Holo Taco Birthstone Collection- July and August

Hello everyone! This week on the blog we will be taking a look at the next two polishes from the Holo Taco Birthstone Collection, July and August. 

July's polish is Ruby, Madly, Deeply this is described as a jelly base, ruby red, with holographic glitter. 

This polish formula was good it was a little thick and still took three coats to be opaque for me. 

This polish did represent the July birthstone well, this polish is so beautiful I do really like red polishes, I fell like red polish can look good on anyone. This polish will be great for the up and coming Christmas Holiday.

Holo Taco- Ruby, Madly, Deeply $14USD (when in stock) 

August's polish is Peridon't Bother Me is decried as a lime green shimmer with a yellow green shift along with green reflective glitter. When I look at the bottle I see a slight blue shift on the sides, I don't see this on the nails, also in the bottle I feel like you can see the reflective glitter more then on the nail, on the nails the reflective glitter is more subtle.

This polish applied well in three coats, it was a little sheer on the first coat it did build up in three. In the photo on my thumb it loos a little sheer due to me not applying enough polish there. This polish seems like it is glowing on the nails, in the photo above when I have the light hit it looks so beautiful.

As for a good match with the birthstone, peridot is my birthstone (I was born in August) this is a great match for the August birthstone. This polish is so beautiful, usually I don't really care for green polishes but this one I do really like, Holo Taco did a good job on this. This polish will also make a great Christmas Holiday polish. I also like the name of this polish as well. 

Holo Taco- Peridon't Bother Me $14USD (when in stock) 

That is all for this week, hope you enjoyed July and August, those are my favorite months (yes I am biased in a good way because July is when I got married and August is my birthday month.)😊

For next week will be taking a look at September and October.

See you next time for more nail fun! 

Holo Taco- Birthstone Collection- May and June

Hello everyone! Today on the blog we have two polishes from the Holo Taco Birthstone Collection May and June. So far we have taken a look at January, February, March, and April. If you have not taken a look that the last couple of post don't forget to take a look a thoughts as well. 

Let's take a look at May and June's polishes.

May is Emerald City this is described as an emerald green jelly with iridescent flakes and scattered holo glitter. 

This polish formula was good it was a little on the thick side and it did take three coats to be opaque for me. 

This polish does represent the May birthstone well. 

Holo Taco- Emerald City $14USD (when in stock) 

June is The Price Is Alexandrite is a mutlichrome that shifts from teal to purple, and has metallic flakes along with some scattered holo. In the photo's above this polish has a strong green shift to it (this is not close to the light), also the photo above that shows a more purple is closes to the light. 

This polish applied well in two coats and had a good formula. 

As for being a good match with the birthstone, I found out/ looked up the June birthstone and there is actually three different stone for this month. My dad's birthday was is in June and I always thought the birthstone was a pearl, but I was wrong. Cristine decided to create a polish on the Alexandrine version and it does represent the stone well. 

Holo Taco The Price Is Alexandrite $14USD (when in stock)

That is all for this week, for next week we will be taking a look a July and August. Then we only have September, October, November, and December, four more polishes, so three more post and then my final thoughts on the collection.

Hope all of you enjoyed this birthstone post!

See you next time for more nail fun!

Holo Taco- Birthstone Collection- March and April

Hello everyone! Today on the blog we will be taking a look at the next two polishes from the Holo Taco Birthstone collection; March and April. As stated in the last post I will be going over 2 polishes from the 12 piece collection one week at a time, because I like to enjoy wearing my polishes for a week. I will wear one of the birthstones on my right and a the other on my left hand. Anyways let take a look at the next two polishes. 

March is Happily Ever Aqua this is described as an aquamarine linear holo polish with a cyan shimmer. 

This polish has a good formula and is opaque in two coats. 

This polish does resemble this birthstone, the light blue aquamarine color is shown well in this polish. This is also my hubby's birthstone. 😊

Holo Taco- Happily Ever Aqua $14USD (when in stock)

April is Ride Or Diamond this is described as a silver diamond looking polish, that has a lot of different types of holo in it linear, flakes, glitter, and reflective glitter as well. 

This polish had a good formula it did take three thin coat to be opaque, it was a little on the thicker side due to all of the glitter in it. 

This polish was a perfect match for the April birthstone. This polish is so beautiful it does actually look like diamond on the nails. So far I would say this is one of my favorites. Also I do really like how the photos turned out the depth of field and shallow depth of field made the holo really stand out. 😃

Holo Taco- Ride Or Diamond $14USD (when in stock) 

That is all for this week, for next week we will be taking a look at May and June's birthstone polish.

Hope all or you are enjoying this birthstone post! 

See you next time for more nail fun! 

Holo Taco Birthstone Collection- January and February

Hello everyone! Today on the blog we will start to take a look at the newest collection from Holo Taco the Birthstone Collection. I will start this blog off by telling all of you that this collection as of typing this is unavailable for now sold out (it sold out the day of the launch), Cristine did say that she would restock some of the polishes too. This is one of Holo Taco's largest collections, there is 12 polishes in this collection and they are all based on all 12 birthstone of the year. 

With every collection/ polish that I review I like to wear my polish for a week to enjoy it and I do this blog for fun, so for this collection I will wear two polishes at a time, one on my right and the other on my left, it will take a while to review only 2 at a time, but I want to enjoy these polishes.

All 12 of the Birthstone polishes staring with January- December.  

Here are the polishes in their box/ carton. This collection did not come in a special collectors box unsure why Cristine/ Holo Taco decided not to, maybe because this collection was so big?

A closer look at the box.

Let's take a look the first two polishes; January and February.

For these two polishes I did use the Holo Taco base and top coat. 

January we have Gosh Garnet is described as a burgundy, bronzed- red polish with a shimmer shift. In the photo above and on my nails this polish looks brown with a red shift/ shimmer in it.

This polish took two coats to be opaque and had good formula. 

As for looking like the birthstone, I always thought and even looked up this birthstone, that January was more of a red, and this polish is very brown looking with a red shift. This one I am a little confused why Holo taco chose this for January. 

Holo Taco- Gosh Garnet $14.00USD (when in stock) 

February is Crystal Mommy is described as amethyst inspired purple polish with crushed holo, and a micro pink shimmer. 

This polish took three coats to be opaque and had a good formula as well.

This polish does resemble the February birthstone amethyst and is very pretty with the holo in it.    

Holo Taco- Crystal Mommy $14USD (when in stock) 

That is all for this week, next week we will take a look March and April. I will be including links to the polishes if/ when they become available and you like them you can purchase them you self.

See you next time for more nail polish fun! 

Justin Timberlake- The Forget Tomorrow Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today on the blog we will be creating a nail design for the Justin Timberlake concert. I am a big Justin fan I have loved him since he was in Nsync and still continue to love him/ his music since he went solo. I created this design based on his albums and thought it would be great to have on my nails for the concert. I have seen him two times already in concert and was set to see him again October 25 for the third time. Unfortunately he got sick a few days before the concert and had to postpone the show until February 20. 😩 I am still going to go of course, I got really great seats on the floor this is the closest that I have been, so I am still excited but a little sad that he had to postpone because he is sick. 😕 Anyways I already did my nails and figured I would still share the design now. 

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this JT design:

Top and Base coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat. 

Polishes- Zoya- Twinkling- Jen, Holo Taco- Gift Receipt- Metallic Foil Collection, Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Hard to get, Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Black Heart, Finger paints- Tiffany Imposter, Sinful Colors- HD Nails, Orly- Cesium The Day- Melting Point, and Kiss nail art striper- Silver. 

Acrylic- Black, white, green, and brown.

Nail art tools- medium dotting tool, thin stripping and liner brush.

Apply and base coat, then let that dry.

Polishes- 

Thumb- shimmery blue 

Index- silver 

Middle- black cream

Ring- light blue 

Pinky- yellow

Let that dry. 

For this JT design we will be basing it off of his albums; Justified, FutureSex/ LoveSounds, 20/20 Experience (their was 2 albums), Man Of The Woods, Everything I Thought It Was. 

1st Album Justified: 

We will first start off with first album Justified, I made a heart with his initials on a blue background, this is what the CD looks like kind of, minus the heart, blue background and sliver for the letters. 

For the design first take a striper brush with white paint on it, to make an outline. First make a long line on the middle of the nail for the JT then make an up case J and a lower case t. Then make a heart outline around JT. 

Once you have the outline, then take a sliver stripper nail polish and go over that white outline. 

2nd Album FutureSex/ LoveSounds:

For this design I based this design off the disco ball that Justin is kicking on the album cover. 

For the disco ball this is the most simple nail. All you need to do is take a striper brush with black paint on it and make a checker board like pattern, two lines going vertical and three going horizontal. 

3rd and 4th Album 20/20 Experience:  

For this design this is based on his sound suite and tie and then I just pained 20/20 on the side for the album name.

For the suite take your striper brush with black paint on it and make a V shape near the tip of then nail, then with black polish fill in the area. 

For the buttons take a medium size dotting tool and make three dots down the middle of the nail.

Lastly the bow tie, on the last dot that you made near the cuticle make two triangle like shapes on both sides and fill that in.

An optional part is the 20/ 20 on the left side of the nail, this is hard to do but I just wanted to challenge myself, it is not perfect and that is ok. For the 20/20 take a striper brush with white paint on it and paint 20/ and under that 20.   

5th Album Man of the Woods:

This one I was literal with I just made a small forest/ woods with three pine trees for man of the woods. 

This design we will just create three pine trees a full one and two half trees on the side. Take a small liner brush with green paint on it and make three arrow like shapes on top of each other. then repeat this step on the sides off the nails but only half a tree. Then for the tree stump take your liner brush with brown paint on it, and just make a thick line under your trees. 

For the grass make a green French tip.

6th Album Everything I Thought It Was:

Justin last album to date Everything I Thought It Was, this one I based off of the inside of the CD and just the first letter of each part of the name. 

For the last nail take a thin stripper brush and make the letters EITIW going side ways on the nail. This was another hard one to paint, it also didn't help that I did this on the smallest nail.

Once your nails are concert ready apply a top coat to seal in your nails and to help them last.

Here is the practice version 

Due to the concert being postpone until February 😕 I have decided that I am going to recreate this design and change up a few things and see if I can improve on this design. 

Hope all of enjoyed this Justin Timberlake design, if you are a big fan of him just like I am!

See you next time for more nail fun!
