A few weeks ago, Holo Taco dropped their rainbow inspired (but not ROYGBIV) crushed holo collection. I have been a fan of the crushed holo formula since Highest Bidder was released in the Gala collection back in 2022, so this collection was a definite purchase for me. What I found a bit unexpected was the addition of micro shimmer (that was introduced in Spyglass as part of the Holo Royalty Shimmering Secrets set earlier this year) - it really adds to the look in my opinion.

Today is National Nail Polish Day, so I attempted to paint some nail polish shelves like Simply’s on my nails. Happy nail painting, everybody!

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’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.
