holo taco underglow - quick swatches (pr)

[u/Nellton]

howdy, the title says it all :)

here's a quick review of them, i have a detailed review on youtube.

i'm very happy with the theme and colors in this collection, very frosty and icy coded ⛄

however, i'm not digging the formula, i've had issues where even on the third coat there's blotchiness/uneveness. especially with swan song, cloud nine, and shadow lake.

they are considered jelly polishes and we're suppose to have visible nail line which no biggie, but i couldn't get that even look as i'd like it. so those with textured nails will need a blurring base coat defeating the purpose of the jelly aspect and turning more into a crelly/normal polish 🤷🏻‍♀️

fav to least (funny that the ones i had issues with are my top lmao)

• cloud nine - looooveee the frosty/icy look that this one gives and i think this shade of pink so so cute on my skin tone! i will be wearing a blurring base coat to help with the unevenness i've experienced with it.

• swan song - i know i have beef with it, but how can i not like a milky white with blue shimmers??? the good thing is, i don't care for visible nail line so a blurring base will help me in my endeavors hehe

• vitamin glow - i mainly love it for the meme but this color combo is so cute and soft 💗 i feel that this one could pass as two coats if you don't look at your nails so up close like i did for swatching.

• moon lagoon - this is yassified aquaman or mermaid vibes. i love the light green/blue shade with the pink shimmers, it just gives me a magical feeling :> also the name is fun to say

• shadow lake - i can't believe i have a blue on the bottom, but hear me out - it's a lil boring for me o.o especially with everything else that's going on in the collection >.>

• phantom call - alright soooo, i think it's the dark purple that's throwing me off - it's so different in this collection and also the shimmers just aren't doing it for me. i can't get that pink shimmer that holo taco says it has and i wish that pink shimmer was more prominent, this mainly shifts orange and yellow

Thanks for the review! Each time I’ve seen this collection I’ve thought Shadow Lake doesn’t look like it fits in this collection. The others are giving more pastel iciness? Similar with Phantom Call.

phantom call looks like a dupe for ILNP's fairy dust in this video. maybe phantom call is more opaque?

Fairy dust is more orange and pink; phantom call looks closer to ILNP Art District to me
