What I wore in May 2025?

It's the beginning of the month, so let's revisit all the manicures that I've worn in the last weeks. This time I present you four, and as I promised, it's not all Holo Taco, though it will still be represented.

On May 3rd, I decided to go full on spooky, even if it was not the season, because it's a state of heart:

I got two polishes from Sally Hansen's collab with Beetlejuice, Bio Exorcist and Ghost with the Most, and that's my base. For the french tip, I used Holo Taco's Not Milky White and striped carefully with One Coat Black afterwards. And yes, this was the perfect excuse to use Holo Taco's Glow in the Dark Taco. It muddied a little bit the glitter, but I still got the effect I wanted, even if it wasn't perfect with the smudges.

On May 12th, I wanted to wear Holo Taco's Emerald City for the first time, as it was from the birthstone collection and it felt appropiate for the month, as I did with Ride or Diamond. To add a little bit of nail art, because I don't allow myself to have a plain manicure for some reason, free handed the lunulas with Holo Taco's World's First. Honestly I could and should have gone for the top coat and vinyl route, instead:
 

I wanted something softer, more pastel leaning for this next manicure, so on May 22nd my eye got caught by Sally Hansen's Under the Tree. Ironically, I feel this polish is more suited for spring than for Holidays? I understand the green plus golden shimmer is in theory very Christmas, but the execution gives me field of grass with small flowers. I used Astra's Crackle Lacquer in the shade L202. I honestly and truly NEED, capital letters, more crackle polishes. If I see some in Spain, I'll go feral. Companies, I'll throw euros at your face for green ones, and for honestly more than black.

 

Finally, on May 28th I did my last manicure of the month. I have talked in this blog a couple times about how my Holo Taco's Green Taffy bottle has issues, as it's not only almost empty, but it has had more thinner than it probably should have, meaning that it is not even a linear holo anymore, but it was more of a dusting of micro holograpic pigment in a jelly base. And I said to myself, okay, let's play with that and make a jelly sandwich with Holo Taco's Silver Flake Taco:

Honestly I love the result, and I'm sad I won't be able to replicate it anymore. I do have other flake polishes but this feels a bit different, anyways. I do have another unopened bottle of Green Taffy, so I'm not out, and I will do another experiment with the last drops of this bottle. It might be featured quite soon. I wish I could say the same about Holo Taco's Full Charge, but alas, Simply Nailogical betrayed me specifically.

Thanks for reading, I don't have a plan for my next manicures, so it will be a surprise to you as much as they will be to me! I had to reorganize my nail polish drawer to make it... drawers! Congratulations to myself to be in the "is this healthy" category of collection, specially noting that I don't buy other colours! I have nail mail coming, too, so I will be extremely overwhelmed, but excited!!
