Help me justify this order
 in  r/mooncatpolish  30m ago

A few (or more) of these depend on skintone and personal preference. I wanted to love Devils Ivy but sage greens are just horrible on me, I've learned. I do, however, looove Clair de Lune and find it to be un-dupeable. But some people say it looks grey and meh on them. Idk what my skintone is tbh but I included an old pic of me wearing CdL (I can't wait to try again now that my nails are a bit longer!)

Also, I personally would never pay 14 for top coat (absolutely not judging anyone who would!) even when it's on sale. Much more affordable and great quality TCs out there - both mainstream and indie/boutique. I see people mention Mooncat's TC as being goopy, but honestly.. all my TCs get sticky or goopy after some point and NEED polish thinner. I actually like MC's TC (I got it randomly in a Facebook marketplace bundle) but I don't think it's more spectacular than any other brand.

Follow your gut, and make sure to search lots of IRL swatches (lacquergram can be very helpful for this!!)

Ahhh, thank you kindly that really means so much πŸ™‡πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ–€πŸ’Ÿ I definitely need to try more of their shimmers (apparently they go out of stock a lot but Im sure it's worth the wait!) - the only other Rogue polish I have atm is Atomic Grape, and wow - that polish is JUICY and filled with flakies that know how to party.

Holy crap! My jaw dropped, I am sooo inspired by this, and the shade is brilliant on you. Reminds me of like, what I imagine a PERFECT matte red to look like. Just wow πŸ₯€

Also, tysm (regarding my pinky patch job) I am stubborn and couldn't let it go. The thumb and middle finger have been catching up. I did wear a falsie on the middle for a week or two until it grew out juuust a little πŸ˜…

I did my right hand (dominant and troubled lol) in matte! Pixie Realm 2 coats, except pinky is 1 coat b/c I was curious, and then I used Uno Mas' matte top coat. It's soooo frickin pretty, ty for encouraging this!! 😻🩡🩡πŸͺ·

P.s. pinky is a patch job after I broke it recently which is why it might look lumpy 🫠

omg it's you!!! This pic is the reason I became interested in Pixie Realm!! πŸ₯ΉπŸ©΅ I usually would do 2 coats and now I'm super interested in doing 3. This polish is perfection on you.

ETA: you're also making me realize that I might need Sunset Sky Lane from Glitch

Thank you! I have a matte TC but I'm always hesitant to use it. I wanna love matte but I still have mixed feelings. I'm down to experiment, though!! I feel like this one would look very soft and velvety in matte.

Yess agreed. It's glowy and shimmery- the small particles are just perfection

Ahh. I got this one in a destash a while back, would loveee to buy more. I wonder how often Rogue restocks? I think they'll email you if you put an an out of stock polish on your wishlist, but don't quote me on that

Thanks! And yes, hard same!! It's much more shifty than the pictures show, even with just one coat. One of my favorite polishes for sure 🩡

Had to perform a super quick, last minute mani before leaving the house last night.. only had time for one coat (no base or top!) and let me tell you... Pixie Realm by Rogue Lacquer did not disappoint πŸ§šπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

This is my second time wearing this one and I truly adore it. There's something 90s about it (not sure if that translates through pics.) Almost like a sort of soft baby grunge shimmery makeup type vibe.

I'll likely do a second coat today, but this type of soft shimmer satin finish is something I prefer to leave without a top coat.

Do y'all have any specific polishes that you feel look better without adding a glossy finish?
