Earlier this year Nikkie posted her most personal video to date on YouTube coming out as a transwoman that she kept a secret from everyone except her close family. The series even reveals behind the scene footage of Nikkie and Hakeboom filming the coming out video with a personal conversation between the two long-time friends. Nikkie disclosed she started the transition process when she was 14 and completed the full transition by 19.

During the beginning of her transition, Nikkie decided to create her own YouTube channel with beauty tutorials as a way to express herself and grew in popularity over time.
