Moonlight Rodeo: A Purple Jelly with a Twist
Moonlight Rodeo is a unique purple jelly polish infused with a cyan micro shimmer and scattered holographic glitter. It offers a beautiful, ethereal look, but requires three coats for full opacity. While the shimmer adds depth, be aware that it can stain nails even with a base coat.
Compared to other similar polishes, Moonlight Rodeo stands out with its lighter purple shade and ghostly cyan shimmer, unlike the deeper purples with blue multichrome effects found in others. The formula is similar to Holo Taco's Phantom Call, although the colors differ significantly.
Despite the staining, Moonlight Rodeo is a beautiful and unique addition to any collection. A good base coat is recommended to minimize staining, but the stunning color is well worth the effort.
Disco Inferno: A Frosted Metal Masterpiece
Disco Inferno is a vibrant orange frosted metal polish with gold holographic scattered glitter. The frosted metal formula is truly stunning, creating a textured, metallic effect. Although the camera doesn't fully capture its intensity, in real life, this polish is an absolute showstopper.
This shade reaches full opacity in just two coats, unlike some other frosted metal polishes. Compared to Holo Taco's Cheap Champagne, Disco Inferno's orange base is far more vibrant and intense. Frozen Bananas, another Holo Taco favorite, offers a similar texture but a distinctly different warm metallic tone.
Disco Inferno is a clear winner in this collection. The formula is exceptional, the color is unique, and the gold glitter elevates it to the next level. It’s a must-have for fans of metallic polishes.
Sparkling Spurs: A Mauve-Leaning Crushed Holo
Sparkling Spurs is a warm lilac purple crushed holo polish with a unique finish between scattered and linear holographic. The color leans more pink than lilac for the reviewer, but the mauve undertones are appealing.
Two coats provide full opacity, and despite a minor visible nail line, a blurring base coat could easily remedy this. Compared to other similar Holo Taco shades like Pink Fizz and Pop Rocker, Sparkling Spurs' warm tone differentiates it.
While not a personal favorite for the reviewer due to the pink hue, Sparkling Spurs offers a unique crushed holo formula and a pretty mauve-pink shade that may appeal to others.
Cowboy Tears: A Turquoise Crush Holo with Pink Shimmer
Cowboy Tears is a turquoise crushed holo with a pink to purple micro shimmer. The base color appears more turquoise or deep aqua in comparison to other blues.
Two coats are sufficient for full opacity, but a blurring base coat might improve the finish. Compared to Holo Taco's Hydro Power, Cowboy Tears shows a more pronounced turquoise hue.
Despite its unusual combination of colors, Cowboy Tears is a well-received shade. The interplay of warm and cool tones creates a unique and visually interesting manicure.
Bless Your Heart: A Berry Pink Holo Glitter
Bless Your Heart is a berry pink holo glitter polish. The chunky glitter requires three coats for full coverage and is difficult to remove without a peel-off base coat.
Compared to other chunky glitter polishes, Bless Your Heart shares similarities with Holo Taco's Plum Luck in terms of formula and color tone, albeit darker. Two coats of glossy top coat are recommended for a smoother finish.
This is not a favorite for the reviewer due to the chunky glitter and pink color, but those who enjoy this style will find it unique.
Overall Collection Review and Nail Art
The Disco Cowboy collection, while individually impressive, lacks overall cohesiveness due to the fan-voted color palette. Each shade has a unique appeal, but the diverse range of colors and finishes results in a less unified look.
The reviewer especially appreciates the creative super carton packaging. However, the collection's reliance on shades that have previously appeared in Holo Taco collections could be improved upon.
Despite its inconsistencies, the Disco Cowboy collection provides various unique and beautiful shades, the frosted metals standing out especially. The reviewer's collaboration with Holo Taco showcases the versatility of the collection through a creative disco cowprint nail art design.
Final Verdict
The Holo Taco Disco Cowboy Collection offers a mixed bag of polishes. Disco Inferno is a standout, showcasing the brand's excellent frosted metal formula. Moonlight Rodeo is another winner, despite the staining. Sparkling Spurs and Cowboy Tears are unique and well-executed, though their color might not appeal to everyone. Bless Your Heart, however, is the least appealing due to its chunky glitter and pink shade.
The collection as a whole lacks cohesion due to the fan-voted color palette. While each polish has individual merit, the overall palette feels somewhat repetitive compared to previous Holo Taco releases. The super carton packaging, however, is a plus.
Ultimately, the collection's success depends on individual preferences. If you love bold, unique colors and finishes, Disco Inferno and Moonlight Rodeo are definite must-haves. The rest of the collection is more of a gamble, but the overall quality remains high. More variety in future collections would be welcomed.
