Oh maaaan, I could watch this for literally hours. Just toppers on all kinds of polishes. This is incredibly satisfying, lol. ❤🤩
Oh my this is such a great video. I'm always trying to make my own looks with polishes and toppers to recreate some newer polishes I love but can't buy. I love delirium and the kbshimmer toppers. This video will definitely be on my replay list so I can follow your recommendations for pairings! Thank you for this video !
That makes me so happy!!! So glad you’re feeling inspired to try some combos of your own 💕
How fun! LOVE your take on toppers over lighter polishes and different finishes! Don't be afraid to own it and don't be shy about it! You have great taste and all the nail community is talking about your super duper topper video!:-)
Awwwww thank you so much 💜💜💜💜
Caitlin you’re so creative with the combo! Really eye opening video that I’ll rewatch a lot.
Awwww thank you so much 💕💕💕
All hail the topper queen! I never would have thought of some of those combos! I love green/teal and purple together too.
Thank you so much 👑 I will accept the crown.
New to toppers. I learned a lot of great ideas, including that I have been sitting on the KB Shimmer toppers. I love their polishes, so no clue why I was ignoring the toppers.
Watching your videos is an expensive activity for me because I get introduced to so many new brands!!!! Thanks for the content though, and love the sweater, too! (I am several years late on commenting so I hope you still have it and wear it!)
Glad you like them!
I don't wear many dark polishes, so I was so glad to see you layering over lighter polishes!
Same! Light polishes work so well with toppers and they should be shown that way more often 🤩
Was wanting to buy a holo flaky topper and I remembered this video. Thanks to this video I decided to buy Cirque’s Delirium. I’ve never owned a Cirque Colors polish before, so I ordered Delirium + 4 other polishes, and I used your affiliate code.
I hope you know your videos are very helpful, even your older videos. 💅🏻
Glad I could help with your decision. Thanks for using the code!
Girl you took toppers to another level. You made me feel like wearing toppers. Thank you.
That's the best compliment!! Thank you so much
Ooooh, so many awesome Mani ideas!!! I wouldn't have thought to add more than one topper at a time, sooooo cool, thank u
This was a really fun video! I’m in the “I have a ton of toppers but never use them” camp but now I’m feeling inspired! I ordered Batsy from Rogue along with their rainbow metallic flakie topper and now I can’t wait to layer them over all the polish! 😂 I really liked all the soft colors you used as base colors. I usually think dark colors first when using toppers but I’m going to try lights and neutral colors now. In fact, I got a neon matte glitter topper at the dollar store and I bet it would look really cool over a beigey nude-for-me color.
P. S. Love the new hairstyle! It’s so cute!
Neons look AMAZING over nudes!!!! Do it! I’m so excited to hear you’re gonna try some new combos. And that you have Batsy. It’s really great.
And thank you!!
@@CaitlinSwatches You’re welcome! 😊 I will definitely do the neon glitter over nude polish next time I need a bright spot of color! I’m getting my rogue lacquer package today and I’m so excited to play with Batsy!
Great video. I too love Batsy. I would love an update on your favourite toppers.
I love this so much! I'm pretty new to owning many toppers, and I would never have thought to pair finishes like this. Thanks for the inspiration!
You’re so welcome! I’m glad you feel inspired 💕🥰
Wow, I am soooo inspired! I collect toppers and typically layer over cream finish, I can't wait to try some of these combos!
I’m so happy to hear that! Can’t wait for you to get more mileage out of your toppers.
I loved this video! I've recently gotten really into toppers. I like seeing you combine them because that's what I like to do just to make them even more extra!
Yes!! I want my nails to be EXTRA always haha 💕 Glad you like toppers too.
I love this video because I'm not the most creative but I love creative looks! Thanks for the inspiration! I never thought to pair a multichrome base with a holo flake topper or vice versa! Please make more inspo videos like this!!!
So glad yoh enjoyed it!
I really appreciate the time and creativity behind this video. As a topper fan, this was amazing to see and relate. No combos really go wrong with each other, and the best thing about polishes is that the possibilities are endless and fun!
You’re so right! Glad you’re also a topper fan.
These are awesome, I always just think of putting toppers on cremes. This is opening a lot of new doors for me...
Oh yay!! Glad to hear that 🥰
Thank you Caitlin for the great video. I started loving toppers after you swatched crystal Tokyo. I was lucky enough to get a bottle of Cirque spotted and have loved transforming the look of polishes with it. Polished for Days Frozen Heart is a great topper too. I keep missing out on Love Bug 2.0. I finally just signed up for email notification cause I love how it looks on you. Thanks for sharing 💜
Thank you so much! I am so glad to hear that. I will definitely check out Frozen Heart... sounds like something I would like!
I love this video, I have seen two other people that I watch talk about this video and I somehow missed it.
I too am a topper buyer and rarely wear them but still love to have them. 🤣 I need to make more of an effort and try it on with different finishes instead of just cremes
Yay! I’m glad you’re gonna try new bases for your toppers. And so funny people mentioned this video. I feel famous!!!
Love this! I recently added Holo taco gold flakes over Holo taco mint mojito (green linier holo) and don’t even know why. Never done anything like it before but was blown away 😊 You have some many combos I now want to try!
I need to grab the Gold Flake HT. That sounds like a great combo!
Such a satisfying video ☺️ I don’t recall ever seeing a flakie over a linear holographic before. That is genius and the result is so fun!
Thank you!!! Glad you liked this 💕
CAITLIN YOU CUT YOUR HAIR! ❤️🔥😍 A VISION!
You are too kind!! Thank you hehe
Wow, I was just thinking if I should get rogue lacquer batsy and I see this video! I'm really surprised that the flakes are so dense with only one coat! Now I'm adding it to my shopping cart hahaha, thank you for sharing!
You’re very welcome! It’s super dense.
This is so inspiring to be creative! Just a few toppers creates whole new collections in your existing collections ♥️
Exactly! I can’t stop using them now on every mani. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Love this video. I just did my nails with Essie Sheers to you topped with Patty Lopes Fashion Dress. 😊 and your hair and sweater are so pretty
Thank you so much!! And that sounds like a great combo 😍
All of these are just so frickin beautiful I can't even! I'd forgotten about Girly Bits, then saw your purple Demon swatch, went to the site, and now I'm tempted to buy myself a $$ haul.
Ahhh I’m so glad you like them. Sorry to your wallet!! But you’ll love any of these toppers.
Thank you so much for the inspo! I have trouble figuring out what to do with my toppers
Ooooh you’re so welcome! Glad you feel inspired 💕
You are SUCH an enabler! You just forced me to go buy KBShimmer’s Isle drink to that!!! 👀 🤣
I’m sorrrrrry 😂
Thank you for this video -- it was very inspiring and you gave me lots of new ideas for how to layer toppers!
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear.
Wow!! What a video. What amazing combos! Lots of inspiration here!
Yay! So glad you think so
This is so wonderful!!! I also love toppers and sometimes have trouble pairing them. I love the ethereal look. I am saving this to rewatch again and pick out some combinations to try. Also adding Delirium and at least one ridge filling base coat to my collection.
I’m so glad you find it helpful! You’ll absolutely love Delirium and I haven’t met a ridge filling base coat I haven’t loved
Caitlin - do you have Enchanted Polish Rainbow Juice with Pulp? It’s a flakie holo in a scatter (or linear, I can’t remember right now) holo topper. Loooove it over all sorts of things.
Also - ILNP’s original series of multichrome flakie toppers are awesome sauce! Neon Rosebud, Phoenix, Gaia, etc. , plus others she’s added along the way, like The Road to Awe & Ferris Wheel.
Plus, there is Rogue’s topper with her “Arizona” collection warm flakies, plus it has some holo in it too. Love that one. And add her Unicorn Blood topper - Aurora shimmer. Wowza.
Rogue also has all these colored metallic toppers in individual colors. Plus they combine really well. Love the bright blue with the green or the lavender.
And Fancy Gloss has some of those colors on matching thermals. I’m particularly fond of the emerald one in its thermal.
Hi Amy!! Yes I have that Enchanted Polish topper and love it so much. I’m being very sparing with it since the brand no longer exists 😭
I will have to check out those Rogue Lacquer ones because I absolutely love Batsy.
I’ve tried one Fancy Gloss and loved it so I definitely need to try more!
I love multichrome flakes over holo or metallic holos (like ILNP happy hour, private reserve, lucky one). Especially silver, gray, or black.
I did ILNP Ferris Wheel over first class (retired metallic silver holo - avalanche looks similar) and it was so gorgeous.
That sounds like a beautiful combo! I think I should try the flakes over a metallic holo next! Thanks 💖
Great ideas. I don't give my toppers enough love. I'll try some of your ideas. 😊
Yay!! That makes me so happy to hear 💕💕💕
Love them all! But the last two OMG they are beautiful!!! Thanks for the video and all the ideas too, take care
Yay!!! I’m so glad you liked the video 🥰
Love all your combos, and you gave me some great ideas for some of the toppers I have. I have a lot of toppers, some I just had to have but didn't realy have a plan for. Great ideas here, many thanks Caitlin!
I am so glad you found it helpful! Glad you will be making use of those in your collection soon!!
That was so fun to watch! I have a few of those toppers too! Can't wait to try out some new combinations!
Yay!! So glad you liked it and will try some new combos 💕
Great ideas for my toppers. I am very inspired to play thanks!
Oh yay!! Enjoy playing with your toppers 😊
Great video! You have new some interesting ideas for my toppers. Thank you!
You are very welcome! Glad you enjoyed :)
This video could have been twice as long, I adore toppers and have waaaaay too many myself, and could have watched these combos for hours. Have you ever tried fancy gloss toppers?
Oh I am so happy to hear that!! I could have definitely kept going haha. I have not but someone else mentioned them so I think I need to try them soon!
So fun! Loved seeing all the ethereal looks🦄🌈🪄 and some really good undies! Thanks for the inspo!🙏🏻 ..and my wishlist just got looonger...😅 btw if I make a particularly good combo I usually save it on a swatchstick with names layers and all, don't trust myself to remember...
Ohhh yay!! That's a great tip about the swatch sticks. I should try that because I always forget too.
This video was a hit! Thank you for the inspiration to try these looks. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
You’re very welcome! So glad you enjoyed it.
This is sooo good! I'm totally stealing all your ideas! The way you layer polishes is so lovely.
And I'm really happy 😍👍right now and so weird
So glad you like the ideas! Enjoy 😊
I love looking at toppers, buying them, but I never use them!!! Or very little. I prefer buying a polish that has all my favorite finishes combined (holo, shimmer, flakes).
That's totally fair! If you can go all-in-one that's great too.
That hair length looks so good on you!
Thank you!!!
I love your combos! Must try ✨
Awesome. Now I need to go buy some more toppers!
You won’t regret it!!
Great video! You gave me lots of good ideas. I love toppers on my creme finishes but now I want to branch out and try your suggestions!
Oh yay! I’m so glad you’re going to try some new combos 💕
Excellent show!!!!💙💚💜💛🧡❤️ glitter on girl!
Thank you 🤗
I have a lot of toppers but I don't use them as much as I should. Of all the looks you showed, I'm shocked to say that my favorites were the 2 over the VNL blurring base. I just love the simplicity of that look!
Yes! That simplicity is very elegant and fun.
I also have a shameful amount of toppers. And I've barely worn any of them 🤦♀️😏Great combos!
I hope you’re inspired to try some soon! I have neglected mine for too long
Your hair looks great!! Love it and all the toppers too. ❤
Aww! Thank you so much!!
what a great video thank you!! I love your sweater!! can you tell us where you got it?
Thank you! Yes it’s from the brand Molly Bracken. I got it over two years ago but maybe you’ll be able to find one! Oh and it’s actually a dress.
@@CaitlinSwatches thank you!
Soooo many fun ideas!🤍
Glad you think so! 😁
Such a FUN video!!! Thank you!! 💕
Wow! I am so glad you like it!
Loooove your sweater!♥️❤️
Thank you!
I love iridescent flakies over light nudes, off whites, and light greys.
Oooh yes greys!!! Forgot about that combo.
This was a very helpful video. Thanks
I am so glad you found it helpful!!
Love the video, very detailed and I like that you use different combo because I do the exact same lol
The only thing I find weird in your videos are the transitions it's switches from black in between so automatically think an ad will play lol
Take that as constructive criticism
But still love the video
That is SUPER helpful! I thought it was helpful to separate but maybe there's a better way I can do it. Thank you And glad you also like making fun combos!!!
I love toppers, but I rarely take the time to do more than 2 accent nails one each hand. With basecoat, 2-3 coats of color and topcoat, my patience and time often run out sqeeze in a topper as well.
That’s totally fair! It can make for a lot of layers.
Amaaaazing Video!!!!I'm a topper girl too😍
Yes! Thank you 💕💕💕
Thank you! New Subscriber ☺️
I love toppers more than "normal" polishes actually 😊 ....am always on the hunt for toppers ... I live in UK so I can't access a lot of indie brands 😶... I mix toppers with each other a lot and skip the base polish & it works out perfectly fine and I can get some mind-blowing effects ☺️
I love to wear toppers on their own! I hope you find some new good ones soon.
omg 5:02 !!! LOVE
Right?! So pretty together!!
You need to try dimension nails vegan unicorn topper!!!
Oooh thank you! I will check it out.
Which toppers are the top 3 sparkliest holo nail polish of all time that's still available? Please, I gotta know! :D
I would say Flakie Holo Taco, Cirque Colors Delirium and Scattered Holo Taco. Enjoy!
I'm like you, hate all in 1s sometimes, I like the choice to create my own look...
Yes! It’s great to DIY the kind of polish look you want.
Привет. Видео интересное, 👍
Спасибо
