Simply recently launched some new fall cremes and a neat topper in the Down To Earth bundle. I purchased on a Wednesday and had it in hand by the following Monday - the switch to USPS from UPS is definitely helping my orders get here faster (and I love it)!

Holo Taco celebrated its fourth birthday by releasing the Retro collection. While I loved the neon colors, I wasn’t sure that I was going to like the jelly formula since I typically don’t like polishes that allow my nail line to show through. I ordered the collection anyway and am so glad I did - it’s really changed my mind about jelly polishes since there are so many combo and nail art options that I’ve had a lot of fun playing with.

Simply has finally completed the shimmer toppers line up with the recent Fire & Ice bundle drop. This was another low-key weekday drop and I somehow managed to convince myself to hold off on ordering until my loyalty program birthday code showed up so I could get everything in one go.

I’m going to be honest - I’m getting a little release fatigue at the pace Holo Taco is bringing out new items. Is anybody forcing me to buy them? Absolutely not. Do I have ten fingernails and a decent case of FOMO at pretty much every release anyway? Yes. Based on this, it shouldn’t be surprising I was getting pretty antsy for the Vacation Collection to finally arrive on my doorstep.

I ordered the Holo Taco Royalty Debut Trio along with a few other polishes as part of the Holo Royalty sale a few weeks ago. After what felt like a very long time to a person who gets very impatient with shipping times, everything arrived this week and I was delighted to start testing out the new polishes.

The Pastel & Don’t Tell bundle I ordered from Holo Taco arrived this week and I was really interested to see how these shades compared to other crèmes already existing in my collection.

Holo Taco put out a new collection in a chrome formula that I was super curious about since I had approximately one chrome polish (maybe from Revlon?) 10 - 15 years ago and I liked it. I ordered the collection and it finally showed up this week so I got to work experimenting with it (spoiler - it’s very different from my last encounter with chrome polish).
