Hello everyone! Today on the blog we will be taking a look at the recent release from Holo Taco for the Holiday's, their first advent calendar. This calendar has eight mini polishes and four nail accessories. In this post I will be showing what is inside this calendar. As for the eight polishes in this collection, I will just be showing them in the bottles for this post, later I will do a full review and swatches on my nails as always.
Lastly unfortunately this collection sold out very quickly, the day of launch it was all ready gone, I am unsure if Cristine/ Holo Taco will be re-releasing this collection, I have a feeling that they will not be re- releasing. I still wanted to do a review/ take a look at this collection.
Here is the outside of the collection box.
The back of the collection box.
Let's take a closer look at what is inside this Advent Calendar. Everything in this Advent Calendar is limited edition and can only be found in this collection.
For Day 1 we have a black scattered holographic glass nail fie. This is a full size item, that has a grit to it on both sides. Glass files are said to be more gentle on the nails and they last a very long time/ forever. I do have a glass nail file from Sally Hansen that I have had for years and it is still is perfectly fine. Holo Taco does have glass nail files on the website, this file is suppose to limited because of the color.
Day 3 a mini polish called Gold Scattered Holo Taco this is a clear topper with gold scattered holo glitter in it.
Day 4 a mini polish called Call Me Vixen this is a shimmery cranberry jelly, that also has scattered holo glitter in it.
Day 5 a mini polish called In A Flurry this is pale blue frosted metal that has scattered holo glitter in it.
Day 6 we have a nail sticker sheet, there is three sheets in the small envelope. There are both small and large stickers on these sheets. I have not tried the stickers yet so I can't say if they stick well or not. Cristine had said on her Youtube channel the best way to use these is to first let your nail dry completely, with twisters apply the sticker, then top coat the nails.
Day 7 is a clean up brush, this is another full size item. The brush is light weight and the small bristles are made of nylon. This is another item that is available on the website just in another color a black and multi chrome colored. I also have not used this brush yet, I am unsure how well it works. I love more of an angled brush, so we shall see.
Day 8 is a mini hand lotion 1 FLOZ/ 30mL. This lotion is peppermint scented with Jojoba oil in it. The scent is very light and it seems like a nice lotion that will keep your hand moisturized. At first I was unsure about the peppermint scent, it seems like it is very light and will not be strong so this is a plus, at lest for me.
That is the last of the accessories, now on to the mini polishes.
Day 9 is Pirouette Pink this is a light pink crushed holo polish.
Day 10 Wreath Havoc Taco this is a multi chrome foil flake topper.
Day 11 Ice Angel is an icy ivory linear holo polish.
Lastly Day 12 Diamond Dash Taco this is a holographic glitter topper that has different shape holo glitter in it such as diamond, and large and small hexagon glitter pieces.
As stated above this collection unfortunately sold out to fast, it still is on the Holo Taco website though so who knows? The price was $199 USD for the collection. Here is the link to the website just in case and if your would like to take a another look at the collection holo-taco-mini-advent-calendar
In conclusion do I think this collection was worth it and do I like this collection? I do really like the look and idea of this collection, all of the Holo Taco collection boxes are always very nice and well thought out. As of typing this blog I have only wore three of the eight polishes and I do like the ones that I have worn, the other polishes do look very pretty and I am sure I will enjoy them as well.
As for colors Cristine and said in her video that she was not going for the more traditional Christmas colors like red, green and gold. Which I think was just fine, I do feel that this collection does still have a holiday feel to it.
Do I feel like this collection was worth $199 plus tax? This collection was kind of pricey for what it is, I do understand that this is a lot that goes into making an Indie brand polish and Holo Taco has always been more of a pricey brand. I always say that if the polish is more unique then I will pay more for it. Plus the collection boxes are always a nice touch to the collection as a whole.
Well this post is getting kind of long, we will end this off right here and as stated above I will be doing another post showing all of the polishes on my nails and give my thoughts on the polishes.
Hope all of you enjoyed this post! Happy Holo/ Holiday day!
See you next time for more nail fun!
