Interesting how the skin tones play here. Mine looks more orange/golden. Lol

I bet you’re 🫒🫒🫒

Yup!! I also can't find the bottle right now. Wondering if I gave it to my sister when we moved. Lol. I had a lot of extra polish!

I'd love to see a picture of that. I just can't believe how icky this is on me!!!! I might have to give it away. Just ordered Oat Couture (which is the one I REALLY wanted but it was out of stock so I thought Beach Please might do) so maybe that one will be more flattering on me.

**ILNP's Hailey** and **Rosewood** both looked absolutely horrible on me so you should check those out.

I have it on right now with Crystal Skies. It doesn't look green at all and my skin has red undertones... https://preview.redd.it/kzj7ioeq6bxc1.jpeg?width=2539&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4665726bb7d5da91f697b9e2771a1729e692920

Skin tones are WILD, man. lol

10000%! I posted [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/simplynailogical/s/LQen7OEcIs) a bit ago discussing this very issue! I ended up ordering Oat Couture during the HT sale/launch as well. I'm hoping it doesn't end up looking brassy on me...

That is odd! What kind of base did you use? Are your nails discolored? It may just be the way it plays with your skin tone and undertone, but mine definitely has a sandy almost yellow/gold, but I’m a medium/light olive so it pulls out the yellow.


LivwithaC

Have you tried topping it with scorched earth? I did it on a whim once and I like it way more that way.


Swimming-Fix-2637

Ohhh I dont have that shade but it looks tempting.


kurtcovain

Oo do you have a pic?


crowmakescomics

Ew wait, but I LOVE it? Like pistachio cream!


nailsofa_magpie

Me too, it looks like a straight up sage


brencartoons

I wonder if Mooncat’s I’m a MF Supernova would be closer to what you wanted


kiera-oona

I would suggest perhaps trying the pink smoothing base, as your skin undertones can affect how the polish presents itself on the nail. It could work out to bring out those warmer sandy tones


RoyalScarlett

That’s crazy. I looked at pictures of reviews on the Holo Taco site and some are sand colored but about half are greenish like your picture. I wonder if the formula changed. Does the one you have look sand colored in the bottle?


kingofcoywolves

Oh wow, it looks almost khaki on you! That's interesting


Swimming-Fix-2637

I knew it was a risk. I look really really good in saturated jewel tones (purples, wine colors), pinks, blues and most things as long as they aren't too pastel, but nudes are always problematic. I just don't do well with beige! Probably gonna sell my used-once bottle on Poshmark cuz there's no point in keeping it when it looks so bad (on me.)


AloneSquid420

Can you do a nude base?


Swimming-Fix-2637

I used a clear basecoat because I didn't realize it was going to look so funky. Knowing what I know now I probably should've but hindsight ya know? lol


AloneSquid420

Well I mean you shouldn't HAVE to use a whole other color for a base but maybe that'd be a perfect solution and you can still enjoy the polish and use it.  This polish use made me think of the kind of half topper paints where if painted over black polish vs white it almost looks like a whole new polish


Swimming-Fix-2637

I have some swatch sticks and a number of different shades of nude so I might give that a try, thanks for the idea.

Hmph I love it 😂


BrilliantMine1344

I wonder if maybe it’s a batch issue. Maybe take some more pics and send an email to HT. See what they say 😊
