Holo Taco

Holo Taco sounds like a weird food, but it is actually a high-quality nail polish brand started by a Canadian Youtuber called Simply Nailogical (Cristine Rotenberg). Holo Taco was launched on July 6, 2019 and it sold out in the first two hours. It is also vegan and cruelty free. Most of the products are centered around holo (holographic) which is the shifting of rainbows. So, from the products I could get, they were high-quality and worth every penny.

 

The batch of items I got were a pack of six sponges, a nail file, and protective peel (Liquid latex). It was about $30 plus shipping ($6.99) First, the sponges are used for nail art, usually gradients. The sponges were great, they are $3.00, white and triangular, and they did not flake off into the nail polish like many sponges do. The nail file was a glass file, it is pink and purple, it is $10.00, and it is one of the best files I have ever used and its very effective. The peel was perfect, it is $12.00, it is very easy to maneuver around my cuticles. I would give these products a 10/10.

 

My second batch of items were a set of two gorgeous nail polishes named after her two cats, Menchie and Zyler. The first one is Menchie’s, a light pink holographic polish. To get the perfect sparkle you can combine it with the sponges and sponge on the polish. Now Zyler’s (my personal favorite), is an orange holographic polish. It is a perfect fall color if you are feeling festive. You can also use the sponge to get more sparkle. The cost for the set is $26.00 but to get them separate its $13.00 for each bottle. From all the polishes I have used these are the best, they last for about one and a half weeks before I must repaint them, and both of the bottles are 12ml.

 

Holo Taco is constantly putting out new products. One of their more recent products was for Cristine’s birthday, it is silver, and it has a purple iridescent tint. They also tease new polishes; an example was in the beginning of November they teased a new winter set and they dropped it on November 7 that costed $65.00. The winter set comes with five different frosted colors. The colors are purple, green, orange, blue, and silver. So, with Holo Taco not only do you get high quality products, but you will also be able to take care of your nails.
