$65 nail polish from harry styles??? 

Holo taco is 11-14 dollars. 11 for the polishes. 13 to 14 for all the fun toppers or the fancier polish like the multi chrome. The quality is AMAZING for the price point. Their black nail polish is amazing. It’s called one coat black for a reason.

as someone who has a large collection of nail polishes, that price point is unreasonable. that price is reasonable for hand poured polishes and polishes with special finishes... not polishes that are made in a factory and with a pearl finish lol these are only that price because his name is on it (but most of us knew that by now)

“Pleasing pen” sounds like the name of an adult toy

honestly if you're willing to spend that much on subpar cremes why not spend less on a few holo taco nail polishes literally best creme and topper formulas on the market and its much cheaper than this :/ one coat black is absolutely bombbb

Why are expensive nail polishes so BORING?! Indie companies will come out with crazy polishes like magnetic colour shifting multi chrome with holographic glitters that give crazy dimensional galaxy looking effects for like $16 MAX and brands will charge over $20 for a boring creme with maybe a little shimmer in it. If you’re gonna make an expensive polish at least make it look cool.

I'm so glad we all know somebody named Hannah who's obsessed with Harry Styles

What the heck, $65??? Even luxury brands like Chanel or Dior sell their nail polish for $28 and that’s already overpriced

theres a lot of indie brands - like ACTUAL indie brands who handmake their polishes and not get them made in a factory - that sell AMAZING polishes for $10-$13 (my own brand included). these types of things are less about the product and more about the name behind it. hence the price.

Okay, first of all, those polishes are clearly just a cash grab. Even if they were good quality, $65 for three fairly basic colors is an insane mark up. Secondly I wanted to give my two cents as a long time nail polish enthusiast: The storing nail polish in the fridge thing is actually a myth. You don't want the polish to get hot but it doesn't need to be cold either. Nail polish is solvent based, not water based, so it doesn't really go bad. Unopened polish left on it's own will basically last forever. The biggest enemies that make polish age are air and sunlight. The more air gets into the bottle, the more solvent you lose and the faster your polish thickens. You want to keep the neck of the bottle clean of buildup and make sure your bottles are firmly closed when your done with them. Sunlight can cause the pigments (and sometimes the solvents) in nail polish to break down; the same way anything left outside for a long time tends to get bleached by the sun. So if you just store polish in a dark place (a drawer, cabinet, closet, etc) you can mostly avoid that happening. Also if your polish does get thick, you can just add some nail polish thinner until you get back to the consistency you like. (Seriously I had 20-year-old polish I got from my mom, that was so thick it didn't move in the bottle, come back to life with generous use of nail polish thinner and patience). Never use polish remover for that though, it will break down the solvents and ruin the polish. ...Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk.😅

to answer your question at the very end of the video, i think a taylor swift lipstick line would sell like crazy.

Hey heads up, any nail hardener is going to make your nails chip. You want your hail hydrated so they BEND, not ridged so they BREAK. I had the problem where my nails where peeling/the layers where kind of separating, I tried a nail hardener, they chipped instead. Looked it up and got a regular nail oil, haven’t had problems since

Theres something to be about a lot of the celebrity brands being so expensive. I couldn't even fathom spending more than 5 bucks on a bottle of nail polish. Like who realistically can spend like half a month of grocery money on nail paint like ????

Obviously Holo Taco is awesome, mooncat is another awesome nail polish brand. Even Pacifica has some lovely polish. I hope nail polish does catch on as not just something for women. Nail polish is for everyone 💅

The acutane probably dried out your cuticles and it’s making your nails dry and peely! The burts bees lemon cuticle balm is really great for that. It could also be a mineral deficiency but it’s worth it to try

"Our minimal packaging choices" yeah you know there's a reason you ship glass things in well-padded packaging

I want some real left field merch. I'm talking Steve Buscemi body wash. I want a candle scented like what the Rock was cookin. Give me a tightfitting athleisure line designed by Paul Giamatti. I will buy them

While these prices are overpriced for a mass manufactured polish, no matter the quality... Light coloured frosted polishes rarely have a non streaky quality, just because of the nature of the pearls and pigments. It's hard to have an opaque polish without covering the frosty pearls. It's part of why gel polish is incredibly streaky, as most gel isn't a pure matte (it's also because the light has to be able to reach all of the gel put down in a single coat, which is also why you want to do incredibly thin layers, but that's besides the point. I personally would have done 3-4 thin coats of the lighter polishes, or layered them over a matte white. Anyways, just pointing out that they aren't bad quality, or that this review doesn't prove they're bad quality. Also, before I get anyone swooping in saying I'm just making excuses for Harry, I literally do not care about that man. I'd argue Amanda knows more about him than I do. I just used to be an avid nail art enthusiast (that sounds so extravagant when I'm literally just trying to say I was obsessed with nail polish and nail art).

if u want fun nail polish and ur willing to spend that much just buy holo taco, its actually good. i love harry but i also like not wasting money

If you're talking about something, like you were mentioning in the beginning about the other products in the collection, it would be helpful if you flashed a picture of it on the screen

For crying out loud....$65 nail polish that is probably equal to the Dollar General $2 polishes. Bank it!! I get Ipsy and the expensive polishes I get are literally the same quality. So bullshat Edit: As a woman walking about in the USA, I will not wear a sweater that projected me as "PLEASING". That's just asking for trouble 😵‍💫

It kind of sounds like the whole branding is sexual innuendo with Harry Styles, but with plausible deniability.

*Knocks box of nail polish over "Guess this is going to be a shorter review than planned"

Every Hannah is obsessed with Harry Styles. It's just science

guys, nail polish doesn't expire! *ever* !!! if it dries out?? even if it dries out COMPLETELY! ??? just buy some THINNER, it can absoLUTELY be revived (no refrigeration necessary!)

Your commentary on merch is so true. There's so many people that I ADORE, even smaller artists, but I almost never buy any merch from them because I just can't picture myself wearing it. First piece of non-charity (I'm talking Project for Awesome perks here) merch that I've gotten was Taylor Swift's Red cardigan last month because I've become obsessed with her music this past year and I genuinely liked the original cardigan before becoming a fan

let’s be real, Harry ain’t using this, he’s out here getting mani pedi’s at a salon 😫

This video is proof that someone needs to give you some kind of tv show! You have a middle aged man who has no interest in nail polish glued to the screen based just on how you present the info and yourself. I love your work it's relatable but with just enough professionalism to not be all over the place or over shoot.

my favorite nail polish is $2 and i haven't found a better nail polish since i've started using it . that pleasing nail polish better be made from unicorn blood that was hand poured on mount everest

comment section is really just an adverstisment of Simply Nailogical

Ok, I know it is a nail polish thing, but anything called "pleasing pen" is a very sus thing to say the least😂

Machine Gun Kelly also got a nail polish brand now, so if you feel like doing a sequel there's that... ALSO if you're still into acting, why don't you do a video finding out your casting type? Think that would be very entertaining! Always fun to see if your self image lines up with how other people see you.

I don't really follow Harry Styles so maybe nail polish is really on brand for him. When I've seen him in pictures he's always wearing some really cool jewelry. I think a jewelry line from him would be interesting.

Kinda crazy to think that my own band made like 300 shirts for a grand. They have held up for ourselves and fans for years now, but when ya get to that order of production, the idea that one wash, we’ll, washes them out, it’s crazy

I would love to see a "I tried snack/makeup/stationary subscription box, so you don't have to" because they've been flooding my feed due to Christmas coming up

I don't think Harry is involved as much as let's say simplynailogical 😅,

*me desperately fighting the urge to plug every holo taco product in existence* 😶😶😶😶😶

OH SHIT YES! okay okay I'm putting my analysis i did here on the price: Ive been a long time nail polish user (mostly use indie polish's like HT, FL, ILNP nowadays) I've never used the "luxury" polishes like chanel or gucci. If you get the polish bundle, the polishes are 65$ usd, 16.25$ individually. It's hard to compare to the indie brands I know of like ht and fl, as they base their pricing off of the complexities of the polish but I have found a similar polish to pleasing's Pearly Top that I'll use below. An Iridescent polish similar to pearly tops, Crystal at Fun Lacquer, could run you $14 for 12 mL/0.4 FL oz which is $1.17/mL vs Pearly Tops from Pleasing which is 20$ for 13 mL/0.43 FL oz which is $1.54/mL which is a 0.37 cent difference per mL. But you also get a set of alphabet decals with the Pleasing polish, which a set of nail decals from other nail brands can run you $3-$7 which, the pleasing polish being $20 minus a $15.21 (basing the price off of FL's $1.17/mL) polish would be a $4.79 decal which isn't a horrible price for two sheets of decals that provide several of each letter. So, it's not /actually/ that pricey per nail polish IF you factor in the price of the decals and adjust for the extra mL (most polishes are in 12 mL) The 65$ bundle also comes with 3 sets of decals so, if we assume each decal is $4.79 and we have three, $14.37, which means the bundle is $50.63 for the 4 polishes which is $12.66 which isn't bad from an indie perspective - IF they can compare quality wise which can be a personal preference. I've bought $14 bottles from Fun Lacquer that take 6 coats to be opaque but I've also only needed 2 coats of a $5 sally hansen to be opaque. These are also pearly's which I think are kind of meant to be slightly translucent anyways so it's kind of up to you. okay thats all rant over i hope you dont do the same math and this was for not

For that price, the polish needs to make me breakfast in bed, clean the house and massage my feet at night.

I’ll stick to my holo taco but thanks anyways Mr Styles

Looks like I would've bought that at Claire's in 5th grade

Nails can peel due to low iron too, not sure if youre anemic but that could be a reason :) (mine peel for that reason)

do you mind sharing how many days it took to ship? this would be a great christmas gift for my harry styles loving hannah but since it’s the 17th it might be cutting it kind of close

Yeah, from what you've shown, it looks like any $2 Walmart nail polish ahah. I feel super bad for Harry Styles fans tbh. Reminds me of Louboutin's $60 red polish. Like wtf ppl ahaha Imo most good polishes don't go over $10-20. I have like a few Chanel polishes, tbh some colors are gorgeous but the brush is super thin so it's just a pain doing your nails and it takes super long. Dior's are the same iirc. YSL's and Urban Decay's are great though, but tbh it's nothing you can't find at a cheaper price. People recommend Holo Taco from Christine but it may be complicated for people outside of the US/Canada. As a rule of thumb (lol), It's always good to stick to the classics anyway: Essie, China Glaze, and OPI are always good choices in general. Otherwise: - For people in Europe: I would recommend Kiko Milano nail polishes, they're like 2€ each and they're great colors. Not a lot of glitters though. They also ship to the US. - For people in Asia: Canmake Japan, also a lot of k beauty brands have their own nail polish line and they're all pretty good-- especially The Saem's and Holika Holika's. Lastly, a good advice I got from my nail tech: if you have thin nail beds, very brittle and sensitive, I would recommend doing the Herome Nail Hardener treatment. I think there are other polishes that work the same: day 1 you add one coat, day 2 you add a second coat, day 3 you remove everything, and then you go over the cycle again for 2/3 weeks. It really works, it honestly saved my nails.

I feel wierd about a man profiting off his mostly young female fan base by selling overpriced versions of dollar store nail polish but with "branding". But you know what, my brain doesn't want to critique Harry Styles so... 🤷

$16-20 for nail polish is outrageous.

I just can't fathom spending loads of money on nail polish - I buy super cheap nail polish, and as long as do two coats and use a base and top coat, which are also super cheap, it lasts for weeks. Why would I spend more money on it just because it has a celebrity's name on it?

As someone who also has had peeling nails- I recomend using a nail oil! You can buy them online, but I recommend just mixing vitamin e oil and jojoba oil (a la simplynailogical) it works wonders on my skin and nails!

I would love to see a video essay/deep dive from you on white makes good merch; Because I agree with you there’s a lot of bad merch out there but I can’t quantify what makes something good or bad

the shade of pink is nice, i was genuinely surprised that the black wasn't a sheer streaky mess

I saw a post about the crew neck and basing the “pleasing” was seriously off center

Holo taco nail polish is great :)

"The Love Atrocities" sounds like a great band name.

Just gotta say how much swell entertainment rocks!

Ok but why do they look like LIFE game pieces.

Ooo, video idea! Compare and contrast traditional celebrities vs. influencers who come out with some type of merchandise. Compare price points, type of merchandise, fan reception, etc.

Sugar Daddy Amanda being an offspring of swell daddy is not surprising

Can we add "Spun with gold out of a monkey's Ass" to the Swell Entertainment Lore?

"growth, maturity" 😂 my gosh I related so hard

i hate this was marketed as "gender neutral" bc that's like...you mean regular fucking nail polish?

you should review the machine gun kelly "nail polish for introverts"

Swell and simplynailogical collab when

7:05 I was listening to this in the background as I was doing things and as an ex 5sos stan when I say I WHIPPED my head around

take a shot every time Amanda says arguably

girlie u are GLOWING

Yay your reviewing his nail polish. Im a huge fan of his.

I was in the middle of complimenting your outfit and overall look in this video to my best friend (who also watches your video but hasn't seen this one yet) when you started talking about how you're channeling Love Quinn vibes today lmao. Don't know what it says about me.

I hate painting my nails, so time consuming for short term or botched results. So I've been using gel strips with ohara and have loved how easy it is and how long they last (about 2 weeks with fresh strips). But I do take breaks between using the strips as they can cause some nailbed damage (and you have to remove them carefully) but still a better alternative than fake nails in that regard.

Arguably, I think you said arguably a lot in this video

I’m literally screaming and crying begging you to talk about xobrooklyn

Omg I took Acutane when I was in 8th grade (that was already back in 2004, I'm old as shit). And that medication FUCKED me up! It worked wonders removing my acne that's for sure, but to this day I wonder just how much damage that drug may have done to my body and physical development. But man my acne was horrible before then and nothing worked so I don't regret it.

Most of these looked great, but can only see purchasing if your an HS fan. I'm sure they can bank on that base alone, but they really are taking advantage of people's fandoms or obsessions in cases like this. I guess at least the product works while it's overpriced.

Your theory for what would’ve happened for the crewnecks is very true

Pleasing as a name is the most british thing Ive heard

The year of the Amanda.

The thing I don’t like about the price is that they are all creme polishes which is the cheapest formula to make and the quality is not worth that price tag.

Well now I want a midnight blue nail polish. Definitely not such an expensive one tho lol

20!? That stuff is $3 nail polish

Revlon has a drugstore $5 white pearl polish that I would pick over these any day

It's funny looking at this from a US perspective because brands like Opi and Revlon and Sally Hansen go for that here.

Could have done "S-W-E-L-L" on one hand and then C-U-Next-Tuesday on the other....

what in the drugstore polish is this

Me sitting here I was not looking for nail polish But I was looking for celebrity perfume that was around $60 bucks for a tiny vial that was hand mixed /made With a custom tiny label by them

When you asked who's next I immediately thought of Pete Davidson and you saying his name at the same time freaked me out lol

Is celebrity nail polish gonna become the new celebrity perfume and celebrity skincare/makeup line?

Why no pictures of the official merch in the video?

Oh god, I really didn't need to know about new nail polish brands. I have so many already.

Should've been called ~zionism~

I love harry but I refuse to buy his nail polish for that price, it's way too expensive. Plus I can't with his merch, it sucks. he needs to get a better merch/marketing team

Hey Swell, have you seen the lady on tiktok who says that Rome never existed?

I know you don't go by brand, but I think you could enjoy ILNP if you like shiny holographics and such! Get one or two as a treat!

Good Idea I did not buy this for my Cousin for Christmas, I'm not spending $65 for Nail Polish that can break on arrival in the box, I bought her a T-Shirt and Poster when we saw him live on his "Love On Tour" in San Antonio, his concert merch is also extremely expensive.

agreed a lot of merch sucks. i really prefer fanmade merch. and pls i totally relate to ur 5sos phase i had one too lol

i had a student buy them for me for christmas (CRAZY!!!) and mine were all super good quality and i got good results in one coat for the pink and blue/black and two coats with the white. idk man, people are so mad about this as if it's meant to be a mass market product like...no, it was made with harry fans in mind exclusively. you wouldn't pay $20 a bottle? yeah, duh, no average person would. it's for the hardcore stans who will throw money at anything he does. this isn't new, this is how celebrity culture has been for decades.

Being completely honest, these nail polishes don't look very 'pleasing' to me

so this is how I find out about Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian

Please please please please ground your hands when putting on nail polish, it's helped me so much! Literally, just put the hand you're painting flat on a table then have the hand doing the painting also resting on the table. It makes such a difference when you're stable. Also you don't need expensive polishes to have interesting colors! Sinful Colors and LA Colors are two brands whose bottles are usually $1-3 a bottle and they have all kinds of interesting formulas and finishes! Also also a $5 bottle of Sally Hansen Insta Dry will work fantastically as a top coat.

Super late to this but my insane ass paid like $200 for Canadian shipping for the sweater.. although I wish I had saved money and bought it off Etsy, I have to say, the quality of that sweater is insaneee! Honestly probably the highest quality piece of clothing I own, so at least it lives up to the price 🤷‍♀️ (no peeling after 6ish months)

can we expect a review of the MGK polishes?

Speaking of Daddy merch... when is the "Daddy is earned" zip hoodie coming back in stock? My Daddy will look hot AF in that color.

Oh this.... Unexpected but not surprising 😅
