Niki and Gabi are twin sisters. They studied at Notre Dame High School and DeSales University where Niki majored in television and film and Gabi majored in musical theatre.
They initially produced comedy skits on their YouTube channel 00 Remake Girls. They later started a new channel, Niki and Gabi Beauty, for beauty, fashion and lifestyle themed videos. They signed with AwesomenessTV and StyleHaul in 2012. A cover of "Friday" by Rebecca Black in 2013 helped launch their YouTube career.
Niki and Gabi were cast in the YouTube Red comedy-drama web film Dance Camp as the characters of Mia and Mya respectively. Niki was cast as Sadie in season 2 of the Hulu horror web television series Freakish.
They released their debut extended play, Individual, on 27 July 2018. It charted at #14 on the Heatseekers Albums chart and #32 on the Independent Albums chart. Gabi appeared in the music video for Thank U, Next by Ariana Grande in November 2018. Niki and Gabi signed to Abrams Artists Agency in 2019.
In September 2019, Niki and Gabi released a video on their channel titled "Going to College Dressed as Celebrities Challenge" in which American singer Normani was portrayed by a man. The video was criticised for "furthering stereotypes about black women having masculine features".
In March 2020, Niki posted a TikTok in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic which showed her with an Asian manicurist, both masked, while the song "It's Corona Time" plays over the video. The TikTok was criticised as racist and insensitive due to the implication that the manicurist had COVID-19 amid the rising xenophobia and racism experienced by Asians in the United States during the pandemic. The video was deleted and DeMar issued an apology.
