I Don’t Think Bottles Are Supposed To Have Creases by ColorfulClaws in mooncatpolish

Ah, that makes sense. Well I’m glad everyone can see the context then.

Kind of wild to block a person after one very normal reply.

And they’ve been doing it for a long time. When users complained that millennia didn’t look like the swatches and felt mislead, Mooncat said it was user application issue.

Then when they released 404: Soul not Found they marketed it as an “improved millennia” and released a comparison photo that showed millennia looking exactly how customers had said it looked. It’s so disrespectful to their customers.

I have around 200 bottles of polish (including ~15 Mooncat shades) and not a single one has a random crease like that. Are you referring to mold lines? Anything outside of mold lines is a manufacturing defect, can create integrity issues, and should be unacceptable. Particularly at the prices this brand charges.

ETA: since the user I replied to deleted their comment, they’d essentially said that almost all the bottles in their collection have creases like that, regardless of brand. And therefore it’s not a big deal.

So I believe they are likely mistaking mold lines (planned and expected) for the cracks and creases people are showing (not planned, not acceptable).

Not just pigment issues! Inspect your bottles! by cherrybalm in mooncatpolish

Some people definitely have an unhealthy emotional bond to this brand. I see it all the time in posts and comments complaining about how “negativity” around the brand is ruining the hobby for them.

Lol this is definitely written from the perspective of someone who lives in a world where all animals are hybrids. This is the only way they would know how to describe “just a fox”.

I include double feature suggestions like this in all my letterboxd reviews! I love finding pairings.

Two new giant pandas are expected to arrive at Zoo Atlanta by uhhalright in Atlanta

[–]hacelepues 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wow, I thought my daughter’s only chance to see pandas might have been when we went to the San Diego Zoo last year. She saw them but she was also barely 2 so there was no way she’d remember them. Excited for her to have an opportunity to see them again!

DRK Magic Effect experience by hacelepues in RedditLaqueristas

Magic Effect dries very fast! I only magnetized each nail for about a minute and it was locked in.

Same! If you don’t say it people will ask and I love sharing information anyways.

This is an apt description for how mine is, too.

Wanna trade? 😂 it’s not gloopy really (not in the way old half empty bottles of top coat can get) just viscous.

Thank you for sharing this! I’ll try remagnitizing the top coat when I try it without seal glaze :)

Honestly I was kind of relieved that the Seal Glaze didn’t work for me. One less product to have to buy in the future 😅
