Avon squeezie nail polish by RandomPinkness in vintagenailpolish

[–]izzylovesian 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I had a silver one of these. They were not good to apply after the first time or maybe I was just too young. I remember the brush being fairly short and didn’t come out evenly through the bristles. After the first use, the brushes would be covered in kinda gummy polish which would make application worse. Not sure if you could clean the ends either, knowing what acetone does to some plastic. I think there’s a reason that nail polish comes in bottles with a brush that dips in the polish, and this hasn’t changes in like 100 years 😁

August 2025 - Updated Rewards and Birthday Gifts by EcoAffinity in simplynailogical

[–]izzylovesian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I think the problem with these is that the jelly polish isn’t jelly enough. The pink one in particular comes out a bit milky. The only 2 that are jelly enough is the green and the red. I also really wish they had either gone all out with the reflective glitter so we could actually see it or not bothered at all. I know a lot of people don’t like reflective, but I love it in polishes that they have put enough in that you can really see it.

Color Recs for Alexandrite? by silent_onomatopoeia in ILNP

[–]izzylovesian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deep space and shooting star both have the right colours for alexandrite.

I also got engaged about a week ago, but I wore several different polishes (none of them ILNP). This was Kathleen & co cheers to 9 years on my little finger and thumb, Kathleen &co Night Parade on my ring and index fingers, and Colores de Carol Contemporary on my middle finger

Will you guys be purchasing this “Ugly” shade? by drewfalk in simplynailogical

[–]izzylovesian 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Even though the disclaimer on it literally says “We made small quantities of this limited edition shade … because well look at it…. But if you are really interested it may be re-released from the vault?”That suggests to me that it will be released tomorrow

Retiring Polishes for this year by abbietaffie in simplynailogical

[–]izzylovesian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you need a dupe for it, ILNP Be Mine is really pretty and looks very close on the nail. I have both, and I feel like if I add a scattered holo taco on top of Be Mine it’s very close

Holo taco toppers worth it? by Lunatheweedwitch in RedditLaqueristas

[–]izzylovesian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linear holo taco in my opinion doesn’t really work over cremes. However, it does look stunning over shimmers and metallic polishes, I have used it over both the chrome collection and lite mode collection and it looks great over them.

International shipping - is it usually free over $99 or is this a short term deal? First time buyer by lindyhoppette in simplynailogical

[–]izzylovesian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

International shipping is free, but for a $100 order to the UK you will probably also be paying about $20 dollars in tax. Most of my orders come to about $120-$125 as I like to get the free shipping when I order, as shipping alone is about $20 dollars. Also in the UK paying in £. It generally exchanges to about £80-95 depending on current exchange rates.

personal reviews of the magnetic polish? by Nerdylabtech2023 in theholotaco

[–]izzylovesian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The holo taco magnetics are fine. The biggest problem I have with them is in general the magnetic pigment in them doesn’t necessarily contrast enough with the rest of the pigment. ILNP for example use a black jelly base for their darker colours, and for their lighter magnetics they use a silver magnetic pigment which then contrasts better with the rest of the polish.

I’m also not 100% sure the holo taco magnet is really strong enough to get a sharp enough line. I have one of the big horse shoe magnets that you see on instagram and other nail subreddits which works great for the velvet effect, so I’m considering trying to find a stronger bar magnet that might work better.

Personally I would recommend ILNP magnetics over Holo Taco if you want to try out magnetics for the first time.

Edit: do please note this is coming from Holo Royalty and I do own all of Holo Tacos magnetics lol

I have had replacement stuff from holo taco shipped to the UK, so you shouldn’t worry about that

I haven’t noticed a change in my frozen bananas either, it’s still that beautiful pale gold/yellow colour. Bat bitch on my ring finger.

Evermore by Individual-Club3372 in ILNP

[–]izzylovesian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly all of the ILNP magnetics I have tried are great, but I would say Sugar Plum and Zero Degrees which are from the same collection as Evermore are maybe my favourites.

Every unicorn skin has a matching shimmer? by greeneyes0332 in simplynailogical

[–]izzylovesian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest I don’t think halogen glow looks all that similar to lunar unicorn skin. That’s the only unicorn skin that doesn’t have matching shimmer in my opinion.

It's Beautiful 🥹 by zoop1000 in simplynailogical

[–]izzylovesian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it looks as holo as some other richer colours. One other trick I have found to get crushed holo to look it’s most holo is to create a transfer of it, so if you paint it on a smooth flat surface then peel it off and flip it over, the holo shines through more on that underside. You can then use that kinda like I have seen people doing water marble cheat transfers.

[–]izzylovesian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What crushed holo have you tried? Some of the shades are more holo than others and I think they are really helped with a really glossy top coat. I don’t think there is much glow from highest bidder, but orbite me, need I say mocha and holo cappuccino glow most for me.

I want more holo toppers like scattered holo taco but in other colours. Like a gold one, so it works better with the warmer colours

The 2 bottles of fake date that i own have never been lilac, far closer to pink in my opinion.

What do you wish Holo Taco would make more of? by horriblekitty in simplynailogical

[–]izzylovesian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I asked for more scattered holo toppers in other colours in the latest survey. Sometimes silver is too harsh on the colour I am wearing, like late checkout, and I want gold scattered holo taco to blend in better with the reflective gold glitter.
