Cold Slate is one of those colors that makes my heart skip a beat all on its own, but after seeing it with each topper added I was practically drooling 😂 So gorgeous!
I'm so excited for Scorched Earth, the flakie "version" of that color is my fave so having it in a shimmer is great. I mostly wear cool-toned polishes, so the contrast with the red-orange-copper shimmer is so much fun. Wishing you well 💖
So my alarm is set for 5:30 but I rarely sleep that long. I typically wake up somewhere between 4:30 and 5:00 am 7 days a week. I have always been an early riser (but if you want me out and about after 9:30 pm you’d better keep me moving or I’ll fall asleep anywhere).
I'm so excited to eventually get all of these. I love pairing the similar (or opposite) colors with their unicorn skins. I feel like it adds a really cool, extra depth to them. I absolutely love the blue creme/scorched earth and red/freezer burn!! I'm absolutely a 6am wake up person. With cats, they force you into a routine.
Oh gosh haha yeah I remember I lived with a roommate who had a cat and he was pretty strict about waking up the whole apartment at 5am dramatically screaming for food LOL
I love that there wasn’t a box for this collection because I was really only wanting the toppers. I really hope they stick to the plan to only do boxes on limited releases. The FOMO is real! 😊
What's up next for Holo Taco is their anniversary collection next month! They typically do a limited edition, multi-finish collection for their anniversary, so I'm excited to see what they come up with😍
Nice collection! I used to work very early in the morning, like 5 am most often. I would go to bed at 7pm and get up about 3:15. I now work 7:30 - 4:30 so I go to bed about 9pm and get up at 5. Weekends I am very happy if I make it till 7am but usually it's about 6:30. I also worked overnights for awhile and I would go to bed by 8am then get up around 3pm so I could spend time with the hubby and then go back to sleep after dinner for a couple hours (about 7pm) and then get up if i remember correctly - 9pm to be at work by 10. It's been several years.
Great swatches! Love the cremes. I’m a night shifter on 3-12hr shifts a week, no specific days. I usually get to sleep around 8-9am after work and wake up between 2-4pm. If I’m not working that night, I go right back to sleeping nights and wake up usually around 8am.
I've been living in Oklahoma for 19yrs, and I still wake up and live on east coast time. I work in food service. Been busy as hell but I still make time to watch your videos! Been looking forward to this one, I'm a BIG holo taco fan! Stay awesome!
I love these especially Freezer Burn. I have a lot of problems sleeping. I usually go to bed around 11. Most of the time I wake up around 3:30 or 4:00 am. Last night I woke up at 1:24 am. I slept from 12 to 7 Saturday, It was wonderful! Hugs and Love!
I just LOVE your channel. You are so gorgeous and fun to watch! I am just getting back in to doing my own nails and growing out some gel / efile damage from a salon. I love seeing all the polishes you swatch! Great info. Thank you so much for your great reviews.
Oh Tammy thank you so much for your kind words, I'm so happy to have you here :) I'm sure your nails will be back in fighting action in no time haha. I've heard Nailtiques makes a great strengthener for healing gel damage if you're looking for one!
I loved the comparison slide. I haven't picked any from this launch. I may get 1 topper when there is more that I want. I work 7:30 -330. On WFH days I'm up at 6:50. On in office days I'm up at 6.
oh this is a pretty collection! Thank you for reviewing it. I am a nurse and I work night shift. I work from 2130(9:30pm) to 0930(9:30am) on Monday, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I usually go to sleep around 11am. And I will usually wake up around 3-4pm. I do not sleep well on work days, because of anxiety. I keep mostly to a nocturnal schedule when I am off work. I usually sleep around 4am and wake up around 10-11am. But I also take like a 3-4 hour nap sometimes too. I like to be up early on the weekends because all of my friends work during the days. This way, I can still hang out and do things with them on the weekends. I honestly love working at night. Plus, there is usually no traffic!
To answer your question about waking up, before I started the workforce, I was waking up between 4-5AM ECT and that was from elementary school through high school. After i graduated, I got a job working retail on overnights. My job starts at 22:00(10PM)-07:00(7AM) I've been doing that for almost 9 years now. I'm definitely an early riser on my days off, which is the weekend (Friday and Saturday, so waking up Saturday and Sunday mornings at 05:30 thanks to doing that for 10+ years of my life) but during the week I wind up being a late riser. I first started going to bed at 10:00AM and sleeping until 6:00PM, but after I got married and moved out of my parents' house and no longer waking up to a premade meal, I started going to bed between 11AM and 12PM and sleeping until 7PM or 8PM. I only live about a mile from my job, but have to constantly pick up my sister before I go in (she and I work together on the same shift, but different positions) and prepare for whatever I'm walking into for the night, be it 1-2 trucks or a laundry list of resets to set up for new product. My sister still goes to bed between 10AM and 11AM and wakes up between 4PM and 6PM. Idk if her sleep schedule will change once she moves out and gets married. I believe everyone's sleep times for overnights are different because different places will have different hours for overnight shifts.
@KelliMarissa not as much as it used to. I try to stay up a little later on Saturdays and then go to bed between 12PM and 1:30PM. It does mess with me a lot when I take a vacation/stay-cation, lol. Usually, during that time off, I feel like I need to sleep at about 3PM.
I love mixing opposing shimmer and colours so this idea looks great. As for sleep, workdays (8;30 start) I get up at 7:30 but hate mornings I feel like death warmed up. Off work days if left to my own devices I go to bed late and sleep in late till about 11am. For context though I am on my own with no dependants. Doing this I actually feel alive.
I work in a school and have 2 kids when I go to the gym, I get up at 5:15 (I stopped bc of hip pain > tendinitis but went back today! ) for work and kids, I am up around 7, and on the weekends, I'm up around 8. Thanks for sharing and asking us to share with you in return!
These look amazing and I love that you test them over black and with each other too. I do love a good topper! To answer your fun fact question, I work a traditional office job, 9am-5pm. I wake up at 6 / 6.30am to have some time myself, dog walk, get my daughter up ready to go to school and prepare for the day. I go to bed around 10.30pm. To ensure i wind down, i make sure everything is done by 8pm then I sit and read, or play games, or watch TV. Being a mother to a child and a dog, plus working full time, plus running a separate business, keeps me pretty busy and i have learnt that i need to make time for myself. On weekends, I am generally up around 7 / 7.30am but same bed time
I love the toppers. This is where Halo Taco shines. I will have to convince myself to get scorched earth. Night person here, so I go to sleep between 3-4 a.m and wake up around 11:30.
To your sleep/wake-up question, I'm a night shift worker. 10pm to 630am shift. My sleep schedule varies on if I have appointments, errands, etc... I try to get 8 hours, sometimes 9am-5pm, sometimes noon to 8pm. Pretty hum-drum really. As for Holo Taco, I love it! I have the fire and ice shimmers/cremes and I am excited for the anniversary collection in July. Hot Take with Scorched Earth is my fave new combo.
I really want the shimmer and that orange red creme ❤️❤️🧡🧡 When I used to work o would wake up at 6 am bc I had to be at work at 7:30 😅 Now I wake up at 8am or 12 in the afternoon or sometimes at 1pm. Love the purple look and manicure 💜💜💜💜
I like the gray but I have Crater from your Starrily Collab which I love and is close enough imo. I’m an office worker and definitely a late riser. Since I work from home I just kind of roll out of bed at 7:55. Weekends I sleep in til at least 10 but ideally noon. Insomnia at night makes me want to sleep in all the time!
I am a Histotechnologist and my current shift is 0400-1230. During the week I’m up at 0330 but on weekends it’s more like 6:00-7:00 at the absolute latest. I try to go to sleep as close to 8:30-9 as possible, regardless of if it’s a weekend or not 😊
Oh yeah it's such a fun way to switch up the polishes you already own! It's also fun to layer different types of toppers (for example one iridescent, and one holo!)
Can't wait for tax time. I'm definitely treating myself to some Holo Taco (being in Australia it's a bit more expensive). To answer your question, I tend to wake up around 7am lately. My sleep schedule depends on my work ... I work in childcare and my hours change every few weeks.
I'm in Iowa and I work a typical 1st shift job but we have some flexibility. In the summer I get up at 5:30 so I can be at work around 6:30 and get off around 3:00 so I can get home and enjoy the beautiful summer weather. My biggest challenge is getting to bed at a decent hour because I am a night owl. In the winter I care a lot less and usually get in around 7:45 and don't really care as much when I get off because I am going to be inside anyway.
This video inspired me to pull out the iridescent shimmer in my collection! Unfortunately, getting a hold of Holo Taco is pretty difficult in Europe. As for sleep schedules, I've always been a night owl, so I never go to bed before midnight. I'm currently working on a PhD, so my schedule is largely self-determined, so I usually wake up around 8:30-9:00 and have a slow morning.
The toppers altogether was divine 😍😍 love that. And yeah I'm an office worker but I currently work remote. I'm up at 5 am weekdays bc I like to get my workout done in the morning so I'm up, spend about 45m-1hr doing my morning stuff, then the gym, then home around 8:30 and start my day! Lol I do tend to go to sleep around 10pm but I would like earlier. On the weekends, sadly my body is becoming acclimated to the early weekday times, so I'm usually up around 6 am 😫😫 but I'm hoping to eventually quit this job and make a whole new routine! I will say, I prefer a gym early in the morning - less people, less stress, less talking. 😅
Thanks for the review Kelli! I just got my collection in the mail today so I'm even more inspired to go play with them now! I used to be *SO* good about waking up in the before times, like at 6am, but I had to take a hour train and a half hour cycle to work. Now I work from home so if I roll out of bed with enough time to brush my teeth or put real clothes on before 9am its a good day. I can make myself get up early if I need to, but my partner and I joke that on work days someone turns up the gravity on the bed so its harder to get out! On the weekends I wake up at 8 no probs, lol! 😂😂
I wake up a 7am Pacific (my time zone) because I work 8-5. I work from home for a government job so I guess it's a typical office job, but I do occasionally go into the office when we have public meetings. Unrelated to the question, but I'd love to see you do some reviews of the Polish Pickup and/or Hella Handmade Creations polishes that come out every month! I grabbed Rogue's "Naked or Not" from June's Polish Pickup and I'm obsessed!
So excited to play with these toppers!! I’m a hospital pharmacist and work 7 days on and then have 7 days off. My shift is noon-midnight so I usually sleep about 2 am-9 am
Love your videos! ❤ as for sleep when I have to work I try to try to be in bed around 9 - 9:30pm to be up at 6:42am (I have to be at work by 8:00am). On the weekend I over sleep, sometimes I go to bed at 10:00pm or 11:00pm then sleep to almost 11:00am the next day. I love sleeping. 🥰
Very interesting colors here, I’ve actually been wearing a slate blue (eco glaze misty wisteria), really nice to see one come out! I just got home from work, early, at 2am!I play piano and comedy in a comedy club (I’m one of the house pianist/keyboardist.) I also work the booth there sometimes. I generally go to work around 6-7:30pm and get off around 2am. Not the normal job schedule, but I love my job. I wake up between 10am-12:30pm, depending on what I have to do that day before work. Early appointments are the worst lol I’m naturally a night person, so it works.
I wake up at 6am on days I work and usually around 9am when I'm off. Really I should be getting up earlier when I work but it's a struggle! I was surprised that I loved all of these shimmers! I was expecting Freezer Burn to be my favorite but it's hard to pick now that I've worn them
My shift is 10:30am to 7pm, desk job from home on most days. I wake up around 8:15am without an alarm clock (huge improvement on my daily energy!) and go to sleep around 11pm (I never fall asleep right away, reading or word search time!)
Hey Kelli! These are all gorgeous. I love the red shade & Freezer Burn. I just can’t buy right now. I put in four, maybe five orders on Maniology this month. You see where I’m going with this. Plus, I know when the Fall & Winter shades start coming I’m going to be in trouble!😂 I’m a late sleeper most days. I generally get up around nine. I get up early for church on Sunday or an occasional early Dr. appt. I worked second shift for so many years I’m still a night owl. When I worked (now on disability) it was pretty much this same schedule. Thanks for such great in-depth descriptions especially of the toppers. Have a great week!
Love your videos ❤ I work graveyard shift as a maintenance technician. I have to be in at 11pm, so I generally sleep from 2pm to 8pm. I've been working that shift for more than 5 years and I'm so tired all of the time lol
That freezer burn topper over black made me swoon a little! I have never used a topper of any kind but I’m super intrigued. I ordered some shimmery OPI polishes based on your reviews and am excited to try them. ❤
Ohhh you are gonna fall in love with toppers! If you have a lot of full coverage polishes, adding one topper essentially feels like doubling your collection since you can apply it over anything, and there are so many creative combos to try 😄❤️
On work days I’m up at 6:15, on my days off I try to sleep until 8. I used to work midnights and I’d go to bed at 7:30 and be up by 10, definitely do not advise that lol
I'm naturally nocturnal but have to keep a diurnal schedule due to my job. I live east coast but have to be available later in the day for west coast folks, so I usually get up around 930am on weekdays. I may sleep past noon on weekends though. Of course I also stay up until 2-4am so it's not like I get extra sleep or anything.
I'll probably buy 80% of this set (skipping that orangey-red creme) next time I order. Gotta complete my shimmer rainbow and the other creme is an interesting color that could be useful for nail art. My sleep schedule is... uh, weird. My husband and I are both very much night owls but his alarm goes off at 7 AM on weekdays for work. He takes a long time to actually get out of the bed and get ready so by the time he leaves the room, it's about 8 AM and at that point, I try to get a bit more sleep. (I don't have a traditional job so my schedule is flexible!) He can fall asleep instantly and stay asleep through literal earthquakes (California problems lol) while I take a long time to fall asleep and wake up super easily. We usually go to bed around midnight or 1 AM on weeknights. If it's a day off, though? Oh boy. Sometimes we don't go to bed until 4 AM and sleep in until 1 PM. It's glorious.
As a reformed overnight shift worker (8:30p-5:00a) I would try to be in bed and asleep by 7:00a and wake up around 3:00p. To keep my body happy I would keep my sleep schedule the same on weekends. Needless to say there was little social life happening because I was awake when everyone else was asleep and asleep when everyone was awake.
Ooh that's so intriguing, I feel like I would struggle with convincing my body to sleep when it's light out haha! I'm sure blackout curtains help though!
These are pretty, but i definitely liked the more indie leaning vibe of the last release better (especially for the price point, there's so many nice indie cremes at half that price!)
That freezer burn topper is my fave, it looks gorgeous! Night shift worker here🙋🏻♀️ I get home from work around 7 am and sleep between 8am-3pm give or take
I currently have little kids, so I only work every other weekend, but I work 2nd shift (3-11pm), and I just moved a half hour via highway driving from my job. I just came off my work weekend, and it was rough, but that’s partly due to having just moved and shuffling things to and fro. Basically, I would normally get to sleep around 2-3am on nights I work, and then get up between 6-8am, depending on kids. Other days when I don’t work, we typically get up around 7-8am, but sometimes earlier, and definitely a bit earlier during the school year. Kiddos go to bed around 8-9pm, and we usually prefer to chill in bed then and watch phones or watch a movie together, so sleep somewhere between 11-1am. It varies. I will admit that, more often than not, when the littlest one naps, I do too. I used to work full time inpatient in a hospital, both second and third shifts. Night shift sucks, I assure you. I did it for five years and I never felt good, even on days off.
I love this bundle! I get up at 3am for work and around 5:30am on my days off. I work in the back office at a Home Depot and start at 5am to get the store ready to open at 6am.
Nice swatches! The one with all the toppers together actually looks pretty darn interesting. 😊 My sleep schedule is so messed up tbh (a combination of work-related reasons and moving back to the west coast). There was about 6 months where I would go sleep around 9:30am and then wake up at 5:30pm so I could have dinner with my partner... otherwise I wouldn't see him during the week. More recently I was going to sleep at around 10:00pm and waking up at 5-6:00am, which was good for about 2 weeks, but then I had to pull an all-nighter and now my schedule is all messed up again.
I’m a sucker for red crèmes. Toppers, especially shimmers and flakies are my new obsessions. Thanks a lot for showing the toppers over different colors. Your comparisons at the end are always helpful and greatly appreciated too Kelli. I get up at 5:20, I have tiny furry overlords aka (fur babies😻)I must feed first breakfast to😂
Ooh that's such a cool job! Do you also have to take time to workout outside of work too? I always wonder about that or if you can get your workouts in while you're working LOL
@KelliMarissa Yes, I do take time to do my own workouts, but I'm careful not to overtrain. I limit my heavy weights and spinning workouts to two or three times a week. Usually, my personal workouts are walking, gentle aerobics/resistance training, and yoga. Most of my personal training clients are older adults, so we work on balance and flexibility. As an introvert, I enjoy that personal training allows me to control my social energy output. It's made a huge difference in my mental state!
Fun fact answer: I work an evening shift job (3pm to 11:30pm CST) and I often have trouble going to bed before 1am. Right before my current job, my evening shift hours were 5:30pm to 1:30 am CST and I wouldn't get home until after 2am most nights. I've only been at my new position since late February and I have my old job from last May until Feb so I'm still getting switched to the better time lol. As for when I get up, I kinda get up around 5:30am to 6:30am (depends on my hubs work schrdule) to take my husband to work and then I go back to sleep once I get back home and snooze the day away until it's time to pick him up
I'd love to put those toppers over deeper colours not just black it would be interesting to see which colour is more prominent over different colours and I usually wake up on weekdays at 6am and on weekends at around 11am I've never had a job so it's mainly waking up like breakfast and stuff
I am 3rd shift. Ideally, I'd like to sleep 9am to 5pm. The thing is, u can not have a personal life and sleep too when u are a 3rd shifter. It double sucks if u have to work weekends sometimes. No one wants to have a bar b q on a Tues at 3 o'clock in the morning. I have kids also so sleep can be tricky. When they were toddlers sometimes I would go 3 or so days with a total of 3-4 hrs of sleep. I'm older now and so are my kids, so it's better. I can't skip like I used to. All this said, I am my best me at night, I'm happier, more energetic and just a life long night owl. I picked the late night shift cuz it just works for our family my husband's always been 1st and I've always been 3rd. Thanks for being so thorough on the swatches. I was tickled u did them over black
That’s so funny to me that you stayed on east coast time, but I think it’s brilliant!! I’m sure it makes it easier to plan calls with friends and family, if nothing else haha. I have a work from home job, but it has a strict schedule, and I tend to get up about 15 minutes before I login 😅 makes for a frantic morning haha. I’m a chronic night owl so I tend to want to sleep in as much as possible to make up for later nights lol
probably not buying any of these, but the collection with the toppers is inspiring me to play around with some of the iridescent toppers i do have. i wake up typically around 5-5:30am. because that is when my 3yo wakes up. i teach college, and used to avoid 9am classes because i’d barely be awake by that time normally. now i’m like, why not? i’ve been up for 4 hours already.
I woke up at 6 am as well, and at seven on the weekends. I have most energy in the morning so I get stuff done early, I go to sleep at 8 o nine as well because if I go to late I feel completely miserable the next day haha
i LOVE scorched earth over cold slate!! as for my sleeping.. I'm a late sleeper and a late riser, I cannot rise in the morning without 12 alarms + someone waking me up lol so I always thought I would do better with a night job. Then I started working at an arcade as a bartender & some nights i'd get out at 2AM other nights would be like 4:30AM and I'd sleep until like.. 1 or 2PM. Honestly.... I hated it solely because the world is not set up well for nightshift people!! my day was just starting but i felt like i had to rush to get any errands done due to some store hours. no one's schedule lined up with mine so rarely saw friends or family. doctors and dentist appointments? forget it unless i wanna be on no sleep LOL. i also somehow felt more drained than ever and idk why. now I work a normal 8-5 office job and as much as i despise waking so early, i'm so happy I at least have a regular schedule. sorry for the longer comment but whew night shift took my SOUL hahaha
M-F up at 4:30am. Saturday no alarm but I'm typically up around 4:30-5. Sunday up at 5. I have to be to work by 6am and I live in Phoenix and traffic can be pretty bad. Sundays I go to the laundry mat as soon as possible because Phoenix and it's 🥵 😂😂
I've been waiting for the other iridescents because I use those others she has often. I didn't buy this one immediately, because I'm meh on the cremes and I know the Safiya Collab is coming. Also, Cristine spoiled that another red creme it's coming - I hope it's a deeper, cooler red. Shipping to my remote house is an issue, and my guess is that I'll just be making an order in September. Thanks for the review. Your swatches are my favorite. 😁
P.s. I wake at 0530 daily, seven days a week because it stabilizes my sleep. After years of out of control insomnia, this is one of the most important things for me to try to get the sleep I need. I'm a nurse with a day job now, but I worked nights for years, 1900 to 0730. It was not good for my health, my relationships or anything. It's fun when all your friends work nights, but eventually, it didn't work for my life anymore. It is hard to manage your life by not flipping your schedule and you never sleep well when flipping days to nights sleep schedule
I used to work second shift which was 3:30pm-12:30am. I would go to sleep around 2am and wake up at 11am. I did do third shift a few times, which was 9:30pm-6:30am. I would usually just stay up and do what I needed to do and then go to sleep at 11ish. A few times I went to bed at 7-8am and would wake up 4-5pm but I always felt like the work day was longer when I did that. In retrospect I have no idea why they called it second and third shift because I also worked the first shift of the day from 5:30am-2:30pm and lots of shifts started after 5:30am and before 3:30pm, that is, the start time for second shift.
The second I saw Scorched Earth over ONC in the Holo Taco video, I knew I had to have it. Cold Slate is the grey I've been wanting. I already have a grey with a beige sort of undertone and one that leans purple but nothing that leans blue. And the combination of Freezer Burn over Cold Slate with matte Taco looks so nice. My wishlist grows but my wallet says no.
I work from home but it’s an office-type job. I’m an insomniac so it’s hard but I have a very understanding boss who lets me set my own hours which helps when I’m not sleeping. 💕🐾💕😴
Love the red shimmer topper, but I just bought 'Scarlet' by ILNP and they look very similar. Glad to see that more companies are creating red iridescent toppers, since I love polishes with a red shimmer.
To your question, I work nights. It's an office job, and if we telework we have to go into the office one day a week. I go to sleep from 4 to 6 am, and wake up around noon to 1 pm. My job is called nights but some might call it evenings because we can't work past 1:30 am.
I like this collection a lot. I recently wore scorched earth and freezer burn over 2 different cremes and a friend thought it was 4 different polishes. I have most everything HT has ever put out and I’m glad she sometimes skips a box bc I’m running out of space. The only collection she has done I wasn’t happy with was the magnetic collection. I’m not new to magnetic polish and still have 2 bottles of drug store brand that is like 15 years old that magnetizes better than HT does. That one was a disappointment.
I have to say, I liked the winter shimmers a lot better, especially the creams. Maybe I will get only the toppers. When I was working (I`m on early maternity leave) I started at 3am and had almost an hour to commute, so I got up at 1.20 - 1.30am. Went to bed between 8 and 10pm. I couldnt fall asleep earlier, but my body made me nap an hour or two after work sometimes. now I get up between 9 and 10am, because I cant fall asleep at night due to the pregnancy... little one`s very active at night xD I`m curious how it will be going after the little one`s born
I’m glad that HT is releasing more toppers. I mean the brand was founded on the idea of having “Holo topcoats” (taco = topcoat) Unfortunately, I just struggle to see the difference between most of the iridescent shimmers. Most of them just look yellow/pinky to me so I’m passing on these for now. Also glad there’s no box
I was just dinkin around on fb and saw that cirque du Soleil is in Vegas soon at the Bellagio.. that would be cool to see. I live in Michigan so I'll have to skip it this time. Lol (I hate airplanes if u go down u r probably done for)
Hi Kelli, does the orly bonder base coat prevent stains, or is there something else you do in between swatchs to remove stains that may occur, like from a blue polish. Lol 😆
Cold Slate is one of those colors that makes my heart skip a beat all on its own, but after seeing it with each topper added I was practically drooling 😂 So gorgeous!
It really does shine doesn't it?!
I'm so excited for Scorched Earth, the flakie "version" of that color is my fave so having it in a shimmer is great. I mostly wear cool-toned polishes, so the contrast with the red-orange-copper shimmer is so much fun.
Wishing you well 💖
Yeah I definitely lean towards the warmer iridescent toppers in general, it does make such a fun contrast!! 😄💜
Kelli, your reviews are so informative! You provide so much perspective, especially when showing all of the different combinations of the toppers.
Oh thank you so much, I'm really glad you find them helpful 😋❤️
So my alarm is set for 5:30 but I rarely sleep that long. I typically wake up somewhere between 4:30 and 5:00 am 7 days a week. I have always been an early riser (but if you want me out and about after 9:30 pm you’d better keep me moving or I’ll fall asleep anywhere).
I know! Her videos always convince me to buy the polishes!
I'm so excited to eventually get all of these. I love pairing the similar (or opposite) colors with their unicorn skins. I feel like it adds a really cool, extra depth to them. I absolutely love the blue creme/scorched earth and red/freezer burn!!
I'm absolutely a 6am wake up person. With cats, they force you into a routine.
Oh gosh haha yeah I remember I lived with a roommate who had a cat and he was pretty strict about waking up the whole apartment at 5am dramatically screaming for food LOL
Ermigerd, yes, the cats. One of mine is a talker. Mommy! It's 0512! It's almost time for breakfast! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!
I love your comparison with the columns. So helpful! 😊
I'm so glad I could help!!
Agreed
I love that there wasn’t a box for this collection because I was really only wanting the toppers. I really hope they stick to the plan to only do boxes on limited releases. The FOMO is real! 😊
I totally feel that haha!
lol that isn't "the plan" they just don't want an ever increasing number of boxes. There is one less box this year than last. that was the only "plan"
Same. I have zero box collections. There's always one or two polishes I won't use so I just get singles.
Yeah I don’t think the plan is to only have boxes for LE, just less boxes in general
What's up next for Holo Taco is their anniversary collection next month! They typically do a limited edition, multi-finish collection for their anniversary, so I'm excited to see what they come up with😍
I loved the gala collection ❤❤
I wasn't really exited for this collection but I must say this "One coat orange" is impressive, I wish we could have that coverage in every color 🤩
It really is impressive!
Nice collection! I used to work very early in the morning, like 5 am most often. I would go to bed at 7pm and get up about 3:15. I now work 7:30 - 4:30 so I go to bed about 9pm and get up at 5. Weekends I am very happy if I make it till 7am but usually it's about 6:30. I also worked overnights for awhile and I would go to bed by 8am then get up around 3pm so I could spend time with the hubby and then go back to sleep after dinner for a couple hours (about 7pm) and then get up if i remember correctly - 9pm to be at work by 10. It's been several years.
Great swatches! Love the cremes. I’m a night shifter on 3-12hr shifts a week, no specific days. I usually get to sleep around 8-9am after work and wake up between 2-4pm. If I’m not working that night, I go right back to sleeping nights and wake up usually around 8am.
I've been living in Oklahoma for 19yrs, and I still wake up and live on east coast time. I work in food service. Been busy as hell but I still make time to watch your videos! Been looking forward to this one, I'm a BIG holo taco fan! Stay awesome!
I love these especially Freezer Burn. I have a lot of problems sleeping. I usually go to bed around 11. Most of the time I wake up around 3:30 or 4:00 am. Last night I woke up at 1:24 am. I slept from 12 to 7 Saturday, It was wonderful! Hugs and Love!
I wish it wasn't so hard (expensive) to get these shipped to Australia, this range and the vacation one are top of my wish list right now!
Fellow Aussie here: I save up money and desired shades until it get to $100US, which gets us free international shipping.
Also have a look for buying groups in your area that’s how I manage it
I just LOVE your channel. You are so gorgeous and fun to watch! I am just getting back in to doing my own nails and growing out some gel / efile damage from a salon. I love seeing all the polishes you swatch! Great info. Thank you so much for your great reviews.
Oh Tammy thank you so much for your kind words, I'm so happy to have you here :) I'm sure your nails will be back in fighting action in no time haha. I've heard Nailtiques makes a great strengthener for healing gel damage if you're looking for one!
Omg freezer burn over red!! ❤❤❤
Right? So interesting!!
I loved the comparison slide. I haven't picked any from this launch. I may get 1 topper when there is more that I want. I work 7:30 -330. On WFH days I'm up at 6:50. On in office days I'm up at 6.
I'm looking forward to getting mine. I loved the previous shimmers so these will be a nice addition to the ones I already have. So pretty.
It's nice to have the full set to choose from haha!
oh this is a pretty collection! Thank you for reviewing it. I am a nurse and I work night shift. I work from 2130(9:30pm) to 0930(9:30am) on Monday, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I usually go to sleep around 11am. And I will usually wake up around 3-4pm. I do not sleep well on work days, because of anxiety. I keep mostly to a nocturnal schedule when I am off work. I usually sleep around 4am and wake up around 10-11am. But I also take like a 3-4 hour nap sometimes too. I like to be up early on the weekends because all of my friends work during the days. This way, I can still hang out and do things with them on the weekends. I honestly love working at night. Plus, there is usually no traffic!
Like the collection and loved the 3rd shimmer and love the cold slate beautiful.
To answer your question about waking up, before I started the workforce, I was waking up between 4-5AM ECT and that was from elementary school through high school. After i graduated, I got a job working retail on overnights. My job starts at 22:00(10PM)-07:00(7AM) I've been doing that for almost 9 years now. I'm definitely an early riser on my days off, which is the weekend (Friday and Saturday, so waking up Saturday and Sunday mornings at 05:30 thanks to doing that for 10+ years of my life) but during the week I wind up being a late riser. I first started going to bed at 10:00AM and sleeping until 6:00PM, but after I got married and moved out of my parents' house and no longer waking up to a premade meal, I started going to bed between 11AM and 12PM and sleeping until 7PM or 8PM. I only live about a mile from my job, but have to constantly pick up my sister before I go in (she and I work together on the same shift, but different positions) and prepare for whatever I'm walking into for the night, be it 1-2 trucks or a laundry list of resets to set up for new product. My sister still goes to bed between 10AM and 11AM and wakes up between 4PM and 6PM. Idk if her sleep schedule will change once she moves out and gets married. I believe everyone's sleep times for overnights are different because different places will have different hours for overnight shifts.
Oh wow, it's interesting you don't keep the overnight schedule on weekends haha! Does that mess up your sleep cycle?
@KelliMarissa not as much as it used to. I try to stay up a little later on Saturdays and then go to bed between 12PM and 1:30PM. It does mess with me a lot when I take a vacation/stay-cation, lol. Usually, during that time off, I feel like I need to sleep at about 3PM.
I love mixing opposing shimmer and colours so this idea looks great. As for sleep, workdays (8;30 start) I get up at 7:30 but hate mornings I feel like death warmed up. Off work days if left to my own devices I go to bed late and sleep in late till about 11am. For context though I am on my own with no dependants. Doing this I actually feel alive.
I work in a school and have 2 kids when I go to the gym, I get up at 5:15 (I stopped bc of hip pain > tendinitis but went back today! ) for work and kids, I am up around 7, and on the weekends, I'm up around 8. Thanks for sharing and asking us to share with you in return!
I'm liking the idea of asking fun fact questions to the community instead of just being about me haha! It's fun getting to know everyone better 😅
These look amazing and I love that you test them over black and with each other too. I do love a good topper!
To answer your fun fact question, I work a traditional office job, 9am-5pm. I wake up at 6 / 6.30am to have some time myself, dog walk, get my daughter up ready to go to school and prepare for the day. I go to bed around 10.30pm. To ensure i wind down, i make sure everything is done by 8pm then I sit and read, or play games, or watch TV. Being a mother to a child and a dog, plus working full time, plus running a separate business, keeps me pretty busy and i have learnt that i need to make time for myself. On weekends, I am generally up around 7 / 7.30am but same bed time
I love the toppers. This is where Halo Taco shines. I will have to convince myself to get scorched earth. Night person here, so I go to sleep between 3-4 a.m and wake up around 11:30.
Looks so interesting the three toppers together
Something about the combo reminds me of the way older tvs used to look when you got up really close to them haha!
@@KelliMarissa static!
Love Freezer burn over the red. Nice toppers.
Agreed!!
To your sleep/wake-up question, I'm a night shift worker. 10pm to 630am shift. My sleep schedule varies on if I have appointments, errands, etc... I try to get 8 hours, sometimes 9am-5pm, sometimes noon to 8pm. Pretty hum-drum really. As for Holo Taco, I love it! I have the fire and ice shimmers/cremes and I am excited for the anniversary collection in July. Hot Take with Scorched Earth is my fave new combo.
Didn't buy this one but may go back and get the toppers. They look so pretty here! Thank you, as always!
These have great potential for July 4th. Like the blue with the second topper.
Freezer burn with the black underneath gives me galaxy vibes 🤩🤩🤩
I really want the shimmer and that orange red creme ❤️❤️🧡🧡 When I used to work o would wake up at 6 am bc I had to be at work at 7:30 😅 Now I wake up at 8am or 12 in the afternoon or sometimes at 1pm. Love the purple look and manicure 💜💜💜💜
Love the last one over the black!
It's so gorgeous with that blue!!
I'm a prof nail tech. I wish these companies would start doing gels. The colors are so awesome. And I love your reviews!
I like the gray but I have Crater from your Starrily Collab which I love and is close enough imo. I’m an office worker and definitely a late riser. Since I work from home I just kind of roll out of bed at 7:55. Weekends I sleep in til at least 10 but ideally noon. Insomnia at night makes me want to sleep in all the time!
I am a Histotechnologist and my current shift is 0400-1230. During the week I’m up at 0330 but on weekends it’s more like 6:00-7:00 at the absolute latest. I try to go to sleep as close to 8:30-9 as possible, regardless of if it’s a weekend or not 😊
Love holo taco! Love your videos ❤ love nail art! Never have wore nail polish a day in my life 😅
Love them over black! So cool!
Agreed!
That grey is gorgeous! MATTE!
Ooh yeah!
I already have cremes similar to the ones in this collection but I am SO EXCITED for the toppers!
I will never say no to a topper haha! 😸
Freezer Burn!!!❤️❤️❤️
Could never predict what Holo Taco will do next, but sure I will love.
Can't wait to find out haha!
Oooh I never thought to combine toppers! Definitely going to try that out! I'm new to painting my nails.
Oh yeah it's such a fun way to switch up the polishes you already own! It's also fun to layer different types of toppers (for example one iridescent, and one holo!)
Can't wait for tax time. I'm definitely treating myself to some Holo Taco (being in Australia it's a bit more expensive). To answer your question, I tend to wake up around 7am lately. My sleep schedule depends on my work ... I work in childcare and my hours change every few weeks.
I'm in Iowa and I work a typical 1st shift job but we have some flexibility. In the summer I get up at 5:30 so I can be at work around 6:30 and get off around 3:00 so I can get home and enjoy the beautiful summer weather. My biggest challenge is getting to bed at a decent hour because I am a night owl. In the winter I care a lot less and usually get in around 7:45 and don't really care as much when I get off because I am going to be inside anyway.
I like the red nail polish
This video inspired me to pull out the iridescent shimmer in my collection! Unfortunately, getting a hold of Holo Taco is pretty difficult in Europe.
As for sleep schedules, I've always been a night owl, so I never go to bed before midnight. I'm currently working on a PhD, so my schedule is largely self-determined, so I usually wake up around 8:30-9:00 and have a slow morning.
The toppers altogether was divine 😍😍 love that.
And yeah I'm an office worker but I currently work remote. I'm up at 5 am weekdays bc I like to get my workout done in the morning so I'm up, spend about 45m-1hr doing my morning stuff, then the gym, then home around 8:30 and start my day! Lol I do tend to go to sleep around 10pm but I would like earlier. On the weekends, sadly my body is becoming acclimated to the early weekday times, so I'm usually up around 6 am 😫😫 but I'm hoping to eventually quit this job and make a whole new routine! I will say, I prefer a gym early in the morning - less people, less stress, less talking. 😅
Thanks for the review Kelli! I just got my collection in the mail today so I'm even more inspired to go play with them now! I used to be *SO* good about waking up in the before times, like at 6am, but I had to take a hour train and a half hour cycle to work. Now I work from home so if I roll out of bed with enough time to brush my teeth or put real clothes on before 9am its a good day. I can make myself get up early if I need to, but my partner and I joke that on work days someone turns up the gravity on the bed so its harder to get out! On the weekends I wake up at 8 no probs, lol! 😂😂
Haha I know that feeling, the gravity must have been up extra today 🤣 it really is harder to get up in a timely manner when you're working from home!!
I wake up a 7am Pacific (my time zone) because I work 8-5. I work from home for a government job so I guess it's a typical office job, but I do occasionally go into the office when we have public meetings.
Unrelated to the question, but I'd love to see you do some reviews of the Polish Pickup and/or Hella Handmade Creations polishes that come out every month! I grabbed Rogue's "Naked or Not" from June's Polish Pickup and I'm obsessed!
So excited to play with these toppers!!
I’m a hospital pharmacist and work 7 days on and then have 7 days off. My shift is noon-midnight so I usually sleep about 2 am-9 am
Oh wow I've never heard of a schedule like that!
Freezer burn and the slate gray. Gorg.....❤🎉
Beautiful polishes. ❤
Agreed!!
The freezer burn over black would make a great galaxy background with a few additions
Ooh yeah definitely!
Love your videos! ❤ as for sleep when I have to work I try to try to be in bed around 9 - 9:30pm to be up at 6:42am (I have to be at work by 8:00am). On the weekend I over sleep, sometimes I go to bed at 10:00pm or 11:00pm then sleep to almost 11:00am the next day. I love sleeping. 🥰
I like Scorched Earth over the Slate color, and Freezer Burn over black.
Very interesting colors here, I’ve actually been wearing a slate blue (eco glaze misty wisteria), really nice to see one come out!
I just got home from work, early, at 2am!I play piano and comedy in a comedy club (I’m one of the house pianist/keyboardist.) I also work the booth there sometimes. I generally go to work around 6-7:30pm and get off around 2am. Not the normal job schedule, but I love my job. I wake up between 10am-12:30pm, depending on what I have to do that day before work. Early appointments are the worst lol
I’m naturally a night person, so it works.
I wake up at 6am on days I work and usually around 9am when I'm off. Really I should be getting up earlier when I work but it's a struggle!
I was surprised that I loved all of these shimmers! I was expecting Freezer Burn to be my favorite but it's hard to pick now that I've worn them
My shift is 10:30am to 7pm, desk job from home on most days. I wake up around 8:15am without an alarm clock (huge improvement on my daily energy!) and go to sleep around 11pm (I never fall asleep right away, reading or word search time!)
Hey Kelli! These are all gorgeous. I love the red shade & Freezer Burn. I just can’t buy right now. I put in four, maybe five orders on Maniology this month. You see where I’m going with this. Plus, I know when the Fall & Winter shades start coming I’m going to be in trouble!😂
I’m a late sleeper most days. I generally get up around nine. I get up early for church on Sunday or an occasional early Dr. appt. I worked second shift for so many years I’m still a night owl. When I worked (now on disability) it was pretty much this same schedule.
Thanks for such great in-depth descriptions especially of the toppers. Have a great week!
Love your videos ❤ I work graveyard shift as a maintenance technician. I have to be in at 11pm, so I generally sleep from 2pm to 8pm. I've been working that shift for more than 5 years and I'm so tired all of the time lol
I'm most excited for that red
It's so pretty!!
These would look good with other toppers too
Scorched Earth over Cool Slate is my fave combo. But Freezer Burn over the Orangie red creme is a close second!
It really is an intriguing combo isn't it??
That freezer burn topper over black made me swoon a little! I have never used a topper of any kind but I’m super intrigued. I ordered some shimmery OPI polishes based on your reviews and am excited to try them. ❤
Ohhh you are gonna fall in love with toppers! If you have a lot of full coverage polishes, adding one topper essentially feels like doubling your collection since you can apply it over anything, and there are so many creative combos to try 😄❤️
@@KelliMarissa I was just thinking the same thing! 🩷🩷🩷
Lately I’ve been loving grey nail polish
Ooh yeah I went through a gray polish phase for so long, it really feels like the perfect neutral color to me!!
On work days I’m up at 6:15, on my days off I try to sleep until 8. I used to work midnights and I’d go to bed at 7:30 and be up by 10, definitely do not advise that lol
I'm naturally nocturnal but have to keep a diurnal schedule due to my job. I live east coast but have to be available later in the day for west coast folks, so I usually get up around 930am on weekdays. I may sleep past noon on weekends though. Of course I also stay up until 2-4am so it's not like I get extra sleep or anything.
I'll probably buy 80% of this set (skipping that orangey-red creme) next time I order. Gotta complete my shimmer rainbow and the other creme is an interesting color that could be useful for nail art.
My sleep schedule is... uh, weird. My husband and I are both very much night owls but his alarm goes off at 7 AM on weekdays for work. He takes a long time to actually get out of the bed and get ready so by the time he leaves the room, it's about 8 AM and at that point, I try to get a bit more sleep. (I don't have a traditional job so my schedule is flexible!) He can fall asleep instantly and stay asleep through literal earthquakes (California problems lol) while I take a long time to fall asleep and wake up super easily. We usually go to bed around midnight or 1 AM on weeknights. If it's a day off, though? Oh boy. Sometimes we don't go to bed until 4 AM and sleep in until 1 PM. It's glorious.
As a reformed overnight shift worker (8:30p-5:00a) I would try to be in bed and asleep by 7:00a and wake up around 3:00p. To keep my body happy I would keep my sleep schedule the same on weekends. Needless to say there was little social life happening because I was awake when everyone else was asleep and asleep when everyone was awake.
Ooh that's so intriguing, I feel like I would struggle with convincing my body to sleep when it's light out haha! I'm sure blackout curtains help though!
These are pretty, but i definitely liked the more indie leaning vibe of the last release better (especially for the price point, there's so many nice indie cremes at half that price!)
I get up at 4am 😮 to take my son's to work and then eat breakfast and head to work. I try to be in bed by 7:30pm, so I can get up and do it again 😅
That freezer burn topper is my fave, it looks gorgeous!
Night shift worker here🙋🏻♀️ I get home from work around 7 am and sleep between 8am-3pm give or take
Ooh, what time do you usually start??
@@KelliMarissa I work between 10pm-6am✌️
I currently have little kids, so I only work every other weekend, but I work 2nd shift (3-11pm), and I just moved a half hour via highway driving from my job. I just came off my work weekend, and it was rough, but that’s partly due to having just moved and shuffling things to and fro. Basically, I would normally get to sleep around 2-3am on nights I work, and then get up between 6-8am, depending on kids. Other days when I don’t work, we typically get up around 7-8am, but sometimes earlier, and definitely a bit earlier during the school year. Kiddos go to bed around 8-9pm, and we usually prefer to chill in bed then and watch phones or watch a movie together, so sleep somewhere between 11-1am. It varies. I will admit that, more often than not, when the littlest one naps, I do too. I used to work full time inpatient in a hospital, both second and third shifts. Night shift sucks, I assure you. I did it for five years and I never felt good, even on days off.
I love this bundle! I get up at 3am for work and around 5:30am on my days off. I work in the back office at a Home Depot and start at 5am to get the store ready to open at 6am.
Haha I love that I just read this on my way home from Home Depot 😂 what are the odds?! It's a great place 😸
@@KelliMarissa I love that☺️🧡
Nice swatches! The one with all the toppers together actually looks pretty darn interesting. 😊 My sleep schedule is so messed up tbh (a combination of work-related reasons and moving back to the west coast). There was about 6 months where I would go sleep around 9:30am and then wake up at 5:30pm so I could have dinner with my partner... otherwise I wouldn't see him during the week. More recently I was going to sleep at around 10:00pm and waking up at 5-6:00am, which was good for about 2 weeks, but then I had to pull an all-nighter and now my schedule is all messed up again.
I really love the toppers. I have so many similar cremes. I'll pick up those toppers, though. So far, I have all her toppers.
The toppers are the best imo!
Gorgeous colors! 😍
Glad you like them too!! 😅
I’d be curious to see halogen glow over freezer burn on the black
Ooh that'd be an interesting combo!!
I’m a sucker for red crèmes. Toppers, especially shimmers and flakies are my new obsessions. Thanks a lot for showing the toppers over different colors. Your comparisons at the end are always helpful and greatly appreciated too Kelli. I get up at 5:20, I have tiny furry overlords aka (fur babies😻)I must feed first breakfast to😂
6am every day, used to get up 4:30a to go to work, but I'm not doing that shift anymore. I'm a personal trainer now, and I also teach fitness classes.
Ooh that's such a cool job! Do you also have to take time to workout outside of work too? I always wonder about that or if you can get your workouts in while you're working LOL
@KelliMarissa Yes, I do take time to do my own workouts, but I'm careful not to overtrain. I limit my heavy weights and spinning workouts to two or three times a week. Usually, my personal workouts are walking, gentle aerobics/resistance training, and yoga. Most of my personal training clients are older adults, so we work on balance and flexibility. As an introvert, I enjoy that personal training allows me to control my social energy output. It's made a huge difference in my mental state!
I get up at 4:30 every morning because I like to run early in the morning. I get it in before I start work, around 7 😄
I need your level of dedication haha!
Fun fact answer: I work an evening shift job (3pm to 11:30pm CST) and I often have trouble going to bed before 1am. Right before my current job, my evening shift hours were 5:30pm to 1:30 am CST and I wouldn't get home until after 2am most nights. I've only been at my new position since late February and I have my old job from last May until Feb so I'm still getting switched to the better time lol. As for when I get up, I kinda get up around 5:30am to 6:30am (depends on my hubs work schrdule) to take my husband to work and then I go back to sleep once I get back home and snooze the day away until it's time to pick him up
Thank you
I'd love to put those toppers over deeper colours not just black it would be interesting to see which colour is more prominent over different colours and I usually wake up on weekdays at 6am and on weekends at around 11am I've never had a job so it's mainly waking up like breakfast and stuff
I am 3rd shift. Ideally, I'd like to sleep 9am to 5pm. The thing is, u can not have a personal life and sleep too when u are a 3rd shifter. It double sucks if u have to work weekends sometimes. No one wants to have a bar b q on a Tues at 3 o'clock in the morning. I have kids also so sleep can be tricky. When they were toddlers sometimes I would go 3 or so days with a total of 3-4 hrs of sleep. I'm older now and so are my kids, so it's better. I can't skip like I used to. All this said, I am my best me at night, I'm happier, more energetic and just a life long night owl. I picked the late night shift cuz it just works for our family my husband's always been 1st and I've always been 3rd. Thanks for being so thorough on the swatches. I was tickled u did them over black
That’s so funny to me that you stayed on east coast time, but I think it’s brilliant!! I’m sure it makes it easier to plan calls with friends and family, if nothing else haha.
I have a work from home job, but it has a strict schedule, and I tend to get up about 15 minutes before I login 😅 makes for a frantic morning haha. I’m a chronic night owl so I tend to want to sleep in as much as possible to make up for later nights lol
probably not buying any of these, but the collection with the toppers is inspiring me to play around with some of the iridescent toppers i do have.
i wake up typically around 5-5:30am. because that is when my 3yo wakes up. i teach college, and used to avoid 9am classes because i’d barely be awake by that time normally. now i’m like, why not? i’ve been up for 4 hours already.
I woke up at 6 am as well, and at seven on the weekends. I have most energy in the morning so I get stuff done early, I go to sleep at 8 o nine as well because if I go to late I feel completely miserable the next day haha
i LOVE scorched earth over cold slate!! as for my sleeping.. I'm a late sleeper and a late riser, I cannot rise in the morning without 12 alarms + someone waking me up lol so I always thought I would do better with a night job. Then I started working at an arcade as a bartender & some nights i'd get out at 2AM other nights would be like 4:30AM and I'd sleep until like.. 1 or 2PM. Honestly.... I hated it solely because the world is not set up well for nightshift people!! my day was just starting but i felt like i had to rush to get any errands done due to some store hours. no one's schedule lined up with mine so rarely saw friends or family. doctors and dentist appointments? forget it unless i wanna be on no sleep LOL. i also somehow felt more drained than ever and idk why. now I work a normal 8-5 office job and as much as i despise waking so early, i'm so happy I at least have a regular schedule. sorry for the longer comment but whew night shift took my SOUL hahaha
M-F up at 4:30am. Saturday no alarm but I'm typically up around 4:30-5. Sunday up at 5. I have to be to work by 6am and I live in Phoenix and traffic can be pretty bad. Sundays I go to the laundry mat as soon as possible because Phoenix and it's 🥵 😂😂
Hahaha I do exactly the same thing-keep an east coast schedule and wake up at 6am but live in the west 😂
I've been waiting for the other iridescents because I use those others she has often. I didn't buy this one immediately, because I'm meh on the cremes and I know the Safiya Collab is coming. Also, Cristine spoiled that another red creme it's coming - I hope it's a deeper, cooler red. Shipping to my remote house is an issue, and my guess is that I'll just be making an order in September. Thanks for the review. Your swatches are my favorite. 😁
P.s. I wake at 0530 daily, seven days a week because it stabilizes my sleep. After years of out of control insomnia, this is one of the most important things for me to try to get the sleep I need. I'm a nurse with a day job now, but I worked nights for years, 1900 to 0730. It was not good for my health, my relationships or anything. It's fun when all your friends work nights, but eventually, it didn't work for my life anymore. It is hard to manage your life by not flipping your schedule and you never sleep well when flipping days to nights sleep schedule
I used to work second shift which was 3:30pm-12:30am. I would go to sleep around 2am and wake up at 11am. I did do third shift a few times, which was 9:30pm-6:30am. I would usually just stay up and do what I needed to do and then go to sleep at 11ish. A few times I went to bed at 7-8am and would wake up 4-5pm but I always felt like the work day was longer when I did that. In retrospect I have no idea why they called it second and third shift because I also worked the first shift of the day from 5:30am-2:30pm and lots of shifts started after 5:30am and before 3:30pm, that is, the start time for second shift.
The second I saw Scorched Earth over ONC in the Holo Taco video, I knew I had to have it. Cold Slate is the grey I've been wanting. I already have a grey with a beige sort of undertone and one that leans purple but nothing that leans blue. And the combination of Freezer Burn over Cold Slate with matte Taco looks so nice.
My wishlist grows but my wallet says no.
I work from home but it’s an office-type job. I’m an insomniac so it’s hard but I have a very understanding boss who lets me set my own hours which helps when I’m not sleeping. 💕🐾💕😴
Love the red shimmer topper, but I just bought 'Scarlet' by ILNP and they look very similar. Glad to see that more companies are creating red iridescent toppers, since I love polishes with a red shimmer.
Agreed! Especially over cool toned base colors, I just love that sharp contrast!
@@KelliMarissaI’ve really started noticing and picking colors with that contrast since you pointed it out. It does make it prettier!
To your question, I work nights. It's an office job, and if we telework we have to go into the office one day a week. I go to sleep from 4 to 6 am, and wake up around noon to 1 pm. My job is called nights but some might call it evenings because we can't work past 1:30 am.
I like this collection a lot. I recently wore scorched earth and freezer burn over 2 different cremes and a friend thought it was 4 different polishes. I have most everything HT has ever put out and I’m glad she sometimes skips a box bc I’m running out of space. The only collection she has done I wasn’t happy with was the magnetic collection. I’m not new to magnetic polish and still have 2 bottles of drug store brand that is like 15 years old that magnetizes better than HT does. That one was a disappointment.
I have to say, I liked the winter shimmers a lot better, especially the creams. Maybe I will get only the toppers.
When I was working (I`m on early maternity leave) I started at 3am and had almost an hour to commute, so I got up at 1.20 - 1.30am. Went to bed between 8 and 10pm. I couldnt fall asleep earlier, but my body made me nap an hour or two after work sometimes.
now I get up between 9 and 10am, because I cant fall asleep at night due to the pregnancy... little one`s very active at night xD
I`m curious how it will be going after the little one`s born
I’m glad that HT is releasing more toppers. I mean the brand was founded on the idea of having “Holo topcoats” (taco = topcoat)
Unfortunately, I just struggle to see the difference between most of the iridescent shimmers. Most of them just look yellow/pinky to me so I’m passing on these for now. Also glad there’s no box
Yeah iridescent toppers generally look pretty similar overall! Totally understand haha!
I was just dinkin around on fb and saw that cirque du Soleil is in Vegas soon at the Bellagio.. that would be cool to see. I live in Michigan so I'll have to skip it this time. Lol (I hate airplanes if u go down u r probably done for)
Hi Kelli, does the orly bonder base coat prevent stains, or is there something else you do in between swatchs to remove stains that may occur, like from a blue polish. Lol 😆
