hi and welcome back to my channel or welcome if you are new if you are new and you like makeup beauty hair or hauls then please consider subscribing so i have been sent a selection of nail goodies from madame glam i’ve worked with them a couple of times before in the past this video isn’t sponsored it’s just gifted all opinions are honest and my own as always but yeah they have sent me two little boxes i love this packaging i think it’s so nice and then inside i’ve got a selection so i have some gel

polishes which are these three here so we have this one here called uh spring in paris which is a really lovely like muted pink nude color so yeah i think this is absolutely beautiful i want to get this on my nails as soon as possible it’s a lovely lovely color and then there’s also this really nice kind of a bright almost like a magenta shade which is called pop pop the champagne so this one looks like this absolutely beautiful it’s like a a pinky purple i would say but it’s a really lovely like bright shade

really nice for toes as well and then i also have this absolutely gorgeous holographic one which looks like this it’s like a pinky purply toned holographic

shade absolutely stunning and that was called hollow lover and then i also have this little pot of uh tulip pink pudding gel really curious about these because i’ve heard good things about them i’ve had them compared to um what was it i don’t know if they’re still around now it was a husband and wife i can’t remember the name but everyone used to have these like gel nails that were

biosculpture um and yeah i’ve heard it compared to that and it’s like a really thick gel formula like really thick it’s almost like you know you can you can touch it and it’s it just like does that it’s you know not like a gel polish or anything it’s very thick and i think it’s quite hard wearing as well so yeah i got that color which is a really lovely like barbie pink almost which again i thought would look really nice on fingers or toes and then i’ve also got a couple of these poly gels so

let me take out the plastic so these come in these tubes there’s 30 ml in each tube and i’ve got two of the blush peony ones which is like um a kind of french pink shade and yeah i really want to try these i wanted to try like a decent polygel brand for a long time now i’ve always gotten really well with madame glam so i’m really excited to try them um they’re quite affordable as well you know when you bear in mind how much you paint a nail salon or whatever these are really affordable

for doing on your own nails at home what i’m gonna do oh i’ve also got i’ve also got the jewel forms as well so these are they’re kind of like let me show you one i’ve just grabbed a random size but yeah they look like this so they have the the measurements on them and everything and you can use these actually to you can either create that one you can either create your own extension without a tip or anything or you can use tips and then use these over the top as well so yeah i’m

going to use those with the poly gel i’m probably going to do that tonight actually so i’ll get it up for you as soon as possible but i’m really excited to try those out as well because i’ve never tried them before and i’ve heard really good things about them so what i thought i’d do is do my nails with these or the poly gel and then i’m going to put that um that pudding gel over the top as well and then lastly they sent me a nail file which is really nice a 100 180 grit

file and a brush this is really lovely actually it’s really nice so i’m not sure what size this is looks to me about an 8 or a 10 but it’s like a gel brush so yeah it’s just a flat gel brush really really nice it feels nice and soft as well and it feels really good quality so obviously i can use that with the polygel and the pudding gel as well so yeah i’ve got that and then i’ve also got these are beautiful they’ve just brought out some press-on nails so these ones are right up

my street they’re kind of like um gold leaf with a blue design on them as well really pretty and i’m also going to do a video on this so you’re going to get three videos out of this slot today i’m going to do a gel pedicure and then i’m going to do one with the press-on nails because a lot of you have asked how i i mean i’ve pinned one off this morning but a lot of you have asked how i get my press-on nails to last so long because i normally get about one and

a half weeks out of them and it’s all to do with the prep so what i’m gonna do is do a separate video on that for you doing these nails and then i’m also gonna do a polygel one i’ll probably do the polygel one first and then do the press ons after so anyway enough rambling uh i just wanted to show you what was in the boxes really i am gonna do a gel pedicure as i said today so i’m gonna be using the hollow lover shade which is that really gorgeous like holographic pinky purple

color uh yeah and i’m gonna basically show you what i do and do a little voiceover as i go through it so first i’m gonna take the alexa cuticle oil and i’m just gonna pop this on the base of my cuticles and then just use that to push back my cuticles so i’m just getting rid of obviously any of the excess cuticle that’s over my nail because obviously i don’t want that underneath the polish to cause air to get in and then it will cause it to lift off then i’m going to take a this

is a non-acetone polish remover but obviously you can use acetone as well i’m just going to get rid of any of the excess cuticle oil that’s in on my nail obviously i don’t want any of that left on there because that will also cause the gel to lift off then i’m going to take my nail file so this is a 100 over 180 grit i’m going to use the finer side and just file the free edge of my nail when i file i go from the outside and then to the middle of the nail i’m

now taking my buffer so this is quite a fine buffer all i’m doing is using this to buff over the top surface of my nail i find doing this just helps the gel to stick a lot better because it’s a rough surface but obviously you don’t over buff the nail either because you don’t want it to to make it thin or anything like that so just a nice light buff all over the surface of the nail and then once i’ve done that i just take a nail brush this is just a normal like rough nail

brush that i just used to remove the dust and then i’m going to take my ph bond this is actually a jellish product but you can use whatever one you want this just removes any protein oils anything like that on the nail surface and it’s it’s really good actually for before prepping any type of nail so i’m going in with my base coat this is the peel off base coat from madame glam i’m just going to apply this to obviously the base of the nail i like to work quite slowly with it and kind of

go and build it up rather than put it on quite thickly i just find it works a lot lot better if you go in kind of slow thin layers just making sure that you get every little bit of the nail and obviously tapping that free edge there as well i normally use my nail just to kind of you know scoop away any that’s gone on to my skin i just find it works better that way but use whatever you wish so i’m just going to cure that for 30 seconds in my led lamp so this

is the beautiful hollow lover gel polish so this is really really nice it’s quite a thick formula it’s not too runny so again you don’t want to put too much on you don’t want it to be too thick because it can when you cure it it can go all bubbly and some parts of it can’t cure properly so yeah again nice thin layers build it up if you need to i just use two coats but you know you can build it up and use three if you want and then once you’ve done all of the

nails you just need to cure that again in the led lamp for it says 30 seconds i like to do it for 60 just to make sure so exactly the same process as the first coat and then obviously curing it again for another 30 to 60 seconds again and then lastly i’m going to go in with my base coat so this is a soak off base coat this is one that leaves a tacky layer afterwards so you have to remove that top tacky layer so don’t take it out the lamp thing oh no it’s not

dry that is perfectly normal it should be like that so again just applying this in nice thin strokes again not too thick but obviously making sure that you cover all of the polish that you’ve put on beforehand and capping that free edge as well and then once you’ve done that cure it for another 60 seconds so this is me taking off that top tacky layer so you can use there are removers that you can use for it i just use them on acetone nail polish to be honest i think i find it works just as

well and it’s a lot cheaper but use whatever you want to so as you can see they’re nice and smooth afterwards and shiny so i’m just going to take some cream just to pop on my feet this is the cocoa and eve moisture with body cream but obviously use whatever you like to use i’m just going to massage that all over my feet to excuse my dodgy fake tan on my feet it’s nearly time to come off and then once again using that elixir cuticle oil just again on the base of my cuticles and giving

it a good massage in just to make them nice and nourished and yeah not not too dry really so here is the finished result i think it’s really really pretty it actually looks a bit more silver on camera but it is quite pink in person so yeah it is supposed to be pink but yeah look at that holo it’s just really really beautiful the way it reflects with the light absolutely stunning so yeah there we go all pretty i like to have you know sort of polished toes especially this time of year when you’ve got

them out you know with sandals on and everything really nice lovely lovely polish though for two coats it actually covered really really well and it sparkles beautifully in the sunshine and you get that really nice holographic sort of color shift through it as well absolutely beautiful really really nice so i do have a discount code for madame glam which i will link below for you i think it’s about 30 so it’s quite a good discount but i’ll pop that in the description box below along with any links to any products used in today’s video as
