Hello Friends and welcome to a very special video!! Over the past year we've been working with our good friends over Holo Taco to make a brand new, celestial gothic nail polish collection 🦇🌙 And to celebrate its release today, we painted 10,000 fake nails and used them to make beautiful show-stopping dresses (with the help of our amazing dress designer JoEllen)!!

Of course, thank you to JoEllen at Firefly Path:

Saf’s literally the embodiment of “I know a guy”

It is so inspiring to see an adult friendship continuing to exist, in spite of the distance and years!

in the current rise of ai, this video of human artwork being created and honored is actually so refreshing and fun to watch.

As much as I'm glad she's had so much success with Holo Toco. I've missed Simply's random side quests, the streams are just not the same.

There was a brief second where I thought this was going to be made out of Cristine's peelies, and I was both disgusted and delighted 😂

I'm so entirely in awe of JoEllen and Alexandra's sewing capabilities!!! Truly beautiful craftsmanship!

Ben and Tyler painting towards the centre rather than towards the outside physically HURTS 😂 x

As a person who used to hand-sew sequins on her dance costumes, I have the BIGGEST respect for both the wonderful seamstresses in the video. Amazing job, ladies!

Joellen and Alex were the true MVPs of this video oh my gosh I would not even begin to imagine how hard that would have been to make and to have the dresses look so good!

They’ll be having nightmares about acrylic nails for months 😭 💅

I started crying because everything about this project is so immaculate. Art, friendship, passion, craftsmanship...

This ain’t a dress, this is a haute couture GOWN!!! It would’ve been so easy to use hot glue and a prayer, but they sewed EACH ONE! Excellent work!!

JoEllen and Alexandra skills are CRAZY, those are true craftsmanship and turned out amazingly!

The dresses are so cool. They look like they’re made with dragon scales.

As a costume designer/constructer myself, I’m absolutely OBSESSED with this. I love costumers. Joellen really rocked this one.

Wait- Nail In The Coffin wouldve been a perfect name for one of the polishes!!!

honestly, can we talk about the craftsmanship and how much hard work went into this project? I mean honestly like this is insane! not only is it absolutely time consuming and labour intensive to paint thousands of fake nails, also sewing them on one by one on each panel and then proceeding to tailor the dresses according to your styles, I mean, this has to be one of the most interesting and the most creative projects! Seriously, hats off to you guys for pulling this off because I think I would lose my mind!
