Hi guys—today I’m unboxing a Korean & Japanese nail art haul and doing full swatches so you can actually see the true colors, finishes, and textures up close. I start with the Flower Shower “ink flake” gels (Izemi) and show how they shift differently depending on what you put them over (clear/white/black). I’m not gonna lie, when I first saw them I was like… do I really need these when I already have a whole whack of flakes? But they’re so freaking pretty, and the biggest difference is they don’t do that first-open “poof” explosion everywhere. Then I get into my nuance era: I invested in the Perukā set + took the Perukā nuance class (Cookie Nails) because if I’m investing $400+ in gels, I want to actually know how to use them properly. I show the texture (medium, self-leveling, sheer but builds beautifully with basically no streaking) and talk about the biggest takeaway: trust the process—nuance nails look crazy before they look good. After that, we swatch Liuhwa’s Champagne collection (soft, subtle shimmer), Mithmillo Persona cat eyes (lipstick bottles are the cutest), Nekogel Ice Cream gels (pastel speckled “visual texture” that’s fun for accents, Frenches, and foodie vibes), HohoLee Ggulbo gels that glow in the dark (perfect for raised hearts/characters), plus a Bonnie B film sheet and two chromes over clear/white/black.
