We Built A Custom Nail Polish Truck

HOLO FRIENDS!! Simply & Safiya are back at it again - this time with a one-two punch of a holo taco nail polish collab, and a matching (holo) taco truck that we built from an old fedex truck. I hope you guys enjoy this one - what else should we do with our new truck?? Also, if you're interested - you can shop any of the safiya x holo taco collab products here!! holota.co/safiyaxholotaco
QUICK UPDATE: as of this video going live, the collection bundle that includes the nail file & the glitter is sold out, BUT there are still collection boxes and individual shades available!!
💅 xoxo, saf

LETS GOOOO BAT BESTIE🦇🦇

Everyone was so respectful and so well mannered

As the person at 23:12 being handed tea by Ben, I can confirm the event was absolutely amazing and everyone involved did an amazing job! Also as someone who lives in Raleigh, it’s so cool to see Safiya collaborating with local brands and promoting them in her videos. I don’t know that I would have known about MilkLab or the other local vendors she highlights in her videos without them.

Everyone was so respectful and so well mannered , so artistic and nice! It’s so nice to see a fandom made by such awesome people. The fandom really reflects who the creators really are

Tyler and Ben both keep questioning if Safiya and Cristine being together in a nail polish truck is a "good idea" in the beginning is just pure gold 🤣

The security guard was so cute. She definitely took her job of guarding the holo seriously

Ben unintentionally starting his own meet and greet line and creating competition in the holoverse is pure gold lmao

The fan at the end saying “get home safe” was so sweet. You guys have really built a kind and caring community around your content!

As someone who has driven a food truck for over four years, the fact that you only hit one curb is beyond impressive. I’ve seen so many much worse things happen to first time food truck drivers 😅

Ben realizing he has his own little fan base within all of this is just amazing ❤

Just rewatched the video and was thinking about how clever it was for Saf to make the truck the highlight of the video, rather than the polish collection itself. Whenever she collabs, aside from whatever royalty or percentage she's paid in the agreement, the video content is really what she gets out of it. Usually, like the custom candy and boba shop takeover, the content is almost all about her learning to do stuff, BTS, making and experimenting. But with HT so much of that process is proprietary or trade secret that if she had tried to make the video about "I designed my own nail polish with Holo Taco" it would have been really awkward and she'd have to be intentionally vague about almost everything. Instead by making it about the truck and her friendship with Cristine, she was able to promote the launch, make a really fun and clickable video, and not worry about leaking HT proprietary info. Just thought it was a smart move on her part.

I love the crowds shouting “Ben” and “Tyler”, seems like such a wholesome event :) plus Saf’s determination to drive the truck herself really shows all the sincerity! So proud of everyone!

Cristine slowly becoming more and more unhinged as the day went by was awesome 😂😂

Wow the organisation of this event was impressive! Buying the truck, getting George's team to renovate it, collabing with Escazo and Milk Lab and arranging several cross state meet & greets. It's no small task (not even an average size task). Well done Saf and Tyler for organising all this and Cristine for being the nail polish queen!

Y’all literally hosted a tour successfully. That’s crazy. Look how far we’ve come since Tanacon

I absolutely love the caffeinated, frat boy energy that Cristine expressed in this video. It was hilarious A+.😂😂

Did I cry watching this? Yes. Am I proud of Cristine? Yes.

The way they organized this so well just proves how great of creators they are. They don’t take their influence lightly and wanted to make sure everyone was safe and happy. Wished I could’ve been there ❤

Thank you all so much for the opportunity to work with you on this project. We really enjoyed meeting and working with you all. Great video.

From a marketing perspective... this is brilliantly executed. I love watching this friendship thrive over meeting fans and bonding over nail polish. I can't help but smile.

I feel like Cristine has grown so much as a business owner and entertainer, because when she started she wouldn't have enjoyed being in front of a big crowd, but here we get to see her get pumped up to share her work with the world

I love it when Safiya works with crafstmen like the truck guy. There's so much to learn from people like that

Safiya x Christine is the most wholesome collab of the century. We need more creators like these in our worlds.

Keep the truck so if you guys ever do another collab this becomes a tradition

I'm so surprised that she didn't mix every shade of holo taco together and make that color her shade 😂

As an NC EMT- THE WAY MY EARS PERKED UP WHEN I HEARD “I came straight from my emt exam!” CONGRATS GIRLIE!!!! I hope you have an amazing time on the truck!!!

Literally cried when Saf said how proud she was of Cristine. Love them both so much this was so refreshing to watch!!!🖤

I feel like no matter how old I get or how much ESclips changes, seeing a video from Safiya will always make me happy. It’s really the simple things.

the last part of safiya talking about how proud she is of cristine is the sweetest😭

i made you guys the clay bead bracelets!!! i had so much fun!!💕

The way Safiya said she is proud of Cristine at the end really made me tear up. You guys are such positive people!

Thank you guys for such a fun event! I was at stop 2 and it was such a joy to meet you both! And to get Safiya to quote my favorite quote of hers to me: "Onward, on the inexorable march towards death!"
Also, yours and Cristine's friendship is everything 💜

I have to say, this video gave me so much joy. As a big fan of Safiya and Simply, I love seeing their genuine interactions with their fans and how much love they put into this event. I giggled and smiled with such wonder at this video and I'm so glad for all the people who got to enjoy this day. :)

This collab makes me unreasonably happy and I can’t even explain why. My best attempt is simply that these two are so amazing together 💛 it’s absolutely friend goals.
And obviously a crazy amount of people agree. I can’t imagine people who didn’t know the event was going on seeing these crowds that days and being like “what’s going on?” and learning it was a nail polish event and just being sooooo confused as to why there were hundreds of people there for it. Like… YOU DONT GET IT!! Saf and Cristine are magic together 🌮🦇
It genuinely made me tear up when Saf said she was proud of Cristine. We are too! I’m proud of both of you! (All four of you!!!)
I hope you keep chewing bubble gum and kicking ass!

I cried seeing Cristine so excited to interact with the crowd and every fan cause I remember when she went to her first con and said it was exciting but overwhelming. What a wonderfully planned event and everyone who dressed up or painted their nails looked great 😭❤️✨

I only use nail polish for christmas ornaments and I really think Christine should make some special edition ornaments. it would be freaking awesome with the holo effect.

@simply & @bentendo - when are you guys moving into the truck? the 90 days *could* start now

I fully expect Safiya to make a "I drove the wienermobile" video at some point (also, George needs his own food network show!)

OMG I don’t live in the US and might never see this in person but I love seeing my girls shine and happy!
I cried at the revel part

i love how this fandom is mostly very kind millenials it brings me joy

As a 35yo-lady fan, this is the cutest most wholesome video ever and I'm crying

With Christine and they getting chocolate and tea from the places they've been in videos it feels like a huge crossover event

I like how every time Saf does a video like this shes always like 'I thought only a couple of people would come but you guys really showed up for it' we love a humble queen

I am really happy for you all! What a nice attention, and all those people you met! This will be a day to remember =D! Congratulations!

I will 10000% be ordering spirit fingers. My wedding is in November and my dress is grey. It's the perfect nail color for my dress. Also it's just gorgeous. They are all beautiful. Good job guys

The fact that Ben was just the server and he was getting into all of it just warms my cold dead heart

Cristine giving ALL THE ENERGY is so hecking adorable.

This quartet of people is very possibly my favorite thing on the internet. Y’all are just so wholesome and wonderful and I love you 💕

The collab we didnt deserve, but needed. Only Safiya goes from melting soap to building custom nail polish truck

It was really sweet of you guys to stay and get through the whole line at the last location, I'm sure the people there really appreciated it 🥰 You didn't have to, but it probably meant a lot to them! This whole video was so wholesome, you all did an awesome job on the collection, the truck, and the event. What an exciting day and video

So much respect for you guys staying late to say hi to everybody, even without the nail polish. I just know that meant so much to everyone 🥹

this video was so wholesome and i was actually smiling and laughing along qwq saf and cris are such cute besties huhuh

Congrats to the girl who became an EMT!! I'm glad I got to meet you both at the mall!

Lmaooo I've literally never seen Cristine that pumped up for anything! I love it. Must've been an insane day meeting that many people there just for you!

every time i see a title of a safiya video, i never get shocked bc she is able to do literally anything and everything

It's not cheesy at all that you are proud of your friend! This looked so fun

Not me crying when Safiya said she was so proud of Cristine 😭 This collab is everything!!! Love you both

i came to enjoy two best buds and their collab WHY AM I CRYING???? THIS IS SO WHOLESOME AND WELL DONE AND THOUGHTFUL AND AMAZING IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS AND FOR EVERYONE WHO STOPPED BY U BETTER LOCK YOUR DOORS IM COMING FOR THOSE POLISHES LIKE A REVERSE SANTA CLAUS VISIT (BASICALLY ROBBERY)

Cristine was such a vibe! Love her energy!

i started watching simply at the age of 13, im now going to be 20 in a few months and havent been able to watch any of her videos since she stopped, when i saw this on my recommendations i got so happy man

A lot of collaborations can feel like a cash grab, but as soon as Safiya said she was doing this with Christine, I was like, “Yup. That checks out.” 🤣

Why am I crying with that ending?? 😭 💖 Such magic you both create and such a beautiful friendship. Never stop shining 🖤💿🦇 💜🦇 💿🖤

“Have we lost the plot yet??? Or are we still on it” oh how I have been there. 😂 been waiting for this video and I’m so excited to see it, thank you for sharing your wacky adventures with us ❤

This is the type of collaboration we all look forward to. It's entertaining to see these two come up with all sorts of creative ideas. No wonder why their friendship still stands strong.

This made me so happy. Only sad part is I wish I could have attended. Saf, you are such a sweet & supportive friend & you are both boss babes kicking butt! Keep rocking it & I hope I can attend next time! 🦇💅❤

everything about this is amazing!! you can really tell how much thought, passion, and time went into this project/video. have my fingers crossed that 'spirit fingers' gets restocked because in looove with that shade omg

im convinced saf and cristine will actually discover a new colour

They're both chaotic friends love it✨😂😭

2:41 It is magical it's like grey but with this hot pink shimmer!
17:12 Whoa their fans are so civil and chill! They're aren't swarming her like vultures...
23:11 BEYYYYN

I love the duality of Saf and Simply, she brings saf out of her comfort zone to be equally as batty 🤩🥰 prime examples of amazing humans.

This may sound odd, but all I kept thinking throughout this video is those influencers that people assert "We don't claim them" for their connection from being from a country or other, for whatever reason.. and how I feel TOTALLY THE OPPOSITE WAY for Cristine and Beyn, even if the event wasn't in Canada ❤🥰 This was so wholesome and such fun to watch, it looks like everyone had a great time!! Such a meaningful collab, you 4 being such good friends and all too! Well done on a super successful event day!! ❤❤ I can't help but wonder what happens to the truck now though after seeing all the work that went into it? 🤔😉

This was SO fun and enjoyable. I'd even say downright joyful. Really enjoyed this video.

To hear the fans call BEEEYYNNN just like Cristine, and also hear the fan chants Ben's and Tyler's name makes me realize that parasocial relationship can be so wholesome and healthy.. I hope Safiya, Tyler, Simply and Beyn are always surrounded by healthy and supportive fans

I have never seen Cristine with this much hype and screaming lol

LETS GOOOO BAT BESTIE. Everyone was so respectful and so well mannered.

It's nice to see how respectful the fans are!

So much fun, the polish is amazing as is the truck, and that day sounds Exhausting!

Christine so full of energy and excitement was a highlight

Seeing how happy you guys are is just the seratonin I needed today. You bith never fail to make my days better

Love to see your friendship and collab work! Spreading joy and all the mail art is Stunning! Such a good creative outlet.

I got teary eyed watching this when y’all saw the line… the support you receive is super cute ❤

It's never too cheesey to celebrate friends and success! I think you nailed it!

Truly admire their friendship 🖤💜🖤💜

Seeing ben thrive in all this chaos is hilarious, I have never seen him so psyched💀💀💀

This looked like so much fun, I felt emotional watching it.

I couldn’t stop smirking for the whole video. I’m so happy for you guys. Wish I could have been there!

Not me crying at the end 🥹🥹 this was so beautiful!!!! The support pouring all around 🥹🥹🥹🥹

So proud of both of you! Literally crying to see the friendship and achievement culminate in such a great experience and cool collab :) You guys rock!

Ben being the main side character is just a character arc I did not expect but had me absolutely smiling. I adore it!!

Gutted its sold out instantly, but so proud of you all! Amazing collection

Congrats on this massive collab! 💜🖤💜
Even if the truck is decked out for this specific collab, it's definitely fit for a road trip meet & greet. One can dream! 😄

This is so cool!! I love how many people came out, that must have been the most rewarding thing! Congratulations on the collab and that truck is fiendishly fantastic. Well done!!

What a wonderful experience! What a wonderful video 😍 felt like I was there. So happy for you guys and both your teams making this happen.

This is greatly executed.inlove watching this friendship over meeting fans and bonding over nail polish.

Safiya is Goth Barbie! She does every job. 😂

That. Was. Amazing. I don't what I expected when I started this video but I had happy tears through so much of it!

Seriously congratulations to both trams for such an amazing launch. I can't wait for Brucie, Bat B*tch, Spirit Fingers coming my way. You all really nailed this collection by staying true! 🦇🌙

My wife and I are both fans of Safiya and Holo Taco so this was perfect. Ordered the bat b*tch bundle and cannot wait to get them.

Congratulations ladies on being fearless in business and driving. You inspired so many ladies this day. Keep it coming and going.
