I always used Sally Hansen bc I didn't know that you could buy polish that actually dries LOL
ME TOOOOO
Also looking at Essie 👀
Wait...AHH WHICH ONES DRY WELL. HELP A PERSON HERE
folompleonleaves sinful colours, Morgan Taylor, (and in my experience) the sally hansen miracle gel, also getting a good topcoat helps dry the polish!
folompleonleaves that’s going to depend on your body chemistry. What never dries on one, may dry fine on another. I’ve never had a polish never dry on me.
Not that I ever wear pastels (literally never), but holo pastels could be nice.
amazing idea!!
I agree
inlimboxyu omg that’s kinda like the Menchie polish
Same. It’s not holo but I’ve been wearing Cosmic Unicorn Skin over Essie Ballet Slippers if I am looking for something quick and easy. It is and it’s pretty.
Unicorn skin pastels!!!
I am still waiting for Holo Taco to do more plain colors! I don't really wear dark nail polish. But I want something with a good formula. I would also love if you guys did multichromes!!!!
im pretty sure they are working on it
Multichromes!!!! 🙌🏻😍
Try ilnp. I'm sure holo taco will get to everything eventually but ilnp & Zoya are amazing too.
this aged well!!
I agree ☝🏼 I’m plain, however I love a good lilac or orchid.
It would be really cool to have nude holos. Like a similar formula as the linear rainbow collection but then a range from a deep dark warm brown to a pale beige pink. It would look different from just a holo topcoat over a nude since the holo would be in a coloured gelly base and it would look way more dimensional. It would also be cool if the holo itself was coloured nude instead of just silver.
It would be the most holo sexual collection since they're nudes ;)
Omfg I would LOVE this
Yup that's what I want!!
ILNP has some stuff like this!
Good for at work
I’ve done nude and grey polish with a holo top coat. It’s a great look. Is subdued enough for a moderate work environment while still making me feel like the prettiest princess.
I'll save yall 3 minutes of your time. She doesn't mention any brands like the title says...she just says she doesn't like drugstore
Thank you
I love these small clips from the podcasts.
April fools joke next year: comparing nude polishes.
with a clickbait title too would make it great
I would buy 'regular' or 'boring' colors from your brand as you have taken the time to build the relationship between you and quality products. I 'feel' as if each of your polishes have been thoroughly tested by you to ensure that they are high performing. You have shown us video evidence of that! The 'drugstore' or 'boring' brands - while yes, they are much more widely spread - cannot hold a candle to your One Coat Black. I have 7 other black polishes that I don't even use - because I got some One Coat Black. I am patiently waiting for Royal-tea blue to come back in stock because I NEED it.
This was a long comment but my point is - you have built the brand loyalty that equates into people continuing to buy your product - even though it is at a higher price point - because you built that relationship, and they KNOW they will get quality.
KNOCK THEM OTHER COMPANIES OFF THEIR STUPID DRUGSTORE PEDESTALS~!
Totally
Facts.
Agreed
Yes please.. I WANT BORING CREME BY HOLO TACO!! I will automatically know it's going to be a high quality product. TAKE MY MONEY CRISTINE!!!😂😂
BUT SERIOUSLY.. DO IT!!!
This is why I would want Holo Taco Cremes so I know that what is going on my nail is high quality
I buy color club ones tbh
She could even call them boring red, boring pink as a line THE BORING CREMES
Yesss exactly
OMG I thought I was alone.... I keep daydreaming about holo taco nudes. They could have holo too like the ilnp ones but still be boring, I'm sure they wouldn't be too boring cos she'll put her own spin on them.
I feel like some neon crèmes would be a fantastic addition to the holo taco lineup. Opaque neons are definitely something you can’t find at the drug store, plus they fit holo taco’s brand really well imho
I think a lot of people have always thought of Holo Taco as Christine's brand, but Ben always refers to it as theirs and seems to be really invested. How involved is Ben? What is his role in the business?
bwicket thats a really good question
Isn’t he a tester?
He’s the guinea pig lol
Haven’t they discussed this a bit in a previous episode? It is Cristine’s brand. But he does a lot to help. I think more on the business/money side of things
Tax and all the stuff related I think LOL
Hearing Ben say, "Special Effect Topper" had me giddy
I disagree about disliking a whole brand. Ice brand from Walmart is trash.
agreed
@Alicia P I found their polish never wanted to dry. Even with a top coat my nails were denting the next day. Just not a good brand
Oh- I though nail polishes are just like that 😳
@@Orchidlettux nope they should harden within an hour of application. Some times it can be a crap top coat but in Ice case it’s crappy polish. Sally is probably the best wide spread drug store nail polish. They still have a few misses pigment wise but they are usually pretty good. The Xtreame and Hard As Nails formulas rarely disappoint.
Edit: On and the Sally Hansen Insta Dry top coat in the red bottle is a pretty good drugstore top coat.
I had a pink polish from them as a kid. I kept it for years. It never worked nicely.
Does anyone else have this that everytime when I search for Mooncat videos, this one comes up in the results?? 🤣
Yes!! I was just looking up some reviews and was hoping she would mention them at some point.. very disappointed lmao i think she'd really like them!
Yess
Neutral nail polishes.... yes, I definitely have neutrals....
*looks at an entire tower of hot pink, blues, greens, and purples all in different finishes*
Girl just say Essie we’re all thinking it
LMFAO!!! yes! This was the very first brand that popped into my mind!!
I’ve actually been really liking Essie lately... 😬 Yes, they don’t have a lot of exciting colors but I do like how smoothly it applies.
@@aacsmiles yes and they have a new formula that dries pretty quickly
Awww Essie’s one of my favorite mainstream brands. 🥺
Essie's been getting alot better lately with new brushes and trying more unique colours
I love that you guys post these highlights. thank you for being accessible!
I edited my post so the like went away, but thank you for the acknowledgment 🥺
A Burgundy holo would be gorgeous
I love the “skin tone holo” idea ive seen some people mention, I would 100% buy that
Seriously I need you all to make a pink. I mean HOT PINK, your cremes are dreamy and would just love your quality in those type of polishes. Yes we have them but they are not the quality that we get from Holo taco. I mean I would love for all my layers to be the same brand because sometimes I find mixing brands just doesn’t go well together.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love holo in all its kinds and forms but I love pastels as well! Not nude, I find it boring, but a pale pink, baby blue, light violet, mint green, etc. are some of my favourite colours in general, including nail polish colours. However I agree with Cristine, you could find those polishes anywhere and Holo Taco always comes out with something unique and I think it should stay that way
I highly recommend trying Linear Holo over some form of pearl nailpolish, I got a few from the OPI pearl line and they work wonderfully with Linear Holo Taco.
@@Mokomis_ great idea
Idk their indigo and blue colours aren't that unique, I've had similar coloured polishes since I was a kid. I don't see why they can't release lighter coloured bases
Ugh I would love holo taco to make more base colors. I know they’re like everywhere but like I like holo taco’s formula sooo much better than any other company.
Same! The Holo Taco formula is so much better. I would die for some creme and nude base colours from Cristine!
We have boring creme polishes, but we want your one cost amazing formula. I’d love to see a line of rainbow one coat crèmes
When I saw the title, I immediately thought of Essie
Essie is the worst. Horrible quality, needs multiple coats, and it's expensive for what it is.
What I like about Essie is the tiny brushes. For doing my toenails, I’m screwed with most brushes, because the brush is bigger than my toenail! My pinkies are tiny too, so it’s tricky. But I wish they built up better and dried better.
@@JClover2 Essie is ridiculously expensive for its quality. The drugstore polishes I get in my country would cost around $2 and are 100 times better
What 😳 I think essie has a great quality. The worst i had til now is from ciate 🙄
@@septemberabend1 maybe it depends on the specific polish. The 2 I have are not good but maybe some other formulas work better.
I understand where Cristine is coming from feeling like her consumers would already have these baseline products as they're wide spread, but the issue is they aren't wide spread in high quality in my opinion. Or at the very least not as well formulated as the Holo Taco formulas. In my experience, most high quality formulas are going to have to be ordered online since they aren't really readily available. If I'm shopping online, I'd much rather be supporting my Holo Queen! 💿👸
Amen
“Pastels and cremes aren’t really part of the brand”
8 months later...
They had to listen to their customers. And they really know how to make a good crème!
fave nail product: holotaco only brand thats helped me stop biting my nails!
my favourite is illimité :)
Well that doesn't make sense.
Any polish would make you stop biting your nails if nail polish is the solution for *your* type of anxiety. Unless it's because of the glitter finish, but then again, holotaco is definitely not the only brand with glitter polish
@@victormunhozzz I think it's more because she has a connection to holotaco deeper than you're typical drug store nail polish. It's not that holotaco itself is a cure. It's the mindset behind specifically holotaco.
Victor Munhoz LMAO you dont know me and I dont know you. If this is my favorite brand thats my OPINION and I have freedom of speech to say its what has helped ME.
@@merc4078 preach!!
If Holo Taco made cream polish it would not be boring because their formula is off the charts AMAZING!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I think that with the brand's starting products being toppers like the unicorn skins and the holo tacos it makes a lot of sense for the brand's image to add basic cremes to the line over time! Even if you only release a few neutrals in a year, that's all you need to build up a universal base. Kick off with a beigey pink and a chocolate brown and that's enough to include just about every skin tone in two cremes.
Also, some nude linear holos would be killer. Like, a lawyer or doctor could wear some holo beige to work and their professional image wouldn't suffer.
I like how thoughtful Ben is about the business. He pays attention to feedback.
I am the exact opposite - I exclusively creme nudes and pinks (occasionally red if I feel adventurous) I tbh I extremely dislike any sort of glitter, holo, multi-anything
I agree, they're so flattering
I know they're Both Mature Adults who are being Professional but I have to admit it's rather boring to not name names and constantly be so Careful. I guess most of us seek the drama nowadays because it's exciting to hear someone voice opinions but. Nice to see someone act like a human being online lol.
Also. Probably a possibility of getting sued
for me, as someone whose interest in nail polish i actually want to own and use kind of starts and ends with holo taco and your channel, I don’t have those basic nude and pink creme polishes already, and i also don’t feel i have the knowledge to be able to find another brand that’s as well formulated as holo taco on my own. Currently your brand is the only high-end nail polish brand that i have faith that is high quality and i will enjoy, that i know of. And so, of course i would want Holo Taco to release a creme line, because its something i want to buy and own to use with your other products, and i don’t know where else to get it currently, even if it’s clearly not holo taco’s focus as a brand.
Just in case you maybe wanted to try some other brands, Kathleenlights brand Lights Lacquer has really nice cremes (her supernova collection is beautiful if you like purples) as well as the brand Cirque Colors (awesome neons and duochromes).
@@dawn7685 thanks!!
There's nothing *wrong* with drugstore brands. I have 2 dollar ones that perform fantastic up to 15 dollar indies. The important factors are base and top coat. I don't understand why'd you limit yourself over something like brand, there's sooo much color out there, just watch swatch videos on youtube. Apparently I'm a salon perfect girl, which is a 4 dollar polish from walmart. Their neon collection is superb. Essie has me covered with soft tone cremes. China Glaze has my one coat black. (Cristine's suggestion btw) Sinful Colors has my one coat white. OPI has my favorite white. Just watch swatch videos.
Tastes are very different. I love nudes and browns and creme colours for nailpolish, but I also appreciate all the unique polishes from your brand. I'd wear them as accent nails but I could never wear them on all my fingers. I just love classy, clean minimalistic nails and that's ok. I'd still buy a holo taco immediately if you'd shipped to my country 😅
Everyone seems to love Essie, but for some reason Essie hates my nails. My base and top coat are fine, because they work with every other polish that I have had, but Essie cracks within a day, or peels off (yes I wrap the tip etc), doesn't apply smoothly etc.
And the polish isn't faulty either, because it works for everyone else who've tried my Essie polishes. I guess my nails are as cheap as me, because Essence, Flormal and Catrice work the best for my nails. Lasts for over a week before it even chips.
Expensive things alot of times are scam...you will find alot of people share the same opinion with you Essie doesn't worth the hype ..and I'm one from them
I think that Holo Taco pastels could be nice, but like, in the future maybe. Because you've pointed out before, polishes from the same brand *tend* to work better together. I'm not saying a full set of neutrals, but like, what I see people usually call the Easter Egg spread of colors. Even a set of four of like, light pink/yellow/green/blue.
But she did come out with pastels and cremes
Poparazzi (CVS Pharmacy's house brand) makes nice multi chromes. I bought Mermaid Charade and Born Unicorn today. The only drawback is that you have to use a black nail polish for a base to make these colors really pop. I used LA Colors Color Last polish in Onyx (CNP 31), because it doesn't take more than two coats to build the color, and it dries pretty quick.
I did not belive that i whould like this podcast and i was shocked when you put first episode of this i love it!
I personally like neutral polishes because they go well with most of my outfits and I feel like they're flattering for my finger shape
I’m here after holo taco just created a pastel pink and a cyan color! I’m glad to know she is branching out and making all kinds of polishes!
1:16 -- oh, how the tables have turned. Personally, I love that Holo Taco is slowly expanding into cremes. I enjoy sparkle once in a while, especially the unicorn toppers, and the new shimmer is gorgeous, but generally speaking I want my nails to be a dark creme with a light accent color (or vice versa). The new "pastel violet," laven-duh color is especially beautiful. I just wish it came out 5 months ago. This collection matched my wedding colors exactly, and it would've been nice to have a high quality creme to wear that day xD
:looks at pastel rainbow Holo collection on my shelf:
Watching this thinking, but you have so many pastels, Cristine! Then I realized this was posted a year ago. Awesome progress, Holo Taco!
Cristine: "everyone has a nude or beige base coat!"
Me, looking at my one single bottle of black nail polish on my desk
I would love a line of pastel cremes to put unicorn skin/ frosty blue holo.
Who’s here in 22’ when Holo taco cremes are flourishing?
Neon holos please. Need me a good neon green!
Listening to this 2 years later and HoloTaco now has crémes! 💅🏻
And pastels to boot!
NAIL PRISMS SALLY HANSON was my favorite back in the day ♡
I think I still have a few of them in my 'I can't throw away drawer'
I LOVE the wet and wild no black light gel polishes that they had a few years ago. I think they discontinued the line but when I saw them on clearance at Walgreens I bought one in each shade and 3 in black because they’re my favorite. They go so long without chipping and were less than $5 a bottle.
Are those the square-ish ones? So good
i would buy like a earth tone holo or shimmer collection tbh! i love browns and earthy tones but i NEED mah holo
We own the beige and pink, but it's low quality :-(
I would love some pastel purple and baby pink 🥺💜💕
do I own 5 different classic dark red nail polishes? Yes. Am I 100% happy with any of them? Nope. I would love a really good quality dark red nail polish! Like the one coat black but just in red!
When you totally get Cristine’s logic....but also would die for just a few good quality holo taco pastel base colours 🤣😍 *dreams of pink/lilac/sky blue/mint collection* cough oooh and maybe a lemon cough 😆 okay I’ll stop now
cristine: it’s just like makeup.
ben: mmhm
I really want Holo Taco nudes!! Especially in nude shades that are hard to find. I love doing funky French nails that are neon colors on the top with a nude base and a topper ✨✨
just noticed Ben repping the Ottawa Senators. I've been getting into a hockey recently and would love to have a segment from Ben talking about hockey and the teams he likes and the state of current playoff teams
Okay but YES though!!! I noticed his sweatshirt immediately and I'd love to see a segment like that!
@@percyh7249 Ben is so intelligent and it would be fun to hear his opinions!
essie. I dont know what it is but their nail polish doesn't last past a day on my nails. it cracks within 24 hours
I hate essie polishes because they take forever to dry down. half the time I use one I fuck up the final result by bumping my nails against something and smear it all around, because it’s been 20 minutes and OOPS the polish still hasn’t set!! and they always peel off my nails like the day after I apply.
I love Sally hansen, atleast the insta dry ones .
Their nail hardeners are amazing ,i love what they do for my nails
Omg, I actually live for this
I think a collegiate line would be so cool. Like, I’m attending Mizzou, and you could pair black and gold together in a bundle 🤩
Funny she used liquid lipstick as an example because the ONLY one I have ever found that lasted more than an hour is Cover Girl Outlast but it still dries my lips out even with the gloss. Finally gave up on it when they changed my go to color to a different formula.
Try Maybelline superstay liquid inks
I would love a nude nail polish collection from holo taco (even one with a twist), since a lot of professionals can’t really wear non-neutrals to their office!
No ads? Come on, girl! You deserve the revenue!
I just recently bought the glossy taco and one of the holo tacos and I cant express how much I love them! I'm usually not super bold tho, and I'd love to see some good quality "boring" polishes or multichromes especially since I really appreciate how your brand is vegan and cruelty free.
This is such a fair statement! My gateway nail polish brand was Essie and I still love their wide flat brush. I do love their more recent collections with easy to use cremes but since I got into Indie brands and holo...it’s hard to look back! 😆 Having less time for dry time with 2 little ones, I’m getting into gels and wondering, can I add holo taco over a dry, cured gel nail polish? Most gels can be boring creme formulas. 😔
I don't actually own any beige or light pink cremes. I always mean to buy one and just... always buy something more exciting instead.
I like painting my nails but I gotta be careful to use colors that don’t catch my eye (so like neutral colors or soft colors). I’ve got a bad habit of biting them so I’ve learned out of sight out of mind kind of thing works best for me. So a neutral color that blends in helps me forget I have nails but when I do accidentally glance at them I don’t get fixated on all the tiny little details of my nails, and I only have a passing thought of “yay pretty nails”
*proceeds to make pastel collection*
I love how involved ben is
I don’t do other pastels because a lot of the formulas are streaky. I trust your quality control and would definitely buy your pastels!
and here she is, releasing holo taco pastels
I do have to say, using products across brands, is actually where you run into issues due to differences in formula. Like a Holo Taco base and top coat with a boring creme from a different brand in the middle may not last as long as if all 3 polishes were specifically Holo Taco's formula.
I think it would be cool if Christine came out with a line that the colors are really rare. So it would kinda be like Gucci but for color if that makes sense. ( Like Vantablack, Fulvous, Glaucous, Xanadu, and coquelicot) also not saying doing another black but just colors that you don’t usually see people make or wear.
i would love to see some of these shades as cremes! sage & military green, mauve, ginger, thulian pink, fire brick red and a mustard yellow 😍
A sparkly nude and pink collection would be so pretty for the winter! Since the 2000s are coming back, a glittery baby pink would be everything
I have a love-hate relationship with Essie. I like a lot of their color options, but the formulas are so hit-and-miss. Sometimes the cremes don’t dry, and sometimes the sheers don’t level out enough to look good. I used to be a big Mint Candy Apple fan, would probably buy that one again.
I rarly wear nail polish bit since covid i been doing a lot of practice. I love doing glitter but i had to take a bake because my nail were getting week and cracking and peeling. Your tutorials have helped a lot.
beige, pink, and milky white. Love them all and wear them most often. YOU I watch for care tips and entertainment.
And now there's pastels lol
I love the ps gel effect polishes from Primark (live in the UK) dries super fast, long lasting and most are smooth one coaters.
Hi!! I love your videos so much! Hope you feel better!! 💕
Is there such a thing as a Matt yellow nail polish?
Yes! I have one from china glaze x sesame street collection
"Beak on fleek" it's the perfect sunflower color
I think Cristine has a point, though. It's easy and (relatively) cheap to get a lot of the basic colors in solidly performing formulas. As a brand, HoloTaco would have to really consider if the return on investment makes sense for a "basic" creme polish. I can't imagine Cristine would be okay with just a meh formula, so the polish would be good, but would enough people be willing to pay $13/bottle plus shipping for basic colors they can pick up at Target for half that or less? I don't know the answer to that, but if I were Cristine, I wouldn't do it unless I did know the answer to that - or at least a pretty solid idea.
I love the holo taco creme formula and would love to have more colour options. The Holo taco top coats sit so well on them.
i actually don't have any "boring" nail polish since i only own holo taco polish.... lol!
i have so many boring polishes that i don't use anymore because i almost strictly use Holo Taco. not sure what to do with the boring polishes
For real had a Sally Hanson polish eat my nails off of my fingers...and it was a holo nude🤦♀️ Never again with that brand!
I love Essie's colors but my nails dont always agree with them in terms of drying smoothly, same with sinful colors (if it dries to begin with!)
Ben:pink or pastels
Me:*Wearing pastel pink nails*
I wish you would recreate BENANA from The custom nail polish video you did with Sofia on holotoco
I was hoping to get some Intel on lower quality polishes that don't last!
Same
I love that this highlight was in my recommended and prompted me to rewatch it now that Cristine's come out with creme pastels and is likely about to release holo pastels as well lmao
I really think that Holo Taco would benefit from making cremes, but I'm also not a businessman lol
I can't wait for the next collection!!! Whatever it is, I hope I get my hands on it before it sells out.
I love sparkley polish but I also really love a pretty pale pink too
At least for me I would be interested in more plain colors in holo taco mostly because of Christine's input in the quality. I mean I have a few nudes that I love but they don't wear long enough however I have nail issues and even gel doesn't stay for longer than a week. The main interest is in knowing she could make the best product because of her knowledge and experience.
