Holo Taco Combo | Zoya Nail Polish West and Holo Taco Freezer Burn

Posted on December 3, 2025 by Adventures in Polishland

This week I wasn’t sure what nail polish I wanted to wear, so I looked through my recent packages from Zoya Nail Polish and noticed a beautiful green shade from the Fall 2025 Muse Collection that I hadn’t yet tried. I decided to pair it with Holo Taco Freezer Burn, and I was so pleasantly surprised with the results! I thought I would share a review of Zoya West with you, and also show you how a nail polish topper can really transform any manicure into a new and unique shade.

I began my manicure with Zoya West, described as a dusky pine cream polish. This is a very dark green shade with blue undertones. West has a great formula that applies smoothly and is opaque in two coats. I really like the shade of green in this polish, and I like how shiny it is even without a top coat. You can purchase West on Zoya’s website for $14.00. You can save $5.00 off your first purchase from Zoya if you use my referral link.

Next up I added one coat of Holo Taco Freezer Burn. This is a special effects topper that is a blue iridescent shimmer. I am absolutely loving how my nails are now a deep blue shade with blue and purple shimmer. Freezer Burn is so fun to use, because although I never know what the end result will look like, it always ends up being so cool (pun not intended)! You can purchase Freezer Burn on the Holo Taco website for $14.00. I also used the Zoya Ultra Glossy Top Coat to seal in the look, which is available at Ulta for $17.00.

I am so happy with my nail polish combination this week! Adding a few special effects toppers to your nail polish collection can help you create so many fun manicures, and I love reaching for Freezer Burn in particular. If you would like to see how Freezer Burn looks over some other shades of nail polish, I have a post where you can see it over purple, and a post where I use it in a holiday themed manicure.

Purple Iridescent Nails featuring Zoya Nail Polish Soraya and Holo Taco Freezer Burn

Posted on September 9, 2024 by Adventures in Polishland

I recently discovered that I have a go-to nail polish look, so I’m trying to step outside of my comfort zone and try out some new-to-me combinations. I love using glitter nail polish toppers, but I realized I rarely reach for the shimmery top coats in my collection. I decided to pair Holo Taco Freezer Burn with Soraya from the Zoya Nail Polish Beachy Brights 2 Collection. It turns out these nail polishes go amazingly well together!

I began my manicure with Soraya, which is a vibrant fuchsia polish that dries to a matte finish. Soraya has an excellent formula that is opaque in two coats. This is such a beautiful purple shade, and I love how it looks matte. Soraya reminds me Charisma, which is one of my all-time favorite Zoya nail polishes, but leans a bit more pink.

I then added one coat of Holo Taco Freezer Burn to my manicure. This is a blue iridescent shimmer polish in a clear base. Not only does Freezer Burn apply evenly and easily, but it is so stunning! I could not believe how well this special effects topper goes with Soraya. It really adds so much dimension and shine. To compete the look, I added one coat of the Zoya Naked Manicure Glossy Seal Top Coat.

I absolutely love this combination of Zoya Soraya and Holo Taco Freezer Burn, and I know others do, too because I got multiple compliments on my nails at work. I’m glad I reached into my nail polish collection to switch things up a bit, as special effects top coats can really make a big difference. I am even thinking about buying another topper from Holo Taco soon because I just love how they can transform any manicure. If you are interested in recreating this look, you can buy Soraya for $12.00 on Zoya’s website, and Freezer Burn for $13.00 on Holo Taco’s website.

Merry and Bright Holiday Manicure featuring Holo Taco Freezer Burn

Posted on December 20, 2023 by Adventures in Polishland

I recently reorganized my entire nail polish collection, and in the process found the Zoya Nail Polish Beachy Brights Collection. This collection of six neon nail polishes was released in the summer of 2023. I was really drawn to the red and green shades, and thought they would make a fun holiday manicure. I also wanted to try Holo Taco Freezer Burn, which I recently got on Black Friday. I thought these polishes would combine well to create a merry and bright holiday manicure!

Some of the products in this post were provided for my unbiased review. All opinions are my own. See my Disclosure Policy for more information.

I began my manicure with Zoya Alora and Avani. Alora is a bright red nail polish with pink undertones, and Avani is a neon lime green. Unfortunately, neither of these polishes is currently available on the Zoya website for purchase. I hope they get restocked, because the formulas are great! Both shades are opaque in two coats, and they applied really well. I alternated red and green on each nail for this look.

I then topped my manicure with one coat of Holo Taco Freezer Burn. This is an iridescent blue shimmer polish. I am thrilled with how Freezer Burn looks on the nails! I wouldn’t normally call myself a shimmer manicure fan, but this polish really adds a fun touch to the nails. Plus, it works perfectly to give this holiday nail polish look a frosty and sparkly finish.

This will likely be my last Christmas manicure this year, and I am loving the result! It’s so much fun to do bright colors in the winter months. Something about the neon shades really cheer me up whenever I look at my nails! If you are looking for an easy holiday manicure that looks super festive, I highly recommend alternating red and green nails and adding a special effects topper from your collection.
