One thing I noticed about MC is in each collection there are two that are basically the same, just one darker and one lighter… Fields and Garden are just TOO similar to justify making a whole new polish, in my (dumb 😂) opinion. But man, these colors are gorgeous! The price point for the collection kinda took me back though a lil too…

It definitely can be annoying if you wanna buy the whole collection, but I still do appreciate the subtle difference in them and just having the option! Bc even tho I prefer the lighter shade, I know others would prefer the Olive 😝 but I do hope for future collections they won’t continue to have such similar shades in the same release! And yeah it’s def pricey, it’s a big collection! 😅

Thank you for uploading on launch day Stef! I picked up Garden of Evil, Freshly Bitten, Love Bomb, Fields of Elysium, and The Trouble of Immortality. I skipped the thermal, magnetic, and the sheer/lighter shades because there's other colors from the brand that are too similar. I love the way Mooncat comes out with innovative, thought provoking collections. It doesn't just feel like I'm buying polish because there's a deeper meaning behind the collections. I really loved this collection and theme. I hope Michelle continues to come out with collections that go beyond what we typically see or expect. That's what makes Mooncat so special.

Of course!! Yay so happy you already picked up a few of them, that’s a gorgeous haul! 😍 and yeah I couldn’t agree more, mooncat has such an attention to detail with their collection themes and I lovee that so much! This could’ve been released as just a dark/moody anti-valentines day collection but making it a whole storyyy about Persephone is chefs kiss 😙👌🏼 an excellent start to 2024 🙌🏼

Mooncat really set the bar with this collection! Color story is absolutely gorgeous and feels super springy and fresh (but the colors also look like they can be worn any time of the year which is nice from a seasonal wearer's perspective)! Loving all the shimmer shades, but I kinda agree that they can probably be dupable... I think my one critique for this collection (and only if I'm being suuuper nitpicky) is that like 5 of the shimmers use the same purple to red shimmer lol... don't get me wrong, it's a BEAUTIFUL shimmer, but I'm like dang they really went hard with that one! I think my top picks are Lovebomb, Fields of Elysium and Freshly Bitten; also love Garden of Evil and was like ooooh swamp nails before you even mentioned it LOL

I'm going to return to this video many times, you always do so many comparisons! Mooncat semi-dupes themselves so much because of their *vibes.* There are so many wonderful shades that have me going OwO !! But logically... certain sheer polishes drive me up the wall and I'm not particular enough to want all combos of a certain shade. I'm going to hold off until their sale in May so this is super helpful. And thanks so much for Aspen next to Devil's Ivy. The magnetization contrast isn't striking enough for me to want it, but my brain was thinking I didn't have anything close to that in my collection. I could probably toss on a goldish shimmer from holo taco of aspen and be satisfied.

What a beautiful collection…I do love how Mooncat sticks to their kinda grunge-bolder style while still being able to stick to theme super well AND also work for the spring season? I don’t really like thermals because I have short nails and I don’t think the color change would show very well on top of not knowing what color the polish would eventually settle into, but I’m still tempted to get it anyway 😅 besides QotD, freshly bitten, love bomb, and to all those who’ve ghosted me are so tempting! They’re so beautiful, esp that dark burgundy shimmer on freshly bitten and the way that lovebomb builds up
@PolishedYogi
7 ай бұрын
i completely agree!! even though i do love when they do lighter and brighter palettes, these moody ones are so much more their style but still work for the season too! totally get that about thermals, i think the rule of thumb is making sure you love both transition colors so you don't get disappointed when it eventually dies lol 🙈 but so glad you love those too, i think those are def my top 4 with Freshly Bitten and Lovebomb being my top 2! they’re just so 🤤

Thank you Stefanie! I have never stalked a drop before today. But I was refreshing early and hit the collection when it dropped at five minutes to nine! Hopefully that means it will ship today 🙂 Not sure what possessed me LOL! Until now the norm is to wait for swatch videos (especially yours) to be sure I want everything. But I was so emotional over the marketing on this (I am embarrassed to admit) and that the colors are just so delicious, I went for it. Okay. I better get back to work so i can pay for my polish love. Oh and Petals is the one I need to try first.

It's not exactly metallic but not exactly shimmer but not exactly glittery, it's hard to describe and I have tried so many silvers!!

Awesome video and comparisons as usual!! I’ve been waiting for this video before I decide on my purchase! Overall - I do like the story and colour theory behind this release a lot! However, I am getting a bit shimmer fatigued from MC between the last two collections. In this collection alone, there are already 5/9 polishes with a pink/purple shimmer. Garden of Evil and Fields of Elysian are honestly too close (and within one collection no less) for me to purchase both. I wish they had made Garden of Evil a flakie or glitter instead. I’ll probably still pick up Devil’s Ivy, Petals For A Narcissist, and Fields of Elysian. I was really ready to buy the whole collection, but after watching your video I feel like I probably could be shopping a bit smarter. :p

aw thank you, i really appreciate that! I was so happy to have gotten this set early enough so i could have my video live when they launched the collection ☺️ and ahh i hear you, even though i couldn’t disagree more because i loveee shimmer lol, but it reminds me of some point last year when they kept releasing a lot of flakie polishes and some people were tired of that 😅 i also feel conflicted about most of these polishes having the exact same shimmer.. on one hand i get it because it really tied them all together, but i also wouldn’t be mad if at least 2 of the polishes had a slightly different color 😅 but ohh those 3 would still make a great haul!! i know the whole collection is so beautiful and tempting though lol 🙈

Not gonna lie.. i just bought these without watching any swatch videos or even reading the descriptions 😅 thank you for the comparisons!! I was worried about succulant garden being a dupe i'm also worried that magnetic is the same as Cirque soda shoppe 🤦♀️. Got a little too excited there. Those 2 greens are really similar as well.

Oo that’s bold! I’m glad these called to you so much though hehe and yeah thankfully Succulent Garden is different enough to justify having both!

Just looking at the bottles initially, I thought I'm gonna grab at least 4, but ended up with one that I really had nothing like this in my collection - Fields of Elysium. Lovebomb looks like a dupe for Monarch Lacquers "Heart's Desire" that came out a week or two earlier.

This collections makes me think about the cycle of life when flowers are beautiful and then they start to get dry and die. I like how this collection play with opposites into a cohesive color story. My favorite is lovebomb, but I’ll wait until the Lunar sale to get it. For the rest of colors I will hold myself to buy something else because I have most of the polishes you used in your comparisons (as always, the best part of your videos). Did you say that Very Valentino and freshly bitten are the same base color?

yess i had that thought too!! it’s so beautiful and i love that they were able to capture that with nail polish 😍 Lovebomb is definitely a favorite for me too, along with Freshly Bitten because of course i can’t just choose one 🤣 i’m so glad you found my comparisons helpful! yeah even though this is a beautiful line up, we definitely have seen these colors/finishes around before - someone else mentioned To All Who Ghosted Me looks like Ethereal’s Coffee Cloud! and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a BKL dupe here too haha. but Very Valentino & Freshly Bitten have nearly identical bases; i did a quick dab of each on a napkin and VV is more like berry purple and FB is like a mauvey red, so i think that difference is more noticeable on one coat but once you build it up in 2 its harder to tell apart bc the shimmer is so similar! i hope that helps :)

I don’t buy thermals anymore cause my collection’s too big to wear them enough before they die, but I do like how this one will look good no matter where in the spectrum it dies! One other thought-I really wish Mooncat hadn’t put the micro holo glitters in most of the shimmers. It’s so visually disruptive and irritating. I’ve always hated it in Cirque’s shimmers, and I hope Mooncat doesn’t start going that way too.

i totally get that about the thermals, i was torn to see them come out with one bc on one hand its beautiful, but I already wonder how long it’ll last 😣 i know that means we should just wear it more often lol but its hard when we have bigger collections like you said! but omg i couldnt disagree more about the holo sparkle in their shimmers lol thats my fave finish! 🙈 but at least they didn't put them in every shimmer in this collection, so maybe they’ll continue to have “plain” shimmers too.

The comparisons are SO helpful. I've been wondering how close Very Valentino was to Freshly Bitten since I already have it, and this confirmed that I can skip the new one. I also have that Lyn B shade from PPU so I'm safe from another new buy. Based on all this, I think the only one I really want is Petals For A Narcissist, which is great cause I'm really working on exercising restraint in my purchases this year. A little off-topic, but how do you find the application of Head In The Clouds? It looks a bit thicker than the comparison shades but it is interesting to me color-wise.
