Doing the lords work swatching all of these!! 😮💨 i do agree that Michelle’s swatches are always the one to make me side eye the polish lol. I’m pretty sure she’s said she doesn’t photoshop the color, so to give her the benefit of the doubt i’m gonna believe its her more warmer/olive skintone or undertone thats making the color look so different. Funny enough i feel the same about Cristine’s swatches, but for her i think its just her super professional lighting setup. But who knows! Also for anyone who got Flight of the Monarchs but still found it too orange, would highly recommend looking at Take Me To Your Leader. Its a beauty and the purple base is more noticeable! 🧡💜 Edit: omgg what! i really appreciate your shoutout at the end Linry, thank you 🥹🫶🏼
I think her false nails also play with opacity a bit. But well said!...also too orange? it that a thing?!?! lol. and of course! you put so much work into your swatches
I always felt like the swatches on mooncat were misleading, which turned me off from ordering from them (at that price point). However I will happily watch all the swatches on this video 🤪
I’ve also been burned by the swatches on their site. Siren’s Deceit is SUPER transparent. Four coats and I still see my nail line which you wouldn’t expect based on her photos. I just use it as a topper now 🤷♀️ LOVE supervillain , one of my top favorite mooncats
My wishlist is: House of Hades, River Styx, Root of all Evil, Green Eyed Monster, Momento Mori, The Siren's Revenge, Maelstrom, The Sea Between Us, Full Scream Ahead, Sand Viper, Pixiestick, and Curiosity's Prey. Your review talked me out of Catfished and Plankton.
CORRRRRRLLLLLL🤣🤣🤣 I love a lot of the same polishes you do. I’ll probably be picking up Flight of the Monarchs, Root of All Evil, Garden of Evil, Beowulf, Moonicorn and Moonrise. Also, appreciate the love for Velociraptor and Triceratops 😊
My current favorites are Am I Everything You Fear?, Mermaid Bait, Rue Morgue- I have this one in an LLP bottle. I pruned my wishlist down to: Abandoned Boardwalks, Dark Arts 101 Set, House Of Hades, After The Rain, Witch Hazel, Jewel Beetle
I have Witch Hazel and Jewel Beetle and I love them both! I put one coat of Witch Hazel on my toes and it looks amazing even in the shade. Jewel Beetle is one of those polishes you can't stop looking at the whole time it's on your nails, and it lasted really well for me with basically no chipping (I wash my hands CONSTANTLY because I work in a lab so that's rare). I was sad to take it off!
that would only be an additional 3 polishes Apple of my eye - Discontinued, When hell freezes over - Limited edition, and Mercury's tears - Batch issue
I haven’t purchased a thing from Mooncat. I am tempted this BF. I have to make a larger purchase to make sense of shipping to Canada. I have been interested in a quite a few colours and finishes. Thanks for your swatches.
I can’t help but agree with your review of Millennia. I’m also a magnetic hater, but I like to look at them. That one is just so underwhelming. It’s a light grey that barely reaches full coverage, so the light blue pigment doesn’t stick out at all like it would with a darker base. And Mooncat using a black base coat for the swatches on the website is misleading. But did you have to come for poetry like that? (I’m a poet) lol I am so sold on Velociraptor. What a unique polish! I’ve been getting more into grungey greens lately.
I got "catfished" by a couple of mooncat swatches of polish and since then I have been conflicted on whether to purchase again or not 🙈 But really loving your swatches 🥰
I’m on the fence about getting the new thermals Sage Brush and Twilight Sonata, I have Treachery in the Blue and love it’s formula and it’s extremely reactive I’m just worried about their shelf life. So far I’ve added Serpents of Eden, Maelstrom, and Pangea.
I only own HT, but this is making me rethink that. I have been eyeing a few mooncat polishes for awhile but my wallet keeps making me think ehh better not 😅
If you ever do find a polish that pays the mortgage, please let us know. 😂 Maelstrom and Witch Hazel were on my wishlist, but I may have just duped out Maelstrom. I alternated coats of ILNP Good Mornings and HT Galactic Unicorn Skin.
The one that I regret buying is Hermit Crab. I thought it would be pinker but it’s a coral and I don’t like that. Maelstrom is unbelievably lovely. Fool’s Gold is a great topper.
My HOH learns more purple so I am a little sad seeing how blue it is in your swatches. I am hoping to get some Holo Tacos I don't own yet depending on the sale. Also hoping to get my first Zoya order placed.
Man, Mooncat makes some gorgeous stuff; I'd love Stumped, Velociraptor, and Flight of the Monarchs when they fix their bottle issues. And I'm a sucker for multichromes in general. The overly edited photos turn me off the website, though.
Maybe my eyes are broken, but every single mooncat polish I own has looked EVEN better irl than the pictures... and I own close to 40! I agree that your Millenia looks a bit busted lol! But I have been continuously impressed by the formula, brushes, and appearance of these polishes! Michelle's-nail syndrome is real though lol, sometimes I don't think about how the polish will look on my lil guys.
Maybe mine are too! The only differences I've noticed is some shades look different on different skin tones. I bought Millenia during the last sale and I got it opaque in 2 coats and it looks like the swatch photos 🤷♀️
Have you ever used Dragon Scales or FotM as toppers? If so, over what base colors & are there pix??? Also, have you heard anything about their next sale? Since they usually tie their sales to lunar-based events (rather than seasonal or holidays), it's harder to know when to plan for them. All I've seen is the teaser email from Nov 2nd...
Omg maybe ive been living under a rock but ive never heard of anyone else discussing how inaccurate Mooncat’s swatches are!!! Most of my Mooncats looked nothing like the swatches on the website, leading me to donate many purchases :/ I do think swatches have gotten better with new collections tho!! What do you think?
Dont you own Encryption key and liked it? Because I consider that a coral Yes yes I will pick up merkitten with this sale :P my smile line basically doesn't exist ^^

I really hope they start taking this feedback to heart. they sell some beautiful polishes, no need to over edit the photos

LOVE supervillain , one of my top favorite mooncats
As someone who worked at TWD, the CORRRLLLSSSS Rick jumpscare had me CACKLIINNGGG 😂😂😂
thank you! for a moment I thought everyone was going to ignore my Ricks lol!
Hello my purveyor of Tomfoolery. I’m so happy to see you today 😊
How you described supervillain and it’s dump truck had me cackling 😂
shhhhe thicccc
Not me adding mermaid bait BACK to my cart after this 😂
I swear I did a lil dance with mermaid bait as well lol
My wishlist is: House of Hades, River Styx, Root of all Evil, Green Eyed Monster, Momento Mori, The Siren's Revenge, Maelstrom, The Sea Between Us, Full Scream Ahead, Sand Viper, Pixiestick, and Curiosity's Prey. Your review talked me out of Catfished and Plankton.
such a good wish list! I've been eyeing Momento mori as well lol
I have catfished on my wishlist, along with sand viper and midnight rider 💙
I'm still too afraid of Mooncat's bottles, but I'm loving the series! Crossing my fingers for an ILNP or Holo Taco installment...
Holotaco is next week and ILNP will be the last week of November!
𝕾𝖜𝖆𝖙𝖈𝖍𝖋𝖊𝖘𝖙 𝕼𝖚𝖊𝖊𝖓!!!!!! The way I grinch smiled when I saw this (and my wallet started weeping)
I can't get over how stunning River Styx is !!
It truly is beautiful I feel like it needs more HYPE lol
Thank you for making these videos - they are very helpful (and fun to watch)!
CORRRRRRLLLLLL🤣🤣🤣

witch hazel looks so beautiful I'm hoping it sings in the sunlight!

Thank you for a honest video that l will definitely refer to! You are the best!!!
It would be nice to see unavailable ones, too. Your swatches are literally the best. Looking forward to every video!

@@WoWLinryI think lava lamp is retired too

Reporting in to say I bought River Styx and Catfished, thank you for the recommendations!!
I'm planning on getting Root of All Evil, Lust for Vengeance, and Dark Horse
I only own HT, but this is making me rethink that. I have been eyeing a few mooncat polishes for awhile but my wallet keeps making me think ehh better not 😅
I find the Black Friday is a great time to try a brand it's how I got into HoloTaco and Mooncat thooooo...its been a expensive journey lol
If you ever do find a polish that pays the mortgage, please let us know. 😂
Maelstrom and Witch Hazel were on my wishlist, but I may have just duped out Maelstrom. I alternated coats of ILNP Good Mornings and HT Galactic Unicorn Skin.
The one that I regret buying is Hermit Crab. I thought it would be pinker but it’s a coral and I don’t like that.
Maelstrom is unbelievably lovely. Fool’s Gold is a great topper.
gosh hermit crab did a dance on my wishlist but watching swatches convinced me it was too coral
My HOH learns more purple so I am a little sad seeing how blue it is in your swatches.
I am hoping to get some Holo Tacos I don't own yet depending on the sale.
Also hoping to get my first Zoya order placed.
Mooncats customer support is amazing I'm sure if you send them a photo and ask if its correct they can help you!
I also love love stumped! Did you know it was nearly voted Mooncat's ugliest polish??
IKR?!?!? how could they?! do they not have eyes to see how beautiful it is?!?!?
🖖
Man, Mooncat makes some gorgeous stuff; I'd love Stumped, Velociraptor, and Flight of the Monarchs when they fix their bottle issues. And I'm a sucker for multichromes in general. The overly edited photos turn me off the website, though.
If you love blue and green combos, Serpents of Eden and Root of all evil will tickle your brain 😁

Just in case you haven’t found it yet, their sale begins Friday Nov 22 at 9:00AM EST 😊
I was also disappointed by Millenia, and Enchanted Mist
Omg maybe ive been living under a rock but ive never heard of anyone else discussing how inaccurate Mooncat’s swatches are!!! Most of my Mooncats looked nothing like the swatches on the website, leading me to donate many purchases :/ I do think swatches have gotten better with new collections tho!! What do you think?
I think they were improving for a little bit but they have slid back to over editing.
Dont you own Encryption key and liked it? Because I consider that a coral
Yes yes I will pick up merkitten with this sale :P my smile line basically doesn't exist ^^
I wanna buy Flight of the monarchs but I own Ethereals (?) Calcifer and I feel like I really don't neee both 🙈
I will get catfished specifically because of your dupe it out series 😊
Encryption Key is red I'll die on this hill lolololololo I hope you love catfished
@@WoWLinry that's okay, but you like a coral 😋
nah you should’ve have to read the fine print to find out they’re using a black base, the pics were misleading, not your fault!
