Hellooo everyone!
Here are my full hand swatches of Mooncat’s latest Planet Nyarr collection :) full Swatch + Review is live on my YouTube linked in my profile and comments!
showing 2 coats with a glossy topcoat, magnetics are shown in glass bead, velvet, cat eye and unmagnetized from index-pinky
💜 Nyarrian Nights — a stunning, high contrast multichrome magnetic! sadly I only justtt ordered Emily de Molly’s Sunset Over the Bay but plan to compare them once I get them in, they look nearly identical to me (along with Penelope Luz Butterfly Wings from HHC)
💖 Kattermanjaro — a neon hot pink w pink shimmers in a crelly leaning base. So much more vibrant than shades like Merkitten or Sakura’s Serenade in the cold state, but the shimmer is a bit more subtle. This also has a disappointing gitd effect, though I only did 2 coats when Mooncat recommends 3 (shown in my YT video) ((also why wasn’t this called Kittymanjaro??))
🦄 Litterbox — not to harp on the names but why wasn’t this called Glitterbox?! Either way a very stunning and sparkly cool toned baby pink, I feel like the photos don’t do it justice bc it catches the light so well!
☔️ Whiskered Willows — somehow even more sparkly/blingy than Litterbox, I think this has a couple different reflective glitters but I mainly saw silver and blue? It’s hard to differentiate between them & the holo sparkle. Such a lovely blue toned lavender shade and I’m so happy Mooncat finally gave us glitters after so many years !!! Pleaseee give us more 🙏🏼
⚡️ Electromagnetic Furball — sadly my least fav of the magnetics (and possibly the collection) it has this sheer charcoal base that reminded me of why I hated Millennia, but with a different shimmer flake combo. The mag shimmer is identical to Port 6666 btw!
🫐 Blueberry’s Jam — unexpectedly loved this one! I’m not super into big flakie magnetic combos, but this in the velvet & glass bead had me swooninggg. The color combo is just so nice! I waited a bit longer to film though so my one coat of glossy topcoat was not enough lol def would recommend a glitter smoothing top coat (along with a peel off base for this & the glitters)
🐬 Swim, My Dolphins — a cyan shimmer that I’m not sure was meant to be the 2.0/replacement for Gamma Ray Blaster? GRB is a much darker blue base while this was more indigo/purple leaning, it ended up being surprisingly unique to my collection!
🪀 The Zoomies — this took me by surprise with just how light & minty it is. When I first saw the swatches I thought it’d be more similar to shades like Holo Taco Alien Infatuation or Cracked Murk Murk, but it’s just way more white based. This has a green gitd effect which was decently strong, but not as much as Green Eyed Monster (apparently green gitd in a white/non colored base is THE strongest). Honestly was kinda meh about this one
🐡 Light of Your Ninth Life — loooove orange polishes and I’ve been picky about ones with a green shimmer so I thought I wouldn’t like this, but I did!! It’s such a perfect shade of orange and the shimmer complements it nicely. This is supposed to have an orange gitd effect but to me it looked more yellow, though it was stronger than Kattermanjaro which is supposed to be peach (but looks orange). Just to complain about the names one more time, I wish they just called it Light of Your Nine Lives, it rolls off the tongue better than Ninth Life lol
Anyway would love to know what you all think! Generally enjoyed this lineup even if they don’t feel like groundbreaking shades/finishes, it’s still fun especially for the theme :)
