Czech glass is just a higher quality glass (it’s also called crystal glass). So it’s still a glass/crystal nail file but the Czech republic is known for having some of the strongest and most durable glass in the world. It’s kind of like when maple syrup specifies it’s made in Canada because Canada is known to have some of the best maple syrup. It’s just assuring you that it’s not cheap or low quality glass.hope this helps clear up some confusion ☺️

The thing about Bat B*tch is that while it is not a one coater, it's SUPER easy to clean up without getting black shadows in the cuticle, and I never wear one coat anyway, so I use it in 3 coats as a base for toppers when I need a Thicc mani.

Loved your review! Really appreciated the honesty and constructive criticism 🖤 Personally I was a bit disappointed with this collection, though it is very pretty, I feel like they could've done a bit more with Safiya's crazy franken experiments and at least put the bat glitters in a small jar like nail glitter usually is. Haven't picked up any myself but Spirit Fingers is definitely the prettiest! On a side note, as a viewer I would've loved to see you pop up pictures from Holo Taco's website as a comparison with a perfectly curated promotional picture. Subscribed and can't wait to see more, keep it up!

The thing about that file is that while it is one sided, it's a hell of a lot better than any other file I own, needs less cleaning, files faster and cleaner, even compared to double-sided holo taco regular files. I will cry when mine breaks, and I don't care about the color.

Thank you for pointing out the one-sided nail file! I missed out on the complete collection and was so bummed out, I never knew I needed a black nail file until I then. Got lucky on ebay though with a black 2 sided nail file, for some reason it's even patented, maybe the different grits. Now I have to find myself one of those tiny glass vials too and I'm good. PS: Brucie looks way less green than the other shade.

I gotta say I was a bit disappointed with the collection. I suspected it wouldnt really be my jam, but I didnt like any of the colors and then the weird one sided file. Their regular files are great. Good to know about the staining, I have "here for the payday" and it stained worse than any polish I have ever experienced. I actually think their creme formula is really good to the point it is worth the $2.

This was the first collection box (without the glitters or file) I purchased and while the box is very nice, I don’t think I’ll do it again. Bat bitch was disappointing, especially since Safiya is KNOWN for her love of black. I enjoyed the rest of the polishes but I agree that I don’t like to pay more than $10 for crème polishes when there are so many good colors at the drugstore now.

I'm kind of surprised they didn't make Brucie more of a multichrome. I don't think it looks anything like LITW, but it also isn't very exciting. Bat B*tch was really just... pretty boring. It reminds me of a mainstream polish from the early 2000's =/ I know Safiya wanted something that was still black, but with a hint of something or other so I guess that's what we ended up with barely any shift. My trick with the nails and zip bags is actually shoving my nail between the zip rather than trying to pull it apart. It's usually soft enough plastic that it doesn't damage my nail.

"Czech glass" or crystal glass is not that special. You can say it's harder as it is mainly used for manufacturing glass that you can cut decoratively. You know those wine glasses your grandma probably has with pretty patterns ... It is also known for its sparkling quality so making the file black kinda defeats that purpose. The only secret to this kind of glass is added led (don't worry it won't poison you) so it's easy to make anywhere really. For the record if I walk into a store here in the Czech Republic to buy a glass file it will never ever be made of crystal. It's still glass, it breaks easily, it's a waste of money and normal glass will do the job as well. No shade to Cristine or Safia but I find it a bit useless

I haven’t tried Holo Taco because the few times I’ve watched Christine’s KZitem channel, she’s just so snarky and dismissive of other brands and honestly, it was a serious turnoff. Like I get it, she has her own brand so of course she’s going to talk up her own products but openly insulting other brands is just not cool and I don’t want to support that.
