- Hey friends!
Welcome to a new series called The Best Of where I go over my Brand Favorites! So many of you have asked for a series like this for a while & I figured i should start with mooncat since their Lunar Eclipse Sale is right around the corner 👀
I hope you enjoyed this style of video where its me talking about one brand specifically. obviously since its the BEST of, i’m gonna focus on my favs/recs, but I still think its important to mention some things I don’t like! I hope I did a good job in sharing some of those concerns that have existed up until a few months ago, I know mooncat definitely had a bit of a bad rap for a while when it came to their formulas and even swatch photos, but I genuinely think they’ve listened to the customer feedback and improved those issues. But let me know what you think so I can improve on it for the next video :)
Speaking of, let me know what brand you’d want me to share next!! 🤗
You can shop these shades [except Superclusterfck, i forgot that was retired] at www.mooncat.com BUT i would wait for their 20% Lunar Eclipse sale from Nov 3-12 ✨
I received the majority of these in previous PR, but all thoughts & opinions are honest & my own :)

Thanks for watching! 🤗

this is such a great idea! Or a terrible one... depending on people's wallets :D *aggressively slams thumbs up button*
LOLL I knoww, I don’t exactly want to like encourage people to shop more than necessary, and it doesn’t help I have a lot of favorites haha 🙈 but I had this series in mind to go up before any sales so at least it’ll be “worth it” for those planning to shop anyway 😅
You know my Mooncat addiction is bad when I can identify most of these just from the thumbnail 🤷🏾♀️
yasss haha love to hear that! are there any new ones you’re planning to get for the sale?
Let me tell you the OBSESSION 🤩that I have with Mooncat and ILNP is as intense as the same obsession I have with your and Kelli Marissa’s channel. Your comparisons make the difference in my nail polish decision process.
I like to hear, you consider yourself as a cute and airy person, because I’m also like that. I just can’t stop repeating this throughout my comments. This also helps me to decide what to add to my collection.
On the other hand, I truly believe that “Curse of Calypso” and “Ghost of Hecate” should be sell just as a duo. Those two are my HOLY GRAILS from mooncat. I recently got “Mermaid bait and I’m waiting until January to wear it because it gives me icy vibes even though it is a summer shade. I feel like it going to become in another sacred shade like these two that you also love.
You also made me buy for this lunar sale the shade “Take me to your leader”. You accurately described my sensation when I got “Flight of the Monarch’s”. I want that deep purple to stand out more and I can’t wait to have it.
Lastly, I’d like to tell you that I loveeeee this series. So perfect for this Black Friday/ sale season. Watching this series I came up with the idea if you could consider creating a series of your favorite shades from each brand that have departed/discontinue that we could posible buy from a distash.
I had so many things to tell you. I truly appreciate your content and thanks for the wonderful videos. I love to watch them to distress at the end of the day.
aw thank you SO much Ana, truly such a sweet compliment that you love my channel as much as Kelli’s, it really means soo much 🥹🥰
& haha i’m glad you also identify as someone cute & airy! & that you can trust my tastes in polishes that fit that aesthetic hehe 🌸☁️✨
I couldnt agree more about Curse of Calypso and Ghosts of Hecate being a duo!! maybe they will at some point, i love when brands put together little duos or bundles! omg Mermaid Bait is sooo pretty!! that and High Fructose are so so mesmerizing and i neeed like a true tinkerbell green in that finish 🤩
and omg yay I hope you LOVE Take Me To Your Leader!! i know everyone and their mom loves/recommends FotM (and for good reason lol) but people neeeed to remember TMTYL exists!! it really is such a pretty purple!
I’m so happy you love this series!! 💓💓 and OMG I had a similar idea before wanting to do a video on discontinued polishes that i want to come back or yeah to be on the lookout for in destashes! but I figured for me it would be one video talking about multiple brands only bc I’m not familiar with that many discontinued shades to do a series 😅 I’ll have to flesh it out but i’m so glad you’re already excited for something like that!
Great new series! I’m excited. I have a HUGE Mooncat collection, but I’ve only opened a few bottles thus far. You made me want to go and swatch them all haha, to see what my absolute favorites are. Definitely continue talking about issues you’ve had with each brand you review because that helps your viewers make an informed decision and make you look and sound more credible. Will you please do ILNP next? I love that brand so much and I reach for their lacquers often. I’m curious to see if any of your favorites will align with mine :)
thank you so much Alexia, so glad you enjoyed this new series! 😁 yess i would love to hear what your fav mooncats are haha so crazy to think you havent worn many of them! 😝 yess I was definitely planning on doing ILNP next, even though i only have a fraction of their catalogue lol i figured i could talk about some shades that are in MY wishlist too 🤣 hope you’ll enjoy that one!
I agree! ILNP next please ❤
thank you soooo much for this! i’ve always felt like you’re very real with your opinions and reviews so getting your recs for the sale is great! too bad i want everything from mooncat already😭😭😭
tysm Nick!! that really means a lot :) and ahh i know its so hard to narrow it down! would love to know what you end up getting though 🤩
Beautiful picks! I am a recent mooncat fan and it is great to see and hear about your faves! I appreciate that you address different aspects of the brand as well. My wishlist is definitely growing! 😅 Thanks so much for sharing!
thank you so much!! i really appreciate that :) and ahh i can’t wait to hear what you end up getting!! 🛍️
Love this style of video!! I got into indie polish about a year ago, and even that was a gradual progression from one brand, to a few, to many, so there are lots of collections, shades, and backstories about different brands that I missed out on, so these kind of videos are always super helpful! Now if I'm shopping destashes I can keep my eye out for some older colors I want to pick up!
yay i love that!! haha yess its always like this snowball effect getting into indies 😝 excited to hear what you end up shopping!
Great vid! I love this! I'm excited for your future brand videos :D
yay thank you so much!! 😁😁🫶🏼
OBSESSED by the nail polish you're wearing in this video. It's gorgeous!
so glad you love it! in case you missed it in the description, its Sin Eater 😈
I love mooncat and it was great to see your faves! I also adore a midsummer's dream, flight of the monarchs, and stumped!
love to hear that! 😄 they really make some beautiful polishes! ✨
I enjoyed this video so much! My wishlist is out of control and I’ve got to pare it down before I make a purchase Friday, this was a really helpful review 🥰
i’m so glad you found this helpful!! i cant wait to hear what your haul ends up being hehe i know its tempting to want to grab everything 🙈
I'm so excited for this series!!! Will you do one for Olive Ave? I hadn't heard of them before finding your channel and would love a video like this about them too!!!❤❤❤
I definitely can! I figured people would want to see Cirque or ILNP so I’ll be prioritizing those but definitely would love to share some fav OAPs too! ☺️
@@PolishedYogi honestly, I'd love those too!! This is a great idea 😁
Omg yay!! I'm getting excited.. gotta get my wishlist loaded up! 🌙🐈⬛
yayyy can’t wait to hear what you end up getting 🤩
Love this idea for a series! I may have to add House of Hades to my wishlist! Velvet Rose too, I wasn't too happy with Cirque's Bae, it just didn't seem pink enough for me, but Velvet Rose looks like it would hit the spot!
yay happy to hear that! 🥰 and ahh yeah I did like Cirque’s BAE at first, but once Velvet Rose came out I was like okay THIS is what i wanted BAE to be 🤣😅 soo i think you’ll love it! 💖
Love this video! I could listen to you talk about polish all day! 🥰👏🏻💖 Can’t wait to see you go over some other brands! I am also a BIG fan of the getting even nail primer! It is prob my fav I have tried. Last sale I picked up a few backups ☺️, and also of the nail elixir! It is such a good oil! And getting it during the sale makes it seem like such a better value! I’m not going to pick up a ton during the MC sale this time, but for sure I’ll be getting the new Red Magnetic they are launching for the sale. It looks so pretty! ❤️ And also the Band Of Misfits Set. 👏🏻
yay so happy to hear that Janet hehe thank you!! i knoww once you said it was your favorite i was like ok i need to try this again lol. so glad you love the oil too! i definitely can only recommend getting it during the sale haha 😝 ahh i can’t wait to see more swatches of that red magnetic! it looks gorg 👀♥️✨ exciting you’ll be getting that & the Band of Misfits set though! 😍🛍️
@@PolishedYogi I honestly am so proud of myself holding out as long as I have for the band of misfits! 😆 I have been wanting them so bad! And I am so glad you gave the primer another try! I love that it is pink! And it just goes on so smooth! 👏🏻
Looove this idea!!!! And mooncat is so special!!!
yayy so happy to hear that! 😁✨
Love this idea. The Halloween nightmare before Christmas box was my first order with them and I added in stumped. I’m very impressed with them so it’s nice to see more to consider
oh thats so exciting the NBC box and Stumped was your first order!! glad to hear you’re loving them so far, would love to know what you end up getting from their sale if you shop it! :)
It's a cool concept, but I think I'd like it better if you did a new swatch, at least one nail for each polish featured, but I get that would be a lot more work.
thank you! i appreciate the feedback and definitely do think including a swatch clip would be helpful too, but yeah it just would take too long esp considering i want to get these up in the next few weeks 😅 will def keep it in mind if i continue this series or revisit it though :)
I think a close up of the bottle would do it for me personally
Love this series! And I agree it would help but I do get why you can’t. Maybe you can add in your old swatch vids since you’ve swatched a couple of them before!
building my cart as i watch this! thanks for your recs!!
omg yay!! would love to know what you end up getting, honestly its hard to go wrong with mooncat’s shades 🤩✨
@@PolishedYogi i ended up getting a doll's house, forbidden cove, moonjelly and take me to your leader! i had sooo many shades in my wishlist and had to really narrow down otherwise it would be too much $$ lol
Loved this video. So helpful when choosing the Polish i wanted to buy when it was on sale. 😃
thank you!! i’m so glad you found this helpful :)
I love this video series idea!!!! I’m going to need to get a second job to keep up with all of these amazing polishes lol.
Love sharing the good with the bad. Since I’ve mostly only dabbled in Holo Taco, I’d request that one. I’m curious if our faves align!
yay thank youu!! so glad you love it 😁 and hahah i knoww 🙈💸 and yes definitely planning on Holo Taco soon, i dont have an extensive collection but would still love to talk about my favs and maybe even whats on MY wishlist lol 😝🛍️
I only just got into indie nail polish (or nail polish at all) and Mooncat was the first I discovered. I've got a lot of the same ones you have, though I'm not a pale pink person, but the shimmers, shines, and flakes, yummmm. Thank you for sharing. I do like favorites videos, because it means people have used the polishes enough to know if the formula works in the 'real world', not just for a swatch.
oh fun!! mooncat is a great gateway brand lol they have so many amazing polishes! glad you enjoyed this video too ☺️
love this favorite video for a specific brand! If you do it for another brand would you be able to swatch them in the video? It would be helpful to better see all the dimensions and colors of the polishes.
i will definitely try that for the next videos! it just adds a lot more work that idk if i have time for considering i want to have them up before any of their respective sales 😅 but i do have swatches of almost all of them on my channel already :)
Great idea to feature the best of…in a brand. I’m still a newbie to polish but especially to Indies and boutique polish brands and find this series extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing your favorites and getting these videos out in time for the sales. I would love you to feature KBShimmer and ILNP. Do they also have Black Friday sales? You mentioned you use thinner to make thick polishes more manageable…which one do you like best? Thanks again and I look forward to the other videos😊🫶🏼
thank you!! so glad to hear this series is insightful, hopefully future videos will be too! i definitely was planning on ILNP but I sadly don’t have enough KB Shimmers to do a video on them i think 😖 i know ILNP does 25% off but don’t remember how much KB does, i would imagine 20% like other indie brands.
for thinners i actually have 2! the one i usually use is from Beauty Secrets found at Sallys, that gets the job done for the majority of polishes but it contains heptane which is actually bad for glitter polishes! so i also have a bottle of OPI’s thinner exclusively for glitters. i actually think KB shimmer has a heptane free thinner so maybe you can add that to your cart, its always recommended on reddit!
@@PolishedYogiThank you so much for the thinner recommendations. I look forward to your ILNP must haves😊🫶🏼
Thanks for sharing, this gave me some ideas for my Mooncat wishlist. Would be great if the you continue, and if the search pictures could be bigger. It's hard to get a good sense of the polish from the small pictures, although your descriptions were detailed enough to get the idea
that’s so exciting to hear, glad this was helpful! and ty for the feedback, i can definitely make photos larger for future vids if i have them, but was planning on including close up bottle & swatch clips too!
I have so many of these!☺ But I still added a couple to my wishlist! I'm looking forward to see what November's rewards polishes are going to be!
yay so exciting!! omg yes i completely forgot to remind people about checking their rewards and even doing the extra stuff to get more points to redeem lol! i hope Nov’s selection is a good one 🤞🏼
Yesssss! I love this!
yay glad to hear that!! 😁
I love Mooncat! They’re always doing something interesting. My top recommendations from this brand (in no particular order) are:
Curiosity’s Prey,
Mercury’s Tears,
Raven,
Abandoned Boardwalks,
Poseidon’s Prize,
Weeping Willow,
Shroomdom,
Strangeberry,
Gates of Hell,
Merekitten and
Midnight Rider.
I also agree about their base and top coats being great and I love their nail oil. Last, I also love the topper Moondust.
totally agree! they have some gorgeous finishes 🤩 you have great recs too! and omg yess i loveeee moondust, but I can’t in good conscious recommend it when i know you can get China Glaze’s Fairy Dust for a fraction of the price 🙈 still gorgeous though lol ✨
I've been looking at Moon Cat. Haven't purchased anything yet, but this helps a lot. Thank you!
so glad this helps! would love to know if you end up getting anything, feel free to update me next week haha 😁
@@PolishedYogi House of Hades, Sin Eater and Fake Halo are on my wish list for sure.
Love this, thank you for sharing!! I would love to see your ILNP picks or Holo Taco if you would feel so compelled!
thank you so much!! yess was definitely planning on ILNP next haha i dont have as many Holo Taco shades but still would love to share my picks! 😁
@@PolishedYogi can’t wait for whatever you come up with!! 😁
I’ve been tweaking my mooncat wishlist planning ahead for black friday! I’m coveting sand viper, stumped, forbidden cove and haunted forest 🖤 i love their technicolor shades! That collection was my intro to the brand. I got paradise found & neverland. I will probably get sweet nightmare spring/summer if its still around. i collect peris.💜 buuut, my favorites from them so far are flying submarine & poisonberry. Poisonberry is just unreal! And flying submarine is just so cool and scrumptious.
yayy thats awesome! such a great haul 🤩🤩 and omg yeah Neverland is such a great green too!! it really is so hard to pick favs lol. i”m sure Sweet Nightmare will still be around tho, it seems like a popular color! yeah Poisonberry is another pretty one, soo glowy! i wish I liked Flying Submarine more 🙈 but i can’t get rid of it and ruin the rainbow! i wonder if they plan on releasing something to fill that gap 🤔
@@PolishedYogi hehe i figure flying submarine might be a polarizing color 😬 - definitely not for everyone! But i fell in looove lol. I even got shaka from cirque colors too! I saw mooncat’s grays today and smokescreen is hollering at me! 🐀🎀🎆🗣️ like - ma’am! It would be my 1st magnetic if i do get it 🥰
ooo mooncat’s Smokescreen is stunninggg!! definitely a great first magnetic imo 😉🤩
Definitely adding HOH to my wishlist for the lunar sale
yesss its SOO good! 🤩💙
Polishes dry via solvents evaporating. Quick dry top coats have solvents picked specifically because they evaporate quickly. Quick dry top coats will get thicker after a while because every time you open the bottle, solvents evaporate from the bottle. If the bottle neck and cap threads have polish on them, the cap won’t close tightly. Any time the cap isn’t closed tightly, tiny amounts of air gets in and solvents escape. All of that happens in all polishes, but especially quick dry top coats because their solvents evaporate quicker than others. I always have to add thinner to my top coats and my base coats after a bit. (I’m sure you know that. This information is just for anyone interested. I’m a nail information nerd and love facts about nails and nail products.)
hehe yes I did know this but appreciate you sharing in case someone else doesn’t know! 🫶🏼
The shimmers absolutely got me so, so much and now I have to do some narrowing down myself with all the ethereal shimmers you've mentioned! 😭
I think so far, I'm determined to get Midsummer's Dream and House of Hades! 🥺
i knowww they really have so many beauties!! those 2 are SO good though 😍😍
@@PolishedYogi Update: I immediately got them with some nail art tools! :'D
yayy i hope they arrive soon! I only ordered the new magnetic and some replacement brushes and already got them in today 🤯
@PolishedYogi OH WHAT-- I hope so too! Though I can say that I need to expect shipping to take longer cus of this time of year, so I have to be patient! 🥹🤍
I agree with creams being two coater max. If it's reviewed as a 3 coater I won't buy it.
Great review! I haven't bought Mooncat yet. But I quite liked a couple you showed. I mean, Christmas and Black Friday are coming 🤔
so glad you agree! yeah its an immediate turn off for me when i hear a cream is 3 coats. and ohh well mooncat is currently having their version of a Black Friday sale (called Lunar Eclipse sale) until the 11th i believe, so I hope you check them out! 🤩✨
i’m just here to slander essie's ballet slippers
Wish I'd have watched this before placing my order this morning 😭
oh nooo lol 😅 what did you get though??
this was a great and fun vid! BF is coming and everyone is excited haha.
seconding the commenter who asked for a closeup of the bottle, if possible! but we defn understand it's a lot of work and the time-crunch
thank you so much!! haha yess even though i won’t be shopping mooncat this time i’m def still excited!! and ahh yeah it’ll be tough, i can at least try to include a close up bottle shot but can’t guarantee swatch clips 🥲 good thing i have swatched the majority of the polishes i shared in previous videos at least, but i’ll do my best to do that for future vids!
I love this idea! But definitely feel like I need to go hunt around for swatches, so would love if you added swatches. I know it seems redundant to you but I think it makes it more cohesive.
I hope this doesn’t sound too negative! I really enjoyed all your recommendations! Surprisingly, the only one o have is Stumped- and Absolutely Love it! You have convinced me I need A Midsummer’s Dream, Sand Viper, House of Hades, Flight of the Monarchs and Everybody Scream! Lol I’m also not a huge magnetic person, but Velvet Rose looks lovely. 🥰💕
Oh also lol ILNP! Would love to see your favorites!
no not negative at all! i completely understand and even agree - it just would be a lot of extra work to include swatch clips which is why i tried to include photos i had 😅 i’m gonna try my best for the next video though! 🙏 and yes i was actually planning for that to be ILNP!! but yayy i’m glad you’re convinced on those shades, they really are so so pretty I know you’re gonna love them! 🤩🤩
@@PolishedYogi Woohoo!!! Sooo excited for ILNP!! Yeah, I understand it’s a whole lot of work, so def annoying request lol.
I’ll let you know if I get them and what I think 🥰 I have to wait a bit budget-wise lol
Theres a high pitched droning/humming noise in the bg of your filmed audio :) not sure if there's anything you can do about it, just a heads up!
Love the video, excited for the mooncat sale! Ive been waiting to get house of hades and pandemonium for a while :>
so sorry about that, i’m pretty sure thats our HVAC which is on the other side of the wall from my desk 🥲 but glad you’re excited about the sale! ohh those two are STUNNING, you’re gonna love them!! 💙❤️🔥
yess ive been putting together a list for BF! taking notes 📝
haha yess we love being prepared for the upcoming sales!! would love to know what you end up getting :)
Love the new series! When you have a swatch picture, can you leave it up for longer please? 🙏
thank you!! and yes i definitely can do that!
yay! thank you!!@@PolishedYogi
This is great idea! It helps those of us new to the polish world❤
I have and love their Speed Demon Top Coat!
Not Today Satan is so gorgeous!!
Omg Fake Halo😮
I have Ghost if Hecate and Sandviper and I couldn’t stop stating at my nails when I wore them! I’m adding Ghost of Calypso. Actually, since I am saving this video I’m just gonna go though the shimmers here and see if they are in my Mooncat cart 😅
Moon Fairy is beautiful. I also love the Fool’s Gold topper!
Tectonic Shift is my fave between that and Catfished.
House of Hades should be currency 😮💨😮💨 it’s insanely beautiful💙 Jaw dropping is a perfect description for it.
Ahh I’m a MF Supernova is gorgeous!
Thank you so much for this video! I can’t wait for your other Best Of videos💃🏿💃🏿
Also your makeup is always so lovely💕💕
yay that makes me so happy to hear! i’m so excited to share more 😁 so glad you also love their speed demon top coat too, its insane how fast it dries for me! so glad you already have & love some of these that i shared, they really are soo stunning and leave you staring at your nails 🤩 and aw thank you so much! 🥰🫶🏼💖
omg House of Hades... I don't usually buy colours like that but it spoke to me and let me tell you, I have gotten so many compliments on my nails from straight men when I wear it lol
LOL isn’t it just something else??? those flakies are insane, i’m convinced there’s witchcraft in there too 😆🤩💙✨
House of Hades is such a must 😍😍😍
absolutelyyyy!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Gah! So many beautiful polishes 😂😊
I know right!! they really know how to make some beautifuuuul shades!
@@PolishedYogi they sure do, I have bought two of the shades from there that are like I think gonna be discontinued or already are and I wasn't disappointed by the epic shades.
I keep going to my favorite polish brands and loading my cart with the new things - Just to remember that Black Friday is around the corner... I must hold out just a little longer!
i totally feel that!! i’m prepping my wishlists too hehe just need to wait for the BF announcements and set my alarms for them 😝
Hope u give us a heads up about the sales
yeah I updated my description to include the sale dates! :)
I just bought my 1st 3 Mooncat to try - Molten Lava, House of Hades, & Artemis’ Deathkiss. People seem to either love or hate this brand so I’m a little nervous 😂
yayy so exciting, those are beautiful polishes!! and agh yeah it sucks how hit & miss their formulas were for a while, but yours should feel a lot better esp with the new brushes! i think HoH is the only one that has had a disclaimer about getting thicker over time bc of the pigment.
Me: I'm gonna skip the sale, I'm gonna skip the sale...
2 minutes into this video: *adds to wishlist*
🙈🙈 i’m sorryy lol! would love to know whats on your wishlist & what you actually pick up in the end!
@@PolishedYogi I picked up Pandemonium, House of Hades, Not Today Satan, Dragon Scales, and Getting Even Nail Primer! And it was actually your rec for the Nail Primer that made me decide to put in an order 😆 I'm excited to see how the pink-y base looks on me. The others were just next in line on my ever-growing wishlist!
How close are Rue Morgue and The 13th Hour? I have RM but considering 13th for the sale tomorrow.
i can share a comparison in my IG stories after lunch lol, but 13th Hour is like the blue version of Access Denied where its a black base with tiny blue shimmers, but Rue Morgue is a deep sapphire/indigo base with slightly larger shimmer that also shifts to purple. so overall more blue while 13th has more of a black base, similar but not dupes imo!
I love flight of the monarchs, but overall struggle with the formulas from this brand for some reason.
Yeah some of their formulas are a little thick :/ it seems to be hit or miss depending on the batches? I had thought they refined their formulas in recent months, but Michelle confirmed somewhere that they didn’t, that the new brushes are actually what helped with application, so maybe if you have a few other shades you can pick up some replacement brushes to try out?
I contacted customer service about the thicker brush for the creme polish, they sent me a replacement brush which was the new paddle thinner brush that are in the new polishes
oh awesome, that’s great to hear that even if you get an old brush, they’d be willing to send a replacement!
What was the sale they had? I missed it 😢 I’ve been wanting to try this brand too! Will they have another sale any time soon?
It’s called their Lunar Sale! They have them twice a year where everything is 20% off, the next one will be in a few months :)
How does the mooncat speed demon top coat compare to holo taco glossy top coat?
i’ve only recently started using Holo Taco’s but I would say they’re pretty similar in terms of dry time, but Holo Taco feels thinner to me, like its a little less plump than mooncat? but my HT bottle is newer, i havent had to add thinner to it yet.
I love the idea of this video! It’s been hard for me to watch due to the background buzzing the entire time. :(
thank you so much! and i’m so sorry about that, its the fan of our hvac which is on the other side of the wall 🥲 it’s been driving me crazy lately too!
There is Serpent's Tongue and Sealed with a Hiss. I don't know if you meant Serpent's Tongue not Serpent's Hiss? I have both of those polishes so caught that (okay - I have 71 Mooncat polishes but who doesn't LOL)...
LOL omg i can’t believe i just combined the names 🤣 i meant Serpent’s Tongue !! but Sealed With A Hiss is also great hahah and yeah exactly, i’m sure a lotttt of people will have 70+ mooncats after the sale 😅💸
I think they've discontinued all the chonky holo polishes except BLAME MY STAR SIGN (superclusterfck and i'm a mf supernova are dearly departed).
I'm a MF supernova is still available
:)
OMG how did i forget they also retired superclusterfck 😭😭 sorry i should’ve double checked that, but at least I’m a MF Supernova is still available 🌟
@@favabeanyOOhh! Thank you for checking! They don't have it under Holographics for some reason! 😅
Kind of annoying that considering you own all of these and considering how drastically different they can be from bottle to nail, you didn't show swatches for all of them. Like you even said, "I can't find my swatch for this" on one of them...but you're holding the bottle right there. 🤔
i didn’t have time to reswatch all of these for this video specifically, but almost all of them do exist on my channel. all the ones i shared I would say have very accurate website photos too if you wanted to go off of those 😊
Best of holo taco?
while my Holo Taco collection isn’t as extensive, i def would love to share my favs!!
@@PolishedYogi jeejjj 🥰🥰
SO NO SWATCHES? YOURE JUST TALKING?????
lmao yes, if you read any of the comments you would see that this was a last minute video idea & didn’t have time to do swatches! i have a whole playlist of mooncat collection swatches linked at the end
I’m new to mooncat and am searching for Robotica and tell tale heart if anyone reading this wants to sell pls let me know! 🫶🏼
ooh good luck! 🤞🏼 I think you might have a better chance asking reddit, specifically r/RedditLaqueristaSwap though!
@@PolishedYogi oh! I’ll check that out thanks so much!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
