Style Theory: Season 2 - 38 Episode s
2x1 - I Tried the 1,000 Layer Nail Polish Challenge
January 13, 2024
If you’re one of the 50 million people who watched the simplynailogical videos putting on 100+ coats of nail polish, then you know nails can get pretty out of control. Well, we decided to take the 100 layers challenge idea and kick it up a notch by trying to apply 1,000+ layers of nail polish to a hand. Can it be done? Can we make nail art pretty enough to go viral on TikTok? Will HopeScope end up reacting to this “satisfying” creation? And will we reach the top of #PolishMountain? Today, loyal Theorists, we find out in this ultimate nails challenge!
2x2 - Can Caffeine Beauty Products ENERGIZE You?
January 27, 2024
Are caffeine skincare products worth it? Like, do the serums, scrubs, and facemasks actually give you as much energy as, let’s say, a Diet Coke, Monster Energy, Red Bull, or even coffee? Are you actually absorbing that energy through your skin? We put our caffeine addictions to the side to first go caffeine free and then test a new skincare routine. Just like Mia Maples loves to do with viral TikTok products and HopeScope with satisfying viral products, we’re experimenting with a whole new routine that could change the way we take care of our skins… or it may just be a bunch of bunk!
2x3 - I Hired a Stylist to Dress Me
February 10, 2024
After seeing the fun videos full of fashion inspo from Ellbat (I Hired a Stylist and Stylist to Dress Me for a Week) and Mia Maples (I Hired 3 Stylists with Different Aesthetics to Style Me), we’ve decided to test the world of online personal stylists for ourselves. Today we’re testing Fiverr vs Stich Fix to see if any of these digital personal stylists are worth it. What is the cost? Can Ai really determine what we should wear? And can we actually find a new look in this process? C’mon, get ready with us as we try on a whole new wardrobe!
2x4 - Skincare is a SCAM?!
February 24, 2024
Which skincare products do YOU use, loyal Theorist? Neutrogena? CeraVe? Cetaphil? Pond’s? Well, you may want to take a CLOSER look at the label. It turns out that the skincare industry may have been lying to us for years about what’s really hidden inside of their products. Sorry, Mia Maples, but you may think twice before doing about skincare test video because this could change your daily skincare routine FOREVER.

2x7 - I Shopped Like a BILLIONAIRE on Temu
March 29, 2024
If you watched the Super Bowl, then you saw a whole lot of Travis Kelce, incredible coverage on Taylor Swift, and a very questionable ad on Temu. You probably remember the ad well, right? Temu: shop like a billionaire. It played, like, 500 times throughout the game. But can you _actually_ shop like a BILLIONAIRE on Temu? If FaZe Rug, HopeScope, Mia Maples, and the hundreds of other YouTuber videos have shown us anything about the brand, the answer is a strong NO. But we had to find out for ourselves. Will we walk around looking like tech moguls Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Mark Cuban? Can we strut in a dress as expensive as Taylor Swift’s? Or will the Temu dupes make our space look like Kim Kardashian’s Sknn office decor with a bunch of Donald Judd dupes? C’mon, loyal Theorist, let’s shop like billionaires!

2x10 - Why Does Gen Z Look SO Old?
May 11, 2024
Theorist, does Gen Z look older than other generations like Baby Boomers and Millennials? Everyone on the internet seems to think so thanks to TikToker Jordan Howlett. But is it even true? Well, we that know Gen Z celebs like Reneé Rapp, Millie Bobby Brown, and Kylie Jenner tend to look older than they look, so that's a start. So then... WHY is this the case?

2x13 - Ai Could KILL Your Favorite Creator!
June 8, 2024
Your favorite influencer may be turning into Ai... No, we're not talking about Vtubers, we're talking about companies like Meta turning creators and influencers into Ai chatbots. From MrBeast to Kendall Jenner to Charli D'Amelio to Tom Brady, they've all signed some Ai rights over to Zuck. But what exactly are the Ai creators like Kwebbelkop, Lil Miquela, and others doing?

July 13, 2024
Are crocs truly the ultimate active footwear? After seeing @hopescope test out _every_ single Croc, from survival Crocs to Crocs ballet flats, we knew we had to try them out. Millennials started wearing Crocs as an everyday shoe, but Gen Z and Gen Alpha have taken it to the next level. Some members of Croc Nation, like Ash of @GTLive , are actually wearing Crocs to the gym! That's sport mode on a whole other level. Today we're going through a whole series of tests to see if Crocs can _really_ walk the walk.

What do they ALL have in common? A link back to anime. In this video we'll reveal the secret influences of Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, and more on our culture.
2x18 - Temu Needs to STOP Stealing from Creators!
July 27, 2024
A few weeks ago, creator MiaMaples posted a video called "Temu Stole From Me," where she explained how the company took her name, image, and likeness to promote and sell a product. Sounds kind of familiar, right? If you've followed Style Theory over the past year, you'll remember our video about how SHEIN did something similar to Cassey Ho (@blogilates) of POPFLEX. If you follow @hopescope you may know she's posted multiple videos buying brands that stole her videos for ads. She was able to poke fun at the matter, whereas creators like Cassey, Mia, CassandraBankson, and simplynailogical all made more serious videos discussing the unfortunate topic. So what's the deal with these shady business practices from SHEIN and Temu? What happened and how do they keep getting away with it?
