I’ve worked for 4 years at a beauty store and so many customers would ask for gel polish that doesn’t need a lamp.. Had to explain every time it was still regular nail polish and they would never believe me because of that Chanel top coat.. (and some other brands that also call it a gel coat without it being gel) 🙃
Yeah. And it sucks. And the worst paet is that these "gel" polishes are often no more grippy than other polishes and chip off just as easily.
I got tired of doing my own nails and yesterday just did them at a salon with a gel polish, hope it lasts
@ sally Hansen miracle gel 🙄👀
The real miracle is how they got away with the name of that line

I always thought that it was because of viscosity... I mean, your clients could be not-native speakers. I don't see anything wrong with it.
It stilld annoys me as a non native speaker, ik its the finish but some gel are in bottles
Simply: It goes all the way to the edge of the cuticle, which no one does, no one actually paints that way
Me, who has yet to master not flooding my cuticle: UMMMM
Same but my excuse is as a chef I can only wear polish on my days off
S A M E
All brazillian be like: excuse me? We do that in here
@RealisticLofiGirl same! I prefer not having a gap on my manis either.
@@RealisticLofiGirl yep it just doesn't look complete to me hah
I will say that Dior Nail Glow has UV reactive components in it that literally glow in sunlight and a lot of people really love that look
ILNP is better and $10
Also, Dior and Chanel have exact matching shades of nail polish to their lipstick shades. As someone who regularly wears pirate and 999, this is incredibly satisfying. Could I find this somewhere else? Yes, but I like the packaging and save more just getting it than I would taking the time to figuring it out otherwise.
Wow!!!
I have something look alike and it costs 10x less than Dior
I used to buy Maybelline clear polish with UV reactive components two decades ago or three, and it was cheap and long-lasting. I doubt Maybelline was the first one to do it. Many brands today has the same type of product, -the question is only if the dior one is one of the best long-lasting polishes or if it's just 100% the name that makes people prefer it over other ones.- Apparently the old Dior Nail glow had a pinker glow unlike the more purple glow that's common for these, and that pinker glow is what the fans were in love with.
When I saw the title I went: "YOU DID NOT" 😂😂😂
I LITERALLY SAID THE SAME THING
She's rich why wouldn't she?
@@someusername4129 don't get me wrong, it's good content too ❤️
Hehe simply not logical 😂
It’s in a video so it’s a business expense
I love the stream recaps…I can’t always make the live streams, so these are a treat. ☕️🐾
Same! I live in an opposite time zone, so recaps and recorded streams are my saviors 😄
Honestly I love brown polish. That color looks really good against my pale skin and it’s so chocolatey looking 😊
The inspiration color from CHANEL is a great nude color for people with deeper skin tones ... not a crap color. Nude goes beyond peaches and beiges.
I was gonna say this. That nude would look like I have no nails on my fingers because it's the same shade as my skin color, but it would look amazing for people with darker skin tones or paler skin tones.
Exactly. Also the blushy nude was soo pretty
Except that you can get the same color way cheaper, and big brands shouldn't be promoted unless they actually do something major and good. Just bringing out a brown color and asking 44 bucks for it is ridiculous.
Thankyou for saying this
I think she might've said that more so because most people think of brown polishes as a deeper colour tone for their nails when those colours are actually nudes for others. Also calling it crap... 😬 One thing is not liking it, another is thinking it looks like poo.@@HoloShaii
I love that second “boring old lady” color. It’s such a nice neutral. Also most people using these expensive polishes are likely not painting their own nails. It’s more likely they have them at salons in bougie areas or people with that kind of money to spend buy them (because of the name and not the quality) and take them to the salon.
I disagree. I use Dior nail polishes and I’m honestly considering transitioning to only a few good nail polish brands that will last me years. The Dior polishes I have are 15 years old and still PERFECT inside the bottle. They last forever on the nail too compared to other brands.
I’m starting to realize that nail polish is plastic. Buying cheaper brands means throwing them out more often. More landfill material or pollutant. So buying a few staple colours in a brand that will last is my personal preference at this point.
I actually loved all the chanel colors she tried. They're subtle but classic and they have really beautiful, rich tones to them.
@@citrinettegotta look at the ingredients tbh
Same. 😅 I think nail art is so beautiful, but if I wear too much colour or shine, it just looks strange on me. Like an old lady trying to be a teenager, even though I am not old. A good neutral will suit almost everyone.
I think most of them were beautiful (loved the Dior darker red as well), no need to hate them just because they are expensive/designer names. I probably can't justify spending that kind of money on nail polish - but they were still beautiful.
@@citrinette Yes, a few staples are a great way! I usually prefer Essie (I used to like OPI too, I have just developed a preference for Essie). The great thing about Essie is they have more small variations for the colors you use less (I have a beautiful small bottle of red for example, but mostly use it in the holiday season), and regular bottles for what you use on a regular basis. Saves room in your space too. 😅
I live vicariously though your polish reviews. Thanks for another
Is it me, or do the Dior colors look like color options on every automobile on the market right now?
Omg you're right! 😣
I can't unsee this now...
I mean, the world had an obsession with rose gold back in the early 2010s.
lol
I think that that shade of warm brown is really '70s. If you do some '70s squiggles graphics letting your natural nail colour peek through, or with an orange, a blue, a yellow, it really gives those '70s vibes.
3:50 fun fact in brazil we paint until the cuticule (or where it was, cause removing it is the norm! i don't tho) in salons they will paint very messily to cover everything then use orange/metal sticks to clean the excess, including the cuticule line in a very smooth move. I actually realized this watching your videos, I was shocked with the space you leave lmao they are is super photoshoped tho
My Cuban mom does this too! Wish she didn’t say “nobody actually paints their nails like that” because for so much of my life I only knew the Brazilian way!
Just because US does a specific way, she just assumed that “nobody” does it differently. Even though most part of the world paint theirs nails all the way to the cuticle. I think it was very ignorant of her, she just contribute to a stereotype that it’s not correct!
@@isabelaguerra4139 She's Canadian, not from the US
@@isabelaguerra4139 she’s from Canada, not the United States, so ironically, your “ignorant American” stereotyping is off base lol
I didn’t know that flooding the cuticles then cleaning up with acetone was a cultural or regional thing. Interesting! I really don’t think she meant any harm or offense. Perhaps it was an oversimplification, but she’s speaking from experience in her industry giving tips to make nail painting more streamlined and user friendly. For a lot of beginners, it’s more challenging to get a tidy look and clean line at the cuticle if you over-apply polish. Nothing wrong with painting your nails how you prefer or what is culturally significant to you. Don’t take her comment to deeply to heart and keep doing your thing!
@@isabelaguerra4139 I dont think thats the case, its the same way I thought everyone touched their cuticules until i watched her!
I really like the Chanel…. The nude brown was a great neutral on your skin tone.
Throw back to simply nailogical days! ❤❤❤
I worked at a Chanel counter inside a department store for almost two years. It looks like they sent you the discontinued versions of the polish. They now have more “trendy” colors and a shorter, flatter brush, kinda like the Holo Taco one. I often had a hard time trying to sell Le Gel Top Coat because it says gel lol customers would be like “no, I don’t like gel polishes.” “If it’s not gel, why does it say gel then?” Lol idunno 🤷🏻♀️
After searching online for 941 Spontane I saw it was 2022 and I didn't see it anywhere. I looked at the comments and saw your message and it makes sense. I really want that blushing nude brown pink color! Sigh.
@@geminipinayyes, 941 spontané was part of the limited fall/winter 2022 collection. A similar color now would be 113 Faussaire, but it’s not the same sadly.
I would love to have that Claire de lune color but it's already discontinued. I still have 4 bottles of chanel polish that I bought around 10-15 years ago and they are still like new. It's crazy!
What was that job like?
Brown nail with the fall topper would probably look really cute.
I just personally really don't like the look of the gap near the cuticle, and I want to minimize it, so I DO paint all the way to the cuticle. I just simply have a toothpick at the ready to clean up any messes/minor flooding. Cleans it up nice and crisp and I generally don't have any problems.
That Mystic Dior color actually wasn't bad. But not for that price tag lol
the second Chanel polish was sooooooo pretty, the color of it. The... spontané? What was it again?? The old lady blush color. So so so pretty !!!!
I used to love love love using chanel nail polishes and have the matching lip color for many of them. Used for my wedding as well. Now I do gel because I have a baby and instantly dry nails are a must!
The only luxury brand of nail polish I'll splurge on is Chanel. I have them staple colours I know I will wear and love. The formula is quite good and they're transitioning to the shorter wider brushes. It's a thinner formula than HT but I find their cremes, especially reds, to be very nice.
I've had Chanel last for years. After three years, it was basically the same as it was when I bought it. And I never experienced any yellowing either.
I own a Chanel 08 Pirate red, have had it for years, been waiting for HT to release something similar but, guess now we do have it. But yeah I love the longer brushes. Used the Chanel recently, and no issues even though I bought it YEARS ago when I had recently started working at a store that sold it.
I acquired a hand me down Avon polish with Gel in the name, I wanted to give it to my neice and it took SOOO long to make sure it wasnt actually Gel. Why do these companies think this is a good idea?!
*cough* Sally Hansen Miracle Gel *cough*
if it's in a see through bottle, it's not proper gel. gel polish is always in an opaque bottle
Does anybody else remember, when Chanel came out with new, pretty and interesting colours, but their formula was absolute garbage, so everybody was waiting for the drugstore dupes? Paradoxal, Frenzy, Peridot, Rose Confidentiel, Rouge Noir anyone? What a throwback 🥰
Omg Peridot was legendary! I did love the OPI dupe more but I'm starting to run out 😮
Yesss peridot was the best color at the time
I’ve been using almost exclusively Dior and Chanel polishes (because my mum has a few I borrow) and for the price you pay, they should last longer but honestly they have a lot of very unique colours. I often get compliments
My nails got severely damaged by (edit: A SPECIFIC BRAND of) gel nail polish so I’ve had to switch back to regular polish until my nails grow back. I purchased your polishes because I trust that its gonna be a best quality and created with us followers in mind ❤
Gel doesn't damage your nails. Removing it improperly damages your nails. It's always the removal and not the product itself. I'm a nail tech, and I always wear gel because it's long-lasting, adds extra strength to the nail, and is shinier.
@@kenziehurlocksame, i wear gel polish 24/7 to keep my nails from breaking and also coz it’s pretty and my nails are not damaged at all, it’s the removal that damages the nail if not done properly
@@kenziehurlock hi! what's proper removal? I have a magnetic gel polish that i want to use but never do because I'm scared to screw my nails up with removal, and wearing peel off base coat makes them pop off too quickly
@@evelinaz1548put your peel off base coat only at the center of your nail, that way it will stay. some gel products can be soaked off, but some people say too much soaking makes their nails weak. i file my gel off with a hand file. if there's no lifting it's okay to leave a thin layer of gel base on your nail so that you never file your natural nail, but if there is lifting then lifted product should be removed. look up nailmartusa and nailcou here on youtube for a clearer explanation
@evelinaz1548 what I recommend is filing off the top coat and some of the color and then use mini mani moo gel no more. It's sold at Sallys and their own website. That's what I do and it doesn't damage the nails. Never force gel off or peel it.
I obviously don't have Chanel Clair de Lune but that's genuinely the only one I would buy if I had the money.
Lol literally wearing the espresso holo right now. Brown is so nice for fall!
As a fashion history student I can confirm that Dior and Chanel were absolutely NOT friends. 1:44
Spill the tea!!!
@@heathermiller1425 one of the reasons was that Dior was all for bringing back a silhouette that was seen as restricting (ie, a cinched waist and full skirts with petticoats). This was the “new look” he introduced in 1947, which was a hark back to the Victorian era and the more (stereotypically)feminine silhouette that came along with it. Chanel didn’t like this, because she viewed it as backwards. She created clothes with a boxier silhouette that were meant to be more “utilitarian”. She wanted women to feel free in her clothing, rather than restricted. Essentially, both Dior and Chanel were at the helm of mid-late 20th century fashion, and they would be at odds just by the way they each interpreted femininity.
I live vicariously though your polish reviews. Thanks for another. Throw back to simply nailogical days! .
Why am I so happy about the kitty cam?
SO CUTE 😍
I own one Chanel top coat, which is the most expensive nail polish I've ever bought, and that is really out of character for me. But I do love this top coat, because the glossiness is unmatched, and even days later my nails still look just painted.
Better than seche vite? I'm looking for better if it exists.
@@mackerelle9789 I haven't tried Seche Vite but I have tried like a dozen top coats to try to find something cheaper but still with the same gloss, and thus far none have been even close. My tip if you don’t wanna buy a Chanel top coat without knowing if you like it i to go to a makeup store where they have them and ask the staff if you can try it on one nail. That's what I did before deciding to buy it.
absolutely love the green nails and ring combo. Top tier!
I really liked the Chanel nail polishes because their formula is good. I bought them for $20 and that was back in 2007. But I agree with Christine on the brush and the handle though.
It makes me so happy every time you post
I like blush nude colors 😅 they make your hand look soooo clean. But I also have my nails painted baby blue right now
I also looove brown nail polish 😭 special a nice deep dark brown like dark chocolate. I’ve been looking for one for YEARS. OPI used to have one in the 2010s
I’m team channel I guess haha
I need a good brown polish for my rotation. Love it in autumn.
i think as a set the chanel colors are old lady vibes but paired with the right colors (like that green) they could look good.
That dior nail glow😂 it's just like nail tint. Nail tint is worth less than a dollar with that same amount XD
Brown colored nail polish is elegant af! Love to rock it!
Today was pretty rough, thanks for the laughs 💖
I gasped when I saw the other hand, you wouldn’t have caught simply DEAD wearing that color back in the day, other hand or not
I LOVE that beige nude shade!! 😍
I don’t like pure brown but with a little orange in it I love it. Like a burnt orange
the dior topper was bomb tho, looks exactly like a black opal wich is beautiful to me
I love the brown one truly it’s beautiful
I dont know if this applies to chanel nail polishes anymore, but i have one that my mum passed down to me and is about ten years old now, its genuinely almost like new still despite its age which is a great aspect that obviously this video wouldnt be able to adress
people roasting those colours then the holo taco autumn collection dropped 😬😅 oops
lmaoooo
People please don't call darker brown colours as poo or boring old lady etc. Those are nude shades for people of colour. As a brown person these are the colours that suit me or are closer to my skin tone.
That’s what I was thinking. Brown colors don’t suit me very much, but they look gorgeous on people with darker skin!
yes x100 I love browns on my skin tone!
It’s nail polish colors. Why do you take it so personal? It has nothing to do with the color of your skin.
I for one did not take it as an attack on me personally.
Smh not everything has to be about r4ce
it always makes me salty when people say they don’t like brown shades cause dark brown is one of my favorite colors of all time😫
Love both of those gold, plus cosmic n the blush-brown
I’m obsessed with the Chanel shades. The brown green and nude. Literally the perfect Fairycore manicure 💅🏻 🧚
My mom likes Dior Nail Glow, she does 4-5 coats to make it a candy like pink tint that reminds her of those translucent lollies.
I think a fun game for cristine would be guessing which is the designer nail polish vs holo taco
This gives such autumn vibes ❤
I do really like the Dior cosmic topper, but you’re right it can probably be executed with two other toppers at a significantly lower cost
The reason gel nail polish comes in an opaque bottle is not because of the lamp. It’s because it would cure in the bottle over time from being exposed to UV light in natural sunlight like from a window.
Ngl the dior top coat is the best top coat i've ever used (dont tell me anything about holo taco they dont ship where i live)
I didnt know it was 40$ until i got to the checkout tho😭 sephora employee did me dirty
Cristine! Would you try Dazzle Dry? I used to work at a salon and the polish dries in 5 minutes. 😁
I love your braid curls! You've never looked better girl 😅
Ohhh your other hand colour is gorgeous❤
infused with pistachios??? now i have to check nail polish for traces of nuts >.
i love a true brown especially as a french tip!!!
The fact holo brand polishes are prettier, cheaper, better packaging, better glitters and finishes just shows that people who overspend on designer polish that just chips and washes off eventually is wild to me.
The Cosmic Dior nail polish is actually so pretty, I own it and it is very cute
Those are really pretty colors though. Very pretty colors. And that shimmer over a skittle Mani of the cremes of channel
Watching Cristine at 4:05 talking about no flooding the cuticle and thinking about how folks here in Brazil do nails 😂
If you haven't seen it, I recommend
i do genuinely just put smoothing base and glossy taco on my nails for a quick natural look. its great. gotta take it off before it starts chipping tho
This is so calming 🐼
Love the streams 💗
I love browns and neutral colors 😅😅 even if they are sparkly
That white from Dior looks like Tofo. on the brownish maroon, blue and Golden, looks like fall, winter, summer.
watching this to wind down before my first class tomorrow!
The Chanel color palette gives class
i love the Dior nail glow! i have no idea why it didn't show up on your nail. normally its like a soft pink glow
I’ve always wondered if they were any good thanks for the vid
I love chocolate brown polish or a dark brown red. Like cherry cola color
I didnt get to watch much of the stream because i was sickly and distracted, but watching fhe highlight now, it doesn't look bad, but the luxury tag doesnt make it worth it. If it were moderately priced, id like it. The luxury tag and model of polish it seems to repeatedly use dooesnt make it worth fhe price fo want. But then again, i own almost 100 polishes
Dior glow is awsome, try 2 coats of u want very pink.
My mum exclusively wears a dark purple mauveish colour of either dior or chanel (as in she has both) nail polish. She has 7 bottles on a shelf that are all pretty much the same colour and its been like that my whole life. Might have to send her this video hahaha
i love my dior nail polishes. they slap
i love brown polish, they’re neutrals ❤❤
Okay simply I see that Swarovski ring!!
The deeper chocolate color looks amazing on you ❤ Too bad the color Inspiration is discontinued. I really want that color.
I find these stream kinds funny. "I want to know what the experience is of a rich person who dropped $200 on a Chanel nail polish". Mmmm I am a HoloTaco Royalty member, so apparently I keep dropping $500 a year on nail polish, and I can assure you I am not actually rich (probably because I buy too much nail polish)
I got some Chanel polishes as a gift, and I actually really like their formula
Does anyone remember when Chanel had matching 💄and 💅🏼in the most amazing texture and colors? The _Hydrabase_ lipstick was overpriced but decent quality. It' s ALL gone: _Dragon, Lotus Rouge, Barcelona Red, Flamme Rose..._ Now it' s a carrousel of discontinued shades and watery _Rouge Allure_ that wouldn' t pass a blind testing. If you used _Passion_ 20 years ago, you know what I mean.
I love Chanel nail paint and these colours.
Man some people in the chat need to chill, the company isn't going to get it's feelings hurt, but some random person who doesn't even wear Chanel and just likes those colors is going to hear "Karen colors", "it's giving old lady", and "eww it's so ugly" and feel bad about it, some people love neutrals, classic reds, and creme polishes, some people do like Chanel just as much as y'all like Holo Taco, hating on things just because they aren't for you isn't a good look no matter how much glitter and holo is on your nails
Yeah they really don't need to be so aggro over it. Plus all the pale ppl calling brown ugly and poop colored completely ignoring that brown ppl exist. 😐
People are gonna have their opinions no matter what you can’t change that.
@@pinkversace187it’s ok to have opinions, but shitting on someone else’s is not ok. You can dislike something without putting down others who do like it.
Thank you!! also found it kind of funny how people were clowning on the polishes but after cristine said she liked it, all of a sudden people were like so pretty! 😂😂
I like fall neutral cremes. I want a whole neutral fall drop.
The dior top coat is actually pretty good >.< not me getting sucked into the Dior
Early!!! Been here since middle school seventh grade. Just graduated HS you’re amazing!
okay i can't lie i absolutely love the cosmic topper
The kitty cam is so important, thank you
It certainly looks better (except for Nail Glow! lol) than the high brands you have tried before that have a short career in the cosmetics industry. In any case, it's too expensive for me to aqquire them, so thank you for showing this!
I love neutral colors, they're the best looking on me
Other than your polish…the only other brand I love is YSL polish. But I think it’s being discontinued …I don’t know why it’s very good. Yours is still the best though❤
I would wear all these fancy colors! (I wouldn't pay for them though). Simply, I have been a fan since the eating polish cake days, since before Beyyyyn even showed his face days, and I am so in love with your polish line. I get excited every time new colors get released. I do have a few Holo Taco polishes in my collection! But, loving how a polish looks on screen, for me, is very different from loving how a polish looks on me. I am very particular about my style, and I honestly think these more "boring old lady" colors match my personal aesthetic more than the bright loud holo taco colors. I also use gels (real UV gels) because I'm too impatient to wait for drying time, and too messy to not have redos. Big fan of the Holo Taco brand and style, but would personally buy more neutral shades and colors for myself.
I share the same sentiment. I love colors on other people, but personally, I just use neutrals and reds.
Lov that green on your other hand 😅 😊
I have some info about nail polish on the pics being so close to the cuticle. In Ukraine we have that thing that almost all masters do: after they apply the polish to the whole nail they take a very thin brush and apply the polish very close to the cuticle so that the gap between polish and cuticle is almost non-existent. I think it looks a bit better and after this manicure looks fresh longer. It is a very popular technique because in Ukraine ladies usually get gel polish and not the simple one, so we can't change our nails that often.
Hiiik. I love ur videos so much❤❤❤😭😭
I saw that exact same dark blue shimmery Dior polish on some generic make up stand for $3.95 last week. Alternatives to it exist.
