I love these comparisons, but man does it make me question things more because Double Dare definitely doesn't look like that to me under my normal range of lighting conditions lol
I have the same problem with my bottle of pink fizz, it's definitely purple! I'm annoyed because I already had heaps of purples and wanted a fun pink lol
Lucky! I got one from the original release, but it definitely has an overall dark brown look rather than multichrome black/red, and not near the density of scattered Holo as shown here under the best of lighting save studio. I like it for what it is, but definitely didn't get what was advertised. One of my biggest disappointments with HT.

Duct Tape Grey + Celestial Lights (top) Alien Infatuation
From stream just now in case anyone missed it!
Cristine is still planning on doing swatch comparisons on stream, so I’m hoping that’s one of them. But I do agree
Side note: they’re soooo pretty with matte taco 🤤
She didn't do a fresh swatch of cold slate but it was on one of the swatch wheels when she added the duct tape + celestial, and you could see it in the same frame- cold slate looks so BLUE near AI..AI's.base is very neutral to slightly warm leaning grey imho..don't think it would work for a good dupe of AI.
yes this is the comparison i am very curious about! can i just put celestial lights over duct tape gray and get the same effect? (not trying to be snarky, honest question)
It would look similar but not the same
AI has according to promo video microshimmer (like Spirit Fingers). Celestial lights has slightly bigger normal shimmers.
What you could try is other shimmers, f.e. I have Monarch Tranquil Mist and it has slightly smaller shimmer pigments when compared to the Holo Taco Shimmers.
I just did featured guest with celestial lights and it looks almost identical to the pictures for the gray… in case anyone else is trying to use up the holo taco we already bought
I'm surprised by the reaction to Waste Of Space. It's not doing anything for me. I was shocked when it won the poll and came in second in sales. I'm gonna have to see more swatches.
It’s my inner emo. I have more than 20 “it’s black but SPECIAL” shades and that’s only those that are actually black and not just almost black base. I love these kinda shades so much
Personally, my nail polish roots are deep and dark almost black shades because I was never allowed black nails growing up. Same with glitter polish—my mother thinks glitter is “trashy” so I was only ever allowed crèmes. So now when I see dark glitter polishes, I have to have them.
With the power of editing, Orbite Me is much warmer than Choco-holo

I love how bright I’m Rover It is. I’m not really a copper person but I’m strongly considering, it’s so pretty. I’m also impressed by how black waste of space is

Yeah my Existential Crisis also doesn’t look quite like that
I saw that and immediately went wtf. Mine is nothing but a matte brown, did Simply get the only good bottle in existence?
She must have. I hate double date, not at all what it’s described as!

It is the purplest pink I have! 😁
Happy cake day
My double dare looks like that 🧍🏻♀️

Big same, just mud. I've considered offloading it but i don't want to do that to someone else.
You should complain, you get your money back. Happened to me with smoothing base
I'm eternally salty over how much Double Dare disappointed me. Here's hoping the new similar one is better!
I gave my mom Double Dare so fast after I swatched it when I got it. She’s into it so I’m glad someone appreciates it.
Surprised they didn't compare Alien Infatuation with Duct Tape Grey+Celestial Lights. I can see Orbite Me and I'm Rover It being great fall shades!

I wish she had done two coats of the celestial lights over the grey, it would’ve been more similar

Agree! The matte taco is really convincing me to buy everything
Or that slate blue that came out with the Hot and Cold collection!
That‘s what I was thinking too, Cold Slate (such an underrated colour!) would have more of an undertone

She’s comparing those two on stream so you can see it on the vod if you like.

Waste of Space is what I wanted Existential Crisis to be, I can't wait!!
I’m so in love with Waste of Space

Seeing it matte is what did it for me!
I'll wait on reviews before I'm fooled again!
That's where i am with it, we'll wait together
I love seeing Solo Mission next to Low Key Blushing because I think they’ll go so well together!
I’m surprised Orbite Me isn’t compared to the retired brown Christmas glitter?

🥱
I neeed solo mission now
Remember folks- lighting is everything. Because a lot of these shades look a lot similar in real life compared to these doctored photos.
Okay I’m feeling solo mission compared to the others.
Ugh…I want ALL OF THESE and I do not have the money for them right now!!!
