What I wore on March 2025?

Welcome to a post that should have been published last week but something happened that difficulted it. Don't worry, it will be adressed in this post. I will start by telling you that last month my best friend brought my half order of Holo Taco. We both purchase together to save up on delivery, but we now live a bit away from each other, so we don't see irl as much. That means that when we do, I get several orders worth of nail polish, that's why I'm always way behind on their release schedule. This will explain why basically all my manicures were Holo Taco this month, although I didn't even do that many!

My first manicure of the month was March 4th, and I was feeling the need of trying out Holo Taco's Ivy League. I felt like a dark polish but not black. To add some nail art, I decided to play around with Holo Taco's Silver Flake Taco but only using it as a french tip. Honestly, I'd recommend this a lot, it doesn't require perfection and it gives the point across!

My next manicure was done March 13th. I needed a change and my heart required to use Holo Taco's Foiled Again. Do you want to read a storytime that will tell you that delulu is my way to live? Foiled Again came out on the declassified collection, after being rejected for the first Royalty Trio, right? My browser had an image of the prototype open until it came out. I looked at it every single day until it came out. And it was even better. And it was a mess because it got out of stock just when we were going to purchase, I had to wait until the following year, and then... I got two bottles. It's the first and only time I've done that for a nail polish. And I regret nothing.

I was a little nervous because what if I didn't love it? But at first swipe, every doubt vanished away. I obviously needed nail art, so I decided to play with swipes of Holo Taco's Mint Money and Holo Taco's Gift Receipt to give it a little something extra:

 

I loved the polish, I didn't love the manicure. The mint and silver lines ended up too thick, almost indistinguishable and, honestly weird of me to say this, but too shiny. Don't get me wrong, I'm a magpie, but too many shiny pigments made it difficult to distinguish them. If I repeat this, I'll probably switch a shade by Holo Taco's Blacklisted or Holo Taco's Frozen Benanas... or even changing it for another finish. Who knows?

You can say that I loved this shade so much that it was on my nails for 12 days, until it chipped, so on March 25th I did another manicure. I needed a change of pace, a warm green, so I opted for Holo Taco's Peridon't Bother Me. For nail art, I looked into my stash and found nice stickers that could be used for the french tip, as I truly wanted to look at this polish on its own, too:

The sparkles sent me so so far that I was so willing to ignore that the stickers were not of great quality and didn't lay nice on the nails. Nice concept, I'd love to recreate this, but I am unable to draw lines that narrow. Ah, maybe in the future. The stickers ended up getting off, and I ended up enjoying a basic manicure for a bit, too. And honestly, I would probably keep wearing this polish at the time of writing this post if it wasn't chipped... if not for the tragedy.

A cabinet decided to be moody and temperamental and took away two of my nails. Two. I'm still processing it. So March 30th saw my last manicure of the month, after shortening all my nails for the second time in two months. I can't win. I wanted to play with a glitter so I went for the opposite this time, a cool toned shade, Holo Taco's Starry Eyed. Glitter makes things better when you need a boost of serotonin, right? As an accent, I drew with Holo Taco's Bottle Service a line where the visible nail line would be, so not a french but the same concept. And writing this is making me realise that I'm a bit basic and always go with variations of french tips, right? I might need to push myself out of my comfort zone more often! Anyways, the nails:

I tried my best to fish some star glitters but I didn't do really well. In any case the nails look good, even though I barely recognize them this short. Nothing bad with nails being short, I just feel mine weird this short, I'm too used to longer nails on me. They're great for scratching pets!

In any case, be ready for an April of trying to grow out my nails. Again. Pray that I don't break any nail before the summer, I have an important event then and I truly need to make them look perfect by then! So expect more nail tutorials this month and, honestly, a bit more variety in brands would also be good. I can't promise it, but I've been eyeing some nail polishes in my collection and they're calling my name! See you then!
