseisins2341]

I actually liked it😢. But it was a ripoff for $300. Part of the reason I don't buy advent calendars anymore. Most of them are nice if you ignore the price.

[@jleaclark]

Those polishes were 🔥! But most of that stuff you can get anywhere. I wish they would have added items that really set them apart.

[@y2jaysha861]

I did candy cane nails last year for Christmas these came out so pretty! These brands aren’t beating the “we have a bunch of leftovers we need to get rid of so we’re throwing it in an advent calendar” allegations😕 the polishes were the highlight but they definitely needed some nail tips in there.

[@panicatthebrunch550]

The big boxes should have been nail tips! You can’t even make a full set with these items (without buying more tips!) you are not wrong for being a little disappointed that the big boxes were just stickers 🤦🏻‍♀️🫠 at least they gave buyers the gift card to buy some tips. But at that point it is already Dec 25 and you don’t have any tips!

[@Mrs.buildingblackwealth]

Agree

[@breheh]

agreed fr

[@jewdy8915]

They missed a great opportunity to include samples of the various tip shapes. Just enough to do one set (4 of each of the middle sizes and two of each of the large and small), especially of the more dramatic styles would make me super happy. Even giving a little setup so you could make a display of the colored tips would be fun. They weren’t thinking about all the fun ways they could get people willing to ball out for this advent calendar to buy more stuff.

[@realtalk8813]

Goes to show you how most companies just greedy to make more money smh 😐

[@xSammyxSocksx]

What a shame they didn’t include the tips

[@Nightbird_Nails]

This is definitely very disappointing and if I had bought this for myself I would be seriously considering a return. I feel a lot of the high end advent calendars this year are beautifully packaged but the products inside are low end, less expensive products from their lines and not worth our hard earned money.

[@NailsandNessa]

I'm so glad I watched this before I checked out. Pretty polishes, but it's just not worth the money, in my opinion. Thank you again for doing this. ❤

[@BooCreamy]

Heyyyy Evie!! The package was ON POINT🔥, Butttt.... I agree. I don't think it was really worth the $300 value... they DEFINITELY could have added some full covers in here and some NO WIPE bling gel lol!! 😂❤ and even at the $200 price tag, I still don't see it... I think with this you're definitely paying for the packaging! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to see you and Marcus at the LIVE 🎄❤️💚

[@eileen96338]

You blow me away with your talent with brushes ! I would love to learn to handle a Nail polish brush like that!😮

[@joseisins2341]

I loved everything in that advent calendar. I don't buy them those anymore, but I can still watch you enjoy them.

[@joseisins2341]

Looking at the comments, I guess I'm the only one who didn't care about nail tips.

[@sleepytimesounds2689]

That Gold has me in a chokehold!

[@sherryskewes]

I love the candy cane nails w/ the heart cut out! I would LOVE to wear them! Your linework was definetly on point! TFS! ❤

[@lShishkaBerryl]

Does anyone else here also watch Alexandria Ryan, I can imagine her reaction to the keychain, stickers and pins lmaoooo.

[@PressedAbout]

That is exactly what I was thinking 😂😂😂

[@corgifluff3681]

OMGGGGG totally thought of her! 🤣 She'd be dyiiinggg lawlllllll

[@kammieheff]

YESSSSS I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD DO ONE!!!!!

[@danielleb7431]

I have been waiting for someone to do this but the mystery boxes seem to have a better value

[@iamkiana731]

Very cute as a display but most def should’ve filled up the big boxes with various things if it’s wasn’t going to be tips. Two sheets of snowflakes is crazy. And the polishes aren’t even full size either. Especially for almost 200 dollars.

[@mon6745]

300 American Dowwlaasssss????? 😮 in this economy? The kit with fuller sized items are like $100-150 including a lamp, and you can get like 5 full sized bottles for the other 150 bucks. The coloura are nice tho

[@clarindapearsall6773]

Very Pretty Set Love The Colors And Designs ❤💚🤍

[@julieinthedesert420]

Disappointed wth the calendar, but your nails looked like straight candy! Just love❤❤

[@kckstyles9914]

My notifications have been on but i haven't gotten any nails and chill notifications in awhile. This was the first video notification from lhpn I've gotten in awhile actually.

[@beatrizbernardo4233]

The intro is EVERYTHING ✨

[@thescripturevault]

They built us up with that box presentation with literally nothing impressive in the whole box...maybe the gift card🤣

[@courtneycherry255]

Very cool advent box. I love the colors.

[@Pursuit_Of_A_Homestead]

Ehhh not to kill their vibe but I don’t think many people want to wear the Apres logo on rings and pins lol but the gel colors were super pretty! And the gingerbread man bottle topper was so cute 🤗 thanks for showing us what’s in the advent calendar 🥂

[@kalishajnz]

With all of the products sitting together, it doesn't look like much, lol. It's nice if you're into, though. The set is cute!! 💜

[@Deedeetkm]

Love It ♥♥♥ But I think $300 is too much, but if you like it, buy it.

[@IHateSurprises]

I was gonna take a nap but I seen Evie dropped a new video! I was gonna get the Apres calendar but it was sold out and then I saw the first review was not good.

[@oteshanailedit747]

I was so excited for this! When I opened mine only for me to drop dead! They didn’t even include any GEL-X TIPS! like come on that’s one of the main reason why people wanted to get this advent calendar! But the still love APRE THO 😂

[@EmilyMineDesigns]

Wow I would have been pissed if I bought this. People out here struggling and I just know some woman used $200 to treat herself for once in forever and she got some cheap vending machine stuff and some sample size bottles.

[@maja.vić]

Evie, don’t feel any type of way about being honest with your thoughts on the calendar. I too am having a hard time finding those 300 dollars 🕵🏼‍♀️🔎👀😅

[@JoshyJosh]

LOVE watching your videos while I do or experiment on my own nails. Especially cause I'm also not a pro and appreciate seeing some things or methods not work out

[@bytheeemmmm]

I saw this came out and I was like oh I hope Evie reviews this because I wanna see what’s inside 😄 I can’t believe this is advertised as 300$ worth of product they gave you a 3$ nail file for one day 💀💀

[@ajldeville1]

The intro is back!! Yeaaaa!!!

[@catherinejones9589]

Very beautiful set Ms.Evie❤❤❤

[@rachelno9229]

I actually love this kit. Love the branding, love the charms and the pins. It’s really cute. Very christmassy and tons of these can be used as stocking stuffers. Also love that they included so many nail colors and a flash cure lamp! Do wish they had included at least a few gel x cover tips as that is what they are known for.

[@zeliacosta1988]

Evie that's so cute those nails ❤😊

[@AmbarRivera-wq9ll]

those colors are soo great. 🔥

[@danielledurbin4697]

I think the key chain box thingy opens lol😂 but that gold is everything…soooo pretty

[@alikc25]

Cool Calendar,Great design.

[@notanotherfuckingnikki]

I can't believe they didn't have some tips like at least enough for a set.. I mean the polishes are beautiful but there's no possible way that stuff is worth $300! I'm in love with the topper Heavenly tho fr

[@KaliciasTea]

This was cute I hope they take feedback for next year. I was considering buying it since I don’t have any apres product. Maybe the big boxes will be better next year.

[@biNoelle]

I don't like that they added things that wasn't a nail product.

[@amandatix56]

You and I were oohing and awing at the same time with those glitter gels😂❤❤

[@trinettelittles1990]

I think all the shimmers are wonderful!!!! The green and red are very nice to .

[@jijibibi7315]

Thank you for being honest with your review.

[@Chelsdacheeseman]

They MUST do time for this wholeeee box.the box is CRAZY definitely could have added more 💯

[@chriswedmore]

They should have included gel-x tips. I don’t think it’s worth $200. The pins, to me, is just for filler. No one is going to Let me ask, do you prefer Apres or Kiara Sky Jelly Tips?? I’m curious on your preferences and on which one wears longer.

[@breetwitty4553]

Hey I got my giveway in the mail today I can’t wait to use my Chanel polish thank you again 💜🥰

[@juicylovekreations]

Those nails with the heart cut out is soooo cute! 😍🤗 The polish topper is nice as well. I was hoping they’d give you a box of full cover nails too. 😅

I didn't know how I felt about the heart cut outs until u finished and it wasn't bad at all

[@PolishAndPoly]

I was gonna get it and then was like idk but it’s on sale and you uploaded this soooooooo 😏 Edit: And no you’re not wrong because I’m disappointed that they’re just nail stickers and stuff too for the big boxes. Update: Nvm it’s sold out. Must be a sign.

[@caseymiller1680]

I was holding my breath when you were drawing those lines!! They look great!!

[@NanomiKagoma]

This is a very disappointing box, silly key chains,weak stickers, weak basic colors, no 🔵 polish. Good thing they sent it and Evie didn't purchase it. Thank you for the video🎉

[@NanomiKagoma]

Just to add* I was expecting cat eye polish, more stickers and charm variety

[@maritzacaruth9283]

and three apres' buttons to wear 🤭

[@NanomiKagoma]

@@maritzacaruth9283 that pissed me off. We don't work for après, why would I want a pin. Stickers would've been better. All that money went into the box n not the products 😔

Oh My Goodness it Looks So Beautiful 😍

[@claribeldejesus9332]

They deff should have put some full cover tips in there. I'm glad I passed on purchasing.

[@bklyngirlost]

The math on the price vs. the alleged value ain't mathing 😒 Also, the Toyotomi thing was bugging me. I think they were trying to be *~unique~* by not translating the color name. According to the Japan Times, it means "rich abundance" which makes sense with all the sparkle/glitter.

[@Stef_T-G]

The esthetic is totally amazing! Your video is amazing like always! For this price, the non nail items are really disappointing... The hand file, small bottles? C'mon, they're already a luxury brand, at least show it on every item. The keychain was horribly made... And Pins? The ring? 😅

[@twistedtypos2029]

I'm not into nail product but, the box is definitely the best I have seen in calenders.

[@Aurora81689]

I love the sparkles, the texture and EXTRA shine is amazing. I always love the Christmas season/ new year palettes. I'm loving the nails you did!! The white with the shimmer coat was amazing, and your line work made it over the top better. Merry Christmas

They definitely could have done a little better those pointed back stones are stupid most people dont like those would have been a nice intro to the brand for someone like me if it had some full covers and stuff like that to try the polishes wear cute though oh and i absolutely love those heart tips your set turned out so cute
