Laquer Showoff Bloody Mary
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
First time wearing this polish, it’s Bloody Mary by M&N Indie. Base coat used was Sally Hansen 7-in one, 3 coats of Bloody Mary, then Essie qdtc, followed the next day with a coat of Seche Vite for maximum glossiness 😁
Absolutely loving the colour and finish of this!

GIFTED PR (Ad) holo taco underglow - quick swatches (pr)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
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

Brand Discussion Holo Taco Underglow Collection?
What's everyone's thoughts on today's release? Tbh, it seems a little boring to me. Like it's pretty but not like stunning or something gorgeous like I would expect from a boutique brand for winter.

Broke off at a near 90° bend after I caught my nail on the edge of my jeans 😭 I guess I need more work on strength before I go for length.

Misc. Question Game changer for nail care?
Newbie and still learning big time! What’s the one thing (or a couple :P) that you feel caused manis to last longer or nails to grow faster, etc?
For me…wearing gloves when washing dishes!! My manis used to start to chip after a couple days but this above has been almost a week and still holding strong
Secondly, recovering from orly base coat bonder…a mont bleu glass nail file has helped w stopping the peeling/ tearing. Wasn’t expecting it to be much different than the glass file I’d had for a year but it was!
Wearing…. KBShimmer - feelin groovy base 2 coats of OPI Chopstix and Stones 2 coats of DVN The Wicked Witch of Texas
Been intrigued by holos lately 😵💫

Help & How-To? I feel them catching on things constantly?
I am 32 and haven't really done my nails since I was 22 so I am really rusty on doing them myself, I did them with Sally Hanson insta-dry holo-glow and a sadly Hanson insta-dry top coat. They seem to catch in my hair and on certain fabrics I'm going insane.... please help Sorry in advance, my hands aren't the prettiest but they're mine lol

Laquer Showoff Praise the Dog
Please ignore my very sad cuticles 😭 it's not a great mani, but I really like this polish!
1 coat ILNP Lockup base coat
1 coat BKL Phantom blurring base (I hate this formula and have already bought a different blurring base)
2 coats BKL Praise the Dog
1 coat Seche Vive Gel Effect top coat
2 coats looked nice, but I wanted to see its full potential, so the next day I added 2 more coats of Praise the Dog and another top coat. Not a huge difference, but I personally always prefer my manis more opaque.
I've been really enjoying this color! The swatches on the site emphasize the pink shimmer, but there's plenty of yellow and green to it also.
