Hey everyone! You can follow my new reaction channel here! - youtube.com/@Robert_Reacts?si=_3OQzH-wmLhC_Jrp

What the actual fuuuuug. Obviously gel touching the skin / constant exposure to un-cured gel polish can lead to allergies. And when you become allergic to acrylates, you are pretty screwed. Lots of medical items contain acrylates, so much makeup, dentures, any adhesives. I hope for her sake this didn’t cause any allergies. She may not know until further down the line!

As someone who worked for a nail product manufacturer i'm horrified right now. DO NOT PUT NAIL POLISH OF ANY KIND ON YOUR SKIN!!

This is why, as an OSHA compliance specialist, that I will NEVER be out of a job, because far too many people like this exist 🤦‍♀️

As someone who works in healthcare, allergies to the ingredients of gel nail polish can be very serious. Including you not being able to have joint replacements later in life as there is a risk of the gel varnish allergy causing a reaction with prosthetic joint materials. People should think about their future self, not just the present!

The fact that she's a grown ass woman doing this & not a young dumb 14yr old is crazy smh

Beyond the chemical burn risk, I am worried about permanent damage to her eyes from the multiple rounds of UV light.

You can tell shes trying so hard to be the next Jenna Marbles (with so many Jenna references, and the copycat demeanor), but shes just giving mega-cringe. And Jenna would never do something so dangerous - when she did the Claire's Challenge and then found out (while editing) that Claires makeup has asbestos, she cut out the entire makeup portion of her video. Plus, she was genuinely funny and joyfully silly, she wasnt a tryhard like this woman.

Not only is she using gel polish on her face she's also just blasting her face and eyes with UV light

As a professional nail artist I’m absolutely appalled at this! Even if she used the BEST quality brand of gel polish the amount of dangerous chemicals in gel polish is unreal. We are taught over and over again not to ever get gel polish on the skin around the nails! That’s a teeny tiny amount that is dangerous! If she becomes allergic to the chemicals it could later in life effect whether she can have surgeries, dental work etc. the knock on effect is crazy!!!! I’m absolutely shocked at what I just watched!! And I’m sure she probably used cheap gel polish which likely has even worse chemicals!!! I’m 15 years in the business and I’ve never seen anything as stupid as this!!!

She literally created a "death mask" 😮 how stupid, I honestly cannot be believe it came off so easily 😵‍💫

My husband’s watching this with me. He said her mask looks like something John Wayne Gacy would make 😂

“Just for fun” is crazy. Is the TikTok money really that good to even think about using UV lights and gel nail polish on your face? This is horrifying, especially as someone very prone to contact dermatitis. Praying no one else has done this…

nail tech here and i am.....speechless. there comes a point where you stop feeling sorry/angry/confused about things and start feeling emotionless about it. im currently there right now😐 if anyone has ever deserved a darwin award its anyone who knowingly cures gel polish on their FACE

No way would that face mask be enough protection. She should have done a "lol, no way hunny." And then done it on a fake face

Uv nail gel is basically uv resin, and you don't want it on your skin. The funny thing about allergies is, you may not get the reaction the first time, but next time she gets her nails done, she might get a nasty reaction.

As a fully qualified Nail Technician, Manicurist and Artist.. do NOT do this. You WILL develop a serious allergy from exposure to the ingredients in the polish. All UV Gel treatments are supposed to be performed by a professional for good reason.

Even if people don't emulate exactly what they see, there's a culture of trying to "one up" other things they see to get views.

As a nail artist this is horrifying I’m even careful enough to not let any product touch my clients skin

I am a mature subscriber (almost 70). I don't watch TikTok. I was appalled by the video of this woman applying gel nail polish to her face. I could barely watch. Young kids/teenagers are so impressionable and will copy anything, not realizing how dangerous that might be. Thank you, Robert, for this warning.

I was waiting for her to put gorilla glue in her hair to really complete the look 😂🤡

I developed an allergy to gel polish years ago, and it literally lifted my nails off the nail beds because the dermatitis was so bad. Took lots of steroids and a lot of time to be able to have nails on my nail beds again and had to throw out all my gel polish and can’t use it anymore. This horrifies me to no end

I have a confession to make. When I was 12 I put nail polish on my lips. It was not a fun time. It burned and took forever to get off. My lips were raw afterwards. And this was before we had the internet. I came up with this idea on my own and never told anyone until now 😂

It’s not just putting nail polish on her face that alarms me, it’s the fact that she stares right into the UV light whilst it’s glaring on her skin! Apparently she’s 43. I won’t be surprised if she has cataracts and skin cancer by the time she’s 50 if she continues like this. Edited to add that my mum is a retired dermatology nurse who used to treat skin cancer patients. She’s a Christian woman who never raises her voice or swears, but I can picture her yelling and cursing at this woman! I was terrified to tell her I used a tanning booth a couple of times in my early 20s!

The "funny" little quips shes making as she goes are really falling flat when shes doing something so dumb

We had that trend going around of students stealing from teachers and it became a real problem. Because especially young people are impressionable and will definitely do dumb shit they see online.

Oh wow she’s so quirky and fun and not like the other attention seeking clout chasers who do anything for views You can tell by the amusing quirky girl voice she’s putting on and the faces she’s making 😒 “Increasing my risk of skin cancer for the views ✌🏻”

Just another day on the dystopian h3llscape we call tiktok. I love how no matter how stupid, how dangerous, how unhinged whatever the creator does they always take the time to tap it with fingernails for ASMR. I'm just waiting for someone to rob a bank on live and go home and tap acrylic nails on the ink pack covered money stacks.

The fact that she has invited and encouraged an audience culture of doing absurd things up to this level is definitely a part of the problem

I became allergic to gel/acrylic/shellac about 7 years ago. Swollen fingers, hives, peeling, burning, puffy eyes, etc when I come in contact with any of the ingredients. This made my skin CRAWL & ITCH SO BAD. Unbelievable!

What's most disturbing is that this woman is so willing to do what they ask her to do. I'll never understand the mentality of these people.

She was clearly influenced by Jenna Marbles, but Jenna definitely had more respect for her fans and would never have left a video up that could have been potentially dangerous. I really hate the complete lack of personal responsibility/accountability tiktok fosters.

I read through her comments and even when her followers were like "um that's not safe even with the mask" SHE DEFENDED IT and was asking like it was normal?? she was like getting mad that they were calling out dangerous behavior

Robert, you look so cool!! The black shirt and shadow contrasted with the soft pink of the blush, love the look! I really like the shirt, a striped twist on "the makeup artist shirt" :)

5 minute crafts: How does it feel to be out done by stupidity? 💜🤭💜 This is beyond dangerous and harmful. Issuing an apology is not enough, REMOVE IT!

Sometimes the way social media works down right scares me thanks for the content people need to know the dangers of these things.

As someone who became allergic to gel and all nail polish now, almost a year ago, i couldn't imagine doing that to my face. The reaction is so painful and the healing process is like 2 or so weeks for me. And the skin on your face is so much more sensitive than your hands and fingers. My allergy happened one day out of no where. I did my nails literally a week before the allergy, my nails are oily so the polish gel or not lifts off my nails in less than a week. So i would paint my nails with gel usually once a week. And i painted my nails like every other time and was now allergic to it. What if she had happened to suddenly have the allergy and didn't know it until she put it on her face and had the horrible reaction to it. Also it was so close to her eyes and mouth, which in itself is super dangerous. Doing dangerous stuff for views is stupid and a terrible trend that we're seeing so often now.

Of course she made the "I'm sorry you were offended" apology 🙄

“i hate when you guys ask for stuff like this because YOU KNOW IM GONNA DO IT” if it was me i would’ve deleted that comment or pretended it never existed but i also wouldn’t put nail polish on my face so we’re different in that way it seems.

I just genuinely wanna know what she would have done if it didn’t come off. She was so lucky.

Unbelievable! There does need to be a report option for someone doing something dangerous or potentially encouraging kids to do something dangerous.

I adore this eye look, can never have too much black 🖤🖤🖤

So I started doing my own fake nails and did a whole bunch of research before I started. Allergies never crossed my mind. I found out I was horribly, horribly allergic to everything. My fingers broke out into an awful bumpy itchy rash, then the bumps swelled with fluid, hardened and flaked and eventually(a month) got better. I can not believe she would do something so dangerous.

She could have done multiple layers of a mask, taken it off, and then painted the mask by itself. If she wanted to do it that badly there was still no need to do it while it was on her face! Not to mention the fact that she put a UV light right near here eyes multiple times without protection. Tiktok either needs to have more restrictions from governments about what is allowed to be posted. I mean the looting alone is ridiculous

I'm genuinely mad at this person. This toxic behavior for attention is so disturbing and dangerous. I hope they don't have kids 😕

I do my nails myself for a few years now and there is no way this person doesnt know its a bad idea to do that. Honestly i wouldnt feel bad if she gets hurt doing that, she knows stupid people will also try that just to get some sort of attantion.

James will have a fit seeing that gel polish on someones face 😂

I gave my self contact dermatitis from trying to learn how to use poly gel on my self. Your hands will literally bubble and burn to the point where you want to cut your hands off

“Its starting to itch so I’m going to go fast!” *proceeds to F around and goof off and drag it out for 2 more videos 🙄*

It's amazing how people ALWAYS seem to find dumb things that will make them regret their decisions later...maybe it's too much free time on their hands.

When I see people well into their thirties or older do things like this, I seriously get concerned. It almost makes sense in my head that youths and stuff do outrageous things for attention on the internet- they've been raised in an age of social media and told that fame and money come from attention online. Sad as it is, that's the way things are at the minute. But for a grown adult who should damn well know better- WHO KNOWS THAT PEOPLE AND CHILDREN ABSOLUTELY WILL IMITATE THEIR ACTIONS- do something so dangerous, irresponsible and downright moronic ... it scares me. Grow the hell up.

Not only is the polish/gel damaging and irritating, overexposure of UV is toxic and detrimental to the skin. Same goes for any chemical

People aren’t offended, people are concerned TikToks young audience might replicate what you did to go viral. She either doesn’t care or is completely oblivious, because it’s still up gaining views. Even the controversy around it could encourage repeating this stunt. Her saying don’t try this at home is joke. This stuff and these kind of “apologies” make me insane.

Not even Jackie would do this 😂

Jackie is about to be so upset someone outdid her😂

Licensed nail tech here and OMFG I was so hoping this was clickbait! This is straight up horrifying

I’m the kind of person who is happy to wait hours in between cleansing, serum, and retinol. I can not even imagine doing what this creator did.

Having quite a history with contact dermatitis, including on my face, you DO NOT want that. Even after the initial rash goes away, you can have continued peeling and scarring for some time afterwards. This is so dangerous.

Beside the sheer recklessness of the whole thing the only form of "protection" she used in this dangerous process was a peel off face mask??? No sunscreen or tanning glasses? Vaseline even! To think people walk around and think that's a great idea

She LITERALLY cured/melted liquid plastic on her skin?!?! Hope she doesn't develop horrifying skin DAMAGE and allergic reaction. This is HORRIFYING.

Oooof after watching James’ video on the possible dangers of gel polish, I am totally flabbergasted right now. 😳 Don’t do this, it’s so dangerous!! 😬😬😬

I swear, after the pandemic, I feel we have lost our damn collective minds.

It’s all fun until someone has a reaction to the nail polish & ends up on life support or passes away. Tik Tok needs to stop these dangerous videos.

Robert, I know dark eyeshadow can be difficult to work with but honestly it looks fantastic on you and shows off your skills! Just beautiful ❤

My toes were curling watching this. I'm no beauty industry pro, but I do read what's in products! It's terrifying to think of that on sensitive facial skin. On another note, your eye make up looks stunning today Robert! 💕 Those lashes in particular *chef's kiss*

The guy talking about the dangers was very informative. Also I hate that he or anyone today has to preference "this isn't hate" etc etc b/c we shouldn't feel bad telling ppl to not be dumb b/c you can literally ruin your body. The Internet said, you thought Lead in products messed up the brains of a generation....Hold my beer. Cuz what!!! And it's Grown adults too. Smh.

Omg I was expecting this to be a 16yo or something. This is a grown woman. Embarrassing

The MOST frustrating thing is that it is hard to get the word out about really really dangerous things like this without giving the content creator who does it more exposure. Do you ignore it and know that people will find it in their own? Or do you point it out, possibly driving lots of others to engage with it, and call it out; thus giving the algorithm more positive feedback to show you more stuff like it? Like the quote from the 80s movie War Games says,” the only way to win is not to play the game”.

She couldve just done it on a mannequin head!!! Insanity smh

I’m just so impressed with your eye makeup! Please teach us how to get such dark colours to work like this!

Always so happy to see your videos - even when the subject is HORRIFYING!

Robert, I've discovered your channel through your brother's and honestly? You two were the best discovery of my year. You guys are so real about the beauty world and all of these crazy trends and it makes me so happy to see beauty influencers who are so honest about all of the problems that the industry and other influencers can cause. Seriously, keep up with these amazing videos, I love them!!

As someone who has dabbled a lot in UV resin, i always thought gel nail polish was uv resin. And you can't breathe it and or get any on your skin. It's getting hot because of the chemical reaction to the UV light. @EvanAndKatelyn takes resin seriously. I would love to see their reaction to this.

.....Once, when I was VERY young and VERY new to makeup, I didn't have any makeup remover when I wanted to remove some mascara and eyeliner. What I DID have, was nail polish remover (~acetone free~). My very naïve thought was "well, if it's strong enough to remove nail polish, it must surely be strong enough to remove makeup, right?" No, I did not understand anything about the chemistry involved in any of it. I tried to remove my eye makeup with nail polish remover. LUCKILY, I was in the bathroom when I did it, so I could turn on the tap and get my eyes rinsed IMMEDIATELY. Which I did, because - shock and surprise - it burned like HELL the second I got it on my lids. And I was fine. Shaken, and it made me realize that nail polish and makeup are not the same thing, and that what's fine to put on my nails is not fine to put on my face. But I was FINE. My sight and skin was not damaged. I rinsed it in time. But I watch this... And I think back to that evening about two decades ago... And like, as a child, I was naïve and ignorant enough to put nail polish remover on my face. There is ZERO doubt that children who watch that video could easily think "oh, wow, what a fun way to make a mask!" and decide to try it out, because this grown woman did it and she was fine! What a stupid, irresponsible video to make...! As an adult, how can she not think it through first???? I agree with you, Robert - if she's so sorry, she should take the video down. Dear gods.... Just because someone sends you a challenge does not mean you have to do it..! Excellent video and break-down, Robert!

In middle school on facetime with my friend i put just a strip of black nail polish on my lip cause i didn’t own black lipstick and it burnt INSTANTLY. it stank so bad made my eyes water. i took that shit off immediately and my lip still felt numb/slightly swollen for hours but nothing else happened. i do not know how this woman even was physically able to go through this process.

this is natural selection at its finest haha

It seems like so many people underestimate the words allergic reaction with gel

The way you looked into the camera and went "What's your life now?" cracked me up. This whole thing made me cringe so bad.

You are so talented. Everytime I see how your eyeshadow is done i feel satisfied, like this is the absolute most perfect way to do it

Your dedication to this Channel is amazing. And you are so special Robert, i Love the way you talk, your sense of humour and your opinions. You're the best. Ps. Your eyeshadow is gorgeous.💜💜💜

Always love your take on this stuff. I have to mention I LOVE this makeup look on you! ❤

“Five minute crafts, you’re not that bad.” 7 words that have never been said before. Yikes.

Videos like these make my day 110000X better so thank you! Also obsessed with the shirt

I sadly contracted an allergy with gel polish when I was trying to diy my nails for events, I would get mildly itchy cuticles and fingers, I wondered what it was and I saw that’s it’s an allergic reaction, I got so many gel polishes and I can’t use it :( so time for false nails and nail lacquer lol

Only 2 minutes in and this is terrifying, I’m finding it hard to watch and just wondering WHY. 😢 I’ve developed acrylate allergies and it sucks, even nail polish kills me now.

I agree completely. As there are sooo many things wrong with social media, this is yet another one. You can't be sure who is watching, or even for her own safety, she never should have done this. Just because your followers give you suggestions, doesn't mean you have to do it. Thank you for highlighting this video and the explanations you provided. As always, love your content ❤

The side eye Robert gave when she was talking about the tanning lights 💜 thank you 😊

Nothing truly surprises me on the internet anymore. It's more like, how much can I laugh at this person today? Or hopefully I don't puke this time lol

Omg, I was so worried when you and James put masking tape with sharpie marker eyeliner wing on your twin channel, so this is just beyond the pale for me. Honestly the only way people like this will stop doing this is when a child gets injured doing the same thing and the TikTok creator gets sued.

Thank you Robert for bringing awareness. Like always I love your content ❤❤❤

WTF is wrong with people? Do they really make that much money from doing these ridiculous things? Do they crave the attention so bad that they risk their health? Just, just WTF??!

Back in the day (2015ish) a gal did a full face makeup challenge with nail polish and got ripped apart online for it, though the video is still up. Wild to see someone else make this decision - though at least this time she tried to be a little bit safe with the peel off mask as a base.

Robert’s comments throughout this video are fire. His face, his eyes, just perfection.

I remember seeing the notification for this video on your discord and being so horrified! 😱😱 I’m a licensed nail tech and the thought of putting gel on the skin, ESPECIALLY on the delicate and often sensitive skin of your FACE! My heart almost couldn’t take this video 😩😩

She has to be the luckiest person on the actual PLANET that this didn’t literally ruin her skin or her eyes or anything else. The thing is, most people don’t have that kind of luck, and even if they do, one day it inevitably runs out. Imagine it running out on the day you decide to put gel nail polish on your face and freaking cure it… I will never understand a grown adult behaving this way on a public forum where younger, more impressionable people can take their already stupid idea and run with it. We’re supposed to protect the youth and guide them.

Oh wow! I had no idea that gel nail polish was so dangerous. I was skeptical because of the uv curing process. This has made me glad I never dipped my toe into gel polish. (I made a pun...lol!)

Thank you so much for making a much more in-depth video about this!

I had contact dermatitis from nail gel and I almost lost my fingernails. It took 2 MONTHS for my hands and toes to fully recover. This is so unbelievably unsafe.

You know what a good way to do this? Get one of those blank whole face mask and paint on that.

Tiktok's Motto should be "to stupidity and beyond"...
