Your Secret Society dupe looked spot on to me. I was shocked that your fiance was able to see the difference. p.s. menchie cat eye is on the HT website for 15 so your dupe is 19.93 instead which is still a lot but slightly better than 25.80
It was fun to watch you dupe them! Just an fyi, Menchie Cat Eye is available on the Holo Taco website. It won’t come in the the limited edition individual carton.
You've got me thinking about Gift Receipt again. After hemming and hawing for a few months, I had decided to pass on frosted metals altogether because of the potential for oxidation. But now, seeing the potential of simply slapping a jelly over it and completely changing the color, I think my mind is changed again lol Maybe Black Friday. Good job on this one!! 💅
Your secret society dupe was great!! I have some older polishes that I feel are very similar to this collection. China Glaze Midtown Magic to Inkwell, China Glaze Smoke and Ashes to Ivy League, China Glaze Prey Tell to Devil's Advocate, China Glaze Skyscraper to Silent Library, and Morgan Taylor Sweater Weather to Foreshadow.
I love these videos! I appreciate the work that you put into them. I’m from New Zealand and indie nail polish is almost impossible to get over here, so seeing how to layer and ‘Franken’ nail polishes to create the same effects as a coveted indie polish is just great fun.
*Inkwell*: >>China Glaze - Buffalo Bills, Bills, Bills >>Zoya - Tasha (it is a tad more cinnamon-y, but at least it can be easily acquired unlike the CG BBBB which is a major lemming!) *Secret Society*: >>China Glaze - Prize Winning Mare [also a bit of a lemming if I'm being honest] looks like the exact base, but it will need a topper to give it those "sprinkles" [thank you, Mister, for giving me a new word for polish!]...I'm thinking either Stars by Starrily or a light coat of Fairy Dust by China Glaze *Ivy League*: >>Morgan Taylor - Mistress Of Mayhem >>China Glaze - Hex Boyfriend **BUT** with a glossy top coat [it's naturally a matte finish otherwise] >>Lyn B Designs - Give Him Fur Black As Black (not quite as blackened, despite the name lol, but still a very deep green with a breathtaking shimmer) *Silent Library*: >>Morgan Taylor - Under The Stars looks like a match for the base but it's got holo glitter in addition to silver so the sparkle is a little different >>Zoya - Ibiza is close to that blackened blue base [really does look black in low lighting], but it's another one that would need a topper for the "sprinkles"...Tinsel by CG, All Nighter by Cirque, The Shake Up by Morgan Taylor, or even Kaleidoscope by Wet n' Wild are a few that have potential Also, since you've got those awesome LAC Sheer Jelly polishes now, if a pure silver topper is too shocking on its own, perhaps a single light coat of either Oasis or Wispy Blue over the silver topper?? Thanks for this video and this whole Dupe It series. I have such a massive collection that I forget just how many WOW polishes I already own + I'm learning that it's super fun to shop through my collection!! When you do your full review of these HT polishes, I hope you will put the swatches against these dupes you created here because I, for one, think you did a really great job!
I do have to admit, Ivy League is the only one I'm interested in from this collection (if I do get Ivy League, I might grab Inkwell for the Funsies:tm:, but that's an if), but I was worried that Salem by ILNP is basically the same polish and I do have Salem already. I'm a little glad it's not a perfect match 😅
Your man seeing a difference on the first dupe is the upset of the year WHAT. You were sooo close with that one! I can’t wait to see how your dupes actually compare once you get them in!
I think I'll wait for your swatch & review on this collection and see what you think of Inkwell. I initially loved it, after watching polished yogi review it I was like 'nah if it's that dark I don't want it' but I'm so indecisive I will absolutely get ivy league though, it's gorgeous! Also, how did your fiancé see a difference in the first polish, I could barely see one 🙈
Menchie Cat Eye, as well as Zyler Cat Eye, are both available on the Holo Taco website. They said that if people like them they might keep them as non-limited edition
I absolutely think the first two should’ve been 7 points! They were pretty darn close!!! 😃 Also I wonder if a coat of dark horse over black would’ve been closer? 👀👀
I love secret society but it reminds me of curfew crasher which I really regret buying. Am also going to franken mix my duct tape grey to get it close to the taupe of Overshadowed- no need to get another creme though i am tempted by head hunter and deviks advocate.😅
He could see the difference?!?! FFS! The audacity! Seriously though, Secret Society dupe was flawless! I thought about trying to dupe these out because they're the only 4 I was going to pick up. Then my dumb brain goes, well... It's only 4 polishes, so you should buy them.
I love these dupe videos! I’d love to see the actual bottles used for the winning shade, if it didn’t add too much more work, as these videos seem complicated to film as is. That way I could just match them up to what I have. Kind of a selfish reason😂🫣 Keep up the great work. I love the tomfoolery😆
The betrayal by your fiancé! Him being able to see the difference in the first dupe but not in the last one is the real tomfoolery here.
I can't..... like I need to know how he sees the world....it's a mystery.
That’s wild your fiancé couldn’t see the difference between Silent Library and your dupe but he could with the first one 😂
I'm crying why are his eyes like this?!?!

My jaw DROPPED, that dupe was so perfect!

Bane impersonation is spot on.
I love your dupe videos!
Ma'am you're making the most of your jellies! Giving me all the ideas for nail art. ❤ thank you! You're the best. 🎉 more mixing and designs, please.
I bought Secret Society and I thought your dupe was awesome!!!!! I'm hoping to buy Inkwell next.
7:28 This honestly surprised me 😂 I thought that was such a spot on dupe.
i really like your dupes 💖 excited to see the comparisons when you get the ht collection 🙂 and every time i hear broomstick i think katjaaaa lol

Yay! I love these videos! 😊
Ok your man is 100000% trolling you at this point!!! No way could he see the difference between your dupe and secret society. Nope nope nope.
I made him pinky promise to not tell me lies while doing this. so sadly it's all true. 😭

China Glaze Midtown Magic to Inkwell, China Glaze Smoke and Ashes to Ivy League, China Glaze Prey Tell to Devil's Advocate, China Glaze Skyscraper to Silent Library, and Morgan Taylor Sweater Weather to Foreshadow.
I thought you did very well. Secret Society was my favourite

*Inkwell*:
>>China Glaze - Buffalo Bills, Bills, Bills
>>Zoya - Tasha (it is a tad more cinnamon-y, but at least it can be easily acquired unlike the CG BBBB which is a major lemming!)
*Secret Society*:
>>China Glaze - Prize Winning Mare [also a bit of a lemming if I'm being honest] looks like the exact base, but it will need a topper to give it those "sprinkles" [thank you, Mister, for giving me a new word for polish!]...I'm thinking either Stars by Starrily or a light coat of Fairy Dust by China Glaze
*Ivy League*:
>>Morgan Taylor - Mistress Of Mayhem
>>China Glaze - Hex Boyfriend **BUT** with a glossy top coat [it's naturally a matte finish otherwise]
>>Lyn B Designs - Give Him Fur Black As Black (not quite as blackened, despite the name lol, but still a very deep green with a breathtaking shimmer)
*Silent Library*:
>>Morgan Taylor - Under The Stars looks like a match for the base but it's got holo glitter in addition to silver so the sparkle is a little different
>>Zoya - Ibiza is close to that blackened blue base [really does look black in low lighting], but it's another one that would need a topper for the "sprinkles"...Tinsel by CG, All Nighter by Cirque, The Shake Up by Morgan Taylor, or even Kaleidoscope by Wet n' Wild are a few that have potential
Also, since you've got those awesome LAC Sheer Jelly polishes now, if a pure silver topper is too shocking on its own, perhaps a single light coat of either Oasis or Wispy Blue over the silver topper??

Love this series! You did a pretty good job! I always get inspired to do more with my polishes when watching these.
I do have to admit, Ivy League is the only one I'm interested in from this collection (if I do get Ivy League, I might grab Inkwell for the Funsies:tm:, but that's an if), but I was worried that Salem by ILNP is basically the same polish and I do have Salem already.

I honestly think all of your attempts this time around are excellent dupes!

I have Paimon by Shleee Polish and I swear it's almost an exact dupe of Inkwell.
Menchie Cat Eye is available for $15 on Holo Taco’s website.
Great job on these I think! :)
They are "sprinkles" not "sparklies"
ikr?! man can't even get his own memes right....
I love secret society but it reminds me of curfew crasher which I really regret buying. Am also going to franken mix my duct tape grey to get it close to the taupe of Overshadowed- no need to get another creme though i am tempted by head hunter and deviks advocate.😅
Menchie Cat Eye is still available on the website 😝

if you put scattered holo taco over the first dupe, I bet your man can't see a difference to secret society
I'm sorry, but imma need you to do something to make that poor cat comfortable.
I love these dupe videos! I’d love to see the actual bottles used for the winning shade, if it didn’t add too much more work, as these videos seem complicated to film as is. That way I could just match them up to what I have. Kind of a selfish reason😂🫣 Keep up the great work. I love the tomfoolery😆
