"Walking down the aisle" part had me dead ☠ I love this video idea! The combinations are so fun to see. Thank you for dedicating so much time to this for us 🫡
Hi Linrey! I am a nail tech and I believe Michelle from mooncat nails have a layer of hard gel on them. That would make the color of that green polish that is so obviously different, swatch different. It would make sense because her nails are not stained when you watch her swatch. :) Nothing wrong with it, I'm just thinking that unlike holo tacos nails, I don't think Michelles are totally natural. :) just my thoughts. I could be totally wrong.
I feel like the difference between naming polishes after gambling verses toxic relationships is that the gambling names make it seem fun or desirable. But with the mooncat collection, it doesn't make the toxicity seem desirable, it's just commenting on something that happens, both in the myths and in people's lives. It feels less "yay toxic relationships!" and more "yeah, this is something people deal with" if that makes sense
Girlll this was such a fun video! I'm excited for more vids like this, I'd love to see you try to dupe out the new Holo Taco collection or some HT that come out in the future! Even if you get a collection it would be cool to see them compared to the dupes tbh. Keep it up, i adore your videos, you're so fun and I'm crossing my fingers n you hitting the 1000 milestone soon
Such a helpful videos for those who haven’t brought the set. I brought the set and wish I watched this before 😩 but I kind of like the set but I know I have to build it up more.
Loved this concept for a video! Please do more!! Plus, the length of the video meant I got to clean out my dresser before moving so I appreciated how thorough you were.
I'm subbing in hopes you get your monetization! Also, I bought two polishes from this collection and they came the other day and I can't wait to try them!
I loved loved this video and this new series and "big promise" lol. This was a lot of fun and a great way to remember to take a look at what I already have - look close before I hit that buy cart button. 😂 Thanks for the hard work, editing Linry!
Those mooncat shimmers are micro so more glowy than the HT toppers. The mooncat shimmers were very saturated magenta, violet and cobalt. You did a great job, fantastic way to enjoy what you already own in new ways. ❤
This is a fun idea!!! Swatch footage from brands website = really anyone's guess if it'll dupe. I have a spreadsheet of my polishes, so I can track if I have worn my stuff before I buy new ones.
This video was so fun! It is fascinating how we all see a polish slightly different, yet still have the same sense for a good dupe. Clearly you need more polish to overcome the gaps 😂 For Freshly Bitten, Essie Off the Record topped with Holo Taco Polar Princess is close. For Lovebomb, a possibility might be Zoya Madeline topped with Holo Taco Polar Princess.
Such a fun video! Your did really well with to all who ghosted me, surprised how you rated yourself so low on the scale. Also, I feel like the thermal could be duped out by 2 cremes gradiented together to look like the swatch photo, cant really tell its a thermal based on just one still image anyway. Sure its not going to change colours like the thermal, but you get both colours the entire time youre wearing the manicure.
I love this!! I did the cookies and cremes from HT when it released and was pretty successful (I think) I am on the same page with you re: the cremes price especially w/ import haha :D
Loved this video, it was so fun!! The only thing is I thought you were going to tally or average your scores at the end. If you do make this a series it would be cool to compare average scores to see how each collection dupe compares!
Sweet! This might be a lot of work so feel free to ignore lol but I think it would also be cool to see a summary at the end of the video, with each polish in the collection and their dupe, and rank them by score to see them all together! Long story short I am very invested in this video series haha look forward to watching more!
I ended up ordering To All those who Ghosted me, Queen of the Dead and House of Hades (finally). I love thermals. They are so fun, even if the color change has a short life. For possible vibe dupe for Garden of Evil, look at Emily de Molly Dragon King, its a flakie, but has the right colors. I so look forward to you doing this kind of video again.
I almost feel like this collection goes with the Underworld collection. Since Persephone and Hades ended up together in the myth due to her eating half a pomegranate or 6 pomegranate seeds while in the Underworld, depending on the version you read, after being abducted by Hades because he wanted her to be his wife. It is a very toxic relationship story, and one that was created by the Greeks to explain the changes of the seasons. The polishes definitely aren't easy one to dupe, you gave it your best effort with what you had to work with at the time. Do you think you'd make different choices now that you have the LA Colors shimmer toppers to play with?
I always think, can I dope this and getting close to it is enough for me lol. Also I don't ever trust Moon Cat's pictures from the owner. She over saturates everytime. You got pretty close to the live swatches. Plus, most of them are more like jelly or in between a cream and jelly so you getting close with full creams was cool .
I know you're not 36 like me, but I still think it's ok for the younger set to say "vibe" xD And it's pronounced purse-phone, like a purse and a telephone. Glad I could help!
Well. Ya tried. 😂😂😂😂 I like this because you’re playing with polish. I’m making a rule for myself (loose rule) that I’m going to try to crème every other mani as I gravitate towards my pretty finish polishes first before even considering a crème and I have a ton of crèmes that also need love. 🩶💅
Thats a fantastic idea! I find that my cremes get neglected because they aren't as shinny, but trying to layer you get to actually play with your polish!
"Walking down the aisle" part had me dead ☠
I love this video idea! The combinations are so fun to see. Thank you for dedicating so much time to this for us 🫡
I just couldn't...why didn't I say grocery after WHHHYYYY lolol

Omg I agree with your observation as well because I had a similar suspicion (I'm also a nail tech)!
I don’t own a single Mooncat polish but I’ve never seen them look like the swatch photos on anyone else.
Love this idea! I think we can all collectively agree that we own enough nail polishes 😂😂❤
Update: it was a bad idea watching this video, now I want to buy lots of toppers 😂
I feel like the difference between naming polishes after gambling verses toxic relationships is that the gambling names make it seem fun or desirable. But with the mooncat collection, it doesn't make the toxicity seem desirable, it's just commenting on something that happens, both in the myths and in people's lives.

It makes 100% sense! thank you so much for your insight!
Loved this video! Duping stuff is hard. I liked how truthful and "scientific" you were about it. Good job! 💜
I just found your channel and I love it. Keep it up! Can’t wait to watch you grow ❤
Thank you so much! you are too kind
Girlll this was such a fun video! I'm excited for more vids like this, I'd love to see you try to dupe out the new Holo Taco collection or some HT that come out in the future!

Thank you so much! I already have my swatches done for the HoloTaco's dupes so hopefully that happens in the next weeks!
Such a helpful videos for those who haven’t brought the set. I brought the set and wish I watched this before 😩 but I kind of like the set but I know I have to build it up more.
I've definitely got a few of those polishes on my wish list now lol this collection was very pretty
I'm on a low buy this year! So thank you for this. I have some mini empty 5ml nail bottles, so im happy with mixing 😊
Loved this concept for a video! Please do more!! Plus, the length of the video meant I got to clean out my dresser before moving so I appreciated how thorough you were.
I already have my holotaco dupes swatched out so that vid should come out this week or next!
@@WoWLinry eeeeee!!! Can’t wait!
Ok I love this series! Your scoring system makes so much sense and I love your combos! Cant wait to see you dupe out the new Holo Taco collection!
Thank you so much! hopefully that video will be going out this week or the following the swatches are already done!
For all the ones with pink shimmer, I think Holo Taco's Polar princess would get closer than scorched earth or twilight shimmer.
so true! I'm hoping to pick that up during black Friday. it has become super apparent I lack a pink shimmer 🤣
52 minutes?! Okay! I mostly listened, still packing my house with naked nails, but this was very entertaining 😂
Omg Thats like the largest complement, that I was entertaining with out visuals!
The continuous boyfriend annoyance was 10/10 😂
I'm subbing in hopes you get your monetization! Also, I bought two polishes from this collection and they came the other day and I can't wait to try them!
Thank you so much! what polishes did you grab? I have my eyes on a couple lol
I loved loved this video and this new series and "big promise" lol.
This was a lot of fun and a great way to remember to take a look at what I already have - look close before I hit that buy cart button. 😂
Thanks for the hard work, editing Linry!
Thank you so much! This was just so fun to do it really gets you thinking differently about polish lol
Hear me out I went from loving toppers to now loving incorporated shimmers and it’s a problem for my wallet but I can’t not do it
It's so tempting when the polish just glows on the nails lol
Those mooncat shimmers are micro so more glowy than the HT toppers. The mooncat shimmers were very saturated magenta, violet and cobalt. You did a great job, fantastic way to enjoy what you already own in new ways. ❤
The mooncat shimmer just GLOW so pretty
This is a fun idea!!! Swatch footage from brands website = really anyone's guess if it'll dupe.

Love the idea for this series!

For Freshly Bitten, Essie Off the Record topped with Holo Taco Polar Princess is close.

OOOOooooo Off the record looks like such a good base!
Such a fun video!
Your did really well with to all who ghosted me, surprised how you rated yourself so low on the scale.

If the 3.50 China glaze was head to toe beauty, or 8ty8 beauty they are legit
I love this!! I did the cookies and cremes from HT when it released and was pretty successful (I think) I am on the same page with you re: the cremes price especially w/ import haha :D
I'd go HT nightshade + freezer burn
I played along and got some pretty close dupes. I'm going to post them in Nicole's discord. This was fun!
You did so much better then me 🤣 well done!
Loved this video, it was so fun!! The only thing is I thought you were going to tally or average your scores at the end. If you do make this a series it would be cool to compare average scores to see how each collection dupe compares!
Thats such a good idea I'll try that
Sweet! This might be a lot of work so feel free to ignore lol but I think it would also be cool to see a summary at the end of the video, with each polish in the collection and their dupe, and rank them by score to see them all together!
Long story short I am very invested in this video series haha look forward to watching more!
Love this idea! You did a good job!
thank you!
With those shimmers I wonder if some of the shimmer pieces are just too big?
Loved this type of video
I ended up ordering To All those who Ghosted me, Queen of the Dead and House of Hades (finally). I love thermals. They are so fun, even if the color change has a short life. For possible vibe dupe for Garden of Evil, look at Emily de Molly Dragon King, its a flakie, but has the right colors. I so look forward to you doing this kind of video again.
I love the idea of thermals I just can't handle the heart break they are so tempting tho lol. WOOOW whats a beautiful polish!
Just put on Queen of the Dead, I'm not disapointed@@WoWLinry
I like this idea!!!
I almost feel like this collection goes with the Underworld collection. Since Persephone and Hades ended up together in the myth due to her eating half a pomegranate or 6 pomegranate seeds while in the Underworld, depending on the version you read, after being abducted by Hades because he wanted her to be his wife.

I didn’t care about the same sex couple, but I thought it was an underwear/ clothing brand ad rather than for nail polish
I thought meundies was getting a bit more spicy lol
You are amazing!!!!
Now I have to try and dupe this collection. I’ll bring it to you in the near future. Please hold.
I'm so excited!
I always think, can I dope this and getting close to it is enough for me lol. Also I don't ever trust Moon Cat's pictures from the owner. She over saturates everytime. You got pretty close to the live swatches. Plus, most of them are more like jelly or in between a cream and jelly so you getting close with full creams was cool .
Thank you! this was so much fun seeing how close I could get!
I thought this will show actual dupes, it's not what I imagined 😅
Man, if i was rich i would have a whole shelf of nail polish
❣️subscribe❣️
I know you're not 36 like me, but I still think it's ok for the younger set to say "vibe" xD And it's pronounced purse-phone, like a purse and a telephone. Glad I could help!
ring ring ring my purse phone is calling
subbed! will comment again as i watch lol
oh this is such a fun idea! I should do this with my own collection. I wonder how close Oddities from October PPU is to those Grey green shades
and your man just betraying you time and time again lmaoo
the grocery aisle 😂
Well. Ya tried. 😂😂😂😂 I like this because you’re playing with polish. I’m making a rule for myself (loose rule) that I’m going to try to crème every other mani as I gravitate towards my pretty finish polishes first before even considering a crème and I have a ton of crèmes that also need love. 🩶💅
