My favorite lazy pretty combo is what I call Fairy Nails. It's a combination of different types of HT toppers over naked nails (with a base, obvs). Dries super quick and you don't have to be as worried about smudging, so it's great on days where I don't feel like doing the whole process of fully painting my nails or don't have the time to be careful, but it's still stunning and always catches the light beautifully. It's also just fun to play with different toppers and see how they look together.
(Regarding Lemon Spritzer) I know nail polish isn’t food BUT: I used to work for a bakery. We noticed that our citrus flavored items (Lemon, Lime & Orange) were at the bottom of most peoples flavor lists when it came to selling. When we would market a citrus flavor without it being in the name, we noticed that sales would be better. The only time an item would do resonably well with the actual fruit name in the title would be when it came to things like “Lemon Merengue” or “Key Lime Pie”
I've been a long time Male fan of you! Started watching in high-school, and am now a 24 year old lol. I don't paint my nails or anyone else's, but I'm always so tempted to buy your polish just to look at the colors lol
PLEASE don't let anything stop you! Very recently my husband showed interest in painting his nails [I had ordered from the newest collection and he actually liked Disco Dust!] and I went with basic One Coat Black & Disco Dust! He can't paint all nails due to how rough he is with his hands at work, but his thumb and ring finger get repainted when I do my weekly change as well! Life's too short - stare at pretty colors on nails! [I recommend one-coat black with a unicorn skin or shimmer. It's not too loud but also very stunning!]
Ok: I love these “recap” videos because I can’t always make the live stream. I was here for most of this love stream and it was fun(as always). But this video…with the extra sound affects and/or cuts is so much fun! Here for the “not logical “ content!H💿L💿!
Lemon spritzer is the first Holo Taco polish I’ve emptied and repurchased! It’s honestly such a nice color, works as a ”neutral” with many outfits imo.
9:00 personally i enjoy seasonal nails, but i gotta agree with holo royalty don’t really understand a lot of specifically themed- holiday collections; it’s hard to use a polish all year round if it has little snowflakes or red & green glitter (like i’ve seen at stores lol). Idk it just seems so gimmicky and hypothetically the polish would probably dry out before it got used more than 10 times.
Surprised how few poll responders often/always use their nail polish by season! With the exception of obvious perennials (like holo over black), I have my cases of nail polish arranged by the four seasons, so at the start of each seasonal change it’s like “ahh, hello my friends, time for Fall!” (or whatever). It feels so connected to the weather and seasonal/atmospheric vibes, I recommend it
I just did this combo, and am absolutely in love with it. Sonic unicorn skin over cold slate with a matte taco. One of my all time favorites is recreating a lapis lazuli: golden flake Taco over sonic unicorn skin and royal tea blue with a matte taco.
@@AmandaTheStampede I'm so excited to try out this combo. Got my holo in the mail the other day! I wanna do something with Bottle Service first though.
magnetised Cool Cat Mom literally looks like "A Milky Way 'Mixer' Amongst the Stars" from Nasa's Galaxy Gallery. as a space enthusiast, i will love to get this one day
ALSO I DID GET LEMON SPRITZER AND THE WHOLE PASTEL RAINBOW COLLECTION PLEASE STOP TAKING AWAY PRETTY POLISHES LIKE MATCHA MAKER (I'm still in bloody misbelief that it's gone forever it's SO GORGEOUS IMMA SCREAM)
My husband has never painted his nails and doesn't intend to. However one day he called me over - to show me the one coat black short HT video! I catch him rewatching it too! I told him I have it and offered to let him use it! I think he wants me to use it however I'd probably use a topper also.
I just had on my Loki mani and forgot to take a pic, anyhooo….with the Holo Taco dark rainbow Lost in the Forest and Frozen Benanas ✨💚💛✨ Frozen Benanas is my all time favorite gold foil and scattered holo, so much so I got a bunch of extras for my family who loves nail polish too ✨📀🌮💅🏽✨
I’m so grateful to Cristine for bringing back Royal-Tea-Blue, it’s another fave and I had only gotten one before she needed to retire it. I’m hoping someday she releases a flakie topper that’s a teal color for like a treasure island 🏝️ swimming with the sea turtles typa vibe 🥰
Talking about Polish Mountain. I think Matpat tried it. As he had some real chucky nails in one of the shots in the last style theory when he was doing the toothbursh experiment. So yeah i hope you react to it if that's what he is doing as i have no clue what it be otherwise.
I would love to see a white/black gradient nail and the unicorn skins on top, to show the transitions of the colours. I don't know which ones would shift similarly and give a nice effect but I think it would look cool to have the 2 tones on one nail.
Hey could you make a video for people just getting into taking care of their nails and nail art? Im sick of going to the salon and paying so much just for them to ruin my nails. What peeling base coat, cuticle oil, top coat etc do you use? What products do you think are the best?
Wish I could afford your nail polish. However I did pick up some Maybelline top coat at the Dollar tree today. Dollar Tree sometimes gets some brand names that aren’t dupes. I do match my nails to the season.
15:18 is the subtitle referring to the polish on the left? because i'm in love with that one and I want it ♥ edit: omg the combo at 16:12 is also amazingly beautiful
My favorite holo taco combo ever is full charge + cosmic unicorn skin If you have full charge pls treat yourself to this, the purple and green is sooo magical
you should be able to put it over anything but sometime they will peel apart of flake up from the polish. like some of my top coats dont stick to my base and then im mad. ive taken to using an adhesive base with these ones.
Hear me out on this one, so being the holo queen yourself i think you should really try and get a prismatic holo hair colour transformation this year that would be so epic!!
If I recall correctly Cristine has some allergies with makeup and this kind of stuff, so dying her hair might not be possible. But it would for sure be pretty !
I think the reason the lemon nail polish is hard to sell is cuz of the green tone to it. It need more of a lean towards orange. Think like sunflower yellow. Or truly ripe lemon vs this one looks like a slightly unripe lemon… hope that makes sense.
so sad that lemon spritzer isn't being sold anymore! after watching this i wanted it so bad but it's not on the website anymore :(( woulda been perfect for a star trek cosplay since it looks like the same gold color as the rank bands
Hey, I was wondering, what tips do you have for people with very shaky hands? I don't have hands that shake to the degree of something like Parkinson's, but making small precise movements like doing my nails is difficult. I have an inkling I'm dyspraxic, but I'll talk to my doc about that one lol! Something I do to help is brace my hands firmly on a surface like my desk. I also hold my breath a lot to stop myself from moving. Also, any tips for growing your nail bed out? My thumbs and pointer fingers are decent, and the nail beds go pretty much to the ends of my finger tips, but the nail beds on my other nails, notably the ring fingers, are super tiny and short. The whites of my nails, even when grown out for 2 weeks, doesn't go past the skin at the tip of my finger. It's really frustrating because I will grow my nails out to where the whites get very long for me, but they still don't reach past the skin of my fingertips. Then once painted, my nails will look VERY SHORT, when in reality the whites are very grown out.
They make nail vinyls that work similar to liquid latex! Try searching for Peel-off nail tape. It protects your skin so you get clean edges. I've used them for sponging, but they could totally work for just regular painting too! You can also find nail vinyls in fun shapes or stripes for a little nail art without needing the steady hand or art skills.
@@AdennFox yeah tbh using vinyls or liquid latex would be easiest for me instead of going in and cleaning every nail carefully with a paper towel and polish remover!
How do you make the jelly base pop?? I have a few of them and even with a glossy taco, the glitter doesn't shine through and seems to be stuck under the jelly layer. I used Fallen Flakes Taco over Curfew Crasher. Beautiful!
For me what works is doing 2 or 3 super thin layers so that not too much jelly sits on top of the glitter (ofc the first layer will be dulled by jelly) or doing creme base and 1 layer of jelly on top. You could also sponge on the glitter to get more glitter coverage while reducing the jelly color (haven't tried this with my Holo taco yet but works with my other polishes) Depending on how chunky the glitter is it might help to do 2 glossy top coats (really depends on how thirsty the glitter is) I wait until the nails are fully dried and touch to feel if it's smooth or if I can feel the chunks of glitter.
@@LeiranNZ I ended up trying one coat of the jelly glitter, over one or two coats of the creme polish and it looks great! I think the glitter is just so packed, that scattering it over the creme makes it more visible. I'll try to do it again with just the jelly, but like you suggested, in thin coats and at how it looks. I think I just had too much jelly sitting on top, and the top coat made it more smooth, but didn't get the glitter shining through much. I did "choco holo" on top of "I'm over brew", and it's turned into a magenta colour with gold glitter. It's awesome!
Hey, Simply!! I'm too old to follow the chat shit, but I had to ask..... Are you willing to do a polish-mountain for all the holo-taco polishes? I know it takes forever, but DAMN. Wouldn't that be gravy, baby?
She did do a HT polish mountain on stream earlier this year; this channel (not logical) uploaded the highlights about 6 months ago. I would petition to have this be an annual or every 2-year tradition 😆
@@JBC352 Wow that was already six months ago. It was a fundraiser timed with pride month, yes? I remember catching the last hour or so and it was hilariously chaotic 😂 Quality content for a good cause 💅
Does anyone else have an issue with the matte turning their nails into crayons? I work with a lot of paper in my office and im constantly finding colorful streaks on my work. It also tends to chip faster. Is there anything I can do or am I stuck with glossy?
Yeah, I do like some of her colors but $15-16 even before shipping is a bit rich for my blood. I'll stick to small brands that are a bit cheaper, I think. ILNP is pretty good.
I got my first HoloTaco order in recently and cant get enough of the colors. I definitely didn't get enough toppers for all of this fun but cannot recommend "50 Shades of Greige" enough 😍 I cant stop looking at my nails. They remind me of silver tinsel against rainbow colored lights 🥹 I want to swap to "Foiled Again" pretty soon, but this one is honestly a great unconventional seasonal color.

Ok but hear me out. Before the bottle literally degraded, cold shoulder and blue flake taco were GORGEOUS
I miss being able to do that combo 😭. Cold Shoulder was amazing.
The bottle degraded?? What???
Same thing happened to mine! My cold shoulder bottle looks reeeaaall funky. Like sad dusty goop gray.
Is it just chunky? Could you save it with some nail polish thinner? Or did the formula just come apart
@@kipp3100 I googled it. Apparently it changed color
(Regarding Lemon Spritzer)

This is so interesting!
please give us an example of a name that doesn't include citrus for a citrus flavor! I'm so curious
I love anything lemon! Colour, smell flavour, I feel betrayed by this info😂
Its only because you trick people that way, lemon flavour is always overdosed, it tastes like crap
I've been a long time Male fan of you! Started watching in high-school, and am now a 24 year old lol. I don't paint my nails or anyone else's, but I'm always so tempted to buy your polish just to look at the colors lol
Go for it dude. Life's too short to care about what other people think.
I would love a Travel Cat Holo Taco harness
Do it
It’s kinda like I love to see carpet cleaning videos but have no inclination or interest doing this myself 😅
PLEASE don't let anything stop you!

I’m a simple lady, scattered holo taco plus anything is my favorite combo
Lemon Spritzer + Lunar Unicorn is the best holo combo and I'm so glad you tried my suggestion on stream!!!!
I LOVE these combo streams!! They're so great for finding new mani ideas! 💜💜
I literally just did a pink lemonade look and put galactic unicorn skin on lemon spritzer and it’s gorgeous.
I gotta try this
Surprised how few poll responders often/always use their nail polish by season!

I live in Australia and the weather is so inconsistent 😅 I look up the weather for the next few days and pick my polishes by the ✨vibe
@@alexcanty90 Fair enough; judging from the customer maps on launch days not all HT peeps live in places with a strong four seasons, too!
I love living by the seasons💕

I might have to do that as well! it turned out so beautifdul
@@AmandaTheStampede I'm so excited to try out this combo. Got my holo in the mail the other day! I wanna do something with Bottle Service first though.
My absolute favourite combinations are unicorn skins over the top of multichrome polishes. Some of them absolutely GLOW.
magnetised Cool Cat Mom literally looks like "A Milky Way 'Mixer' Amongst the Stars" from Nasa's Galaxy Gallery. as a space enthusiast, i will love to get this one day
Yellows are my jam. Been using yellow combos with banana hacks and lunar unicorn then flakie. Sometimes lemon sucker and frozen benanas (pls be back).
Grinchpickle was just too pretty to make it into the final cut
I love Flakie Holo Taco or one of the unicorn skins over the chrome polishes - my favorite is over Missed Shift! I couldn’t stop staring at my nails.
ALSO I DID GET LEMON SPRITZER AND THE WHOLE PASTEL RAINBOW COLLECTION PLEASE STOP TAKING AWAY PRETTY POLISHES LIKE MATCHA MAKER (I'm still in bloody misbelief that it's gone forever it's SO GORGEOUS IMMA SCREAM)
Bottle service is actually so pretty in person i have so much more appreciation for it after seeing it in person

Scorched earth + frost light is 👑
I accidentally found out the combo of Green screen and Scorched earth. I was STUNNED, it was that beautiful
you could do a twisted paperclip for a sweater/knit magnetized pattern for zyler + fall holo topper.
One of my new faves is Sunken Secrets topped with Rose Golf Flake.
One of my Faves is Solar Unicorn over Midnight Spark.
I put everything taco over cool cat mom and is it EVERYTHING!!!
I just painted my nails with rose gold flake taco on lowkey blushing today and it’s SO pretty

Oh I'd watch like 10 more streams of fan suggested combos
Love spell and got cake is SO GOOD
These are such pretty polishes and color combinations! I'd love to get some, but I don't paint my nails because of my job sadly.
personally i am obsessed with spirit fingers + red flake taco
Wish I could afford your nail polish. However I did pick up some Maybelline top coat at the Dollar tree today. Dollar Tree sometimes gets some brand names that aren’t dupes. I do match my nails to the season.
Try mixing cheap acrylic paint into clear coat and then top coat it. Cheap and fun!!
You should make a holo taco bottle shaped cat bed!!🐱
14:16 and here I am, dying for a return of the shade Double Dare 🥲
I was never able to get that one because it sold out so fast TWICE 😭. I want it to come back too.
