I left the simply stream, came here and watched the video so I could place my order with peace of mind! Thank you again for all of your lovely comparisons.
haha yess comparisons are a must!! i know a lot of people were expecting these to be exactly like other HT shades but they’re surprisingly pretty different 👀 i was shocked that the teak creme was also hard to dupe 🙈
I grabbed the bundle and shopped DAVIDsTEA for the first time. I’m excited for all the things! I love blue and teal and gray. Also, my mom would’ve been 73 on Tuesday and she loved her tea, so I feel like I’m honoring her memory with this purchase ☺️
Thanks for the review and especially for comparing Teal With It & Teal No Lies. Teal With It is calling to me, but I already have Teal No Lies and I can’t justify getting a lighter version of this color, especially since (1) I typically gravitate to darker colors which, and (2) I’m doing a low buy year and it’s only January 😅
Pearl Grey is just incredible! IDC if Holo Taco has a billion whites, this one is different! I hope they come out with more circle glitter + reflective polishes like it
Thank you for another amazing video. I admit I go straight to your videos for any release because your reviews are always on point. I have a big nail polish collection, so I am more picky about getting new colours. I might get the cream, but the other ones are too close to colours I own. Also, the off center logo on your mug convinced me of not getting it 😆.
aw thank youu for watching!! yeah theres something sooo satisfying about the creme 🤤 and i was surprised to not have a dupe for it either!! so i’d say its worth it haha. but ugh yeah the logo thing is so small, but bugs me so much 🙈 i wonder how many will be slightly off center bc from what i’ve seen from Cristine/Holo Taco, they were all centered!
Same! I rely on comparisons! I did pick up David’s Teal. I needed the comparison to Zoya’s Harbor and MC’s Paradise Found. I loved the teal glitter, too, but I just don’t think I’ll wear it. I haven’t worn Never Tide Down yet. I have Zoya’s Yuki and Seren, so the other two would just be dupes.
Watching this video talked me out of the only one I originally wanted and into the other three! I'll pick up ILNP's Funhouse at a later date to scratch that itch if i still need to.
omg thats too funny lol i’m glad i could help!! 🙈 i hope someone can share a direct comparison of Funhouse though, i feel like they’re gonna be soooo similar. idr if Funhouse has a dainty holo but even that is easy to add!
I had been working on attempting ilnp dupes for these shades but I ended up just buying the colors. I had points I needed to use and I had three other shades in my cart that I couldn’t surely dupe out. My ilnp cart remains full for another time. :)
@@ChristinaChilds-gk2zi The best thing about ILNP is that it will still be there. No FOMO to worry about. I also did want to get a few retiring/LE shades from Holo Taco, so it made sense to me.
I was literally just swatching Zoya's Harbor.....how dare you take the wind out of my sails lol. Thank you for the comparisons as always! So much work goes into that and I appreciate it!
@@PolishedYogi I didn't think I was going to get David's Teal because I own ILNP's Bottom's Up, and I never expected it to look so different! So tossed it in my cart! And Steep Dreams next to Playing With Sapphire sold me that they were different enough to keep it in my cart 💚
What a lovely collection! I thought the colour story was so well executed, and the skittle was so beautiful! Thanks Stephanie for your excellent swatches and review!
Thanks for the fantastic video as always, Stefanie! The thing I was most excited about was the mug, but I was very disappointed to see the holo effects and that it isn't microwave or dishwasher safe. I just don't reach for mugs with those limitations, I always end up using different mugs instead. When it comes to the polishes I'm not in a hurry at all to get any of them. If they're still available when the next collection comes out, I might pick up a couple (definitely not the white though lol).
You’re so welcome!! Ah yeah I’ve seen a lot of people mention that too about the mug. But yeah I’m curious to see how long the polishes will last! Other than the Birthstones, I feel like HT was doing well with having enough stock for LE releases. Assuming they have another release in Feb, you mighttt be able to still grab them. At least I’d hope so lol 🤞🏼
Thank you for your awesome review, Stefanie! I can always count on you to help me decide on a purchase. Your swatches and comparisons are always so helpful. Thanks again! ❤💅🏻
I love that as always we have different faves from the collection 😂😂 I also love how thorough your comparisons are 👏 and that full hand shot out of focus showing off all the holo is just stunning
i love this release! although i skipped it i think it would have been an insta-buy a few years ago, when i had way fewer polishes haha. but as a david's tea drinker i think this is an amazing collab. thank you for the quality content as always! i'm content knowing that similar polishes exist out there.
Ty for this video! Idk if im going to buy these... Maybe just David's Teal? I have ILNP Funhouse and I've yet to wear it! I don't know why either because it's beautiful. I have so many shimmery whites that I already don't wear, and I don't need another dark blue chrome flake polish. I don't like the mug, and I have SO many mugs I don't need another 😂 I really was hoping for more tea related themed polishes... like maybe a topper inspired by looking into a bag of loose leaf tea, a creme inspired by the notes describing a tea flavor, idk maybe that's too indie for the masses who purchase HT lol! Definitely a safe color story for a colab and they are pretty polishes. I just love tea and nail polish and I was just really hoping for more! I've skipped a lot of HT collections last year and only purchased a few individuals from different collections during BF. I do want to stock up on some Party of one Purples tho so maybe one or two of these will make it into my cart.
As much as I love all of these polishes, I'm not sure I'll pick up any of these. I'm out of space for more polishes!! I've already got Abandoned Boardwalks, Teal me no lies, & never tide down. I appreciate that the mug is nice and large and has a lid, but yeah due to the no microwave caveat, that was a deal-breaker. However If I see one turn up at at thrift store in the future I'll grab it 😄
Thank you for reviewing these! ❤ Another good comparison for Teal With It is Starrily’s Bellatrix. I’m also curious to see how DavidsTeal compares to Holo Taco’s Seafoam Home.
Thank you so much for all of the ILNP comparisons! I have almost all of those ILNP's and was sort of leaning towards not getting the HT collection. I love HT and David's Tea, however the ILNP's are fine enough dupes for me!
Hello Stefanie! Thank you so much for this video! The review and comparisons are always super helpful to stop me from duping myself. I just logged on the website, it was only 2h hours after the drop, and I've already missed out on the mug. Unfortunately, that was the only thing I wanted from this collection, as a big Davids fan and tea-drinker. Really frustrating that Holo Taco can't get the stock availability right lately...
Hi hi! You’re so welcome 🤗 and ahh yeah it’s a shame they sold out on the mugs so fast, I imagine that’s more on David’s Tea than Holo Taco (even though it was also on their website) but it still sucks :/ we can only hope DT will be able to restock the mug🤞🏼
Teal, tea, mug... the only thing missing would be a little purplish something to combining favorite things. I drink too much tea, I collect mugs (I'm why gift shops sell mugs) and the blue range is my fav. I bounce between navy to more baby blue/teal, so again... this collection! Holo Taco got me. And my intro to David's Tea I got a large sampling of their teas. Especially since coffee + chai seems to dominate my area of the PNW. Need more places to try before you buy tea.
I love any pastel like metallics and iridescent super shimmer for winter!.....Cristine has so much fun on her streams! But for me this metallic teal is more a summer stunner. Thank you for your comparisons. Would you say real life David'sTea creme color is a close Tiffany blue?
i wonder if they made it brighter to be more appealing as a polish color? bc the teal creme is much brighter than the teal color in the mug which i would say is more of a true teal vs a turquoise 🤔
@@kraziiXIII I feel this! Teal no Lies was teal. Bring me the teal is teal. Teal is blue with a dash of green while turquoise is green with a dash of blue and this collection is definitely the latter. Some people say it’s a “Tiffany Blue” which is supposedly a perfect mix of teal and turquoise? Either way, it feels like they did it for the tea puns. Regardless, many of us who are die-hard lovers of color are like “It’s turquoise, not teal, but I still like it because colors”.😅
@@emoolovesyouboo That's so interesting, I've always been a lover of these shades, but I feel the opposite! Turquoise to me is bluer like the stone, while teal always leans more green like tropical ocean waters. But linguistically speaking, aqua/ turquoise/ teal are all pretty interchangeable 💅
@@tabularasa I can see that-but I think the idea is that teal is generally darker. Like a deeper blue with a bit of green put in while turquoise is more of a lighter green with blue added. I cannot explain this well, but I know someone who sees this will understand what I’m saying.lol Regardless, blue-greens (dare I say “Bleens”lmao) are all just different beautiful shades of each other in the grand scheme of things and I will probably be interested in all of them regardless of what they’re called.😆
@ True, I neglected to mention dark/light value, that definitely affects perception of the color. I don't have a very big polish collection, but I find that I tend to sort my lighter blue-greens together, and my darker blue-greens together, and the lighter ones do tend to lean more blue while the darker ones lean more green. I wonder if that's just the nature of this color of pigment, or is it what I'm personally drawn to? I find that the new cream color looks really well balanced, bright but not too bright. It's also probably worth noting that in demos I've seen today, it dries down a few shades darker than what we can see in the bottle. Bring Me the Teal does that, too. I'm with you, I'll always love these shades no matter what they're called! Thanks for the color discourse lol
Have you tried Hydropower from HT? That's the aqua/turquoise linear holo that they make. It's bright with an intense holo flare, but it's a bit of a stainer, so double base coat is good! It probably leans a bit more blue when compared to the Davids trademark color, but it's close, maybe too close to justify making a linear formula for this collab. And your description of the formula for Teal With It sounds so similar to my experience with Teal No Lies, definitely quick-drying because it's loaded with so many micro foil flakes, so have to paint quickly and can't overwork it. Not a beginner formula, but gorgeous when painted well. I'm pretty stoked to wear them together! I skipped that huge mug, but got all the polishes! I'm super curious about the white glitter crelly. I passed on all the HT white polishes from last year, just didn't grab me, but this one feels different! Thanks for your video 💅
I got it eventhough I am on a no buy kick. Couldn’t help myself since I am trying to switch over to tea from coffee in the afternoon. I live in Mexico but am going back to Mi in June. I will have to wait till then to wear them so I don’t have to pack any to bring back with me for the summer. So excited 🎉
Love the reviews-the colour swatches this time were amazing, and I don’t think you missed any potential dupes. You certainly covered all the ones I was hoping for, and more!! Thankyou!! P.s. will you be doing cirque polish reviews in the future? I know there were all the issue you were mentioning last year, and they’ve had 2 collections come out in the past few weeks, so I’ve been waiting as you usually have them up by now…so just wondering if you’ve decided to stop 😊 but I also know it’s just been Christmas leave, so potentially that may account for the delay too (and they’re not LE so there’s no rush either 😊)
I was RARING to see David's Teal compared to ILNP Retro Teal! Glad they're not dupes; I like both. Pearl Grey is really pretty too - if you have time for other comparisons, how would it compare to ILNP Snow Angel?
Thank you for your review. I just impusle bought the whole collection without hesitation. They are sooo pretty! 🩵💙🩵 I have been wearing coral chaser on my nails for 3 weeks and it only chipped in one spot where it was totally my bad. I'm very impressed with their linear holor formula. They got my buck! 😁
I don’t really like teal but I love DAVIDs TEAL. It is turquoise enough make me really happy. I was willing to skip the collection entirely but the mug is perfect. I wasn’t willing to miss out on the crème. Is KB Shimmers “Roll on By” a dupe for DAVIDs TEAL❓
Your comparisons are such a feast for turquoise lovers! It is such a nuanced color. I don’t know if I need another teal/turquoise crème, but I hold space for anyone who does. 💙💚🤍
Hehe thank you!! Yeah I was definitely agreeing with people at first that we can find a dupe for the teal creme.. only to be proven wrong with my collection 🤪
Thank you for this video. It's always fun to have your thought about new release. I was tempted to purchase that collection, but I am happy that the collection is sold out already.The individual nail polish is still available, but after consideration I was not that into those colors. I had to give away a lot of mugs that I was never using this year as they were taking too much space in the cabinet.Its a pretty one, but for $30 I feel its a heavy price for this type of mug. I preferred my artisanal mug for tea, and I already have the metal strainer. At some point so much nail polish company and released and I have accumulated a lot of nail polishes that I can really pass on some collection.Somehow those limited edition create a reverse reaction on me, instead of rushing to buy them, I just ignore them I do not like being pressure about anything.It often creates a false need and interest. The nail polish are pretty, but so many released and so many colors, you cannot missed something you never had in the first place. I will survive without it.
Cristine was using the new mug with her mug warmer during today's launch stream so I think it's ok to use. Also what mug warmer would you suggest? I'd like to get one eventually.
I don’t know where mine is from since it was a gift, but I’m pretty sure it was from Amazon lol. Mine has 3 temp settings and shuts off automatically after about 4 hours, it’s simple but I love it 😁
I ended up buying the bundle for this one but really happy to see the review! Personally I dont mind the same colour being used as it makes sense for the collab and im really looking forward to teal with it. I do think we are done with the white leaning polishes from HT for a good long while though and I hope we dont see any more for a while! I do have mixed feelings about the collab as being from the UK, DAVIDsTEA doesnt ship here so I dont really understand the hype around it which is kinda a shame as I know Cristine isa super excited about it, but I quite liked the colours.
I think Pearl Grey would need it the most bc of the slightly larger glitters. I personally don’t find crushed holos difficult to remove but the micro-foil flakes in Teal With It would be more annoying/tedious since they can get more around the skin you know? So maybe a peel off base would be easier for that one too 😅
Thank you for the comparisons! I surprised myself and I really liked this collection! I really wanted an elegant white light gray polish, and I absolutely love the teals! Gonna pass on the crushed holo (not my fav formula), but I’d be curious to see how it compares to House of Hates by Mooncat!
You’re so welcome! 🤗 I’m glad this collection/color palette is so up your alley 😁 but ohh yeah I can share that comparison to my community tab once I’m back home! I always leave out HoH since it’s sooo glowy, but I really should show it for reference lol 🤦🏻♀️
@ that is a great point. Also I’m sure the foil finish is more appealing to the larger audience. I get it. I will wait patiently for the teal glitter that certainly will come one day.
Insert Simpsons meme: Haha I'm in Danger! I bet Teal With It layered on top of David's Teal would probably get you that opacity more quickly, gotta love that one coat formula! I wonder if Teal With It layered over top of Steep Dreams would look closer to Teal No Lies. Pearl Tea will probably be my favorite of the set but there's lots of layering potential in these four polishes.
This is a super cute collab! All of David's Teas mugs are non-dishwasher safe, so not shocked there. I'm skipping this collab. While I think they nailed it, I am just not super drawn to any of the shades. I like teal but I have a couple of teals in my collection already (like Teal No Lies) and I just don't reach for them much. The blue is the one I'd probably pick up out of all of them but Playing with Sapphire is just too similar for me (I know they're not that similar) to justify it I think. I also agree with you, if they busted out a teal chunky glitter...I would have been in trouble lol
I just got steep dreams. I think the shiny metallic one is gonna be a close to a 100% dupe for the ILNP polish so I skipped on that one. Still hoping for a chuncky glitter teal!! (Or any bright glitter at this point lmao)
i’m so in love with this quad! so sad that is has to be LE, it’s adoooorable! also i’m glad that i don’t NEED the mug and i was able to resist it lol i saved $30!!!
i knowww, collabs are always bittersweet for that reason 😭 but yeah the mug is def pricey, its nice it comes with a coaster/lid and infuser but still. at least it isn’t marked up even more for being a collab!
I hope this is the last white HT has in the production pipeline for a while, I've been seeing people complaining about all the white polishes for what feels like months so seeing ANOTHER one was a bit of a 😬moment lol
I don't get why people are so mad about the same-y polishes?? First of all no one is like making them buy it, and second of all they're not the same and I personally see them very differently as vibes ❤ great video, and thanks for taking the time to do so many comparisons 🎉
hmm maybeee, i’d guess it’d be best over lighter colors though due to the tinted base. simply showed it over the creme on her stream and you can tell it lightened it a bit
Bought the bundle and extra mug and each individual Polish back up. Teal is my favorite color so it was a no brainer. I love how the pearl Grey can be used as a topper so In my mind it's different than the other whites that have been offered.
I think I have too much nail polish. There are plenty of other polishes in my collection that scratch the teal itch better... And the mug... I get that the holo is a difficult thing to care for but I know my house and there's no WAY a mug wouldn't end up in the dishwasher.
It’s a great collection but will be passing on it all since I’m not likely to wear any of them except the grey. And I’m a coffee drinker so wouldn’t use the tea cup 😂 🤷🏼♀️
I mean this mug could also hold 2 cups of coffee! 🤣 but I totally understand skipping it too, it’s cute for being a collab but nothing we haven’t seen before!
Thank you for this awesome video, especially the comparisons!! 🩵 I would've loved to have seen Holo Taco Lite Link compared with Teal With It. 🤔 And, if you have it in your collection, I would love to see David's Teal compared to Alchemy Lacquer's Breakfast at La Tannya's (which, admittedly, is a bit more of a jelly formula, but the color seems very similar).
Idk why I refreshed-but I’m glad I did. Definitely briefly left the stream to get your take before watching the rest of it.🥲 I wish they were a little more blue, then they would feel like a true teal. The collection definitely feels more turquoise. Lucky for me, I like teal, tea, and turquoise, so I bought it.😅 I know a lot of people are hating on Pearl Grey, but this will be the first white/grey shimmer/glitter that I buy from HT-putting my whites from them at NMW, Ivory Tower, and Pearl Grey and I’m thrilled. I wonder if the people who are in a tizzy are the ones who often feel like they have to buy/like a full collection.🤔 Anywho, thanks for the video!
yeah i think turquoise is pretty color accurate! so i get that slight annoyance 😅 but right i’m the same way where i love all those kinda colors loll so i’m glad you picked these up! & i can def get why people are also annoyed at ‘another white’ but at least this one is LE so it wont be around for long! i do also wonder that though, bc its so easy to just ..not buy the collection and not be upset about it lol. but as a collector i guess it makes sense! but you’re so welcome!! 🤗
I left the simply stream, came here and watched the video so I could place my order with peace of mind! Thank you again for all of your lovely comparisons.

Hi hi! You’re so welcome 🤗 and ahh yeah it’s a shame they sold out on the mugs so fast, I imagine that’s more on David’s Tea than Holo Taco (even though it was also on their website) but it still sucks :/ we can only hope DT will be able to restock the mug🤞🏼
I only got Teal with It. I love the color and finish, especially that it still looks shiny in the shade, and can’t wait to get it ☺️
Love the comments haha. I didn't grab the mug bc its not “me” but its so cute in your thumbnail I'm
Like… should I have grabbed that?!? Lol
lol aw! I mean it’s def a pricey mug, so I’d say skipping it isn’t the worst decision 😝
Teal, tea, mug... the only thing missing would be a little purplish something to combining favorite things. I drink too much tea, I collect mugs (I'm why gift shops sell mugs) and the blue range is my fav. I bounce between navy to more baby blue/teal, so again... this collection!
Holo Taco got me. And my intro to David's Tea I got a large sampling of their teas. Especially since coffee + chai seems to dominate my area of the PNW. Need more places to try before you buy tea.
Thank you! I love your honesty 🦋
Of course 🤗
David's TEAL looks like Cirque's Lagoon Jelly to me! Can you do that comparison- maybe in a reel??
I love any pastel like metallics and iridescent super shimmer for winter!.....Cristine has so much fun on her streams! But for me this metallic teal is more a summer stunner.
Thank you for your comparisons. Would you say real life David'sTea creme color is a close Tiffany blue?
Ironically I don't consider the color of David'sTEAl as teal. I think it is a turquoise. The Retro Teal color comes off as a real teal color.
i wonder if they made it brighter to be more appealing as a polish color? bc the teal creme is much brighter than the teal color in the mug which i would say is more of a true teal vs a turquoise 🤔
@@kraziiXIII I feel this! Teal no Lies was teal. Bring me the teal is teal. Teal is blue with a dash of green while turquoise is green with a dash of blue and this collection is definitely the latter. Some people say it’s a “Tiffany Blue” which is supposedly a perfect mix of teal and turquoise? Either way, it feels like they did it for the tea puns. Regardless, many of us who are die-hard lovers of color are like “It’s turquoise, not teal, but I still like it because colors”.😅
@@emoolovesyouboo That's so interesting, I've always been a lover of these shades, but I feel the opposite! Turquoise to me is bluer like the stone, while teal always leans more green like tropical ocean waters. But linguistically speaking, aqua/ turquoise/ teal are all pretty interchangeable 💅
@@tabularasa I can see that-but I think the idea is that teal is generally darker. Like a deeper blue with a bit of green put in while turquoise is more of a lighter green with blue added. I cannot explain this well, but I know someone who sees this will understand what I’m saying.lol Regardless, blue-greens (dare I say “Bleens”lmao) are all just different beautiful shades of each other in the grand scheme of things and I will probably be interested in all of them regardless of what they’re called.😆
@ True, I neglected to mention dark/light value, that definitely affects perception of the color. I don't have a very big polish collection, but I find that I tend to sort my lighter blue-greens together, and my darker blue-greens together, and the lighter ones do tend to lean more blue while the darker ones lean more green. I wonder if that's just the nature of this color of pigment, or is it what I'm personally drawn to?
I find that the new cream color looks really well balanced, bright but not too bright. It's also probably worth noting that in demos I've seen today, it dries down a few shades darker than what we can see in the bottle. Bring Me the Teal does that, too. I'm with you, I'll always love these shades no matter what they're called! Thanks for the color discourse lol
So worried about having a dupe for the creme (olive ave) so THANK YOU for your comparisons, they're always so helpful! 🩵
of course!! it was crazy to see just how different those creams ended up being! 🙈
I love the last 2 especially the cream one so pretty and the dark blue the other 2 are nice.
Have you tried Hydropower from HT? That's the aqua/turquoise linear holo that they make. It's bright with an intense holo flare, but it's a bit of a stainer, so double base coat is good! It probably leans a bit more blue when compared to the Davids trademark color, but it's close, maybe too close to justify making a linear formula for this collab. And your description of the formula for Teal With It sounds so similar to my experience with Teal No Lies, definitely quick-drying because it's loaded with so many micro foil flakes, so have to paint quickly and can't overwork it. Not a beginner formula, but gorgeous when painted well. I'm pretty stoked to wear them together! I skipped that huge mug, but got all the polishes! I'm super curious about the white glitter crelly. I passed on all the HT white polishes from last year, just didn't grab me, but this one feels different! Thanks for your video 💅
I got it eventhough I am on a no buy kick. Couldn’t help myself since I am trying to switch over to tea from coffee in the afternoon. I live in Mexico but am going back to Mi in June. I will have to wait till then to wear them so I don’t have to pack any to bring back with me for the summer. So excited 🎉
Love the reviews-the colour swatches this time were amazing, and I don’t think you missed any potential dupes. You certainly covered all the ones I was hoping for, and more!! Thankyou!!
P.s. will you be doing cirque polish reviews in the future? I know there were all the issue you were mentioning last year, and they’ve had 2 collections come out in the past few weeks, so I’ve been waiting as you usually have them up by now…so just wondering if you’ve decided to stop 😊 but I also know it’s just been Christmas leave, so potentially that may account for the delay too (and they’re not LE so there’s no rush either 😊)
I was RARING to see David's Teal compared to ILNP Retro Teal! Glad they're not dupes; I like both. Pearl Grey is really pretty too - if you have time for other comparisons, how would it compare to ILNP Snow Angel?
Teal, my favorite!💙
So so pretty right!
I'm not usually a cream kind of person, but David'sTeal is really tempting cus of how smooth and creamy AND it being a one coater! QnQ
Thank you for your review. I just impusle bought the whole collection without hesitation. They are sooo pretty! 🩵💙🩵
I have been wearing coral chaser on my nails for 3 weeks and it only chipped in one spot where it was totally my bad. I'm very impressed with their linear holor formula. They got my buck! 😁
I don’t really like teal but I love DAVIDs TEAL. It is turquoise enough make me really happy. I was willing to skip the collection entirely but the mug is perfect. I wasn’t willing to miss out on the crème. Is KB Shimmers “Roll on By” a dupe for DAVIDs TEAL❓
Thank you so much, Stefanie!🤗
you’re so welcome! 💙
All I got was teal with it. I don't think the teals will look good with my skin tone but my husband liked that one so I picked it up
Your comparisons are such a feast for turquoise lovers! It is such a nuanced color. I don’t know if I need another teal/turquoise crème, but I hold space for anyone who does. 💙💚🤍
Hehe thank you!! Yeah I was definitely agreeing with people at first that we can find a dupe for the teal creme.. only to be proven wrong with my collection 🤪
Thank you for this video. It's always fun to have your thought about new release. I was tempted to purchase that collection, but I am happy that the collection is sold out already.The individual nail polish is still available, but after consideration I was not that into those colors. I had to give away a lot of mugs that I was never using this year as they were taking too much space in the cabinet.Its a pretty one, but for $30 I feel its a heavy price for this type of mug. I preferred my artisanal mug for tea, and I already have the metal strainer. At some point so much nail polish company and released and I have accumulated a lot of nail polishes that I can really pass on some collection.Somehow those limited edition create a reverse reaction on me, instead of rushing to buy them, I just ignore them I do not like being pressure about anything.It often creates a false need and interest. The nail polish are pretty, but so many released and so many colors, you cannot missed something you never had in the first place. I will survive without it.
Any idea how Davids Teal compares to Holo Taco Sea Foam Home?
Cristine was using the new mug with her mug warmer during today's launch stream so I think it's ok to use. Also what mug warmer would you suggest? I'd like to get one eventually.
I don’t know where mine is from since it was a gift, but I’m pretty sure it was from Amazon lol. Mine has 3 temp settings and shuts off automatically after about 4 hours, it’s simple but I love it 😁
I ended up buying the bundle for this one but really happy to see the review! Personally I dont mind the same colour being used as it makes sense for the collab and im really looking forward to teal with it. I do think we are done with the white leaning polishes from HT for a good long while though and I hope we dont see any more for a while! I do have mixed feelings about the collab as being from the UK, DAVIDsTEA doesnt ship here so I dont really understand the hype around it which is kinda a shame as I know Cristine isa super excited about it, but I quite liked the colours.
I’ve already ordered this collection, so I was really happy to see this video! Hooray!
Yayy can’t wait for you to get it! 🥳
Steep dreams is beautiful! My first intro to DavidsTea.
It really is!! And same, I just placed an order this morning! Excited to try some of their teas and matcha 😋
With the 3 speciality polishes, are there any that you recommend peely base for for ease of removal?
I think Pearl Grey would need it the most bc of the slightly larger glitters. I personally don’t find crushed holos difficult to remove but the micro-foil flakes in Teal With It would be more annoying/tedious since they can get more around the skin you know? So maybe a peel off base would be easier for that one too 😅
Do you have OPI Can't Find my Czechbook? That's the David's Teal comparison I'm wanting...
Aw no I don’t, sorry! I can see that one being closer than I’m Yacht Leaving, but it might be too blue to be an exact dupe
Thank you for the comparisons! I surprised myself and I really liked this collection! I really wanted an elegant white light gray polish, and I absolutely love the teals! Gonna pass on the crushed holo (not my fav formula), but I’d be curious to see how it compares to House of Hates by Mooncat!
You’re so welcome! 🤗 I’m glad this collection/color palette is so up your alley 😁 but ohh yeah I can share that comparison to my community tab once I’m back home! I always leave out HoH since it’s sooo glowy, but I really should show it for reference lol 🤦🏻♀️
Love the whole collection and getting it. BUT - where is our teal glitter??!!
i knoww, but think of it as a good thing! otherwise it would’ve been LE which would have been a shame. fingers crossed we get one soon though!
@ that is a great point. Also I’m sure the foil finish is more appealing to the larger audience. I get it. I will wait patiently for the teal glitter that certainly will come one day.
Thank Stephanie!
You’re so welcome!
Insert Simpsons meme: Haha I'm in Danger! I bet Teal With It layered on top of David's Teal would probably get you that opacity more quickly, gotta love that one coat formula! I wonder if Teal With It layered over top of Steep Dreams would look closer to Teal No Lies. Pearl Tea will probably be my favorite of the set but there's lots of layering potential in these four polishes.
hi stefanie, you look gorgeous in teal.. i think that color suits you really well..
This is a super cute collab! All of David's Teas mugs are non-dishwasher safe, so not shocked there. I'm skipping this collab. While I think they nailed it, I am just not super drawn to any of the shades. I like teal but I have a couple of teals in my collection already (like Teal No Lies) and I just don't reach for them much. The blue is the one I'd probably pick up out of all of them but Playing with Sapphire is just too similar for me (I know they're not that similar) to justify it I think.
I also agree with you, if they busted out a teal chunky glitter...I would have been in trouble lol
Many of their mugs can go in the dishwasher, but not the steeper. I never put the lid in either.
They're pretty but not unique in the least. I have plenty that are close enough to pass on these.
totally get that!
🎯
I just got steep dreams. I think the shiny metallic one is gonna be a close to a 100% dupe for the ILNP polish so I skipped on that one. Still hoping for a chuncky glitter teal!! (Or any bright glitter at this point lmao)
Yeah I can def see Teal With It being superrr close to Funhouse so it’s more worth skipping! But YES omg plsss would love more glitters 😭😭
I also painted my room that turquoise/teal in middle school 😂 it must’ve been a thing
yessss the memories lol 🥹
i’m so in love with this quad! so sad that is has to be LE, it’s adoooorable! also i’m glad that i don’t NEED the mug and i was able to resist it lol i saved $30!!!
i knowww, collabs are always bittersweet for that reason 😭 but yeah the mug is def pricey, its nice it comes with a coaster/lid and infuser but still. at least it isn’t marked up even more for being a collab!
I hope this is the last white HT has in the production pipeline for a while, I've been seeing people complaining about all the white polishes for what feels like months so seeing ANOTHER one was a bit of a 😬moment lol
as a white polish lover, i agree 😅 this one feels sooo soon after Glazed Over & Swan Song especially!
I feel like pearl grey is a mix between featured guest and got cake?
I can kinda see that, but it’s missing the purple shimmer and iridescent flakes from Got Cake so it’s more silvery !
I don't get why people are so mad about the same-y polishes?? First of all no one is like making them buy it, and second of all they're not the same and I personally see them very differently as vibes ❤ great video, and thanks for taking the time to do so many comparisons 🎉
Can Pearl Grey be used as a topper?
hmm maybeee, i’d guess it’d be best over lighter colors though due to the tinted base. simply showed it over the creme on her stream and you can tell it lightened it a bit
Yes! On stream, Cristine used it as a topper over David’s Teal and it looked gorgeous.
Bought the bundle and extra mug and each individual Polish back up. Teal is my favorite color so it was a no brainer. I love how the pearl Grey can be used as a topper so In my mind it's different than the other whites that have been offered.
I can’t for summer
I think I have too much nail polish. There are plenty of other polishes in my collection that scratch the teal itch better... And the mug... I get that the holo is a difficult thing to care for but I know my house and there's no WAY a mug wouldn't end up in the dishwasher.
I grabbed the bundle right at launch! So happy i did as the mug and the bundle sold out! ❤
Wow you really put in the extra time to find a dupe, but I don't think it's unfortunate that you didn't! Means it's unique
It’s a great collection but will be passing on it all since I’m not likely to wear any of them except the grey. And I’m a coffee drinker so wouldn’t use the tea cup 😂 🤷🏼♀️
I mean this mug could also hold 2 cups of coffee! 🤣 but I totally understand skipping it too, it’s cute for being a collab but nothing we haven’t seen before!
@ I did have to resist getting that mug for sure! 😂
I bought only the mug. Nice collection though.
The mug is so pretty! 🖤
I love that teal with it is a dupe for catfished by Mooncat
i mean is it?? i wouldn't consider it lol 😅
@ it’s perhaps a bit warmer than catfished but a dupe in my eyes
Thank you for this awesome video, especially the comparisons!! 🩵 I would've loved to have seen Holo Taco Lite Link compared with Teal With It. 🤔 And, if you have it in your collection, I would love to see David's Teal compared to Alchemy Lacquer's Breakfast at La Tannya's (which, admittedly, is a bit more of a jelly formula, but the color seems very similar).
Idk why I refreshed-but I’m glad I did. Definitely briefly left the stream to get your take before watching the rest of it.🥲
I wish they were a little more blue, then they would feel like a true teal. The collection definitely feels more turquoise. Lucky for me, I like teal, tea, and turquoise, so I bought it.😅
I know a lot of people are hating on Pearl Grey, but this will be the first white/grey shimmer/glitter that I buy from HT-putting my whites from them at NMW, Ivory Tower, and Pearl Grey and I’m thrilled. I wonder if the people who are in a tizzy are the ones who often feel like they have to buy/like a full collection.🤔
Anywho, thanks for the video!
yeah i think turquoise is pretty color accurate! so i get that slight annoyance 😅 but right i’m the same way where i love all those kinda colors loll so i’m glad you picked these up!
& i can def get why people are also annoyed at ‘another white’ but at least this one is LE so it wont be around for long! i do also wonder that though, bc its so easy to just ..not buy the collection and not be upset about it lol. but as a collector i guess it makes sense!
but you’re so welcome!! 🤗
Wanted to be more excited for this quad, but not enough to purchase 🫤
aw thats okay!! think of the money you’re saving instead lol but i hope you’ll like their next collection more 🤗
