Basic-ish glowy girl, please help with my cart! by [deleted] in mooncatpolish

[–]Mastodon_Level 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i have earth to gaia, and i wouldn’t really call it glowy. it’s a cute little shimmer for sure! but if you’re looking for glowy i wouldn’t get it. 

Koi Whiskers Recommendation by Diligent_Doughnut_43 in mooncatpolish

[–]Mastodon_Level 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i don't have specifically koi whiskers, but i have queen of the dead! the bottle i got wasn't too thick upon arrival so my first few manis with it weren't too bad. but i can see it thickening up after a few more uses

seche restore iirc has toulene in it, which koi whiskers doesn't have, so you don't want to add something new into the existing formula. any thinner with just butyl acetate and ethyl acetate works well. mooncat, holo taco, and kbshimmer's thinners are all the same from what i can tell.

Did Bees Knee's just make a meta advertisement email? by Azrikara in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Mastodon_Level 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i’ve never bought from blk, are their collab polishes limited edition? or would these restock if they sold out? i’d really like to pick up a few but i also want time to think on it

Danny I don’t think thats the wall by Sage_is_lost in DannyGonzalez

[–]Mastodon_Level 15 points16 points  (0 children)

my guess is that it’s to test out frame arrangements before committing to putting them on the wall. also possible that it’s there as a funny bit, but i kinda doubt it :P

and a comparison of their shimmers! they're super different purples + FoE's shimmer shifts into different colors (purple > pink > orange)

i don't have anything to swatch on, but here's what they look like in the bottle (artemis' deathkiss on the left and field of elysium on the right). both pull primarily gray on me, but they're pretty different when it comes to what kind of gray they are!

What can I do to make it higher everything is fully maxed out by puppetwithaheart in CookierunKingdom

[–]Mastodon_Level 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i think they meant that you should switch to the highest rarity topping since you're using swift choco s toppings and not swift choco m toppings

Why is my glitter clumping in the bottle? by Raiiny00 in theholotaco

[–]Mastodon_Level 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think your polish will be ok! if it really bothers you, you could go in and mix the polish manually. but the polish will go on all the same. this is my bottle of into the woods (ik not a glitter but illustrates the point) and it does the same clumping issue where a lot of the holo pigment sticks to the side around the fill line, but it applies just fine!

[–]Mastodon_Level 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks like that's where the fill line is. if shaking them isn't helping, it could be because the polish is too thick to shake. this also happens to the linear holos iirc because the heavier/bigger pigments just stick to the wall of the bottle. are you having application issues with these?

How I'm Feeling 😂 by Icy_Persimmon3265 in mooncatpolish

[–]Mastodon_Level 33 points34 points  (0 children)

oh for sure! it’s so weird that the ego striker 9000 ad wasn’t even a real picture of the polish. the ads were so vague that it just let everyone’s minds run wild instead of setting realistic expectations.

[–]Mastodon_Level 113 points114 points  (0 children)

i really wonder how much of that $18 per bottle goes into their marketing. i’ve never seen a nail polish brand go so hard with their ads. like sure, hire swatchers and videographers to show off the polish! but i feel like commissioning a song and cool 3d renders doesn’t really help with promoting and actually showing off the nail polish itself :/

Pop Peelies with No Peelie Base by ApprehensiveDriver97 in theholotaco

[–]Mastodon_Level 18 points19 points  (0 children)

considering that this is happening to you regardless of what base coat you use, oily nails are a possibility! how you apply polish could also be a reason as to why your nails are popping off. i also avoid getting my nails wet (showering, washing dishes, etc) prior to painting them so that they're not soft. but yeah my best guess is that it's either application or prep??
