I always used Sally Hansen bc I didn't know that you could buy polish that actually dries LOL

Not that I ever wear pastels (literally never), but holo pastels could be nice.

I am still waiting for Holo Taco to do more plain colors! I don't really wear dark nail polish. But I want something with a good formula. I would also love if you guys did multichromes!!!!

It would be really cool to have nude holos. Like a similar formula as the linear rainbow collection but then a range from a deep dark warm brown to a pale beige pink. It would look different from just a holo topcoat over a nude since the holo would be in a coloured gelly base and it would look way more dimensional. It would also be cool if the holo itself was coloured nude instead of just silver. It would be the most holo sexual collection since they're nudes ;)

I would buy 'regular' or 'boring' colors from your brand as you have taken the time to build the relationship between you and quality products. I 'feel' as if each of your polishes have been thoroughly tested by you to ensure that they are high performing. You have shown us video evidence of that! The 'drugstore' or 'boring' brands - while yes, they are much more widely spread - cannot hold a candle to your One Coat Black. I have 7 other black polishes that I don't even use - because I got some One Coat Black. I am patiently waiting for Royal-tea blue to come back in stock because I NEED it. This was a long comment but my point is - you have built the brand loyalty that equates into people continuing to buy your product - even though it is at a higher price point - because you built that relationship, and they KNOW they will get quality. KNOCK THEM OTHER COMPANIES OFF THEIR STUPID DRUGSTORE PEDESTALS~!

I love these small clips from the podcasts.

April fools joke next year: comparing nude polishes.

I feel like some neon crèmes would be a fantastic addition to the holo taco lineup. Opaque neons are definitely something you can’t find at the drug store, plus they fit holo taco’s brand really well imho

I'll save yall 3 minutes of your time. She doesn't mention any brands like the title says...she just says she doesn't like drugstore

Hearing Ben say, "Special Effect Topper" had me giddy

A Burgundy holo would be gorgeous

Neutral nail polishes.... yes, I definitely have neutrals.... *looks at an entire tower of hot pink, blues, greens, and purples all in different finishes*

Yes please.. I WANT BORING CREME BY HOLO TACO!! I will automatically know it's going to be a high quality product. TAKE MY MONEY CRISTINE!!!😂😂 BUT SERIOUSLY.. DO IT!!!

I disagree about disliking a whole brand. Ice brand from Walmart is trash.

I think a lot of people have always thought of Holo Taco as Christine's brand, but Ben always refers to it as theirs and seems to be really invested. How involved is Ben? What is his role in the business?

I love the “skin tone holo” idea ive seen some people mention, I would 100% buy that

I love that you guys post these highlights. thank you for being accessible!

Does anyone else have this that everytime when I search for Mooncat videos, this one comes up in the results?? 🤣

Seriously I need you all to make a pink. I mean HOT PINK, your cremes are dreamy and would just love your quality in those type of polishes. Yes we have them but they are not the quality that we get from Holo taco. I mean I would love for all my layers to be the same brand because sometimes I find mixing brands just doesn’t go well together.

Ugh I would love holo taco to make more base colors. I know they’re like everywhere but like I like holo taco’s formula sooo much better than any other company.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love holo in all its kinds and forms but I love pastels as well! Not nude, I find it boring, but a pale pink, baby blue, light violet, mint green, etc. are some of my favourite colours in general, including nail polish colours. However I agree with Cristine, you could find those polishes anywhere and Holo Taco always comes out with something unique and I think it should stay that way

Girl just say Essie we’re all thinking it

We have boring creme polishes, but we want your one cost amazing formula. I’d love to see a line of rainbow one coat crèmes

I understand where Cristine is coming from feeling like her consumers would already have these baseline products as they're wide spread, but the issue is they aren't wide spread in high quality in my opinion. Or at the very least not as well formulated as the Holo Taco formulas. In my experience, most high quality formulas are going to have to be ordered online since they aren't really readily available. If I'm shopping online, I'd much rather be supporting my Holo Queen! 💿👸

When I saw the title, I immediately thought of Essie

If Holo Taco made cream polish it would not be boring because their formula is off the charts AMAZING!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

“Pastels and cremes aren’t really part of the brand” 8 months later...

I think that with the brand's starting products being toppers like the unicorn skins and the holo tacos it makes a lot of sense for the brand's image to add basic cremes to the line over time! Even if you only release a few neutrals in a year, that's all you need to build up a universal base. Kick off with a beigey pink and a chocolate brown and that's enough to include just about every skin tone in two cremes. Also, some nude linear holos would be killer. Like, a lawyer or doctor could wear some holo beige to work and their professional image wouldn't suffer.

I like how thoughtful Ben is about the business. He pays attention to feedback.

fave nail product: holotaco only brand thats helped me stop biting my nails!

Tastes are very different. I love nudes and browns and creme colours for nailpolish, but I also appreciate all the unique polishes from your brand. I'd wear them as accent nails but I could never wear them on all my fingers. I just love classy, clean minimalistic nails and that's ok. I'd still buy a holo taco immediately if you'd shipped to my country 😅

I did not belive that i whould like this podcast and i was shocked when you put first episode of this i love it!

:looks at pastel rainbow Holo collection on my shelf:

I think that Holo Taco pastels could be nice, but like, in the future maybe. Because you've pointed out before, polishes from the same brand *tend* to work better together. I'm not saying a full set of neutrals, but like, what I see people usually call the Easter Egg spread of colors. Even a set of four of like, light pink/yellow/green/blue.

Everyone seems to love Essie, but for some reason Essie hates my nails. My base and top coat are fine, because they work with every other polish that I have had, but Essie cracks within a day, or peels off (yes I wrap the tip etc), doesn't apply smoothly etc. And the polish isn't faulty either, because it works for everyone else who've tried my Essie polishes. I guess my nails are as cheap as me, because Essence, Flormal and Catrice work the best for my nails. Lasts for over a week before it even chips.

Hi!! I love your videos so much! Hope you feel better!! 💕

Who’s here in 22’ when Holo taco cremes are flourishing?

for me, as someone whose interest in nail polish i actually want to own and use kind of starts and ends with holo taco and your channel, I don’t have those basic nude and pink creme polishes already, and i also don’t feel i have the knowledge to be able to find another brand that’s as well formulated as holo taco on my own. Currently your brand is the only high-end nail polish brand that i have faith that is high quality and i will enjoy, that i know of. And so, of course i would want Holo Taco to release a creme line, because its something i want to buy and own to use with your other products, and i don’t know where else to get it currently, even if it’s clearly not holo taco’s focus as a brand.

Poparazzi (CVS Pharmacy's house brand) makes nice multi chromes. I bought Mermaid Charade and Born Unicorn today. The only drawback is that you have to use a black nail polish for a base to make these colors really pop. I used LA Colors Color Last polish in Onyx (CNP 31), because it doesn't take more than two coats to build the color, and it dries pretty quick.

I am the exact opposite - I exclusively creme nudes and pinks (occasionally red if I feel adventurous) I tbh I extremely dislike any sort of glitter, holo, multi-anything

I know they're Both Mature Adults who are being Professional but I have to admit it's rather boring to not name names and constantly be so Careful. I guess most of us seek the drama nowadays because it's exciting to hear someone voice opinions but. Nice to see someone act like a human being online lol.

Cristine: "everyone has a nude or beige base coat!" Me, looking at my one single bottle of black nail polish on my desk

I can't wait for the next collection!!! Whatever it is, I hope I get my hands on it before it sells out.

I personally like neutral polishes because they go well with most of my outfits and I feel like they're flattering for my finger shape

Omg, I actually live for this

I would love a line of pastel cremes to put unicorn skin/ frosty blue holo.

1:16 -- oh, how the tables have turned. Personally, I love that Holo Taco is slowly expanding into cremes. I enjoy sparkle once in a while, especially the unicorn toppers, and the new shimmer is gorgeous, but generally speaking I want my nails to be a dark creme with a light accent color (or vice versa). The new "pastel violet," laven-duh color is especially beautiful. I just wish it came out 5 months ago. This collection matched my wedding colors exactly, and it would've been nice to have a high quality creme to wear that day xD

Watching this thinking, but you have so many pastels, Cristine! Then I realized this was posted a year ago. Awesome progress, Holo Taco!

i would love to see some of these shades as cremes! sage & military green, mauve, ginger, thulian pink, fire brick red and a mustard yellow 😍

We own the beige and pink, but it's low quality :-(

I LOVE the wet and wild no black light gel polishes that they had a few years ago. I think they discontinued the line but when I saw them on clearance at Walgreens I bought one in each shade and 3 in black because they’re my favorite. They go so long without chipping and were less than $5 a bottle.

I’m here after holo taco just created a pastel pink and a cyan color! I’m glad to know she is branching out and making all kinds of polishes!

cristine: it’s just like makeup. ben: mmhm

I love the holo taco creme formula and would love to have more colour options. The Holo taco top coats sit so well on them.

I love that this highlight was in my recommended and prompted me to rewatch it now that Cristine's come out with creme pastels and is likely about to release holo pastels as well lmao

This is such a fair statement! My gateway nail polish brand was Essie and I still love their wide flat brush. I do love their more recent collections with easy to use cremes but since I got into Indie brands and holo...it’s hard to look back! 😆 Having less time for dry time with 2 little ones, I’m getting into gels and wondering, can I add holo taco over a dry, cured gel nail polish? Most gels can be boring creme formulas. 😔

I rarly wear nail polish bit since covid i been doing a lot of practice. I love doing glitter but i had to take a bake because my nail were getting week and cracking and peeling. Your tutorials have helped a lot.

NAIL PRISMS SALLY HANSON was my favorite back in the day ♡

*proceeds to make pastel collection*

When you totally get Cristine’s logic....but also would die for just a few good quality holo taco pastel base colours 🤣😍 *dreams of pink/lilac/sky blue/mint collection* cough oooh and maybe a lemon cough 😆 okay I’ll stop now

Neon holos please. Need me a good neon green!

I would love some pastel purple and baby pink 🥺💜💕

I don’t do other pastels because a lot of the formulas are streaky. I trust your quality control and would definitely buy your pastels!

I love the ps gel effect polishes from Primark (live in the UK) dries super fast, long lasting and most are smooth one coaters.

Listening to this 2 years later and HoloTaco now has crémes! 💅🏻

do I own 5 different classic dark red nail polishes? Yes. Am I 100% happy with any of them? Nope. I would love a really good quality dark red nail polish! Like the one coat black but just in red!

I love the holo taco formula, so more creme base polishes would be nice. The quick dry factor is so useful.

I think a collegiate line would be so cool. Like, I’m attending Mizzou, and you could pair black and gold together in a bundle 🤩

And now there's pastels lol

I would love to see more scattered holo stuff!

i would buy like a earth tone holo or shimmer collection tbh! i love browns and earthy tones but i NEED mah holo

I love Essie's colors but my nails dont always agree with them in terms of drying smoothly, same with sinful colors (if it dries to begin with!)

I love both of your cups. I love the colors.

I would absolutely love if they came out with a nude line! I love sparkle, but only once in awhile. But I also love her formula and it’s the only brand that has lasted more then 3 days on me. So even though every brand has “nude shades” id still buy theirs in a heartbeat.

I just recently bought the glossy taco and one of the holo tacos and I cant express how much I love them! I'm usually not super bold tho, and I'd love to see some good quality "boring" polishes or multichromes especially since I really appreciate how your brand is vegan and cruelty free.

For real had a Sally Hanson polish eat my nails off of my fingers...and it was a holo nude🤦‍♀️ Never again with that brand!

Funny she used liquid lipstick as an example because the ONLY one I have ever found that lasted more than an hour is Cover Girl Outlast but it still dries my lips out even with the gloss. Finally gave up on it when they changed my go to color to a different formula.

and here she is, releasing holo taco pastels

I would love a nice one coat pastel colour as most of then are two to three coats and are often some sad pastel colour

I love sparkley polish but I also really love a pretty pale pink too

I just got a Sally Hanson add

I would love a nude nail polish collection from holo taco (even one with a twist), since a lot of professionals can’t really wear non-neutrals to their office!

I get that the pastel and neutral colors are highly available but Id love a holo taco brand of like a pastel purple or pastel pink....sometimes its hard to find a good quality pastel/neutral nail polish so if holo taco came out with one Id buy them right away

At least for me I would be interested in more plain colors in holo taco mostly because of Christine's input in the quality. I mean I have a few nudes that I love but they don't wear long enough however I have nail issues and even gel doesn't stay for longer than a week. The main interest is in knowing she could make the best product because of her knowledge and experience.

I wish you would recreate BENANA from The custom nail polish video you did with Sofia on holotoco

Some holo or super glittery pastels would be incredible. Like an easter rave lol

essie. I dont know what it is but their nail polish doesn't last past a day on my nails. it cracks within 24 hours

I love Sally hansen, atleast the insta dry ones . Their nail hardeners are amazing ,i love what they do for my nails

I like painting my nails but I gotta be careful to use colors that don’t catch my eye (so like neutral colors or soft colors). I’ve got a bad habit of biting them so I’ve learned out of sight out of mind kind of thing works best for me. So a neutral color that blends in helps me forget I have nails but when I do accidentally glance at them I don’t get fixated on all the tiny little details of my nails, and I only have a passing thought of “yay pretty nails”

Ben:pink or pastels Me:*Wearing pastel pink nails*

I do have to say, using products across brands, is actually where you run into issues due to differences in formula. Like a Holo Taco base and top coat with a boring creme from a different brand in the middle may not last as long as if all 3 polishes were specifically Holo Taco's formula.

Maybe a pastel spring/Easter collection as basecoat?

No ads? Come on, girl! You deserve the revenue!

just noticed Ben repping the Ottawa Senators. I've been getting into a hockey recently and would love to have a segment from Ben talking about hockey and the teams he likes and the state of current playoff teams

I think it would be cool if Christine came out with a line that the colors are really rare. So it would kinda be like Gucci but for color if that makes sense. ( Like Vantablack, Fulvous, Glaucous, Xanadu, and coquelicot) also not saying doing another black but just colors that you don’t usually see people make or wear.

Is Christine's Partner also a business partner in Holotaco? He refers to it as "our brand"?

I really want Holo Taco nudes!! Especially in nude shades that are hard to find. I love doing funky French nails that are neon colors on the top with a nude base and a topper ✨✨

I really think that Holo Taco would benefit from making cremes, but I'm also not a businessman lol

I don't actually own any beige or light pink cremes. I always mean to buy one and just... always buy something more exciting instead.

i actually don't have any "boring" nail polish since i only own holo taco polish.... lol!
