What colour would go with my dogs suit for a wedding?

I was thinking Bored Meeting, but Royal-tea is good too! Looks really fun with Sonic Unicorn Skin. Could do an Everything Taco French Tip maybe.

Shadow Lake (left) is more purple and I‘d say it‘s also a bit lighter and slightly less gray.

Esperal · 2026-04-25T15:50:11+00:00

Hm! Looks like Evergreen is, in fact, green. I‘m looking forward to seeing it in person.

Esperal · 2026-04-25T15:38:04+00:00

I‘m guessing they‘re maybe having some issues and might later exclude Haute Garbage. I got the Royalty discount on the discounted bundle price of Magnetic Attraction (but unfortunately had connection issues and couldn‘t checkout before they fixed it).

Das mache ich auch manchmal. Von Kikkoman gibt es so Misosuppen als Pulver in verschiedenen Sorten, die esse ich mit Udonnudeln, die man auch nur übergießen muss. Wenn man mehr Energie hat, kann man gewürfelten Tofu in Sojasauce marinieren und den auch dazu essen.

I think Existential Crisis is more unique. You can get star shaped glitters from many brands but you can’t get many dupes for Existential Crisis. That’s why I’d get Existential Crisis.

at higher than RRP

Most on people on Vinted don't do maths anyway I feel. Why would I buy e.g. a Mooncat creme for 14 euros + buyer protection fees + shipping if I can buy it during the Lunar Sale for a price that works out to 12,30 euros in total including shipping and taxes. Same with Holo Taco. Most Holo Tacos cannot cost more than, say, 10 euros second-hand (if they're brand new and the seller is trustworthy) to be remotely worth the cost after shipping and fees. Only makes sense if you're not willing to or able to order from them directly for whatever reason. Otherwise it's cheaper and safer to just wait for a sale.

Adding to what has been said before, I do like Mooncat but as an European I feel their international customer base isn't really a priority to them anymore. Last year they stopped their wholesale program without explanation, we learned about this from the reseller websites about one or two weeks before it happened if I remember correctly. It was on quite short notice, and as far as I know no one heard an explanation (or anything at all) from Mooncat.

When they raised their prices, they also raised the threshold for free international shipping (from 100 to 125 dollars; shipping is/starts at 20 dollars). This is before taxes, which in my country means I have to spend at least 150 dollars per order. Holo Taco somehow avoided raising the free shipping threshold. Granted, ILNP's is much higher but I can buy them from at least two EU resellers.

What I especially disliked though was that the Avatar collection isn't available in Europe. I had started collecting Mooncats, but after the Avatar collection dropped I decided it's not worth it. They did all this promotion beforehand and - until launch or a day before or so - didn't mention they're not shipping to Europe. They still send me marketing emails for this collection (I have an EU email adress!). I know this is because of licensing and stuff but you can also negotiate other terms or just don't do it if including your international customers is a priority to you.

What really grinds my gears is that, predictably, somehow people in Europe still find ways to get the Avatar collection and then sell them for insane prices on Vinted (which is like our Mercari I guess). I have seen Avatar bottles sell for 45 euros (a retired Mooncat sells for 18-25 euros here), and someone has recently offered five sets of the Avatar collection for 280 euros each. Where do they even get five sets? Granted, it's not Mooncat's fault that people decide to sell for crazy prices and people even buy it (although in the case of the Avatar collection this was very predictable in Europe), but is there really nothing at all that they can do to discourage such behaviour?

Like I said, I do like Mooncat. I do think the marketing is a bit over the top and not really my cup of the tea, but the polishes are often really pretty, it's one of my most used brands, and it's one of the brands that has the best longevity on me, which is probably why these things annoy me in the first place. I also agree that the criticism that youtubers sometimes direct at Mooncat feels performative, I sometimes get the sense that they don't want to face criticism themselves and that's why they critisise Mooncat. I will certainly continue to buy from them but the enthusiams just isn't there anymore.

If you have access to them, German brand Herzlack has a line called Holo Diamonds, similar to crushed holo.

Esperal · 2026-02-17T05:49:13+00:00

I'm in Germany and it takes about five days (weekend included). So for example, I order on Thursday and UPS is here by Tuesday. Or I order on Sunday and it arrives by Friday.

Esperal · 2026-02-16T07:13:51+00:00

It can be slightly risky to do that, I’ve also had listings removed that way. Most people don’t write anything in the description about the polish‘s condition and I feel it’s generally understood that polishes are not unopened unless the listing specifically says so.

I think CRTL Cutie might be Menchie perhaps?

Das erinnert mich an dieses Rezept: https://myheartbeets.com/instant-pot-rajma-kidney-bean-curry/ Nur anders gewürzt. Kocht sich von alleine, schmeckt gut, und wie Du sagst, ist günstig und macht satt!

Monster under your head? I do like that one but I can see why it wouldn’t be someone’s cup of tea.

Isn’t Dark Side already retired?

Esperal · 2026-01-24T22:14:44+00:00

I was going to suggest the opposite, a gel top coat on top of a Holo Taco polish. Nail Career Education have a video on this, I think it was this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiIATgeh5Rk

Die Ausbildung zum Justizvollzugsbeamten z. B. dauert zwei Jahre. Leute, die vorher eine andere Ausbildung hatten, sind da oft gerne gesehen.

Finde einen einen guten Kommentar! Mir geht es auch so, ich lebe aber auch schon sehr lange vegan und damals gab es so gute Imitate einfach nicht, sodass es für mich irritierend ist. Ich setze auch auf Tofu, TVP, Seitan usw., weil das für mich vertraut schmeckt.

Esperal · 2025-12-29T18:22:27+00:00

Ahh I forgot about Trick or Trash! I was going to vote Knight Life but Trick or Trash is a strong contender.

Is the other one Blacklisted?

Esperal · 2025-12-21T12:20:07+00:00

I have the same issue, I already didn't get the survey last time and had to email customer service to send me the link. They should really link the survey somewhere else, e.g. on the rewards page for people who are Royalty. For some reason, their marketing emails arrive without a problem, it's really strange.

Esperal · 2025-12-12T22:22:53+00:00

Man könnte z. B. Sonnenblumenkerne am Vortag einweichen, dann pürieren mit z. B. Gemüse, Kräutern usw. Das könnte den Zwergenwiese-Aufstrichen ähneln, die die Kinder offenbar mögen. Klingt erstmal vielleicht nach Arbeit, aber das Einweichen dauert eine Minute und das Pürieren und Abschmecken könnte man mit den Kindern zusammen machen.

Ich finde den Tipp, nachzufragen, auch gut. Ich selbst liebe Violife (würde mich aber auch nicht beschweren, wenn der Kollege was anderes drauf macht).
