 Crème Nail Polish

Most Helpful Critical Review

Great coverage, kind of difficult to work with

I recently purchased Thyme After Thyme, Peri-Social and Everything Taco -- but I'm just going to stick to reviewing the Cremes for this one. I am not new to the brand, but this was my first time purchasing Cremes from Holo Taco. I love the quality of their specialty polishes and toppers, so I figur...ed I would love their cremes as well. However, I was slightly disappointed with how difficult it was to work with and I'm not a beginner by any means. These cremes are THICK -- and I mean VERY thick. Plus, with how wide their brushes are, it was literally impossible for me to NOT get polish on my skin, which really isn't the biggest deal as I use a clean-up brush anyway. I knew I was going to need some thinner from the jump, I just didn't realize how much. I usually only add about 5 drops at a time before checking to see if it's the right consistency....I needed 20 drops just to get it somewhat thinner and I still wasn't happy. Thankfully, this polish self levels out really well otherwise it would have been a disaster lol. The color was beautiful. Coverage was amazing -- I honestly probably could have gotten away with just one coat. Peri-Social wasn't AS thick as TAT, but still definitely thicker than any other brand I've tried before. I cannot stress how beautiful these two shades are though! Overall, I'm pretty happy with the purchase, although I'm not sure if I'll continue purchasing any additional cremes from HT, as I do prefer mine to be on the thinner side. I also feel like there are other brands out there at the same price point (or cheaper) that have similar, if not identical shade dupes -- and I won't have to add a ton of thinner to use them. However, if you're someone who prefers a thicker creme and/or doesn't mind having to add a bunch of thinner to a new polish, you may love these! The quality is great -- longevity wise, I haven't had any issues with chipping or anything like that and I'm currently on day 7 of wearing Thyme After Thyme. Happy Painting!
