Big T Ranch Holos, Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Hi all! Today I have a new-to-me indie brand, Big T Ranch! They actually have been selling bath and body products since 2007 and started selling nail polish about 4 years ago! This is her new Holo collection, but I'm actually going to call them holo shimmer.


Big T Ranch Holos, Swatches and Review



For each polish, the first picture is taken indoors in artificial lighting. The next two photos are taken in direct sunshine. All polishes dry down a little matte, so I used top coat on every polish.

Cloud: 3 coats plus top coat. I'll start with the trickiest formula. This is a pinky beige color with loads of blue shimmer. It is a little frosty, so the less brushstrokes the better. Because these polish dry down a bit matte, they dry faster, so work quickly. The other polishes were easy to use, but this one was tricky. I like this one much more on my skintone in the sun.


Big T Ranch Cloud

See what I mean? The brown in the beige comes out in the sun and I like it so much more! Isn't that weird?!

Energy: 2 coats plus top coat. Yummy hunter green! This one is my jam. The formula was much better than Cloud and went on in 2 easy coats. Again, indoors, you see a hint of sparkle. These are holos that definitely need sun. But since holo isn't even my favorite finish, I like these holo shimmers.

Fire: 2 coats plus top coat. This right here is my absolute favorite of the collection. It's a red toned brown and that's what I love! I don't love blackened browns. This is perfect. This is autumn. I will be back with this polish in November. LOL.


Big T Ranch Fire

See what I mean about the hint of red? It's just enough to make this unique.

Lotus: 2 coats plus top coat. I was surprised this was 2 coat coverage, but happily surprised! This one is so pretty! It's a neon lavender type color with blue shimmer and holo. This is the same blue shimmer as in Cloud, but it's so much more vibrant in photos!


Big T Ranch Lotus

Sigh, this one is so pretty! This was also more holo in person. I love the combo of blue shimmer with the holo!

Wind: 2 coats plus top coat. This is a deep navy blue with just a hint of teal. It's got that same shimmer and it's just super deep and moody. But again, it's not too blackened, but I like that.

Zen: 2 coats plus top coat. This is a super vibrant teal (but no staining!). I'm a huge green fan, so I do love this.

Since these dry a little matte, I wanted to see how they look fully matte! I did a random design with all the polishes. I can tell I like Cloud much more when it's matte!

Each polish will retail for $13 and they will be released October 1. 

By the way, October is next week and I genuinely don't understand where time is going! LOL. I would say my favorites are Fire, Energy, and Lotus. Lotus has such a cool shimmer and Fire and Energy have me ready for autumn, if it ever wants to come!
