Holo Taco Royalty Shimmering Secrets Set
Holo Taco’s loyalty program offers the highest tier members (dubbed “Holo Royalty”) the opportunity to work with Cristine via a set of surveys to design limited edition polishes. For year two, Holo Taco released the Holo Royalty Shimmering Secrets set (year one was the Royalty Debut Trio that arrived in April 2023). The set I ordered finally arrived (and thankfully didn’t take a wild ride around the country like my previous order thanks to USPS) so here are some swatches and comparisons!
Holo Taco Cookies & Cremes Bundle
Holo Taco’s first “low key” drop of 2024 is the Cookies & Cremes collection/bundle. I’m starting to feel a bit more picky about which polishes I’m adding to my collection since I feel like we’re starting to see some overlap with retired shades (that is not meant as a criticism - it’s bound to happen eventually!), but I ended up ordering the full set anyway.
Bridgette Ballet Neck Sweater
I’m back with another finished crochet project: the Bridgette sweater from ilovetinderbox.
Holo Taco I Need Space Collection
Holo Taco recently launched the first collection of 2024: I Need Space. The theme is basically a trip to Mars (and unofficially anti-Valentine’s Day). The mood feels different compared to previous collections, but I’m into it. The set I ordered finally came in, so pics incoming.
Over Hat Ear Warmer
A Boston hat is part of Jeff’s regular attire, but it doesn’t do much to keep him warm in the winter. He discovered the twisted ear warmer I made for myself back in 2022 and started wearing it over his hat. I thought it was cute until I wanted to wear it myself. The solution was clear - I needed to make him his own version that would fit over his hat.
Hot Cocoa Ornaments
These cute little hot cocoa ornaments came from a Mary Maxim kit that my Mom bought a few years ago that I finally got around to crocheting. They worked up pretty quickly, but I don’t know if I’d make them again.
