Holo Taco- Magnetic Magic Collection Update

Hello everyone! Today on the blog we will be doing an update on the Holo Taco Magnetic polishes. Back in December we took a look at the newest collection from Holo Taco the Magnetic  Magic collection. I had said that I did have a little bit of trouble with the blue polish Twice In A Blue Moon and the purple polish Queen's Curse. So I wanted to give all of the polishes another go, I polishes all five of the polishes on all my nails and I wanted to see if maybe I could get better results.

The first time around I polish the blue and purple on the nails with two coats to give opacity, then on the third coat I applied the polish and hovered the magnet over the nail, and I felt like that did not work to well, so I tried what it said on the Holo Taco website/ YouTube channel. 

On the Holo Taco Website/ YouTube channel, Cristine says the best way to get the magnetic effect to work is to place the magnetic under the nail for each nail and then polish, then hold for 60 seconds, and to do three coats. This is suppose to give the cat eye effect.

This time around for the blue and purple, I did so and I still feel like it did not give the effect. It did give some kind of effect, like the first time, just not the cat eye look.  

The green Wicked Potion and the pink Love Spell where the two polish that showed the magnetic effect the best. Along with the brown polish Fairy Tail. By far the pink and green polishes showed the magnetic effect the best. 

In conclusion I still stand by original review, if you have not checked that out here is the link holo-taco-magnetic-magic-collection. I still really like these polishes, personal even the second time around had a little trouble getting the polish to show up the way Cristine did. I still did get a good magnetic effect for the green Wicked Potion and the pink Love Spell and a pretty good one with the brown Fairy Tail. Maybe the green, pink, and brown and a little more magnetic pigment in it so maybe that is why it did a little better, I am unsure. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this update!

See you next time for more nail fun! 

Let it Snow- Winter Nail Design

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a good start to the new year, unfortunately I was sick for the first start of the year, but now I am feeling much better. Anyways today we will be creating a pretty winter themed nail design, using one of the Holo Taco magnetic polishes, two of the holo toppers and a glitter polish. 

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

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

Polishes- Holo Taco- Twice in a Blue Moon- Magnetic Magic Collection, LA Colors- Diamond Crush- Cloud 9, Holo Taco- Flakie, and Holo Taco- Scattered.

Acrylic paint- White.

Other- makeup sponge. 

Nail art tools- Small dotting tool and a thin stripper brush. 

Apply a base coat to clean dry nails.

Let that dry.

Polish- 

Thumb, middle, and ring finger nail- Shimmer Blue Polish (Holo Taco- Twice in a Blue Moon)

Index and pinky finger nail- A light blue glitter polish, with a scatter holo topper (LA Colors- Diamond Crush- Cloud 9, and Hold Taco scattered.) 

For the Holo Taco Polish Twice in a Blue Moon, this is a magnetic polish and I did do the magnetic part, it is just hard to tell, I still couldn't get it to show up as well. 

On our index and pinky nails, we will just leave this with just the light blue glitter and a scatter holo topper to add more or a shine to this design.

Let that dry.

First we will make a simple snowflake design on our middle and ring finger nails, with a glitter gradient. 

First we will do the glitter gradient, this will also include the thumb nail. I first polish just a little on the tip of the nail, then I take a makeup sponge, polish a little on the sponge, then dab the sponge on to the tip of the nails, lastly I polish a little more on the tip of the nails where I want just a little more glitter. 

Let that dry.

Now on to the snowflake. Take a thin stripper brush with white paint on it and make a cross shape, then an X shape through that. Do this two time on the nail for your snowflake shapes.

For smaller snowflake, we will just make a few small dots with a small dotting tool. 

Lastly we will create the larger snowflake on the thumb nail, once again take your large stripper brush with white paint on and make a cross shape, then an X shape over that, then make two lines/ arrow shape on each line on the cross shape, then make two lines/ arrow shape on the X shape. Lastly on the space between the snowflake make some small lines. 

Also once again for the small snowflakes take a small dotting tool with white paint on it and make small dots around the nail.

Once you nails are ready for the winter weather, apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it to last.

Hope all of you enjoyed this winter nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun!
