Holo Taco Advent Calendar: Day 5

 Oh today we have a blue frosted metal for day 5. This is called In A Flurry. This took 4 coats to be opaque. You can probably get away with 3 if you have short nails. For me, the formula was too thick and took very long to dry. I have this on my nails right now and even with a quick dry top coat, it took too long to dry where it does not dent. I tried to stay away from this type of formula because it is a pain to take off (i probably have 1 other polish with this formula). I will say, the shine is insanely beautiful. No top coat on these swatches.




Do you like this type of polish? I am glad I have the mini version because it is not the polish I would gravitate towards often but still like to stare at my hands sometimes when it is on.

Solar eclipse manicure

Image
New York City had about 90 percent totality of the solar eclipse on Monday. I managed to see it and made sure to wear ILNP Eclispe in honor of the day.  I used 3 coats for the manicure. The last photo is during the eclipse and you can almost see a ring on my index finger.  Were you able to watch the eclipse where you live? What manicure did you wear in honor of it?

OPIcon polish: Lincoln Park After Brunch

Image
 Hey everyone! Today, I am showing you a swatch of one polish I purchased from the OPI Spring 2026 collection: OPIcons. The collection is inspired by the iconic shades loved by customers.  I chose to purchase Lincoln Park After Brunch. This is inspired by Lincoln Park After Dark. This is described as a shimmery blackberry purple. This was opaque in 2-3 coats for me. The formula is good and easy. Wear two base coat layers because I might stain your nails. I like it. The purple is not as dark as Lincoln Park After Dark, but still deep enough to love. Did you pick up any of the new shades?

Holo Taco: Love at first swipe- swatch + review

Image
 Hey everyone! Today, I am showing you two polishes that I purchased from Holo Taco's new collection for Valentine's Day. The collection is called Love at first swipe. They consist of 5 magnetic polishes and 1 topper. They also introduced their horseshoe magnet called Super Magnet. I already own a horsehow magnet from ILNP so I used that for the photos. I apologize for not being able to capture the magnetic effect well. I am still trying to figure out how to take better photos for different finishes. First is Pretty Privilege. This is described as a baby pink base with an icy pale pink magnetic pull and scattered holo. I used three coats because of the magnetic feature. If you want to use this unmagnetized, you can use two coats. Pinky and middle finger are the velvet effect. The ring and pointer are the typical cat eye effect. The other polish I purchased is called Flirt Alert. This is described as a raspberry pink base with a light pink magnetic pull and scattered holo. As I ...
