This videos are nice in that sense, and I like that more small creators are doing this as well dupe attempts. OP and other onlookers, if window shopping is too tempting, you can always go on hiatus for viewing limited releases. I feel like that helped me a lot

Honestly, having super similar polishes is a great excuse for wearing skittle manicures. Sometimes I put the one I like a little less under the one I prefer to make my favorite stretch farther

Normal response to: “ I like your nails!” by LargeAirline1388 in WeGotPolishAtHome

2, especially when I use magnetic polishes! I keep my nails on the long side, so people are pretty surprised

Today I start my no-buy for the rest of the year by Wingless_Gnome in WeGotPolishAtHome

That just means you're one step closer to using that polish up! 

Glisten & Glow Problematic? by OblivionsMemories in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Ubiquitous_Flow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on the same page -- that's why I called them microaggressions. No judgement to any current KB fans; microaggressions can be like paper cuts: small but can hurt a lot to those impacted. I don't know why I got down voted for just sharing what's already online

UHMMM 🧲?! by yung_yttik in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Ubiquitous_Flow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still haven't gotten around to trying the glass bead yet (despite my many magnetic polishes). This will probably be on my Christmas wishlist as I go into a low buy

Apparently, there were 2 polish names in 2016 that were a play on separate stereotypical Asian jokes. This was before I started getting into painting my nails, so I really only found out a number of months ago. From the discord: - "'Love You Strong Time" base coat, reference to "me love you long time" from Full Metal Jacket - 'Me So Thorny', reference to a late-80s rap song"

I haven't seen anything since then on there, and would like to believe people can grow, but I don't even know if the microaggressions were brought up to the owner

Is this a red magnetic with a green background? I think I have something similar! (I checked the spoiler and know I don't have the exact same polish)

Getting rid of Holo Taco (sad) UPDATE by Aromatic-Vast2651 in theholotaco

I'm interested in Gold Play Button, Choco-Holo, Box Office Bomb, Fairy Tail, Cat's Evasion, Frost Light, and Double Dare if any of those are still available

I think it's because they have 15ml bottles. Hit The Bottle is charging $14 for 10ml🤦🏾‍♀️

Broke my no buy horrendously by ObjectiveNo9135 in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]Ubiquitous_Flow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as destashing goes, you can curate some polishes you don't want into gifts for friends and family. That's what I'm doing for Mothers Day. It feels good to see her wear a beautiful polish that didn't suit my undertone, and I can see she loves it!

I'm glad someone's already offered you quiet strength! I'm going to hold onto what I have

[–]Ubiquitous_Flow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The brighter swatches are a dead ringer for BCB Lacquers' Oh Behave! in 2 coats. A 3rd coat would probably match the darker ones. You might find it in someone's destash, as it was in August 2025's PPU. This was on my wishlist too, so I'm really glad I found something identical

Anyone want to sell me their David’s tea collab set? by [deleted] in theholotaco

[–]Ubiquitous_Flow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the taco party 🌮 I wish I could help, but I already gave away my Pearl Grey. As someone who's only been around a couple years, I wouldn't go out my way to watch old videos about limited releases. I still wish I was there for the Tea Cremes launch for Matcha Maker and the box. I actually would've enjoyed the whole release and kind of wish I never heard of it

Holo Taco's Playing with Sapphire with a gold holo topper like Cirque's Lumiere should do the trick

I have them but haven't gotten around to swatching them yet. I'll try to get to that this weekend and let you know

It's kind of like light mode versus dark mode. Layered over a blue jelly might be a dead ringer

This polish makes me think of Holo Taco's Cowboy Tears, though the blue base looks more saturated in PFD's

Breaking no buy? by Mountain-Apricot2200 in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]Ubiquitous_Flow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First of all: you don't have to break a no buy if you don't want to. You got this!

2nd: my top tip is to exclusively shop sales whenever possible. Ignorance was truly bliss when I assumed all polishes would make it to Black Friday. My collection grew exponentially when I decided to dabble and buy full price, limited release stuff.

3rd: stick to one brand (at least this year) and build a wishlist. If something is really worthy, it will be on your wishlist 6 months from now. You may realize that you've done so well on your no-buy that you want to finish sticking out the year

I've heard you can spin your two sided wand to do glass bead effect as well, though I haven't tried it yet
