HOLO FRIENDS!! Simply & Safiya are back at it again - this time with a one-two punch of a holo taco nail polish collab, and a matching (holo) taco truck that we built from an old fedex truck. I hope you guys enjoy this one - what else should we do with our new truck?? Also, if you're interested - you can shop any of the safiya x holo taco collab products here!! holota.co/safiyaxholotaco QUICK UPDATE: as of this video going live, the collection bundle that includes the nail file & the glitter is sold out, BUT there are still collection boxes and individual shades available!! 💅 xoxo, saf
Hi! I'm surprised that I'm the third person to reply and not like the 100th and I hope I can get it as a birthday gift cause its on the 20th this month I really like the purple pink color also!
I wish @simply would ship to South Africa (the country) - we could do with those awesome colors and holographic nail polishes…please can you look into it?
@@Belle_Ndebeledoll From what I understand it depends on the destination country’s import/customs regulations. A lot of countries don’t allow nail polish to be mailed because the chemicals in them can pose a safety risk if something goes wrong in transit.
I love that every time Safiya does a public event she's always like "wow more people showed up than I thought" despite having almost 10 million followers on TH-cam. Never change.
Cristine has big time ambivert energy. Yes she's a sock who never leaves the house but you can tell when she's with her people and doing what she loves she gets ENERGIZED and crazy.
As someone who has driven a food truck for over four years, the fact that you only hit one curb is beyond impressive. I’ve seen so many much worse things happen to first time food truck drivers 😅
I imagine the fact they bought a micro truck might contribute to their success in driving it. I'm not saying driving a micro is easy, just easier than a longer vehicle. Probably for the best that they didn't get something so big that it barely avoided CDL requirements.
I like how every time Saf does a video like this shes always like 'I thought only a couple of people would come but you guys really showed up for it' we love a humble queen
@@jessied3696 im more of a casual viewer (and a guy that doesnt do makeup so not 100% the target audience) and yet i was tearing up the whole time. its so cutee
I love the crowds shouting “Ben” and “Tyler”, seems like such a wholesome event :) plus Saf’s determination to drive the truck herself really shows all the sincerity! So proud of everyone!
As the person at 23:12 being handed tea by Ben, I can confirm the event was absolutely amazing and everyone involved did an amazing job! Also as someone who lives in Raleigh, it’s so cool to see Safiya collaborating with local brands and promoting them in her videos. I don’t know that I would have known about MilkLab or the other local vendors she highlights in her videos without them.
I also love that she’s proving that a big TH-camr doesn’t have to live in LA to be doing cool things, finding amazing places and artists and vendors, having filming opportunities, and bringing a crowd. Like, other places exist 🙄 and there are so many talented people/businesses to work with in those smaller towns.
Just rewatched the video and was thinking about how clever it was for Saf to make the truck the highlight of the video, rather than the polish collection itself. Whenever she collabs, aside from whatever royalty or percentage she's paid in the agreement, the video content is really what she gets out of it. Usually, like the custom candy and boba shop takeover, the content is almost all about her learning to do stuff, BTS, making and experimenting. But with HT so much of that process is proprietary or trade secret that if she had tried to make the video about "I designed my own nail polish with Holo Taco" it would have been really awkward and she'd have to be intentionally vague about almost everything. Instead by making it about the truck and her friendship with Cristine, she was able to promote the launch, make a really fun and clickable video, and not worry about leaking HT proprietary info. Just thought it was a smart move on her part.
same as what she did for her Colorpop collab! making the Giant lipstick the video’s focal point, rather than the collection itself. she knows a thing or two about protecting trade secrets by now, i’m sure 😊
Ever since the launch of Holo Taco, I've been waiting for them to do a collaboration. I think we all just knew that it was going to happen at some point lol.
From a marketing perspective... this is brilliantly executed. I love watching this friendship thrive over meeting fans and bonding over nail polish. I can't help but smile.
I feel like Cristine has grown so much as a business owner and entertainer, because when she started she wouldn't have enjoyed being in front of a big crowd, but here we get to see her get pumped up to share her work with the world
Everyone was so respectful and so well mannered , so artistic and nice! It’s so nice to see a fandom made by such awesome people. The fandom really reflects who the creators really are
As a prof nail tech that has probably seen every nail color in existence I got to say…Spirit Fingers is absolutely amazing! So unique and the shift in color is so beautiful. Good job saf and cristine!! Edit: Just received my box set in the mail and I am beyond happy! All of the colors are amazing quality and spirit fingers is even more stunning in person 🥰 so excited to add these to my personal collection!
Yes! I'm not much of a nail polish person myself (sorry, Simply), but I had to snag a bottle of Spirit Fingers because it is stunning. Kudos to Saf and Cristine! (And George's team too. The truck looks great!)
To hear the fans call BEEEYYNNN just like Cristine, and also hear the fan chants Ben's and Tyler's name makes me realize that parasocial relationship can be so wholesome and healthy.. I hope Safiya, Tyler, Simply and Beyn are always surrounded by healthy and supportive fans
Cristine seems so much happier since she started doing live streams. it’s so nice. she likes the genuine, real time connection and conversation with her audience. and she’s so happy in this video getting to be with them irl.
it has already been done, although a few releases ago. The colour was purple. Rainbow flood was released as a limited edition colour after mixing all the holo rainbow polishes.
The dichotomy of Christine being SO in her element being the crowd-pleaser spokeswoman hyping up the crowd, and Safiya being so out of her element driving the damn truck 😂 Both of you did an incredible job, though, and I'm glad you got such an insane turn-out!! ❤
As an NC EMT- THE WAY MY EARS PERKED UP WHEN I HEARD “I came straight from my emt exam!” CONGRATS GIRLIE!!!! I hope you have an amazing time on the truck!!!
Shoutout to the girl who became an EMT that day! The training is NOT easy and this was likely a long time coming for her. I got my certification on August 22 ❤
Jack of all Trades, Escaźu, Cristine, Ben, Safiya, Tyler, Holo Taco & Milk Lab just created the best colab ever. Also I was so unexplainably happy hearing Escaźu was making an appearance again.
I cried seeing Cristine so excited to interact with the crowd and every fan cause I remember when she went to her first con and said it was exciting but overwhelming. What a wonderfully planned event and everyone who dressed up or painted their nails looked great 😭❤️✨
Wow the organisation of this event was impressive! Buying the truck, getting George's team to renovate it, collabing with Escazo and Milk Lab and arranging several cross state meet & greets. It's no small task (not even an average size task). Well done Saf and Tyler for organising all this and Cristine for being the nail polish queen!
Anyone else feel a weird, giddy sense of joy in seeing these two so happy and excited together? I don't know anybody in this video (like--not really, since none of us REALLY knows these lovely folks) but seeing them together and so happy together made me want to weep tears of my own happiness.
That's exactly how I felt! Thank you for putting it into words. I don't particularly care for nail polish and I don't know much about Cristine but watching this video I was struck by how sweet and sincere and excited everyone was and felt so happy for them all. It was heartwarming and felt so wholesome.
Yes!!! I was going to add a similar comment - how genuinely happy it makes me to see two women who’ve brought so much joy to others ...so happy themselves. I know each have faced their own challenges as TH-cam creators - particularly in the areas of inspiration and motivation... & it’s so encouraging to see them enjoying the more rewarding side of “the business.” Kudos to their legions of fans for showing up, waiting for hours, demonstrating their devotion & how much these women positively impact our culture. Truly, Safiya’s & Christine’s lengthy friendship is tremendously endearing to witness. 🖤💜
Yes! Also knowing that Safiya and Tyler felt isolated and far away from friends in California, and now seeing them do a video with Christine and Ben..I am so happy they all got together for this project and I hope it gave them all the support they needed 😁 It really shines through that this isn't just a TH-cam collab, there is so much energy❤
Ok but wait why am I crying? 😭 I've been part of Cristine and Safiya's community for so long and seeing all the ppl who showed up and were chanting the brand, their names and also giving so much love to Ben and Tyler 😭 I literally love this community and I'm so proud of yall 🖤🖤🖤
Oh I def had tears for the same reason. I remember Cristine using other brand nail polishes and back when Safiya was with Buzzfeed. They have come so far 🥹
This video was a lot funnier and more entertaining than I expected. And Cristine’s fans are really committed. Some of the nail peel collections, manicures, and girl who collected every Holo Taco ever made really shocked me
I NEED a Safiya video called "I Was a Holo Taco Lab Technician For a Day" where she goes to the warehouse in NJ with Cristine and shows us some behind the scenes of how the polish gets made! (whatever is NDA safe of course) 😄💅
Stoppppp ive been waiting for this video for MONTHS! My boyfriend built your truck & I cannot express how jealous ive been hes been able to meet & hungout with y'all.
The way they organized this so well just proves how great of creators they are. They don’t take their influence lightly and wanted to make sure everyone was safe and happy. Wished I could’ve been there ❤
This collab makes me unreasonably happy and I can’t even explain why. My best attempt is simply that these two are so amazing together 💛 it’s absolutely friend goals. And obviously a crazy amount of people agree. I can’t imagine people who didn’t know the event was going on seeing these crowds that days and being like “what’s going on?” and learning it was a nail polish event and just being sooooo confused as to why there were hundreds of people there for it. Like… YOU DONT GET IT!! Saf and Cristine are magic together 🌮🦇 It genuinely made me tear up when Saf said she was proud of Cristine. We are too! I’m proud of both of you! (All four of you!!!) I hope you keep chewing bubble gum and kicking ass!
I love that they do something like this and there's little chaos from the fans! Everyone is so nice and respectful! That's amazing and shows how much their fans and followers respect them.
It goes to show that it's really about what kind of community you build. While Saf may be a bit unhinged she wouldn't ever build a toxic/chaotic community and she'd gladly call people out on it I'm sure too. The thing is we really need a lot more like this. Communities really need to stop being so toxic and/or chaotic all the time. Just have fun with things.
props to the organizers and security too it seems like it was a really well executed meet and greet and the lines stayed pretty chill and orderly the whole times. all in all they had an awesome crowd and Safiya and Simply were really nice hosts to stay late and organize a really nice experience for their fans.
I feel like there's a lot of chaos... but the _good,_ wholesome, respectful, and non-destructive kind, which I love to see! e.g. giving Ben a banana they'd written on 🤣
love these two women! in an era of problematic people on this platform, their kindness and positivity is such a breath of fresh air! all hail the holo taco and franken queens 👑
Thank you guys for such a fun event! I was at stop 2 and it was such a joy to meet you both! And to get Safiya to quote my favorite quote of hers to me: "Onward, on the inexorable march towards death!" Also, yours and Cristine's friendship is everything 💜
Did anyone else tear up watching this or just me? That ending especially really got me 🥺 It's just so awesome to see their friendship over the years and how excited everyone was! The next time there's a Saf x Cristine live collab I will travel across the country to be there! 💜💜
@@lampekartoffel I'm not at all sick and when they rolled up to the first stop with all the crowds I started smile crying. Just so wholesome and wonderful!
I'm like. So weirdly proud of these two. Like, imagine showing a young little baby Christine and Safiya this video. Look at all of the crazy things they get to do, the people they get to meet, the fans they have so rightfully gained! What a crazy cool idea for such crazy cool people
Safiya and Cristine playing around in the truck is exactly what is going on in my head twenty four seven 😭😭😭😭 I love their friendship sm, they're so wholesome and supportive of each other!! 💜💜💜💜
I have to say, this video gave me so much joy. As a big fan of Safiya and Simply, I love seeing their genuine interactions with their fans and how much love they put into this event. I giggled and smiled with such wonder at this video and I'm so glad for all the people who got to enjoy this day. :)
Between the coffin and holo car that she left at Corinne and Rob's and the Holo Taco truck, I think Cristine secretly enjoys sticking her friends with these huge projects after the video and going home empty handed, laughing all the way😅
Being at this event was absolutely amazing. Everyone was such good sports about waiting in the heat and understanding that Saf and Cris had to move on to the next location. I was able to hand out holo stickers and talk to so many wonderful people, definitely a memory I will cherish forever! 💜 Menchie gang from stream!
i started watching simply at the age of 13, im now going to be 20 in a few months and havent been able to watch any of her videos since she stopped, when i saw this on my recommendations i got so happy man
Safiya and Christine’s friendship is so sweet. The two of them are so passionate about what they do, and every time they get together they create a perfect storm of chaos and passion. Anytime you two are on screen together I can feel the friendship pouring through the screen.
Even though I wasn’t able to experience it in person, I think this was the most magical and fun thing to do! And Safiya, you are so wholesome and kind hearted - you are such a wonderful friend to Cristine, the fact that you wanted to do this not just for the collab, but to celebrate her and her accomplishments. You are what a true friend is. I love the two of you separately and together, thank you for this video and for this collection!
It's so insanely rewarding to see how far both Safiya and Cristine have come (as well as their SOs!). I've been watching both of them since their very early days. They've gone from creating content to creating entire businesses and empires! Safiya has developed marketing skills that are absolutely enviable (ie, finding partners for the campaign that boost interest), and Cristine has created the most recognizable and beloved nail polish lines. It's so insane to think about how much they've grown and developed. This video really encapsulates it all.
HOLO FRIENDS!! Simply & Safiya are back at it again - this time with a one-two punch of a holo taco nail polish collab, and a matching (holo) taco truck that we built from an old fedex truck. I hope you guys enjoy this one - what else should we do with our new truck?? Also, if you're interested - you can shop any of the safiya x holo taco collab products here!! holota.co/safiyaxholotaco

Ben being the main side character is just a character arc I did not expect but had me absolutely smiling. I adore it!!
I was waiting the whole video for Cristine to yell "BEYYYYYYYN" into the PA system and I'm so sad it didn't happen
Sadly, many Bentendo videos earlier this year were disappointing compared to his classic videos .
Ben realizing he has his own little fan base within all of this is just amazing ❤

Saf and Christine are the cutest BFFS. In some ways, polar opposites, but in others, totally in sync. A very cool Yin and Yang.
Tell me I'm not the only one that got teary when Saf said she's proud of Cristine!
the last part of safiya talking about how proud she is of cristine is the sweetest😭
I NEED a Safiya video called "I Was a Holo Taco Lab Technician For a Day" where she goes to the warehouse in NJ with Cristine and shows us some behind the scenes of how the polish gets made! (whatever is NDA safe of course) 😄💅
THIS IS AN AMAZING IDEA
This
Yes!!!!!!! Safiya in a lab coat, standing suspiciously close to a wall of pigments… 😈
@@lindsay7597 yes! you see my vision!
Stoppppp ive been waiting for this video for MONTHS! My boyfriend built your truck & I cannot express how jealous ive been hes been able to meet & hungout with y'all.
Your bf is George? He did an awesome job!
@@teribirrell no Marco lmfao George is bossman.
@@lexiedoggogroomer ohhhh ok. Lol. They all did an awesome job!
It’s amazing the mods shift at the second location. Like she felt safer so she could let loose a bit. Aww 💜
I absolutely love the caffeinated, frat boy energy that Cristine expressed in this video. It was hilarious A+.😂😂
caffeinated csmply and non-affeinated saf are my two braincells haha
The way they organized this so well just proves how great of creators they are. They don’t take their influence lightly and wanted to make sure everyone was safe and happy. Wished I could’ve been there ❤
This collab makes me unreasonably happy and I can’t even explain why. My best attempt is simply that these two are so amazing together 💛 it’s absolutely friend goals.
And obviously a crazy amount of people agree. I can’t imagine people who didn’t know the event was going on seeing these crowds that days and being like “what’s going on?” and learning it was a nail polish event and just being sooooo confused as to why there were hundreds of people there for it. Like… YOU DONT GET IT!! Saf and Cristine are magic together 🌮🦇
It genuinely made me tear up when Saf said she was proud of Cristine. We are too! I’m proud of both of you! (All four of you!!!)
I hope you keep chewing bubble gum and kicking ass!
I love that they do something like this and there's little chaos from the fans! Everyone is so nice and respectful! That's amazing and shows how much their fans and followers respect them.
It goes to show that it's really about what kind of community you build. While Saf may be a bit unhinged she wouldn't ever build a toxic/chaotic community and she'd gladly call people out on it I'm sure too. The thing is we really need a lot more like this. Communities really need to stop being so toxic and/or chaotic all the time. Just have fun with things.
props to the organizers and security too it seems like it was a really well executed meet and greet and the lines stayed pretty chill and orderly the whole times. all in all they had an awesome crowd and Safiya and Simply were really nice hosts to stay late and organize a really nice experience for their fans.
I feel like there's a lot of chaos... but the _good,_ wholesome, respectful, and non-destructive kind, which I love to see! e.g. giving Ben a banana they'd written on 🤣
love these two women! in an era of problematic people on this platform, their kindness and positivity is such a breath of fresh air! all hail the holo taco and franken queens 👑
Thank you guys for such a fun event! I was at stop 2 and it was such a joy to meet you both! And to get Safiya to quote my favorite quote of hers to me: "Onward, on the inexorable march towards death!"
Also, yours and Cristine's friendship is everything 💜
People rioting over Tyler and Beyyyyn dancing with a banana is the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life
Wait what when? Was it in the video or were you there and saw this in person?
Wait I got distracted and realized I hadn't finished the video lmao my bad
@@jodoodlyboi2963 yea lmao I get that, but no definitely not there I live on the other side of the world
Did anyone else tear up watching this or just me? That ending especially really got me 🥺 It's just so awesome to see their friendship over the years and how excited everyone was! The next time there's a Saf x Cristine live collab I will travel across the country to be there! 💜💜
Me too! I'm sitting here saying "why am I crying over this video!" It was just beautiful.
It might be because I'm sick, but about halfway through, bug fat tears started rolling down my face 🙈💙
@@lampekartoffel I'm not at all sick and when they rolled up to the first stop with all the crowds I started smile crying. Just so wholesome and wonderful!
I’m glad I’m not the only one!! It was so wholesome 🥰
@@lampekartoffelsame I'm sick as well on my fricking birthday hope you get better
Ngl. The most exciting part of this video was safiya driving a truck.
So cool.
I'm like. So weirdly proud of these two. Like, imagine showing a young little baby Christine and Safiya this video. Look at all of the crazy things they get to do, the people they get to meet, the fans they have so rightfully gained! What a crazy cool idea for such crazy cool people
same it made me so emotional 😭😭💖
Safiya and Cristine playing around in the truck is exactly what is going on in my head twenty four seven 😭😭😭😭 I love their friendship sm, they're so wholesome and supportive of each other!! 💜💜💜💜
I have to say, this video gave me so much joy. As a big fan of Safiya and Simply, I love seeing their genuine interactions with their fans and how much love they put into this event. I giggled and smiled with such wonder at this video and I'm so glad for all the people who got to enjoy this day. :)
I don't know why this video brought a tear to my eye. It was all so cute. The effort they put into everything. And the positivity from the fans.
Glad I'm not the only one!
Me too I’m like why am I crying
The "She think's she's driving" part always makes me laugh 😂😂😂😂
I would love to see Cristine drive the truck....I bet she could🥰
OMG I don’t live in the US and might never see this in person but I love seeing my girls shine and happy!
I cried at the revel part
Between the coffin and holo car that she left at Corinne and Rob's and the Holo Taco truck, I think Cristine secretly enjoys sticking her friends with these huge projects after the video and going home empty handed, laughing all the way😅
Next video: Christine takes the Holo Taco truck to border control
😂 wonder what happened to that car / coffin lolll. Loved those collabs!!
Being at this event was absolutely amazing. Everyone was such good sports about waiting in the heat and understanding that Saf and Cris had to move on to the next location. I was able to hand out holo stickers and talk to so many wonderful people, definitely a memory I will cherish forever! 💜
Menchie gang from stream!
Ben unintentionally becoming the event was the highlight of the entire thing! I love everything here!❤
I remember Ben when he first started showing up in videos he was so shy. And now he is a BEAST 😂
Oh yeah I used to refer to him as Ben the Tea Guy 😂
Next video- we mixed every simply nailogical video and painted a house with it
with video projectors?
I love it when Safiya works with crafstmen like the truck guy. There's so much to learn from people like that
The amount of love for the partners is just the cutest thing ever 😂❤️
I wonder how long it took Christine to recover from that much human interaction 😂
i started watching simply at the age of 13, im now going to be 20 in a few months and havent been able to watch any of her videos since she stopped, when i saw this on my recommendations i got so happy man
Safiya, Cristine, Tyler, Ben, Holo Taco, Jack of All Trades, Milk Lab, Escazú...
THIS IS OUR ENDGAME ❤️😭
I love it when Safiya works with crafstmen like the truck guy. There's so much to learn from people like that
Safiya and Christine’s friendship is so sweet. The two of them are so passionate about what they do, and every time they get together they create a perfect storm of chaos and passion. Anytime you two are on screen together I can feel the friendship pouring through the screen.
Did I cry watching this? Yes. Am I proud of Cristine? Yes.
Same!
im also proud of Saf, i smile the intire video
i cried too 😭 made it 23 minutes in and then it wouldn’t stop lmaooo
i had to try so hard to not cry LOL i’m so proud of them and how far they’ve come
Who knew Cristine was so feral?? Lmao I love it!! Looks like so much fun 💜💜💜
I know Cristine normally just does one collab with each person but can we get a part 2 this was too iconic to only happen once & you have the truck😏🤭
Cristine progressively getting crazier made me so happy
Love to see Tyler and Ben super supportive to thair partner and managing all the crowd by being in the back !! 😇😇
I love the duality of Saf and Simply, she brings saf out of her comfort zone to be equally as batty 🤩🥰 prime examples of amazing humans.
YES Cristine and Safiya are always a great collab
Even though I wasn’t able to experience it in person, I think this was the most magical and fun thing to do! And Safiya, you are so wholesome and kind hearted - you are such a wonderful friend to Cristine, the fact that you wanted to do this not just for the collab, but to celebrate her and her accomplishments. You are what a true friend is. I love the two of you separately and together, thank you for this video and for this collection!
Not me crying when Safiya said she was so proud of Cristine 😭 This collab is everything!!! Love you both
I love it when you and Simply work together! It’s always the best!
The phrase "it's time to build her a truck" had me cracking up 🤩
Edit: George is a delight of a man
i love how this fandom is mostly very kind millenials it brings me joy
The fact they took time to walk each line and say hi to everyone makes me so happy.
It's so insanely rewarding to see how far both Safiya and Cristine have come (as well as their SOs!).
I've been watching both of them since their very early days. They've gone from creating content to creating entire businesses and empires! Safiya has developed marketing skills that are absolutely enviable (ie, finding partners for the campaign that boost interest), and Cristine has created the most recognizable and beloved nail polish lines. It's so insane to think about how much they've grown and developed.
This video really encapsulates it all.
These guys have been going for years. Geninuine couple. Really nice people. No games (no pun intended). Pure TH-cam. Wonderful. Thank you.
Christine's initial reaction was like she and Safiya made a baby 🤣🤣 Love this friendship and the collab! 🖤
