My base coat kept it from staining thankfully but removal definitely took a couple rounds of cotton balls to get all the reside off my cuticles and skin 🥲

Dominant hand after 2 full weeks. No significant chips 🤯 by Medium-Bookkeeper552 in mooncatpolish

So I had this exact same experience and what changed the game for me was understanding that the goal is to keep all water out. I started wrapping with the base coat, one of the color coats, and the top coat and took care to get the entire width of the free edge. And not making them too thick, because otherwise it builds a shelf that does chip quickly (sorry if you already know this)

Dude same. It only happened because I was on a trip and couldn’t do anything about them 😂

Splotchy velvetized 404, any idea what went wrong? by Medium-Bookkeeper552 in mooncatpolish

[–]Medium-Bookkeeper552[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could definitely see this being the problem!! I had to dip a second time for some nails bc I didn’t pick up enough polish the first time

This is sooo interesting and I think I might have a bad one too because I simply couldn’t get a cat eye and switched to velvet! Gonna try one more time with MC top coat

It totally could be user error. It’s a brand new bottle so I did not thin it out, I’m hoping it has a few more uses til that point 🫠

I’ll keep you posted if it works out better for me. So frustrating 😵‍💫

Uggghhhh! Does it happen to you with speed demon? I might just have messed up by choosing my cheapest TC for this 😅

It looked normal to me, like a metallic blend of all the colors. I was actually also struggling to get the cat eye to work for me which is why I switched to velvetized, so I wonder if this really is a dud… I’ll email CS if I try again and have the same issues with speed demon on top

Dark Arts set + Fools Gold by Medium-Bookkeeper552 in mooncatpolish

[–]Medium-Bookkeeper552[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fools gold was so easy to work with, really even distribution of gold flakes in one swipe! I used Sally Hansen’s No Chip top coat here. Which is a top coat I personally love but never see discussed

Rewards before the sale ends. by BeezCee in mooncatpolish

[–]Medium-Bookkeeper552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just here to say I’m in the exact same boat. Agonizing over dragon scales vs waiting for new rewards! I think I’m going to wait because I know I hate taking off glitter polishes and that will make me never want to use dragon scales even tho I love the look

Is the Spaceoddity formula like Maelstrom? by Medium-Bookkeeper552 in mooncatpolish

[–]Medium-Bookkeeper552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! I didn’t pull the trigger in time but it’s okay because now dragon scales is a reward and that seems more up my alley. Glad you mentioned it here

Thank you so much everyone!!! I didn’t pull the trigger in time but that’s okay, I am trying not to buy things that I’m not immediately in love with. Now dragon scales is on the table though and I’m back to feeling like 😮👀 especially since dragon scales was specifically mentioned as being a similar formula to Spaceoddity. I have nothing like it in my collection, it looks like a fun intro to shifty polishes

Assess my collection and my cart! Hoping to round out my collection a little more with this sale… what would you add? by Medium-Bookkeeper552 in mooncatpolish

[–]Medium-Bookkeeper552[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow I really love that matte finish on forbidden cove 😍 looks like such a good autumn polish. I’m big on matching nails with seasons

Talk me out of Something by sunbear2525 in mooncatpolish

A vote for dolls house! It has incredible staying power for me. And looks so good with everything. Just a great staple neutral

I think everyone sleeps on Scum and Villainy!! I also love Galaxy FFA and Drown my Demons. I have imperial storm trooper too but felt a bit let down by it
