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”

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?

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

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 😅

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.

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!

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

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

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!

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

That Gold has me in a chokehold!

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

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

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

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. ❤

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

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.

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 🎄❤️💚

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

Very Pretty Set Love The Colors And Designs ❤💚🤍

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 🕵🏼‍♀️🔎👀😅

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

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

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!! 💜

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 🥂

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.

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

The intro is EVERYTHING ✨

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 😂

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

It seems more like an advertisement box!😂

Very cool advent box. I love the colors.

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

Love that final look! Soooo pretty!!

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 💀💀

Very beautiful set Ms.Evie❤❤❤

Cool Calendar,Great design.

So FREAKIN PRETTY, TFS Evie 🥰👍🏽

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.

Evie that's so cute those nails ❤😊

Happy Holidays Nail Queen!

The stripes came out so pretty!

PS love you both Happy Holidays to your entire crew!!❤🎄

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

those colors are soo great. 🔥

I love the packaging so beautiful 😍

Oh My Goodness it Looks So Beautiful 😍

Beautiful set ❤️💚❄️

A beautiful advent holiday calendar 🎄⛄

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

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

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

Those peppermint lines look awesome ❤

Can't wait to see a holiday set 😊❄️🙏

Hi everyone and Ms. Evie! I love that omg I would love one too.

I’ve been looking for Christmas nail inspiration this might be what I do. If I can pull off the line work lol. Loved them!!!

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

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

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 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.

Ok that pop when the gingerbread man came off was perfection 😮

Love nails!!

The intro is back!! Yeaaaa!!!

Thank you for being honest with your review.

It looks great.!!

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

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.

I want to see snowglobe (aquarium) nails using that diamond gel! PLEAAAASE!

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.

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

the nails are so cute

I ❤love the heart tips...and the work looks so beautiful...and yes that was to much money for that set but it is beautiful as well...

I've never clicked play so fast! I really wanted this but couldn't afford it. Maybe next year!

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🎉

Hello glad u are feeling better

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

The description of the advent calendar was misleading. It said that you would get full size colors and signature soft gels! Where was those?

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.

Toyatomi - Merry Toyotathon to you too! 😂

love u guys

Hey, tfs! Nice 💅🏾 definitely need sum nails lol...

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

this polish is so pretty but super pricey one day ill buy some !! love it

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.

I bought it is so cute !!!

I want to see snowglobe (aquarium) nails using LGN bling it gel! PLEAAAASE!
