Holo Taco Underglow Collection
Holo Taco’s 2024 holiday collection is based on a formula that many folks loved from a 2023 polish: the micro-shimmer in Safiya’s Spirit Fingers (later followed by Alien Infatuation in early 2024). I am included in the group of folks who found this formula really fun, so I was excited to buy this collection. The vibes are very wintery (as opposed to “holiday” colors) which I think will actually be more wearable for me. Let’s dive in!
Holo Taco Birthstone Collection
Each year, Cristine releases something special for her birthday. In the past, these releases have been a bit smaller, but this year she decided to launch the biggest collection Holo Taco has ever had - a whopping 12 polishes as the Birthstone collection.
Crochet Hydrangea
One of my friends is an excellent gardener, so I decided to try to replicate a really pretty hydrangea she has in crochet form as a birthday gift. It didn’t turn out quite the way I had hoped, but that’s what happens when I go wild free handing things. It’s still pretty cute.
Holo Taco Dark Academia Collection
Simply has been alluding to a study worthy fall collection for a while and it finally dropped a few weeks ago. The set I ordered has finally arrived, so it’s time for some pictures and comparisons!
Crochet Stanford Tree
One of our besties is heading to Stanford for grad school, so I crocheted him a tree that (hopefully) resembles their unofficial mascot.
Mani Mag 2.0 First Impressions
I recently saw a few folks posting on Instagram about the Mani Mag 2.0 from ShutYourTraps on Etsy. It’s a 3d printed magnet holder to help achieve the velvet nail look using magnetic polishes. I have really struggled with magnetics, so I decided to buy a set as a birthday gift to myself.
Holo Taco Mixed Emotions Collection
A few weeks ago Holo Taco debuted its first thermal polishes in its fifth anniversary Mixed Emotions collection. I was a bit surprised by this since I had previously gotten the impression that Cristine wasn’t impressed with thermals and wouldn’t be pursuing them for the brand. I’m happy that this didn’t turn out to be the case! The set I ordered has arrived - scroll down to see pictures and comparisons!
