I'm Molly, a typical sushi, makeup, and fashion loving millennial girl who just so happens to be blind! I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at just 4 years old and began public speaking at age 5. I started just doing motivational speaking, but now I make videos and even model! Even though I can’t see, I know that there are bright spots in everything we face. Let’s find them together. 💕

Are you a fan of at home press-on nails? How do you think I did? PS. Don't forget to follow @mollyburkeofficial on TikTok and Instagram!
I actually think they looked really good on you! They looked even to me and I love the pattern you did!
Who needs directions? Just go for it!
Molly Burke I love press on nails
I used to be the woman that wouldn't walk out of the house with out my makeup done hair just right and I kept my nails done at all times and then I had kids now I'm lucky if I can take a shower in peace
What's the difference between Joy razor and Gillette's razors?
The press on nails don't fit my nails there to small!!!!!!!!! Body positivity?, what about NAIL POSITIVEITY!!!! XD
COLOR STREET is the best. I sell them and I love them.
"I'm not good at nails." " This is reminding me of everything I'm not good at but want to be good at. " Girl, I FEEL YOU. I love fashion and beauty and all that, and I can visualize outfits and put them together just fine, but then I suck at everything else in that department. Anything with my hands in that area I suck at. I can't put on lip gloss without making a mess, even in a mirror. My hair NEVER looks good, and yeah. I'm just not good at it. 😔
I’m a new subscriber
the main thing I do is use a cuticle remover and use Holo Taco Holo Rose Nail Polish
I took quarantine as an opportunity to finally try HOLO TACO! You’ve gotta collab girl! You’ll love the sparkles, you’ll just spend all day shining your phone flash on them!
I pay about 50 for solar pink nails when I get them and 25 for just gel polish
I’m almost 9 minutes in and I’ve only just realised the pug next to molly isn’t real 😂
I can't wear nail polish @ my job, but since Quarentine, I've been doing nail art! I have natural, long-ish nails & usually only wear nail strengthener, but have been really enjoying painting my nails!
I had bought poly gel which didn’t work out fantastically.
I'm pretty lucky to have long nail bodies so I typically paint my own nails. I find it significantly cheaper and it's pretty relaxing
I shave sitting down almost always cuz I usually do it on the sink counter 😂
Fair, I usually would sit down to shave my legs, but my current shower is a walk in and I'm more of a shower person than bath person!
Me and my dog get matching nails. My dog enjoys me painting her nails. She just stands and gets peanut butter. Not always do we match but she likes her nails painted. Also for my nail routine I get them professionally done once a month, and I rarely paint them. As we have a million nail polishes
They’re cute, but i understand what you mean, the presticky ones suck, too flimsy.
Molly having long nails seems like Toph wearing shoes or walking on sand. :'D And you're definitely not alone on the shaving thing. For one I'm super slow so sitting down is just much easier but I also wish I had your shower space. Also are you still getting laser hair removal if you are shaving?
My nail routine consists of two things: never painting them and biting them short so I can play violin
I always sit to shave. Lol. I love sitting while I shower too.
Question .. if she's blind how does she know what colors look like? Like I know her mom tells her the color but how does she know the details of a color or what a color looks like? Just curious... but on a different note Molly you are so inspiring I just found your channel today by chance and I'm obsessed with your videos already.💗 I love your confidence, bubbly, sweet, but honest personality 😍
I can't do fake or long nails either! I love the colors of those fake nails but couldn't live with fake nails either lol.
I sit in the shower too 😂
I always sit down when I shower, It just so much easier. It is also kinda comfy when you sit down, shave and listen to music
Left handed buddies! *left-handed high five*
I actually sit for most of my shower or all of it depending on my energy levels
people dont need makeup they are beautiful just the way they are
I go to the salon but I also do my own acrylics and dip
I'm exactly the same with long nails. Always short!
I though you took bath or did you do that for an example
Hey molly they should be numbered!!!! To tell which one belongs in which nail. Have someone read the package for you
hi i know i don't know much about you but iv'e whachd a few of and really enjoyed the so no hate and i don't what to come of as rude but a quick question is iv'e only seen bind people with white/blue eyes so are you maby wearing contacts or something i would love an answer for that no hate or anything :). also i love gallop hes so cute!!
Well, you can't be good at *everything* you try. I used to love to pretty up my nails, but I never did like the roughing up of the nails that the salons did to get a stronger bond with the artificial nails. I never tried to use any type of artificial nail until the press-ons came out that only required a little glue, or had the adhesive backing like the ones you used in this video. I don't use them at all anymore; I just want my nails to be trimmed up evenly with a nice shape from an emory board filing. Honestly, you've been succeeding amazingly with all these beauty routines you have been trying on your own; I'm especially impressed with your dye job. Leave the nails for the salon, or just go natural (keep using that Rejuvacote) color. Natural nails do look quite nice.
Your mum not understanding the whole nail size thing was making me laugh. ‘Well what finger would that size be for then if not your thumb?’ .... ‘is it one size fits all?’ 😂 and your thumb nails definitely did not look the same 😂
Gallop with nails is a look I'm here for
I actually love those Kiss nails, because they're cheap and a lot of them are pretty simple and cute. I usually match the nails to the size of my own nail, instead of matching each other for each finger, because my right hand has slightly bigger nails than my left. If you do it again, there are numbers on the back of the nails at the tips so you can match them that way!
Molly you are definitely not the only girl that shaves sitting down. Shoutout to all the floor shavers 👍🏻
With those nails I cut them file (because they are often way too long) them before I put them on
Hi, I'm new to your channel. You have lots and lots of great informative videos. I have a question, when are thinking to retire your guide dog and what will happen to him once he retires? Will you keep him or will he be place on adoption? Thank you
From reading the comments, I realize I'm so low maintenance that it's ridiculous. I cut my own hair, color my own hair, do my own nails (when I bother to do them which isn't often and involves filing and painting only), I've never had a mani or a pedicure, never had fake nails, my eyebrows are fairly full and natural so no tweezing, and I've never worn eyelash extensions or false eyelashes...Hmm. I clearly need to try harder in the woman department! I do wear makeup when I go out though, so that's something...right?
I feel ya on the long nails. If I try to grow mine long they tear so I keep mine short as well.
I’ve always done my own acrylic nails from scratch and I paint them myself and everything and I find it quite relaxing 😂 And it is definitely way easier if you lay out your nails with the right sizes first
Yay im left handed too
Me too! All the crazy ones are, lol. 👍
Just a tip for all the boys and girls that shave....You never want to shave your armpits with the same razor that you use on the rest of your body (especially on your vagina, testicles, etc)! 😬 Your armpits have bacteria that can transfer from the razor to your other body parts and can cause irritations and infections. I use a blue razor on my pits and then another razor in another color for my other body. 👍 Hope this helps!
I've used the same razor for both legs and underarms for over 30 years and never had an issue. I don't shave my vagina because it doesn't have hair, but I shave my bikini line with the same razor too. I never wax off my pubic hair because that can cause open follicles that can get infected. Since you rinse the razor between uses, it should be OK, but I guess you could use different razors for different body parts out of an abundance of caution... I don't think it's that dangerous if you don't though, just based on my experience. I think it's fine to shave legs and underarms with the same razor, and most women who shave probably do it that way. As long as you frequently change your blade so it doesn't get dull, you most likely won't have a problem. Now, if you were going to shave off your entire pubic hair, it might not be a bad idea to have a razor reserved for just that purpose. But going full Brazilian can cause other issues, and really isn't a good idea according to my gynecologist.
i don't understand the appeal of decorated nails
I've never had my nails professionally done before! I always do them myself or just leave them bare
My one hand is slightly bigger than the other, but not a full size bigger. So I have to file down the sides to make them fit right before I put them on.
I have LONG natural nails and I always have nail varnish on and if you are trying to grow your nails I advise people not wear nail Hardener as It will actually cause your nail to break a lot more and to use nail varnish and nail oil as it will help your nails to flex and not break and buy a glass nail file as the regulars can add tiny fractures in your nail
5:21 How do they even type with nails that long??? 5:53 I could see Gallop arguing with Paolo, but not the other way around. I just clip my nails, but then, I'm a male.
Gallop is called Caleb in the subtitles 😅 I was so confused when I read the name Caleb and I was all, "who's that?"
So did anyone else notice that Molly is wearing her Claddaugh ring facing in!? Secret relationship, Molly? Whether yes or no, I'm team Happy Molly!
beautiful nails love the metalic polish
I always do my nails myself, just my natural long nails and (usually glitter) nail polishes :D lasts about 2 weeks, if you have the right technique.
You wanna get rid of your eyebrows, or why do you think they need to be shaved? I don't know if you know that you can do that by yourself, believe me or not, but it's the same as manicure, that isn't that hard and even you can do it, I thought at least you built up your other senses more and don't fall for that shit... With every razor, not only that China produced one, also with an American product in your case 😄 #dumbsponsors
I think you did okay but if a situation were to ever happen again where you would need to do this again... theres lil numbers etched into the underside of each nail which are sizes. So maybe mama Nev could help you see them if you ever had to do this again! Much love! Great job for your first try 💕💕
I paint My nails myself, I don't need no salons!
women so helpless how did they survive this long .men inventing things for them
Did you know that the default captions translates Gallop to Caleb? 😅🦮🐾
You did a great job, Molly!! You are a true inspiration!! You have taught me to make the best out of any situation.
I have sooooooooo many stick on nails, acrylics, patterns, polishes and glitters 😂 I love primark stick on nails 😍
I’d like to see molly try the magnetic lashes. Probably easier than the glue kind. This video reminded me I have a pack of fake nails laying around from way back I might dig up, but I don’t expect to do much better than you and I’m sighted lol
I definitely have to sit down when I shave for sure! It’s so much easier and safer. 🪒 😄 Don’t be sad, 💜 nails are beyond me, the only nail thing I do is very rarely I just paint my nails at home, I am not very good at it either. I could never do stick on nails, I literally can not even let my nails grow out at all, I much prefer them super short or I will end up biting them.
No to the fake eyelashes. I don't want to see you poke yourself in the eye repeatedly
Long nails are fine to work with, im a hair dresser and it was a struggle to begin with cutting hair. But you learn to use them as your advantage. But claws?? I ripped all my stockings for christmas, and i couldnt wipe 😂
gallop is such a mood.
I am not a fan of manicures. I do not like the way nail polish feels on my hands and since I am a therapist and work with my hands a lot they just chip within a couple days and look bad anyhow. However, I do like a good pedicure and that polish (if done well) will last a month or so.
Have you heard of color Street? Color Street has solid and beautiful nail art easy to apply, also in French manicure and colors for your toenails can use the nails on toenails as well that say a just hand, they can stay on anywhere from 10 days or longer depending you can even double up on some of the colors and get your own unique color just thought I’d let you know from one blind girl to another Plus they are 100% real nail polish
When we're not in quarentine I get them done every 2-3 weeks. I miss it so much! 😭 Having my nails done is such a huge confidence thing for me.
Blind girl??
Yes, she's blind
Oh my gosh Gallop’s sleepy face 😍
off topic but you’re literally gorgeous
I miss pedicures WAYYY more than manicures too
This is incredible! I am actually legally blind myself and it is amazing to know there are other people out there. Keep up the great work!
Your mom's voice is so soothing, I love it!
I’ve worn these exact ones for my birthday!! I love press on nails from this brand!!
Nice :-) I am also blind and I’ve been doing my own nails too, I haven’t tried actual fake nails yet but I just do manicures on my own nail and it’s interesting LOL
Yes
Love your spirit, your soul is pure and blessed
Why don't you just grow your nails out, it only takes me aprox. 3 weeks to get them really long. This is something I have always wondered???
My MIL uses super glue to make those stay on.
Ur not the only 1 that sits on the floor when they shave
My mom isn’t really that type of person so I’ve never had my nails done professionally lol
Molly they are numbered! So you just match the numbers for both hands!
I just had to use ImPress nails for a musical (I was a snake lady and needed long black nails, but I play piano and harp so my nails are really short) and the tester ones I used lasted like a full five days ( I washed my hair, and I'm in high school, so I do a lot of writing and typing and physical stuff) and I only had to replace one the night of the show... Also, when I did mine, I had to use one size bigger than I wanted on my pinkie because they only give you one tiny one per package, and I didn't want to have to use my other package unless I needed it.
I usually only buy them for events when I cant afford to get them professionally done. They usually do okay but they definitely dont last forever
How do you know your eyebrows are long if you are blind
She can feel them.
I was injured in a motorcycle accident, spent 6 months in a wheelchair. They had live performances for the patients on weekends and this blind lady sang for us on multiple occasions. It was just 14 people in a room with her this one weekend and we would all talk and just hang out. I do voice impersonations very well, particularly a Indian telemarketer. I would ask her questions in the Indian accent and she thought it was an actual person. When I told her it was just me messing with her she laughed so hard and told me she was certain there was an Indian gentleman in the group.
What concealer do you use!! Or does anyone in comments know?!
Why does the captions say Caleb every time one of them says Gallup?
Lol nice nails!;)
I like that Gallop just didn’t care that you put fake nails on him
Awwwwww your beddddd it’s so nice
Hey girl, for your first time I think you did amazing! Even for people that can see it's so difficult to do their nails by themselves!
She has 1.99 million subs so tomorrow I’m gonna check in and see if she has two million subs
She is so close to two million subs
I don't understand how people can shave and NOT sit down???
My fun nail experience was one time my friend was going to give me some press on fake nails. She had a pack of plain ones that you could paint, so they were not cute just on. She put one on me, and immediately I decided that it wasn’t my thing, and we both thought the shape was weird on my hands. Unfortunately, we could not, for the life of us, get that one nail off. I had to live with and extra long pinky nail for like 2 weeks until I finally got it off!
I want to have my nails done, I don't do anything and I don't go to salon. 😔 It's like a wish that never gets done and I always cut them very short...And I say: next time when they grow up.
I have a habit of picking at my nails so normally I leave they naked because I work in fast food and don’t want to get it in anyones food but I have been home from work because of at risk family members here at home so I actually have been doing my nails with the polish I currently own and it has been a nice change in pace.
Honestly you have to be careful cuz I've noticed some of those press on nail packs *sometimes will only put like 12 nails in a pack forcing you to buy 2 anyway lol it annoying
i painted my nails two days ago with a polish i dont think ive ever used before and later that night when i went and showered they just peeled clean off lol
