Youtuber
Cristine Rotenberg is a Canadian YouTuber, entrepreneur, and former child actress born on October 17, 1988, in Richmond Hill, Ontario. She gained worldwide fame through her Simply Nailogical YouTube channel, launched in 2014, which amassed over 7 million subscribers with humorous vlogs on nail art, tutorials, and challenges centered around holographic (holo) polishes and "holosexuality"—a playful term she coined for love of rainbow-shifting colors. Known for viral videos like painting 100 layers of nail polish, she also runs a secondary channel, Simply Not Logical, for behind-the-scenes and bloopers.
In 2019, Rotenberg founded Holo Taco, her own nail polish brand specializing in high-quality special effects polishes like holographic topcoats and iridescent shades, which has sold millions of bottles and stems from a fan-mispronounced "top coat" pun in her videos. She holds a master's degree in sociology from Carleton University and previously worked as a crime statistics analyst for Statistics Canada, contributing to reports on topics like sexual assault amid the #MeToo movement.
As a child from 1996 to 2001, she appeared in over 15 commercials for products like Furby and in a theatrical Wizard of Oz production, plus the 2002 TV movie Charms for the Easy Life, before prioritizing education. Rotenberg is bilingual in English and French, shares her life with cats Menchie and Zyler, and supports fans through initiatives like annual tuition giveaways and the Cristine Rotenberg Scholarship for Academic and Creative Pursuits at Carleton University, funding post-secondary education.
