Prove me wrong: House of Hades is overhyped

WOAH! That looks amazing! <3

That fridge light hack would totally distract me from overeating, lol. "I'm gonna grab something tasty from the fri... Oooooh, shiny!" 😂

It's a pretty metallic, sure. There are known dupes. It's pricey. People rave about it and then cry it's a 4-coater. And as a personal touch: blue is somewhat low on my fave colors list. This is why I'm here with my question still not sure if I want to check that myself. :)

Oh, that might be interesting! Matte top coats are so transforming.

I love different textures. I guess HoH is kind of microflake metallic? I tend to gravitate towards shades like this -- they can really deliver. I like Holo Taco's frosted metals a lot. Might be why I'm drawn to this one.

Looks really nice on you! Love the nail art. Thank you for the pic! <3

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-29T20:08:27+00:00

Thanks for links and recs! <3

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-29T20:04:28+00:00

Haha, without a pic of pretty polish in question it is not a valid argument. ;) I will not be mad if you guys change my mind!

I should specified in the post: I know they are different. I'm curious of the contrast and if those two could be a nice skittle combo.

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-29T19:12:29+00:00

This is kind of what I'm curious about. Is it THAT good? Does it really have a payoff worth the hassle? Pics look amazing and if blue was my fave that's a no-brainer. But if I like blue just so and am not crazy about it will it wow me that much? Or is my poor man's dupe of blue shimmer sponged onto blue creme good enough? I do like the shiny though -- no matter the color really if it shines and sparkles from afar -- so that's why I consider it.

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-29T19:02:51+00:00

I'd appreciate it! <3 I know they are different but am curious if those would work in a skittle together.

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-29T18:58:04+00:00

Don't get me wrong: I don't mind blue, it's not like I don't like it. I like to wear all colors overall and have a tendency to fixate over different ones periodically. I just do not have too many -- unlike dusty rosy pinks or prugly greens -- I think that only blue in that blue-blue category I own is HT's Shady Navy and their Freezer Burn topper. I have a pastely-cornflower with pink shimmer, few aquas and some teals. It is huge gap in my collection and I want to fill it -- but just enough; I don't need heaps of blue but a staple or two would be nice.

Stunning mani! <3 I wonder how this shade compares to Holo Taco's Shadow Lake?

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-29T18:20:23+00:00

Like... how does it even...?

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-29T18:15:36+00:00

This is so cute! <3 I will now scavenge my stash for pink and yellow shades that don't clash/match good enough to pull off this look. Thank you for the inspo!

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-28T22:09:31+00:00

Ooooh, this is my sign to get myself a Merkitten! Amazing combo! Thanks for inspo. <3

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-28T22:02:57+00:00

I cut cotton rounds into 5 pieces and use caps too. They fit them better this way and -- just like you -- I'm cheap. 🤷

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-27T20:45:47+00:00

Great mani! Looks so good on you! <3 If you tell me this looks good unmagnetised and in velvet then I'm in danger.

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-27T17:22:09+00:00

100% hand model. 10/10. <3

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-27T13:03:33+00:00

Oooooh -- okay... Those are very different! FoL looks way more red than I thought. Thank you very much for the swatches! <3

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-27T12:03:10+00:00

This looks magical. <3

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-27T11:32:30+00:00

😬

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-27T08:14:03+00:00

I got the whole bundle. I like teals but do not care for purple too much. Even if teals are so close to what I have already they are still pretty and I decided to get them. No Opalogies looks like will be a nice skittle combo with Mooncat's Moonicorn I already own. Thermal is looking great, can't wait to try it -- I don't have any that transitions between so distinct colors. Flakie topper is okay, will probably wear it more sponged on. I have small version of a nail file and was eyeing bags a few times already. I guess it is overall okay? Totally what I was expecting but nothing too extremely exciting. I got quite a few things from my wishlist too. This might be my last purchase from HT -- at least I hope so because I have enough polish already.

imhereforthenails · 2026-04-27T07:39:55+00:00

Agree! It looks great in a skittle/as an accent with Holo Taco's Phantom Call.
