I did my nails for NYE. As they're drying, my Starrily order came in. I have wanted your collab shades for YEARS! They're usually sold out. I finally got my hands on a few of them.
@KelliMarissa I love them SO MUCH! I was sad I had done my nails already. I would paint them as soon as I got off work in the morning. Now, I feel like I should wait to give my current mani SOME time to shine. I did black with a scattered holo topper and silver NYE stamping. Mooncat Star Destroyer accent nails for more silver pop.
I feel the HT I Need Space collection was slept on. I absolutely loved it! Each color hit with Waste of Space being my favorite of the collection. I would love to see more colors in the specific formula. ❤
You're right, that Starrily Pi Day trio didn't get enough love! Blueberry Pi is one of my top polish purchases this year! It's truly so gorgeous and versatile.
My daughter absolutely loved the Mooncat collections . All of them. She wore the Field of Elysium and Gardens of Evil the most out of the Seasons of Persephone set .
Aww yay a Kelli Marissa video! This was such a big year for me and was also the year I discovered nail polish and I fell so madly in love with painting my nails. It’s been such a fun way to connect with other nail enthusiasts and just be part of such a fun, friendly community. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos because they are always so good and I always feel excited for notifications from this channel. 🎉🥰💅
I just stated watching the video.. and omg the quality of the video is phenomenal! On my 55 inch 4k tv I can see the tiniest specles of the glitter and Im obsessed! Thank you for your hard work swatching and sharing everything with us!!! Sending you loads of love!
What a sweet comment. All of us non content creators, I know I do, sorta forget how much work goes into an online presence. She really does do an amazing job and for real she's probably one of the few people I'm still watching after all these years!
Mooncat's Star Destroyer is a perfect NYE polish! I'm wearing it right now and I LOVE it!! I feel like Mooncat killed it with their collections this year as well - especially with Songs of Sirens and Pandora Unboxed. I also really loved there seemed to be a theme between some of the collections - Seasons of Persephone to Songs of Sirens to Pandora Unboxed. I thought that was really cool. I also think ILNP killed it these year too! Their Wildflowers collection was perfection to me as well as their Summer magnetic collection (the name escapes me). I haven't gotten any, but I also am eyeing the Eternal winter collection! Happy New Year!
I wore a Most Destructive Melody for my birthday! So gorgeous and my favorite finish of polish. I agree on the year of Mooncat! I only just started wearing them this year, but I keep going back to them. Pandora Unboxed has to be my favorite collection. Root of All Evil is actually magical, and Forbidden Fruit really surprised me with how much I loved it. I thought the color combos on the magnetics were so unusual and interesting. The Holo Taco birthstone collection is probably my second favorite collection. I love the range and there are some real stunners in there.
I look forward to seeing this video every year. I love that Orly always ends up on your list. I love Orly, their color stories are always so beautiful. I miss your LA Colors reviews. Please consider swatching their new Jelly collection it’s beautiful and I want your thoughts on the collection.
Happy New Year, Kelli!! Mooncat really knocked it out of the park this year. Totally agree about the I Need Space Holo Taco collection. I haven't loved every release of theirs this year, but I've gone back to that one over and over this year. Alien Infatuation is so amazing. I love the grey/underglow formula.
Happy New Year, Kelli! You’re such a positive, bright spot on the interwebs, and I am so excited to see what 2025 holds in store for all of us (and our nails) 💅🏽 🥳🥳🥳
I was disappointed the pink faded while wearing The Floor is Lava by Orly. By time i removed it, it was more orange leaning. I wondered if i was imagining it, so i painted a fresh nail and it had faded a lot! The bottle is still the pink color, but on the nail the color changed with time.
Learned a new word from you today - bokeh! I've seen all these reviewed before but for some reason (maybe I'm getting old) I'm loving them all so much! Especially the one with the bokeh effect! Happy New Year everyone!
Songs of Sirens was one of my top favorites, too. However, I did love Mooncat's Pandora set just as much. I just think they have so many great unique colors with such interesting finishes. They are my absolute favorite. Treachery In The Blue is also one of my fave's, and I've been wearing it a lot. I can't wait to get Lord Vader! ❤
It's such a stunning and vibrant collection, I struggled to wear any other colors this summer tbh LOL! And I love the breathable line because it feels like nail care plus color 😅
It was the year of Mooncat for me too! And Songs of Sirens was also my top collection, followed very very closely by the Fallen Collection. I reach for so many colors in both so much, and feel like they both just nailed the themes and inspiration. I also loved the Darkside collection, Pandora Unboxed, and Seasons of Persephone. Other favorites for me were Holo Taco's Dark Academia and birthstone collections, ILNP's Vineyard and Coven collections, and Cirque's Jellies and Vice collection. Thanks for all the amazing reviews this year, it's been so fun following along! Happy 2025!
The I Need Space collection was also in my top 5 for this year. I didn't buy Holo Taco for a long time because of all the rainbow releases. I really love that they have been releasing collections with different finishes.
Great picks, and I loved the Mooncat collections this year so much! Im still wanting on my Dark Side shipment (postal delays suck) but I really loved the Fallen and Pandora Unboxed collections too! Happy New Year!!
My favorite collection was definitely 1) Mooncat’s Pandora Unboxed, 2) Mooncat’s Seasons of Persephone, and 3) Mooncat’s Songs of Sirens! Literally every collection they released this year has been a hit 🙌
Long time lurker but first time commenting. I bought most of ORLYs Melting Point Polishes thanks to your video. My current manicure is 'Alloy Matey' on my left hand and 'Glass Act' on my right hand. My boyfriend saw 'Alloy Matey' and asked me, if T.O.P was my inspiration for that that nail colour (Squid Game Season 2 viewers and Kpop Fans will know 😉). Kelli, thank you so much for your videos. Have been watching you for a few years now. Happy new year to you 🎉
Happy New Year! I'm so glad to have you here 🥰 and thank you for commenting! I love when lurkers peek out to say hello haha 😆 I don't think I'll ever stop loving Melting Point, those colors are just so beautiful. And the way they marketed them with black backgrounds makes me want to use them for nail art too haha!
@@KelliMarissaI'm totally in love with the colours. I did not buy 'Cesium the day' and 'Having a smeltdown' but when I opened my package 'Cesium the day' was included as a gift. I have never tried yellow nail polish but I will try this. 'Alloy matey' is one of the most beautiful polishes I have ever seen. You know a nail polish is gorgeous when your boyfriend tells you 'Oooh' when he sees the colour 😂
Happy NewYear, Kelli! Wishing you a great year. Lol on the baby “splash zone”. Everytime I fly I’m looking out for babies/kids to sit far away from. 😂😂😂
YAY!! Songs of Sirens blew my mind and Maelstrom was probably on my nails more repeatedly than any other color. The Dark Side was so great I bought the whole thing, also got the whole Pandora collection. Definitely in agreement that this was a Mooncat year, she really knocked it out of the park! Star Destroyer is currently on the nails and toes for New Years!
For the would you rather, between the arguing couple for sure. I totally get what you mean, one of my absolute favourite things when eating out is to be seated next to a first date, or a last date. I don’t wish them ill!! I just love hearing something surreal happen in real time XD
Literally wearing imperial stormtrooper right now for a new years mani. Glad I need space got some love, I think it was their most underrated collection this year.
Cadillacquer polishes are my absolute favorites. I love the 9 magnetic polishes launched in Jan'24. There Will Be Blood in Halloween collection is stunning ❤
So many amazing polishes! I agree with you that it was the year of mooncat! I think my top collection of the year is a tie between the Mooncat/Darth Vader collection and the Holo Taco/Birthstone collection. And not a collection, but I wore a beautiful KB shimmer magnetic green polish called crushing it (I think) for Christmas. What a stunning polish in velvet effect.
Truly underrated! I think it was unexpected for the time of year so people overlooked it but it was such a beautif set. I would love to see HT do monochromatic collections like that again with all the finishes!
Melting Point! I have the three cool tones and they are so gorgeous. Definitely some of my favorites this year. The Birthstones were really impressive too. And I still haven't tried Mooncat, but several from that Sirens collection call to me, pun intended. That whole color palette gets me. Thanks for sharing your picks!
I stick to just 2 brands atm, which is ILNP and Holo Taco, so I can only speak for those two brands but my favorite collection this year was the birthstones collection. I only ended up with half of the collection but each and every one them is so so so gorgeous! I hadn’t been painting my nails much but that collection really inspired me and I’ve been doing my nails at least once a week since. I also love the unpopular under-glow collection. I’m not sure why people are complaining about streaks and what not with it, I don’t seem to have that problem with mine and I’ve worn 3 of the 6 so far (swan song, cloud nine, vitamin glow). They are so unique to my collection and I absolutely love them. The other collections I really enjoyed this past year was ILNP’s watercolor, velvet, vineyard, and wildflowers. I only have one from each collection though so I didn’t go too crazy (yet). New goal for 2025 for me is to branch out and try other brands like mooncat. Also, to pay attention to these collections more because I love all the collections! I wanna grab this years holo royalty collection because I always miss out on it. I’m never looking for polish when it comes out so I just don’t know about it 😅
I always know whatever number you say isn't correct! Thanks for making these! 😂😂 And Song of Sirens was my first full collection from Mooncat since I just discovered them a year ago.
Thank you for the video, I always enjoy your videos! There were so many beautiful polishes released in 2024. Two of my favorite collections were the Holo Taco Birthstones collection and the KBShimmer fall collection
thank you for another year of wonderful content. your videos are always so relaxing for me. anyway, i also would rather be seated between an arguing couple, unless it seemed violent or something. it would definitely be a story to tell. as far as overlap for our favorite collections, i didn't actually get any of the collections you did (or any full collections released in 2024 at all (i unfortunately have to be a reasonable person and not just buy all the things) but i think my favorite collection was maybe mooncat's pandora unboxed or holo taco's dark academia. i guess i was feeling dark and moody haha.
The Powerpuff Girls collection got me into Mooncat this year! For once I branched out of my Holo Taco ways and now I want the Star Wars collection! Can't wait to see what else they come out with
Happy New Year, Kelli!! 🎆🎇🎉🥳 Love the video and your choices! Mooncat’s The Dark Side did it for me as my absolute favourite, obviously because A) Star Wars Villains!!! and B) they’re just beyond gorgeous, the detail on the box is amazing and the thermal magnetic is SO cool. What firmly pushed it to number 1 for me though is the fact that my husband actually surprised me with it (I saw it when it was released but didn’t feel I could spend that much right before Christmas, not with the added expense of getting it shipped to England!) My husband is a huge Star Wars fan as well though so he decided to buy it for me as a surprise, which I really wasn’t expecting! Also, he’s got an MRI this week but once it’s over, he’s said he wants me to paint his toes in one of the Star Wars polishes, which will be so fun!! I actually really liked ORLY’s little mini Christmas collection, Spread The Cheer. The red creme is my perfect “Santa Hat” shade and the silver holo, Sleigh Yes is on my nails right now. I have it as a gradient over Holo Taco’s Swan Song (white with blue microshimmer) and it’s so sparkly in the light. Plus as a green polish lover, a green holo is always welcome and great for sparkly Christmas nail art!
Happy New Year!! Loved your picks! Esp the HT space collection.. i felt like that was slept on. Probly bc it was so out of season. HT & Mooncat both do the eff the season thing sometimes & I always feel sad about it when they do bc so many great polishes get buried & forgotten bc they don't fit the season they were released in. My favs were mostly Mooncat. The persephone & sirens collections were SOOOO amazing! Holo Taco rock candy collection I thought was fun & great for summer. ILNP did perfect seasonal collections, as they always do.. not so unique... but such a solid & dependable brand. And KBshimmer I thought did excellent all year long! I def plucked a few here and there from every collection & i'm really trying to cut back. My fav from 24 was Sweet & Sour Pruglies. They might still be available, for the pruggle lovers. 💚🧡
Golly tough question! When I was young I would have choosen the couple, thinking I could make a difference, now I would choose the baby because darn, I would want to help the mom, but also choice 3 is ask the flight attendant to reseat me. I have much more patience than twenty years ago, still a tough choice!🎉😂 Happy New Year Kelli!🎉
That Orly Melting Pot collection is so good! I gotta say, I'm extremely surprised you've never seen any thermal magnetics before. Fancy Gloss has been doing thermal magnetics for 4 or 5 years now as far as I can tell, but I just got into polish about two months ago. I bought a couple during Black Friday before the Mooncat Dark Side collection was teased
How do you feel about dazzle dry basecoat I need a base code that will last and not chip. I have been doing nails for multiple years and I’m struggling with a base code and I only do natural nails. Is there anyway you can recommend if
I did my nails for NYE. As they're drying, my Starrily order came in. I have wanted your collab shades for YEARS! They're usually sold out. I finally got my hands on a few of them.
Oh my gosh that makes me so happy to hear!! I hope you love them in person 🥰🥰 happy New Year!!
@KelliMarissa I love them SO MUCH! I was sad I had done my nails already. I would paint them as soon as I got off work in the morning. Now, I feel like I should wait to give my current mani SOME time to shine. I did black with a scattered holo topper and silver NYE stamping. Mooncat Star Destroyer accent nails for more silver pop.
Kelli’s collab polishes are the best! Which ones did you get?
@caitlinstone596 Luna, Cosmic Voyage, and Diamond Rain. They're so stunning. I can't wait to wear them! I'm so excited
This is a great compilation of 2024. 🎉
I feel the HT I Need Space collection was slept on. I absolutely loved it! Each color hit with Waste of Space being my favorite of the collection. I would love to see more colors in the specific formula. ❤
They are usually hit or miss for me, but this collection knocked me out!
Agree completely 🙌🏻💯👏🏻
Happy to see love for Maelstrom! It automatically became one of my favorite polishes of all time 😍
You're right, that Starrily Pi Day trio didn't get enough love! Blueberry Pi is one of my top polish purchases this year! It's truly so gorgeous and versatile.
You personally sold me on Cadillacquer Reliant Supergiant and I do not regret my purchase decision! Happy 2025 Kelli!
Have a Happy New Year Kelli! You're amazing and it's been an absolute blast following you! I love your content!
Thank you so much 🥰 Happy New Year! Excited for another year of fun polish 😋😋
Mooncat had another banner year. The Sirens are great but my favorite were the Powerpuff Girls. The box set was fun! Happy New Year, Kelli! 🎉
Yesss they did amazing in 2024! Happy New Year!
It’s good to see you. I’ve been missing you. Hope you’re doing well! Happy new year
🥰 Happy New Year! Sorry I took an accidental break haha, but I'm excited to be back for 2025! 😆
My daughter absolutely loved the Mooncat collections . All of them. She wore the Field of Elysium and Gardens of Evil the most out of the Seasons of Persephone set .

Happy New Year!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I absolutely love I’m Rover It! That was definitely my favorite HT collection of the year.
Happy New Year Dear and Sweet Kelli. Continue with the good work.❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💚
Happy New Year!!!! Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
Yep. Mooncat fits my vibe as well. 🥰
Great choices Kelli. It’s been another fun year watching your channels. I hope you and Ryan have a blessed and Happy New Year!🎉🥳🎆
So fun! Look fwd to your favs video. Hope the new year treats you very kind
Happy New Year, I hope it treats you kindly too! 🎉
10:55 Kelli, my sweet pea, admit that it's because this collection had the most interesting/stunning purples and greens within it 😊❤❤❤
I LOVE Kelli’s new year’s videos!
Mooncat's Star Destroyer is a perfect NYE polish! I'm wearing it right now and I LOVE it!! I feel like Mooncat killed it with their collections this year as well - especially with Songs of Sirens and Pandora Unboxed.

I'm wearing star destroyer too! 😻
Michelle wore Star Destroyer for NYE 😁
Love your look in this vid!
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Happy New Year! I Need Space is probably my favorite Holo Taco collection. That mixture of formulas and colors is just amazing.
Your eye makeup is stunning in this video! Happy New Year 🥳
I totally agree with you that Mooncat kept wowing me this year!
Orly melting point collection ❤❤❤❤❤.
Sooooo gorgeous and truly perfect for summer!
I wore a Most Destructive Melody for my birthday! So gorgeous and my favorite finish of polish. I agree on the year of Mooncat! I only just started wearing them this year, but I keep going back to them. Pandora Unboxed has to be my favorite collection. Root of All Evil is actually magical, and Forbidden Fruit really surprised me with how much I loved it. I thought the color combos on the magnetics were so unusual and interesting. The Holo Taco birthstone collection is probably my second favorite collection. I love the range and there are some real stunners in there.
I finally got my first mooncat polishes because of the Star Wars collection.
That collection was truly iconic, I have a feeling I'll be wearing it all 2025 too haha!
I look forward to seeing this video every year. I love that Orly always ends up on your list. I love Orly, their color stories are always so beautiful. I miss your LA Colors reviews. Please consider swatching their new Jelly collection it’s beautiful and I want your thoughts on the collection.
Happy New Year, Kelli!! Mooncat really knocked it out of the park this year. Totally agree about the I Need Space Holo Taco collection. I haven't loved every release of theirs this year, but I've gone back to that one over and over this year. Alien Infatuation is so amazing. I love the grey/underglow formula.
Happy New Year, Kelli! You’re such a positive, bright spot on the interwebs, and I am so excited to see what 2025 holds in store for all of us (and our nails) 💅🏽 🥳🥳🥳
Mooncat always makes me go 😲 their polishes are so beautiful
"I'm a big Star Wars fan" So glad you watched the movies! Haha
Took me long enough 🤣 but I'm so glad I finally did!!!
I absolutely love Mooncats Lord Vader! Planning on wearing it for Valentines Day!
Lovely polishes and colours 😍💅👏Happy New Year. TFS
I was disappointed the pink faded while wearing The Floor is Lava by Orly. By time i removed it, it was more orange leaning. I wondered if i was imagining it, so i painted a fresh nail and it had faded a lot! The bottle is still the pink color, but on the nail the color changed with time.
Happy New Year Kelli!
Happy New Year!!! 😋😋
I am also all about the Starilly Heartbreak Hues collection!!!! The reds were completely gorgeous
Truly an underrated collection imo!!
Loved Melting Pot, especially the turquoise one
Learned a new word from you today - bokeh!
I've seen all these reviewed before but for some reason (maybe I'm getting old) I'm loving them all so much! Especially the one with the bokeh effect!
Happy New Year everyone!
Me too.. Alloy Matey….
Hi Kelli, I love your videos. They're very helpful to me as a new nail polish enthusiast. Please do a video of your favorite 24 nail polishes of 2024.
Great picks! Happy New Year! 🎉😊
Happy New Year!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Happy New Year Kelli! ❤ thank you for sharing so many amazing collections with us! 😍
Songs of Sirens was one of my top favorites, too. However, I did love Mooncat's Pandora set just as much. I just think they have so many great unique colors with such interesting finishes. They are my absolute favorite. Treachery In The Blue is also one of my fave's, and I've been wearing it a lot. I can't wait to get Lord Vader! ❤
Ahhhhh.... I knew I'd see you one more time this year!
I started my nail care journey Spring of last year, and Orly's Melting Point is my first collection I purchased ever.
It's such a stunning and vibrant collection, I struggled to wear any other colors this summer tbh LOL! And I love the breathable line because it feels like nail care plus color 😅
Hi Kelli, Happy New Year! 'Loving your picks for 2024- they are so pretty 💅 Thanks for sharing them 💌
This was a fun video! I’d love for you to do a video on how you got your eye look
It was the year of Mooncat for me too! And Songs of Sirens was also my top collection, followed very very closely by the Fallen Collection. I reach for so many colors in both so much, and feel like they both just nailed the themes and inspiration. I also loved the Darkside collection, Pandora Unboxed, and Seasons of Persephone. Other favorites for me were Holo Taco's Dark Academia and birthstone collections, ILNP's Vineyard and Coven collections, and Cirque's Jellies and Vice collection.
Thanks for all the amazing reviews this year, it's been so fun following along! Happy 2025!
Most Desteuctive Melody has become my favorite polish bar none. It's stunning as was that entire collection. She hit it out of the park in 2024!
Happy New Year Kelli and Ryan 🎉🎉. See you next year!!!
Happy New Year!! 🥳🥳🥳❤️❤️❤️
Mooncat Join the Dak Side was my favorite collection, and the only collection I bought this year.
It was honestly so incredible, I'm still reeling over it 😅😅
Happy New Year! I agree Mooncat stole the show in 2024 for me as well. I wore their colors all year like right now I'm wearing Lord Vader.
The I Need Space collection was also in my top 5 for this year. I didn't buy Holo Taco for a long time because of all the rainbow releases. I really love that they have been releasing collections with different finishes.
Great picks, and I loved the Mooncat collections this year so much! Im still wanting on my Dark Side shipment (postal delays suck) but I really loved the Fallen and Pandora Unboxed collections too!
Happy New Year!!
Mooncat absolutely floored me this year, I can't think of a polish I didn't love from 2024 😅😅
My favorite collection was definitely 1) Mooncat’s Pandora Unboxed, 2) Mooncat’s Seasons of Persephone, and 3) Mooncat’s Songs of Sirens! Literally every collection they released this year has been a hit 🙌
Truly they FLOORED me this year with every release. I loved all these mysterious vibes!!
Holo Taco Birthstones was my favorite collection of the year for sure. My second favorite was probably Mooncat's Seasons of Persephone
Long time lurker but first time commenting. I bought most of ORLYs Melting Point Polishes thanks to your video. My current manicure is 'Alloy Matey' on my left hand and 'Glass Act' on my right hand. My boyfriend saw 'Alloy Matey' and asked me, if T.O.P was my inspiration for that that nail colour (Squid Game Season 2 viewers and Kpop Fans will know 😉).
Kelli, thank you so much for your videos. Have been watching you for a few years now. Happy new year to you 🎉
Happy New Year! I'm so glad to have you here 🥰 and thank you for commenting!

@@KelliMarissaI'm totally in love with the colours. I did not buy 'Cesium the day' and 'Having a smeltdown' but when I opened my package 'Cesium the day' was included as a gift. I have never tried yellow nail polish but I will try this.
'Alloy matey' is one of the most beautiful polishes I have ever seen. You know a nail polish is gorgeous when your boyfriend tells you 'Oooh' when he sees the colour 😂
Happy New Year! 🎉
Happy NewYear, Kelli! Wishing you a great year.
Lol on the baby “splash zone”. Everytime I fly I’m looking out for babies/kids to sit far away from. 😂😂😂
YAY!! Songs of Sirens blew my mind and Maelstrom was probably on my nails more repeatedly than any other color. The Dark Side was so great I bought the whole thing, also got the whole Pandora collection. Definitely in agreement that this was a Mooncat year, she really knocked it out of the park! Star Destroyer is currently on the nails and toes for New Years!
Mooncat killed it. Loved their launches this year. I was most excited for Star Wars but I haven't been able to try all the polishes yet.
I wore the Mooncat Songs of Sirens for most of the year.
It's just a perfect set imo!!
15:47 Completely agree. Id ratger be entertained by someone's drama that doesnt effect me at all.
For the would you rather, between the arguing couple for sure. I totally get what you mean, one of my absolute favourite things when eating out is to be seated next to a first date, or a last date. I don’t wish them ill!! I just love hearing something surreal happen in real time XD
Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds those situations so entertaining! 😂😂
I bought my first mooncat purchases because of the Siren collection. They are soooo beautiful and Maelstrom gets the most compliments.
Mooncat has been a favorite brand for me too. They have been my go to polishes!
Literally wearing imperial stormtrooper right now for a new years mani. Glad I need space got some love, I think it was their most underrated collection this year.
Cadillacquer polishes are my absolute favorites. I love the 9 magnetic polishes launched in Jan'24. There Will Be Blood in Halloween collection is stunning ❤
Love the HT Birthstones collection! I just feel like every polish is so beautiful!
My NYE color this year is Tanzanite Away! So gorgeous!
I just LOVE their multi finish collections. I will always shout about them from the rooftops lol!
Happy New Year!!
Hope your 2025 is prosperous and joyous!
Love your picks! I was just about to ask if you have favourite individual polishes and then you said that video is coming haha
So many amazing polishes! I agree with you that it was the year of mooncat! I think my top collection of the year is a tie between the Mooncat/Darth Vader collection and the Holo Taco/Birthstone collection. And not a collection, but I wore a beautiful KB shimmer magnetic green polish called crushing it (I think) for Christmas. What a stunning polish in velvet effect.
I’m with you and the great Mooncat polishes in 2024!! I added 3 full collections to my stash this year!!
so happy i need space made it on here! that collection did not get as much love as it deserved i feel
Truly underrated! I think it was unexpected for the time of year so people overlooked it but it was such a beautif set. I would love to see HT do monochromatic collections like that again with all the finishes!
Melting Point! I have the three cool tones and they are so gorgeous. Definitely some of my favorites this year. The Birthstones were really impressive too.

Did you favor a specific nail art theme like a gradient or something abstract ?
Honestly I didn't do too much nail art this year! I think I spent most of my time doing magnetic manis instead haha!
I agree with The Songs of Sirens, it's my top collection of 2024 also!
I always know whatever number you say isn't correct! Thanks for making these! 😂😂 And Song of Sirens was my first full collection from Mooncat since I just discovered them a year ago.
Hahaha I can never be trusted when it comes to top 5 or top 10 🤣🤣
Happy New Year!
Thank you for the video, I always enjoy your videos! There were so many beautiful polishes released in 2024. Two of my favorite collections were the Holo Taco Birthstones collection and the KBShimmer fall collection
My nails for Hanukkah were Galaxy Far Far Away,I think it's my favorite polish overall, and my first time wearing metallic 💙 🌈
i'm wearing chemical x as a part of my last minute, new year mani. happy new year kelli!
I have 2 color changing mooncat polishes. Have you found that the color changing magic lasts even as the polish ages?
Happy new year and all the best for 2025 🎉🎊😘🤗
thank you for another year of wonderful content. your videos are always so relaxing for me. anyway, i also would rather be seated between an arguing couple, unless it seemed violent or something. it would definitely be a story to tell.
as far as overlap for our favorite collections, i didn't actually get any of the collections you did (or any full collections released in 2024 at all (i unfortunately have to be a reasonable person and not just buy all the things) but i think my favorite collection was maybe mooncat's pandora unboxed or holo taco's dark academia. i guess i was feeling dark and moody haha.
Blueberry pie is one of my favorites. So different
The Powerpuff Girls collection got me into Mooncat this year! For once I branched out of my Holo Taco ways and now I want the Star Wars collection! Can't wait to see what else they come out with
Great video. ❤❤❤
Happy New Year, Kelli!! 🎆🎇🎉🥳
Love the video and your choices! Mooncat’s The Dark Side did it for me as my absolute favourite, obviously because A) Star Wars Villains!!! and B) they’re just beyond gorgeous, the detail on the box is amazing and the thermal magnetic is SO cool. What firmly pushed it to number 1 for me though is the fact that my husband actually surprised me with it (I saw it when it was released but didn’t feel I could spend that much right before Christmas, not with the added expense of getting it shipped to England!) My husband is a huge Star Wars fan as well though so he decided to buy it for me as a surprise, which I really wasn’t expecting! Also, he’s got an MRI this week but once it’s over, he’s said he wants me to paint his toes in one of the Star Wars polishes, which will be so fun!!
I actually really liked ORLY’s little mini Christmas collection, Spread The Cheer. The red creme is my perfect “Santa Hat” shade and the silver holo, Sleigh Yes is on my nails right now. I have it as a gradient over Holo Taco’s Swan Song (white with blue microshimmer) and it’s so sparkly in the light. Plus as a green polish lover, a green holo is always welcome and great for sparkly Christmas nail art!
Oh I need Shattered Mirage tfs great choices !
It's SUCH a beauty imo!!
Pandora box was my favorite. Serpents of Eden is my favorite
Cosmic Polish’s heavenly bodies collection was the best for me this year and it’s not even close
Happy New Year!! Loved your picks! Esp the HT space collection.. i felt like that was slept on. Probly bc it was so out of season. HT & Mooncat both do the eff the season thing sometimes & I always feel sad about it when they do bc so many great polishes get buried & forgotten bc they don't fit the season they were released in. My favs were mostly Mooncat. The persephone & sirens collections were SOOOO amazing! Holo Taco rock candy collection I thought was fun & great for summer. ILNP did perfect seasonal collections, as they always do.. not so unique... but such a solid & dependable brand. And KBshimmer I thought did excellent all year long! I def plucked a few here and there from every collection & i'm really trying to cut back. My fav from 24 was Sweet & Sour Pruglies. They might still be available, for the pruggle lovers. 💚🧡
Golly tough question! When I was young I would have choosen the couple, thinking I could make a difference, now I would choose the baby because darn, I would want to help the mom, but also choice 3 is ask the flight attendant to reseat me. I have much more patience than twenty years ago, still a tough choice!🎉😂 Happy New Year Kelli!🎉
All Mooncat thermals won me over this year.
Their thermals have quickly become a favorite formula of mine. They're sooo reactive and the color options are always gorgeous!
That Orly Melting Pot collection is so good! I gotta say, I'm extremely surprised you've never seen any thermal magnetics before. Fancy Gloss has been doing thermal magnetics for 4 or 5 years now as far as I can tell, but I just got into polish about two months ago. I bought a couple during Black Friday before the Mooncat Dark Side collection was teased
Maelstrom gets so many complements. I also have Treachery in Blue
How do you feel about dazzle dry basecoat I need a base code that will last and not chip. I have been doing nails for multiple years and I’m struggling with a base code and I only do natural nails. Is there anyway you can recommend if
Lord Vader is flippin stunning!
