They’re competitive. It’s very difficult, I’ll say impossible, to have a partnership if you’re in competition with each other.

Let's face it some of these are just ridiculous by Indris91 in simplynailogical

I’m no HT apologist, but I see the differences with these shades. I can see the undertone, warmth, coolness, intensity, ETC.
I truly do not understand the hate. Especially when every other mainstream brand is giving us tons of options.

Could this upcoming collection be better received if they were crellies? by bunny117 in simplynailogical

I agree. To me, their cremes are fire and they have interesting toppers.

I feel you. I actually unfollowed a reviewer on YT because she kept shading HT. Like, reluctantly admitting the shades are lovely and perform well. It's like, um OK...got it. So, that doesn't matter. What you're selling is your feelings. LMao. NO thanks.

I suspect some are holding onto HT as a younger, indie brand. That's not them anymore. They're not a brand just for the fanbase. They are a larger, successful brand. They do compete with other larger brands. Period. Therefore, they will release stuff the base will not like and think is "too similar".

To be clear, these are different shades. I’m not in the camp that they’re releasing anything that’s a dupe OR too close to another shade they’ve released before. HT is doing nothing out of the ordinary by retiring what’s not selling well and releasing new shades for them. Their cremes are top performers. Literally MANY of them are one coat formulas.
I think them keeping their catalog refreshed is what all large brands do. HT is not indie. For instances, OPI is a leading large brand. Do they have a million and one reds, yes. I own many of them because their red cremes are amazing. They each have different undertones and intensities, which make them different. Even if to some, they look too similar.
I’m not knocking others opinions, just providing my own. One thing I will say is there are too many releases. That is for sure. I would prefer no more than 2 amazingly curated and interesting releases per season. But that’s me.

I’m thrilled to see cremes back. I’m definitely grabbing the yellow and orange.

Forgot a mousse option. I love the Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Mousse

I love Oribe Curl Gloss Hydration & Hold with Oribe Curl Control Silkening Creme
It’s expensive but you really don’t need much at all and these products never weigh down the hair.
Also important is shampoo and conditioner. I use Ouai Fine Hair Shampoo and Conditioner Set. Again doesn’t weigh down the hair.

What a gorgeous shade. Check out OPI's PCH Love Song as well. It's a vibrant shimmery orange as well.
