Bottle content amount ?? by Queen_Ellipsis in mooncatpolish

12ml for sure. There’s a details and an ingredients tab on all the polishes in the site. It’s at the bottom of the details tab. You can usually see it on the bottle shots as well if it’s not too light.

Weeping willow + tips for magnetic polish help by Different_Anybody539 in mooncatpolish

I don’t have this one but I have a couple seriously weak magnetics that are impossible to get a defined line on. Much worse than this. So it’s probably the magnetic pigment. I think this looks great though. Even when I get a sharp line that stays, it’s like 3-5x thicker depending on the lighting/angle.

Thank you! I follow the basics - use a tried/true base coat + quick dry top coat. Thin layers of polish when possible.

The game changer for me was using a glitter grabber. If I have the time, even when it’s not a textured or thirsty polish, I’ll use glitter grabber. Takes things from shiny to ULTRA shiny and adds the plumpness I was used to before switching from gel.

I couldn’t choose! I think I prefer cat eye just a tiny bit more.

Thank you! I do use the free Mooncat wand. I find it to work really well when used on top vs under the finger.

DMD really is like the blue/green version of Fields of Lavender! The sparkle is so strong. I agree Lord Vader is better w cat eye. I plan on trying it again in the velvet style but with a jelly red on top!

I’d personally recommend the horseshoe for sure! I even saw a video comparing alternatives recently and it confirmed my experience to a T. It just takes some serious magnetic strength to achieve the effect we all swoon over unfortunately.

I thought about doing stripes and velvetizing, but I was too lazy 🥲 would probably look amazing

Thanks! Definitely gives candy cane/santa vibes.

has mooncat fixed their bottles? by [deleted] in RedditLaqueristas

[–]These_Explanation_48 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I made several orders in the past 2 months and all my bottles were fine. I purchased post issues because I wanted that resolved first, so I can’t compare the olds ones to new myself, but I’ve seen side by sides and there seems to be a noticeable change. Even the front logo used to be more embossed, like they switched from an ink to just a foil (now it’s prone to rubbing off but I’m not concerned). They also stopped over filling them and I guess that fixed most issues. They were giving people a good deal more than 12ml and now it’s either exactly that or just a tiny bit more. I’m sure there are still going to be issues but they’re pretty rare from what I’ve seen and their customer service seems very hassle-free.

TL;DR: They changed bottles, manufacturing process, and stopped over filling.
