mooncat 🗿 PRETTY PREHISTORIC collection 🦕 new MATTE formula w flakies & reflective glitter! ✨

[@tarakincade501]

I so appreciate the time and money you put into making these intros. Feels like a gift to your subscribers every time. ❤

[@ColorExpression]

Thank you Tara, I'm glad you enjoy watching as much as I do creating 💖

[@taylormasters21]

I dont know why you're not @ a million subscribers. You're videos are amazing. Soo classy

[@ColorExpression]

🥹 thank you Taylor!! That means so much 💖 so happy to have you here!

[@annhodnett6027]

Discounters and noodles again this month ! At least my nails will be beautiful.😂

[@krisciarubio2879]

This feels like the year of mooncat. I'm really loving their themes and collections. They make for great skits as well ❤

[@ColorExpression]

100%!!! They only get better and better 😍 also, I couldn't agree more 😂 Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@Shelby-lv4jo]

I love how Mooncat is always innovative with their formulas and never afraid to mix lots of different elements. I hope they start experimenting with different colored reflective glitters soon! (Edit: upon further review, maybe this collection had colored reflective glitter in it and I didn’t even notice. Not sure, but if so, oops!) Also, it doesn’t even need to be said, but that intro 😱😱

[@ColorExpression]

I totally agree! I love these new formulas they're creating, and so excited to see what they continue to create!

[@lildarkvixen]

This collection speaks to my child self that was obsessed with dinos 😄

[@ColorExpression]

Yes!!! I used to LOVE dinos as a kid and your comment brought me right back 🥲 thank you for watching!!

[@pokemonhothie1389]

I love to rewatch this video because I own the collection aha. Tectonic Shift is my number 1 favorite polish ever!

[@ColorExpression]

It is seriously such a good set 👏👏👏

[@CHRowan73]

Your intro was epic! Love the collection. These polishes will be fun in the upcoming summer sunshine (I’m in the Northern Hemisphere).

[@ColorExpression]

thank you!! and very true - summer mattes for the win! 👏

[@_maxgray]

I'm glad you showed glossy because I was wondering if there was any way to rescue these from the matte. They just don't have the deep jelly look even with the glossy top coat - you can see that matte layer underneath still. I'm sad, because I'd totally pick these up if they weren't matte! Really appreciate you showing them with glossy so that I don't have to wonder 😢

[@ColorExpression]

Definitely!!

[@crissyjayfae]

Finally! I definitely needed to see your close ups of this collection and your intro was great 💚😂

[@ColorExpression]

Lol once I made all my posts I was gonna go @ you on insta 😂 I hope it helped!! & thank you I’m glad you enjoyed 💖🦕

[@crissyjayfae]

@@ColorExpression oh I’m glad you thought of me 😊 and yes it definitely helped. I’m curious what you have planned for your part 2 so I’ll keep a look out 👀

[@VenusNovember]

5 stars for the intro alone 😂 I just adore the names of the polishes. I’ll be getting Pangea and maybe sabertooth

[@ColorExpression]

Great picks!! I love how Sabertooth looks so smooth when matte but then a sparkly explosion once glossy. & Pangea's color shift is amazing! Thank you for watching 🥰

[@InvisibleRen]

You don’t need to do these wild skits, but you do and I LOVE it. 😂 Imo with these polishes, matte reminds me of the dinosaurs bodies whilst glossy reminds me of the rocks and foliage they would’ve lived with.

[@ColorExpression]

I love those matte v glossy comparisons!

[@megmactir]

I was hoping you would show both matte and glossy! Thank you so much for another great video! I’m looking forward to part two.

[@ColorExpression]

Of course!!! 😎 there might be one in-between but should be out by the weekend 💖

[@michaela3910]

Ooooo that teal velociraptor shade though... that just speaks to my soul

[@crissyjayfae]

Looking back at this Tyrannosaurus Hex looks beautiful in just 1 coat too 💚

[@samanthajerger455]

My new text tone 00:18. Another amazing video, Kyle. Such intricate work that showcases your creativity.

[@ColorExpression]

HAHAHAAH oh my gosh I love it. Thanks for watching Sam!! 🥰

[@samanthajerger455]

@@ColorExpression hahahahaha I was waiting for you to see this comment. It is the best thing ever.

[@frankrosa4179]

I’m wanting the entire collection but will have to be a responsible adult and pay bills first lol. But I’m glad they’ll be around for awhile so I can save up for the $108.

[@Abril-1234]

Okay you've actually won me over to matte... never thought I'd see the day lol

[@rebeccamcskimming2889]

Your intro gave me such a good giggle after a rough week! Thanks Kyle! Mooncat killing it with the fun formulas again!

[@KingOddity]

Thank you SO much for showing them with glossy top coats so I can really be able to tell if I want them since I don't wear matte ever.

[@ColorExpression]

Matte is something I always think "no way" to but then I have it on and I'm like how could I wear anything else!? LOL

[@killertofu5525]

Only picked up Pangea for now but the more I see Velociraptor the more I love it 😍 Will also be curious to see how Tectonic Shift compares to Mermaid Bait IRL

[@ColorExpression]

Those are great picks!

[@frickinfrick8488]

Mooncat has been killing it with the themes, this collection is so cute!

[@ColorExpression]

For sure! ☺️

[@blindfoldme4841]

Sabretooth convinced me I need this whole collection ❤😊

[@ColorExpression]

LOL love to hear it 👏🥰

[@zaprude]

The intro! You are so funny! And the collection looks just so stunning! Thank you for awesome content!

[@mauragormley5483]

Thanks for showing the polishes with the glossy top coat too!

[@Sonsbitchesall]

Mooncat is a *beet* pricey, but she really nailed it with this collection. The color combinations are making me swoon.! Sabertooth is truly unique polish. I’ve never seen anything like that. The pigment is so dense, it’s giving Cinderella vibes 1000%💙

[@ColorExpression]

Yes, totally!!!

[@stephymanis2662]

I just wanna say that I appreciate the effort your put into your intros. Keep up the amazing work!

[@ColorExpression]

Thank you Steph!

[@katehoganmayka4413]

👏👏👏Can't wait to see what happens to our intrepid time traveler!!!

[@ColorExpression]

LOL hopefully nothing too... grave 😂🌠

[@tanjarichards4913]

The Intro is absolutely fab x

[@vmchapman20]

I really appreciate the way you swatch. You're very thorough and I love how you show the whole collection at the end. Thanks ❤

[@ColorExpression]

Thank you 💖

[@tylerwpruitt]

Another fire intro from color expression 🔥🔥

[@ColorExpression]

Haha thank youuu Tyler!

[@PolishedYogi]

The way im excited for your swatches but somehow even more excited for the next video?? I cant wait to see what happens next 😝 but ugh your macros 🤤🤤

[@ColorExpression]

Thank you Stef as always 💖💖💖😍😊

[@vsailorsv]

This collection is the most excited I've been for a polish collection in a loooong time. Each one is so unique and well executed

[@tangie75]

What a fun video! I only bought 3 of the new shades - Tyrannosaurus Hex, Sabertooth and Molten Lava but now I want them ALL. They look so amazing glossy! I'm surprised that Molten Lava looks more pink. I thought it was more red-orange which is why I bought it. I'm not much of a pink girl but it's still very pretty!

[@byzantiquitea]

Wow, I was a bit on the fence about all the matte finish at first, but it really looks good now that I see the swatches! (And hey, I love a good dinosaur theme. lol) Guess I'm getting the whole collection. Also, looking forward to the rest of Scientist Kyle's adventure!

[@jampsonn1826]

Listen, I don't wear nail polish, but if did regularly, Mooncat would likely take all of my money. 😅 I'm just so amazed by how pretty their colors and finishes are, each one has me gasping!

[@ColorExpression]

They do an AMAZING job!!

[@MariaCristina-zb1gh]

Yay I’ve been waiting for this one! So glad I saw these swatches bc molten lava looks so much more pink here than on the website! Like strawberry lemonade. It actually makes me want it more. And sabertooth looks so much more white-based? Anyway love how experimental mooncat has been getting with their shades! Thanks for the review ☺️

[@ColorExpression]

That's a great descriptor for it!! I especially love the pink glitters in it as well 🥰 Thank you for watching Maria!

[@dancesmokesmile344]

9:52 I have an iridescent like that, that I got before I became a nail tech, and I live those types a lot more matte. I always used matte top coat over it. It’s been a few years though

[@DesiD1989]

Total indi vibe from this collection and im loving that!

[@ColorExpression]

Definitely!

[@sektaufeis6139]

The makro shots are stunning! Really looks like scale!

[@ColorExpression]

Truly!!

[@leahgroess5361]

Hnnngggghhh these are incredible! It's absolutely wild how different they look when matte vs glossy. I love how flakies look matte, but the topcoat makes it so much more dimensional! Absolutely stellar collection.

[@ColorExpression]

I couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching, Leah 💖

[@KateTheSleepyTeacher]

I’ve missed your content. Your intros are fantastic!!! Glad you popped back up!

Thank you Kate!! Glad I did for you as well 😍😎

I've been rethinking Matte polish recently. I've been a real shiny girl so far but some of these look great.

[@Abril-1234]

I've been WAITING for this one! Whoo!

[@rebekahbalch5724]

I am order the whole collection. I am so excited!

[@alexandramrojas]

This intro was top tier. I really love this collection. They are all so mesmerizing and beautiful. I love how Mooncat does their collections. I can’t pick only a few! 🫣 Thank you for making this video. Your swatches are super helpful. 💜

[@ColorExpression]

Haha thank you Alexandra! I'm glad you loved the shades as much as I do 😍💖

[@charlottemcveigh2831]

Loved the intro! I love the green Rex one. And I doubt you could watermarble with these but I feel that would be awesome.

[@ColorExpression]

I love that one, too! And that's a great question - please report back if you try it out!!

[@JennSarracenia]

This may have been my favorite intro 🦖

LOLL thank you!

Omg! I used to watch these and think 'I wish I could get them but they don't ship to UK'. Now that Rainbow Connection do them I think ' my bank will hate me again this week. Do I need money for food?' 😂 these are all just gorgeous.

[@ColorExpression]

So happy you get to live that Mooncat life!!! LOL

[@meen0ru]

YaaSssss! I knew this intro wouldn’t disappoint! Bringing it for the girlies every time. 💜 As soon as I saw the swatches of these, I was OBSESSED. The next release will probably be a banger, too. Velociraptor, Raaawr! and Triceratops are my faves. ✌🏼

[@ColorExpression]

Yay! Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 😍

[@ace.of.space.]

love your opening skits always! tricerotops is my favorite looking polish

[@ColorExpression]

Thank you!! Great choice, I love the flakies in that one 💙

[@NightspinSFMT]

Such a funny intro and great review! You just got yourself a new subscriber C: I think last one is my favorite. P.S. I believe that texture in between crème and jelly is called syrup, at least in Korean nail art community.

[@ColorExpression]

Thank you for subscribing!! And for the 'syrup' tip, I have totally heard that before and it is the perfect descriptor 😊

[@lisapiche8900]

This is your best intro yet! 😂👏❤ And this collection looks amazing matte - usually I’m not a big fan but these are wow!

[@monsyd913]

I love your intros! Can't wait to see what happens! I got 4 out of this collection. Sabertooth is my top choice. I also got Velociraptor, Triceratops, and Pangea. Took advantage of the lunar sale and grabbed several others, too 😁.

[@ColorExpression]

Great choices!!

[@heatherlundquist-buffalo]

Loved this and def buying these set ❤

[@shiawasedo]

I’m so excited for my order - I got the whole set because they all look so good together!! Though one hesitation I have with this collection is if the polishes would be long lasting, given it is supposed to be worn without top coat. I guess we could use a top coat on top for longevity, and then do another matte top coat on top to return it back to the matte finish.

[@ColorExpression]

Something in my brain forces me to do it that way, LOL. I just know quick dries make the polish last sooooo much longer!

[@dayzyrules1]

I love the green so much ❤❤ all are amazing tho

[@ColorExpression]

I do, too!!

[@Rose-yc5ju]

[@ColorExpression]

😏🐱‍🐉

[@MaverickMather]

I was wondering how they were going to follow up with Lost in a Folktale, but I am definitely getting this whole collection! I am addicted to matte finish polishes, plus easy nail art is super easy by just adding a strip of quick dry glossy top coat.

[@ColorExpression]

That sounds so fun!!

And the Emmy goes to Kyle from Color Expression!!🎉 😂❤

[@ColorExpression]

* takes a bow while avoiding the dino bite *

[@wanderingoff13]

WOW these look amazing! I absolutely love Pangea, Sabertooth, and Tectonic Shift. Did you wear test them at all? I had a Zoya matte like, 10 years ago, but it was so hard to wear because it would flake almost immediately. Are these really delicate matte? Or have the formulas improved since I last tried them?

[@ColorExpression]

Those are great picks! For the longest wear I'd personally recommend a quick dry top coat and then another matte top coat, that way the QD will dry the layers of polish more solidly 😊

[@lovelylacquerist]

ahh so gorgeous !

[@ColorExpression]

Totally!!

[@gillianmcgrath1929]

Clicked to see Kyle with a dinosaur and was not disappointed 😂❤

[@ColorExpression]

LMAO!!! 😂😂😂

[@frogg272]

How is the removal for the heavy flakies? I was resisting these until this video, but now I can't not get them!

[@ColorExpression]

They were easier than glitter but definitely took a little longer than a creme or shimmer - not TOO horrible though :)

[@nikkumsnails]

Planning on the whole collection...but waiting for the new month to do so!

[@ColorExpression]

Love that they've been keeping shades/ocllections around for this exact reason!

[@nikkumsnails]

@@ColorExpression yes, so glad it wasn't another limited edition release! I know I need to snag those ASAP!

[@lovely122797]

These are beautiful! I don’t have anything from them how is the staying power?

[@ColorExpression]

They last at least 4-5 days without chipping from my experience!! But I change my nails so often I may not be the best test-case haha

[@shannonphillips3717]

what a great collection! when applying, do the polishes dry too quickly or was there enough time to work with the polishes? How well did the polishes wear without a top coat?

[@ColorExpression]

for being a matte formula they actually performed realllly well - I didn't find they dried too quickly during application! I would say for longest wear/quickest drying to top them with a glossy and then matte top coat :)

[@meeprific]

Mooncat is having a 20% off sale starting this Friday, fyi!

Did you get any staining with the blues?

[@ColorExpression]

Tyrannosaurus Hex had a little bit of staining that I noticed, but none of the others did while swatching!

[@kaffhocker]

They're prettier with glossy topcoat. Or is it more pretty? Sorry, I am not a native speaker. However, I appreciate that you showed them both ways.

[@_maxgray]

Technically it's supposed to be prettier, but honestly, if you hadn't said something, no one would guess you're not a native speaker! Your grammar and everything are perfect. "More pretty" would be more unusual but I've heard native speakers say it.

[@kaffhocker]

@@_maxgray Thank you. I had this more pretty in my head knowing the theory one syllable word +er vs. two syllable words go with more +. So although I knew better I was distracted by having it heard the wrong way. Damn.

[@_maxgray]

@@kaffhocker People who learn English formally know more about it than people who grow up with it! I'd never heard of the syllable rule, but now that you say it, you're right, that is usually how it works. Maybe there's an exception for -y words? I'm thinking of words like busy (busier), sorry (sorrier), scary (scarier)...

[@kaffhocker]

@@_maxgray Now that yo say it. yes. I had no recollection of that exception, but I think I would have guessed "more busy" sounds just wrong. Have a nice weekend.
