- Hey friends!
Today we’re brewing over these NEW Holo Barista Bundle from Holo Taco! These 5 polishes are part of their new Crushed Holographic line, which we saw previously with the shade Highest Bidder from the Gala Collection. These neutrals offer a much more subtle holographic effect compared to a typical linear, scattered or microglitter holo formula, but they still sparkle so beautifully 🤩 Make sure you’re following me on Instagram because I’ll be sharing more of these in my reels/post/stories!
You can shop these shades at www.holotaco.com ✨
I received this collection in PR, but all thoughts & opinions are honest & my own :)

I honestly think this is my favorite formula from holo taco so far. Linear can sometimes be too harsh for me, so I much prefer the softness of scattered holo. Plus I love a good neutral shade, so this whole collection was an instant buy!
yay so happy to hear that!! I kind of feel the same about linear holos, I think they’re beautiful but don’t tend to wear them often 😅 I definitely love/prefer a more subtle sparkle like this! & yes the neutral range of these is just so beautiful. You’re going to love them!!
I have been waffling on the darkest one in this set. I love tans and browns, so I am psyched abt this collection!
I’m even more excited to get my bundle after seeing your beautiful swatches. The crushed holo formula looks beautiful.
oh thank you so much!! I’m sure you’ll absolutely love them 🥰✨ which one do you think you’ll wear first?
@@PolishedYogi oat couture is calling to me. 😍
Interestingly enough, I’ve never been a huge fan of linear holos because I prefer chunky glitters/flakies/scattered holo a lot more, so I vibe with this collection. I’m just not in a rush to get it yet since I don’t wear browns a whole lot haha. The comparisons were super helpful tho!!
I get you! I’m glad these are right up your alley, and also v glad they’re not LE so you can snag them later on 🤎 thanks so much!!
Love them all!❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much for the comparisons!
yay happy to hear that! & thank youu! 😁
I love the Formula of "Highest Bidder" and I'm over the Moon that these beautiful Polishes are in the same Formula.
yay so happy you love these! i’m sure more people will come around once more colors are released haha
Thank you! You got all my swatch comparisons answered and I appreciate it.
yay I’m so happy to hear that! 😁 thanks so much for watching!!
Your comparisons were super helpful, I definitely notice the difference now. I love the lightest color and all I was thinking about is play rose but now I see the difference, thank you!!!
aw thank you Diana! I really appreciate that 🥰 I didn’t even have anything similar in my collection to Oat Couture, but yes Play Rose is definitely much deeper than that one too!!
I was so glad to see you reviewed this. I have many of the shades you compare with the coffee set and was wondering how similar they may be. This answered that for me - thank so much!
aw thank you so much, I’m so glad this was helpful! ☺️ did you decide to grab any of the new ones?
@@PolishedYogi Yes ma'am, I bought the whole set! Looking forward to wearing the skittles mani. 😀
I'm thrilled that this collection exists, because having a wide range of neutrals to suit a variety of skin tones is objectively good.
But I don't wear brown. I have choco holo and peach tea and magical moustache and burnt bridges already and I'm already not wearing them hardly ever. It's the first release in a while that I've sat out.
I agree! Even though it’s just 5 polishes they definitely got a wide range which I appreciate, though probably not intentional since they’re focus was on coffee lol :) and that’s totally ok to sit these out! I feel like it’s so easy to feel the pressure to buy just because its new, but yeah sometimes we have to take a step back 😅
Thank you so much for the comparisons! I'm still on the fence on getting the whole bundle or just picking out some and then adding some other shades to my cart, but this is still helpful!
you’re so welcome! 🥰 I know exactly what you mean haha I would feel the same way where I’d want to just add them all to my cart even though I love some more than others 😅 I’m sure you’ll love whatever you decide to get, and luckily theres no rush since these aren’t LE! ✨
linear holo will always be my true love ❤️ i’ve always been obsessed with the glitter formula through pictures but the difficulty to apply them makes me hardly reach for them when i want to paint my nails. Im super interested in how this formula will look in person. Thank you for the wonderful comparisons!
linear holos are SO gorgeous! and yes the microglitter formula is definitely a pain, especially with a skinny brush 😅 this formula applies like a linear (just not as opaque) but definitely lacks that in your face rainbow, but its still very pretty!! I’m glad you found my comparisons helpful 🥰
I love it !! I ordered mine already ❤
woohoo!! 🥳 do you have a favorite??
I have been waiting for not only neutral holos, but also the crushed holo formula so I can't wait to get my bundle and play!
yayyy so excited for you!! these are soo beautiful 🤩
Oh my gosh, a gift for those of us who like something subtler than the linear holo! I'm also a huge sucker for neutrals in a special finish, so these are right up my alley!!! I kinda wish I'd held onto my Holo Taco gift card until this collection released, but it's not like I knew to wait 2 extra months after Black Friday, haha. Thank you so much for the swatches and comparisons!
yes aren’t these soo beautiful and subtle?! I think they really nailed this collection between the finish and the shade range, i’m so glad to hear you’re loving these! omg yes total bummer but right, how would you know 😭 I’m so glad these aren’t LE so you can just grab them whenever :) thanks so much for watching & commenting Sharon!! 🤗
I haven't tried Holo Taco nail polishes yet, but now I really want to get my hands on some!
they’re really nice! I love their range of finishes, it feels like they have something for everyone so I hope you get to try them soon! 💗
I’m wearing Blushed Ice. So gorgeous. It’s the first time I’m wearing this. It looks tan on me with a touch of peachiness.
so pretty! ✨
I love the crushed holo formula, especially with Reflective Taco on top! I’m not normally super into neutrals or browns, but I really liked that these are neutral without being boring. I do wish they came with the wide brush but I don’t really mind since I can buy that separately (even though I know that annoys a lot of people). Thanks for the all the comparisons!! Swatch videos with comparisons are always my favorite :)
ooo reflective taco over these sounds so mesmerizing 🤩🤩 i’m glad that you don’t think these are boring hehe I know most people see neutrals and just lose interest so fast 😅 just in case you don’t know, you can buy replacement brushes (without the caps, so you can keep the holo taco caps) from KBShimmer for 15¢ a piece! definitely recommend especially if you’re buying in bulk :) but thanks so much for watching, i’m glad you found the comparisons helpful! 😁
Loved the video Bestie. Thank you for comparing to the mooncat brown holo yeah they’re very different 😍🫶🏽🤎
thank youuu bestie!! 🤎✨
It is so pretty on you. I can’t wait to get it home
aw thank you so much! Hopefully you get them soon ✨
@@PolishedYogi thank you. Just got the notice it is sent. I am literally jumping out of my skin right now w anticipation. And not a neutral gal but these are delectable.
I love the crushed Holo formula, and I’m digging all of these shades!!! Can’t wait to get them. I also thought your least favorite shade looked really nice on you ❤
yay glad you’re loving these!! I know you’re gonna enjoy them ☺️ and aw thank you!! it’s growing on me especially since I’m wearing it with the others as a skittle haha I’ll have to give it a proper second chance in the fall! 🍂
THE BEST FORMULA. Would love for it to be in a 7 polish rainbow range collection. AMAZING
i would love that too!! 🌈✨
@@PolishedYogi wearing Full Charge now from HT! 💚💚💚💚
I like thd lightest and the darkest shades!
yess love those 2 !!
Thank you for the comparison to Play Rose! It's super helpful in making my purchase decision.
yay of course!! I’m so happy to hear that 😁 what did you end up going with?
@@PolishedYogi Definitely the whole bundle once my budget is updated 🤩
Fantastic stuff
🥰💖
Reminds me of the Essie neutral Holo collection I have 2 of them very pretty .
i’ve seen some people mention that! I forgot about that collection, and how pretty it is, I wish I had picked some up 🤩
This is a beautiful collection and so are you btw :)
aw thank you so much!! you’re so sweet ☺️ so glad to hear you like the collection too!
Yay, more swatches already! I like the new crushed holo, it's similar to Picture Polish's popular holo formula. I prefer it to linear and glitter because I don't go outside much and glitter is so annoying to remove (peely pops off too fast and I'm too impatient to soak), but I still want some holo sparkle.
I'm surprised there isn't a "Crushed Holo Taco" since that would be more in the spirit of this brand, but maybe the formula isn't easy to perfect or it doesn't provide the same effect as the pre-blended formula.
😁 ooh I haven’t tried Picture Polish but I know exactly what you’re talking about! yes these are such a great alternative for having sparkly nails without the headache of removing glitter!
& hmm, I think if they had a Crushed Holo Taco it would basically be like a more densely packed Flakie Taco if that makes sense? I do think it’s more of the latter; these polishes have an almost crelly opacity which helps with making the flakes look blended into the base vs just sitting on top. I would be curious to see if they do anything more with this formula though!
I put a top coat under my peely and it makes them last for days and taking them off is way easier than a non-peely base.
However, depending on how thick the layers are or the formula, there might still be some minor soaking, but my removal is usually under 10 minutes even with the the thick layers/minor soaking. (Specifics, if you are wondering, Holo Taco's peely on top of Pacifica's Prime&Harder breathable top&base coat.) It's the only way I wear polished anymore since there is usually no chipping (just cuticle and tip wear,) it makes removal waaaay easier with less clean up (usually,) and my nails don't feel suffocated by the peely. Plus, my nails on average with the t&b under the peely lasts for like 3-5 days.
ALSO, I found Wal-Mart's Onyx Professional Soak Off REALLY works! I was needing to change my polish the other day when shopping, so I decided to swatch some polishes on my old polish to test for opacity while checking out some glitters. I grabbed the polishes I wanted with some remover and when I went home to take off my polish, it came off like butter with little to no rubbing, including the glitter bits! Granted, I didn't do full nail of glitter with a full layer of packed on glitter, but the nails that had the glitter on them was actually easier to remove than the nails without, so take what you will! PS, I had some minor staining on my thumb by a rouge mishap of a previous removal that happened MONTHS ago (the polish came off, but there was still some on the cotton pad which when going back over, marked up my nail) and the Soak Off got rid of it and I didn't need to soak it off!
I’ve started putting a strip of peely base coat down the center of my nails and then regular base coat, but I also have problems with peely staying on my nails. Regular base coat normally pops off my nails after 5 or 6 days so I kind of have no chance with peely 😂
So glad to see this right after the bundle came out! Unfortunately on 4 installment payments on 3-4 orders already, so I’m trying to keep track of those before heading myself to get these cus of not having a collector’s box. 😌
omg that definitely sounds like a lot to keep track of! 🙈 but yes even though some might sell out, i’m sure you won’t have to wait long for a restock!
Thank you for the swatches, they all look so pretty !!! ☕🤎
of course, thanks so much for watching 🥰 & glad you love the look of these too! 🤎
The skittle mani 😍😍
sooo pretty right?!
Ooh really appreciated those comparisons. My only issue is that I don’t wear brown often, but those two medium browns are still calling to me😅
yay tysm! and oh I hear you haha, at least these are gonna be around so you can always grab them later on, maybe in the fall! 🍂✨
I loved this formula with Highest Bidder, and I love brown polishes. Can’t wait to get these, but I’m on a no buy. I appreciate that they aren’t LE so I can pick them up later in the year.
glad these are so up your alley! they’ll be stunning for later this year too!! 🍂✨
I don't wear neutrals on my hands that often but I'm considering picking up Oat Couture for pedicures this summer. I have Highest Bidder but I never wear it because it just looks like dull concrete, hopefully I will like that formula more in the oatmeal shade.
oh that would be so cute as a pedi color! it’s like sparkling sand. and aw yeah I was really intrigued by Highest Bidder but didn’t really love the color. let me know if you end up grabbing Oat Couture and how you like it! :)
I love them all!
Hey! Where can I get a kitty mug like yours???
so glad to hear that! and I don’t remember what store I got mine from, but Im pretty sure you can find it on amazon!! 😊
I have ti say that I really love these all on you! I don’t see some of them not suiting your skin tone! I’m so tempted….
aw thank you!! yeah maybe it’s just personal preference vs not actually suiting my skin tone haha 🙈 let me know if you end up grabbing them!
Love love love the first 3! 😍 I picked those ones up. I’m with you on Need I Say Mocha? That one had way to much yellow in it for my liking. I am kicking myself for not picking up Espresso Your Holo. But I have Burnt Bridges…so I wonder how close those would be.
yay you’re going to love them Janet!! Yeah at first I thought they had added gold shimmer or something to Need I Say Mocha bc it looked so yellow to me 😅 I think Burnt Bridges is pretty similar to Mooncat’s Boa Constrictor, I don’t quite remember which is darker, but iirc Burnt Bridges isn’t as deep as Espresso Your Holo. I’ll see if my friend can compare them so I can share to my stories!
That’s funny, need I say mocha is the only one I’m considering buying bc the rest are way too cool toned for my liking 😂
Comparisons are soo helpful! I'm wondering if this crushed holo is similar to BKLs lions formula but not shimmer hmm
Now you have me curious so I just checked some swatches…. The base color of Highest Bidder is definitely less metallic than the BLK lion siblings I have, but very similar holo distributions. Also similar to the Rogue winter prisms polishes if you’re familiar with those. All beautiful for sure!
i sadly don’t have any of the BKL lion formulas to compare but I think they are similar with the irregular holo flakies, i would just say theres way more in the HT formula! and maybe they’re a touch smaller too.
We have the same cup’s!!! Mine is a black cat one though 😸
omg i love that bc i have a black one too!! I mainly use it during spooky season lol 🐱🖤
Nice!
thanks so much!
I really love the look of the crushed holo formula, but I'm not really a neutral nail polish kind of person. However I know people have been asking for neutrals like this, and using this formula over a basic creme was definitely a smart choice. If I were to choose which ones I like - Oat, Cappuccino, and Espresso are ones I would maybe give a try one day. I think because they are cooler tones while Blushed and Mocha are warm. But I really hope they are planning to release vibrant shades in the crushed holo formula!
aw yeah I totally get you, I’ve seen a few others say the same thing where they either like the formula but not the shades or vice versa (or not liking both lol). I’m curious though, what shades would you like to see in this formula? I feel like deeper jewel tones would be SO beautiful! and yes I loved those 3 too! Though I think I would call Holo Cappuccino more of a warm than cool shade.. maybe its neutral haha. but yes so excited to see what they’ll come out with next!
@@PolishedYogi Yes, I'm with you on the jewel tones! Would be so pretty. And you are probably right about Holo Cappuccino, sometimes its hard to see those tones on a computer screen, plus lighting as you showed can influence how it looks. As long as it doesn't lean yellow or green, I would say I would like the colour.
Yellow-leaning browns (or really, any yellow-undertone polish) just don't look great on me. But I recently bought Orly Glowstick, the neon yellow, and it looks great -- so cheerful and bright! I don't know what the difference is, maybe when they mix yellow with a different color base. But apparently just plain yellow works for some reason. By the way, I'm enjoying my mid-winter shades that I picked out for my winter polish rack, but ugh... I can't wait for summer weather and colors!!!
totally feel the same! usually hate yellow undertones but love yellow polish lol. Oh I don’t have Orly Glowstick but yes maybe the color alone being so cheery makes you like it haha. and I’m with you, Im getting a few more spring collections in and I’m so excited for the bright colors and of courseee the warmer weather! ☀️🌷
I love every shade of this collection! These browns are so classy! I think I need to disagree with you this time, Stefanie! I really do think these shades look great on you! Of course, that could be the way my iPad interprets color! We all know what a pain that can be sometimes! But, all in all, great collection and the holo is amazing. Way to go Holo Taco!!!♥️🤎
hi Susan!! 💗 so happy to hear you’re loving this collection, I agree theyre sooo classy!! and aw you’re so sweet, haha yeah it could also be that i’ve been staring too long at these shades! 😝 definitely excited to see them release more beautiful shades in this formula!
The skittle helped see the differences
glad i could help 😊
They’re all nice but I’m not super crazy about them to be honest. Espresso Your Holo might be my favorite but the darker ones also just remind me of chocolate lol. Also, I appreciate you talking more at length in your intros and outros. So many people on UA-cam heavily edit when they’re talking or you can tell when they’re only trying to say one sentence at a time before a cut. It’s very refreshing to see you not having to rely on edits every other second!
:0 aw yeah i’m not surprised Espresso Your Holo is your favorite at least hehe. and thank you so much! I’m not a fan of so many. cuts. in the middle. of a sentence lol but at the same time I get wanting to cut out awkward pauses or whatever 😅
Whatt I like Choco holo and I don't see yellow in the new one
ooh really? It seemed so obvious to me 😅 but choco-holo is gorgeous, I just didn’t love it on me 🥲
You look like one of my favorite singers Fiona Apple
aw you’re too sweet! thank you :)
I’m just waiting for Cristine to show up in the chat like:
“DoN’t DrInK tHe NaiL PoLiSh!”
loll yes always gotta add the disclaimer to NOT actually drink nail polish 🤣
@@PolishedYogi yea lol sorry I haven’t got around to listening to the video with sound yet 😅 (didn’t bring headphones out with me today).
I just saw the thumbnail and I was like “oh no Cristine would be saying don’t eat/drink the nail polish!”
I was super disappointed when I found out these weren’t linear holo! It’s a total skip for me 😬 but now I’m adding mooncat’s boa constrictor to my list
aw yeah I saw a lot of people say that too when they found out about the formula! 😅 linear holo lovers sure are loyal hehe, do you like scattered holo at all? also yess that one is gorgeous!! 🤎
I am def loyal to linear lol 😅 scattered holo not so much, unless it’s a topper!!
Check out ILNP or Colorés de Carol for some nude linears!
@@mmay9082 ooh thanks for the suggestion! After watching some of simply’s stream last night I saw that peach tea is a good linear match of blushed ice so I will def be getting that at some point (it was already on my list) but those ILNP shades look really nice :)
