No! Keep the magnetics and forget about magnetizing

[@nluther22]

Agreed, the holo taco ones are gorgeous unmagnetized

[@EnragedTiefling]

"They look like diseases" Literally why I'm wearing Swamp Gloss Choke on Your Aspirations

[@AubreyMobley]

Sunset simulation over high tea hibiscus, really easy and beautiful and on my nails now.

[@amandastillman8352]

I haven’t tried that combination. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@MusicizmahQueenSBed4]

Wow such a great idea! I’ll try this soon

[@Mrs.Katiex0x]

I'm watching this as I'm packing up my latest destash! 😅 I had every Holo Taco since conception up until the Space Collection. I decided that I need to let go of the colors I don't like or have smaller Indie brands that the color looks similar. I've destashed over 100 Holo Tacos. It was nice getting the money and making room. I don't like magnetic polishes only because I can never get it to stick. But I keep them and not magnetize it. They make nice chrome/shimmery polishes. I'm the complete opposite of gold/rose gold/pink. I don't like those colors besides in nail polishes 😅

[@juliesunday8920]

I love that Emily de Molly topper so much I bought the silver version too.

[@lisapierce525]

That was quick, but still fun. I like yellow but it looks horrendous on me. Funny think is I’m wearing a mustard yellow T-shirt and it’s one of my favorites!

[@janicemonaghan1531]

Color Club's - Where's the Soiree is my favorite one coat black of all time and a better price point than most indies.

[@aprilkendzorski4906]

I'm obsessed with Mariah and GLL. I kept watching The Last Love being sent to the destash box and salivating. You will have no problem selling that one! That one will pay for something at your wedding for sure!

[@KzooBeerGirl]

I think you did great, especially with your HT polishes!

[@nickspolish]

royal crush was from the customer appreciation trio last year, not the second anniversary remix collection actually! (i have an encyclopedic knowledge of the brand idk)

[@MediocreManis]

Oh yeah I forgot about that one whoops

[@melissadobroski1981]

I also bought the Fair Maiden set at PBE and still haven’t used them to water marble 😂

[@auntrowdy7392]

Starrily’s Vantablack is a black you should try! It’s my #1 black polish. I promise you will love it. If not, I’ll buy it from you. Lol

[@Musikisbellatastic]

💛💛💛💛 I love yellow too🎉🎉🎉

[@MoodysMood-lt6wh]

Thank you. Question: What about the HT magnetics do you not like? I don't own any and an opinion would be helpful towards me deciding if I should try. Thanks in advance. LOL @ "Don't do work themed polishes." Those Great Lakes polishes are so beautiful!

[@rescueferret8834]

Girly Bits eeeeeee urrrrrr.... I was inspired to search for it after you mentioned it in an older video and I found it for $8 😃

[@pamelabeth]

Wow, that's a great price!

[@MrsMcFeely]

Try the Cracked Polish black. It's very good.

[@AubreyMobley]

So fast after the last one, thanks!

[@_.nailpotato]

I love you'r videos ❤

[@ashleyj0]

I'm listening to you while also digging through my collection and painting them on paper trying to decide what to wear 😅

[@melissaa4168]

And what a decision it's so hard when you lots you'd think it would be easier. Remember when you was young and maybe only had 1 or 2 🤣

[@zahraonokevbagbe2725]

I love mint money! But I love minty and sage greens so this isn’t surprising. We like different types of greens haha. As a side note, I really miss the formula x polishes by Sephora - the formulas were so good and they had a great selection. In particular I remember they had great reds!

[@graceknudsen9690]

"they look like diseases on the nail, and that's why I love them" i'm WHEEZING!!! Amazing. As for blacks: I use ILNP Ink right now and I like it! I just got Victorian Varnish Obsidian cause it's $7 for 17mL and looks promising.

[@cassielfsw3815]

Favorite Sister, Cold Shoulder, etc, are the frosted metal formula.

[@MediocreManis]

Thank you I could not for the life of me get it straight haha

[@_.nailpotato]

I wish i would have just 1 empty or used holo taco bottle i can't afford one one day i will get one

[@Frankieeeblahhh]

The frosted metals are my favorite! I didn’t get Cold Shoulder in time and now I’m regretting my life choices. I can’t pay $50-$90 for it. And Frozen Benanas is the only polish I’ve bought a back-up bottle of.

[@MediocreManis]

Are people really paying that much for it? The color has changed so much!

[@Frankieeeblahhh]

@@MediocreManis I don’t know if people are paying that much, but the ones I’ve seen have been listed for that much.

[@MediocreManis]

That's wild!

[@laurelloaf]

Emo for life by mooncat is my favorite black, but I like their brush more than the HT brush which might be part of it. My bottle is also a little thinner but just as opaque.

[@amelienoelle6969]

Wait, did I miss Essie Chinchilly when you were going through your Essies?

[@MediocreManis]

I know I mentioned it in one video so if it wasn't in this one then it may have strayed off into the next one haha. And don't worry, I kept it!
