Welcome to Nail Narrative, the goal of this channel is to change the narrative on nail safety and prove that safe nails don't have to equal boring ones. 💅

As someone with a medically confirmed acrylate allergy, I personally test "hypoallergenic" products so you don't have to! 🧪 When I got my allergy I felt incredibly alone and no one would answer my questions, so I sought out the answers myself. Now I strive to be the person I wish I had when I became allergic. Join me as I share my research, fun nail art, holy-grail products, and tips I've learned from over 14 years of doing my own nails.

❤️ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL ❤️

I buy everything I test with my own money. If you find my videos helpful, please consider supporting the channel by shopping through my Amazon Storefront! Purchases made through my links help me buy more products, all at no extra cost to you. Thank you for your support!

THE VIDEO IS LIVE! 🚨

It finally happened... a nightmare for a gel allergy girly. 🫣

I was putting the budget-friendly brand Tencoco to the ultimate test when I accidentally smeared uncured gel DIRECTLY ON MY SKIN. 😱

In today’s video, find out if it caused a severe allergic reaction, see my honest review of the formula (and those brushes... 👀), plus watch me create this super cute Christmas Mani! 🍪🎄

Is Tencoco a safe budget alternative or a hard pass?

🚨 EXPOSING AMAZON NAIL BRANDS 🚨

Are your favorite budget gels (Modelones, Gaoy, Makartt, MelodySusie) actually safe? I did the digging so you don't have to. 🕵️‍♀️

In today's video, I emailed the most popular Amazon brands to get their Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and what I found was SHOCKING. 😱 From redacted ingredient lists 🚩 to "HEMA-Free" polishes containing 45% HEMA... we need to talk.

Find out who is lying about being "safe" and which budget brands might actually be okay.

⏰ Premiere: TODAY at 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT!

See you in the comments!

My last video came from a place of anger. I called out the "user error" crowd and expected a huge backlash. Instead... you all supported me. And honestly? It made me realize something important.

I don't want to be a "mean girl." I don't want to tear others down, even when they're wrong.

In today's video, I'm getting real about why that "gotcha" moment felt so empty, letting go of my hero complex, and how I want to move forward with kindness and science. ❤️

It’s time for a reality check. 🚫💅

My response to the "it’s user error" crowd is LIVE NOW!

Grab your tea ☕, because this one has a little "mean girl energy."

I’m just so tired of the victim-blaming in the nail community. In this video, we’re diving into the comment section of folks who are fed up with hearing about allergies and discussing why you aren’t necessarily "better" than those with contact dermatitis, you might just be LUCKY. 🍀

Is it possible to find a relatively safe gel polish for under $5? 🧐💸

I've gotten so many requests to review Xeijayi (the brand from SHEIN and Temu), so I decided to put it to the ultimate test.

In my new video, dropping TODAY, I'm diving deep into their SDS sheets, testing their "Russian Matte" top coat, creating a full tortoise shell design 🐢, and most importantly, testing it on my own skin to see if it flares my allergy. 😱

Is this finally the budget-friendly alternative we've been waiting for?

⏰ Premiere: TODAY at 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT!

See you there!

Better late than never! 😅

My review of HONA (Home of Nail Art) is NOW LIVE! 💅

I know I'm about 3 hours late (thank you for your patience today as I navigated that nasty situation, besties ❤️), but I promise this one is worth the wait. We are taking a much-needed break from the negativity to look at a UK brand that is setting the bar high for transparency and safety.

Is the high price tag actually worth it? Let's find out!

Hey besties unfortunately the video I had planned for this week where I test HONA is going to be a few hours late because I had to stop editing to address all the lies in a video that was made about me. Here is the link to that video: https://youtu.be/_dvLmDaaXro

I wish I could say that this kind of stuff doesn't affect me and not give it the light of day but I have worked really hard to establish trust and put out good information and it hurts when someone says I have ulterior motives especially when that person is making commission off selling these products. I look forward to getting back to more positive content because I absolutely loved HONA and next week I am doing my try on for Xeijayi.

Thank you all for sticking by me and valuing my opinion, I will never take that for granted.
