OMG STEFANIE. HATS OFF TO YOU. MUCH RESPECT. ya'll know that she literally got this package yesterday (our fault) and somehow got this video up already today!?! my procrastinator self bows down in admiration of your speed and work ethic. as always, thank you for the swatches and detailed review! they look so glowy on you! it's always a surreal and fulfilling moment watching the magic of each collection come to life and you always do them such justice. ✨

[@PolishedYogi]

thank youuuu Michelle!! i decided to embrace the chaos and pandemonium myself by speedrunning this lmao but you and the team knocked it outta the park with these!! 🤩🤩 i want to swim in and/or drink these shades UPP

[@Raneshep]

Amazing collection as always. I hope you come to Nailland (one of the EU distributors) one day. Getting my PPU and Mooncat all in one place would be heaven.

[@mlwgurl]

Your comparison section probably takes so long to film, but it is the most helpful thing ever! Thank you!

[@PolishedYogi]

i truly appreciate that!! it def can take a little while, sometimes that section is longer than the actual swatches of the collection lol but i’m so glad theyre helpful 💗

At this point I’m just obsessed with mooncat

saaame, they’ve been killing it with their collections!

[@polishedtopurrfection]

Everyone else: Dark shades for Summer?? Australians currently in the middle of Winter: This is perfection 👌 Thanks for the review, love how informative your videos always are! 💙

[@PolishedYogi]

omg so true lol 🥶 but yay so glad you loved this vid & collection! 🤗🤗

[@tomjones2157]

Don't forget your New Zealand cousins!! 😄

[@heidiheaux7007]

It feels like it’s going to be winter by the time they finally restock 😫

[@ThatSoundsBoring]

I appreciate your comparisons so much, it’s so helpful because it’s really difficult to figure out the actual colors of polishes from a stand alone photo/video! Boutique and indie brands, in particular, are hard to find comparisons for and I’ve ended up with so many dupes and close enoughs that it’s making me feel somewhat foolish.

[@PolishedYogi]

aw thank you!! yeah I feel like it’s kind of hard to find comparisons for indie/boutique brands but I definitely do my best to include them, even pictures for shades I can think of but don’t have! and noo I mean I do understand feeling a bit silly accidentally buying dupes, but it just means you really like that color! 🤣 I’m def guilty of it too though hehe thankfully we can always destash/gift extras!

[@MissBinkerton]

Gorgeous collection. Even if some colors are similar, I like that there are finish options for similar colors! Glad it isn't LE and I don't have to rush to grab anything 😅 Gates of Hell reminds me of ilnp's Eclipse, but I will absolutely still grab it. Thank you for the video! Your comparisons are so helpful!

[@PolishedYogi]

yes thats so true, they’re soo different finish wise that I think its easy to justify having them all 🤣 and oh yeah! i dont have Eclipse but I always heard its similar to Double Dare, so i imagine its more black leaning than Gates of Hell. still worth getting imo 🤩 but yay i’m so glad they were helpful, thank you so much for watching! :)

[@tainadelcaribe]

The purple and the red/black/maroon are my favorites! Wow! That red/black looks like a galaxy in a bottle with that reflective glitter! 🤩 Also, and because people probably don’t bother to tell you, I appreciate that you put the names of shades/brands in the video and give credit typed in the video also. I love that you take that time! Excellent work ethic, because of that, the quality of the video, and because if the brand owner is praising your promptness that says you are that way!

[@PolishedYogi]

aren’t those gorgeous?! 🤩 and oh I actually dont think the red/black has reflective glitter, unless you meant the HT one! and aw thank you so much for that!! 😊 I know quality wise my videos aren’t the best (I only use my iPhone to record everything lol) so I try to make up for it in other ways! so that really means a lot that you & others notice and appreciate that :)

[@hockeychick216]

YES! I'm so happy you are swatching these.

[@PolishedYogi]

aw thank you!! 💜

so glad you love these!! and YESS that was my first thought too about Gates of Hell hehe 🦂 but yay I’m glad you already having that HT shade!! 🩵✨

[@liz032181]

I almost didn’t get the orange and teal because I thought they were similar to catfished flight of monarca . I’m so glad I picked up the entire collection they are different. Thanks for your review

[@PolishedYogi]

oh yay happy you grabbed them all before it was sold out! yeah those are definitely different enough to justify having hehe thanks for watching! 🤗

[@mandyb120]

I love River Styx, Gates of Hell , Pandemonium and House of Hades. I feel like I don't need Pomegranate Seeds or Stolen Ambrosia since I already have A Very Merry Unbirthday and Molten Lava.

[@PolishedYogi]

yeah my thoughts exactly!!

[@amandasevilla282]

I was looking for the comparison specifically on flights of monarch to stolen ambrosia. Thank you!!

[@PolishedYogi]

happy to help! 😁🔥

[@astridfast7897]

Thank you for beautiful swatches and great comparisons 🌸 My polish collection mostly consists of Holo Taco and I’ve just recently found Mooncat so I’m really glad you did some comparisons of HT shades. I won’t pick anything up ATM since Holo Tacos release tomorrow is LE and I want that. But next month or so I will definitely pick up at least house of hades ☺️

[@PolishedYogi]

of course!! omg yeah tomorrow’s launch is excitinggg 😄 but yay for having House of Hades on your wishlist for now, it’s a beauty!! 💙

[@nluther22]

Gorgeous collection! Definitely putting me in the mood for fall 🍁 🍂

[@PolishedYogi]

omg you’re so right!! 🍂

[@s_-cv9uq]

Wow thanks for the prompt swatches and comparisons! I'm happy with very merry unbirthday being similar since it is LE and was most curious about that comparison!

[@PolishedYogi]

of course, thanks for watching! and thats true, it wont be around forever and Pomegranate Seeds will def fill that void 💜

[@lillymj]

I ended up getting the blue, orange, and the shifty dark red. But you make me want river styx and the bright red one too 😭😭 awesome review as always and I love the spooky music you put in the background

those are such gorgeous shades yay so happy you grabbed those! and haha i knoww river styx really is so pretty!! same with pandemonium 🧨 but thank you soo much 🤗

[@_maxgray]

Dang it, I have such a hard time with Mooncat's caps that I wasn't planning on buying from them any time soon, but these are so tempting I'm reconsidering.

[@PolishedYogi]

oh i’m sorry to hear the caps dont work for you! 😓 have you tried using any replacemnt caps like from KBShimmer? i think those are 15 ¢ each!

Hi Stefanie! Great review and it’s insane how fast you get these vids out for us! Thank you for your hard work :) I was also wondering if you’ve ever tried the brand Cuticula before, specifically their base and top coats?

[@PolishedYogi]

hii marie! :) thank you soo much, i worked haaard to get this up asap for everyone! decided to fully embrace the chaos and pandemonium of this collection 😅 and yes i have tried Cuticula!! i love their Mic Drop base coat, i think I shared it in my nail care/essentials video! i havent tried their Limitless topcoat but want to esp after seeing caitlinswatches rave about it haha!

[@Marie-vg8iq]

@@PolishedYogi omg I’ll have to go watch that video then! I really hope you check out that top coat too, maybe scented? I got it in the scent “sorcery” and I’m just soooo excited 😭 I can’t wait for it to be delivered! I’m currently using orly Bonder and orly top coat and I’m ready for a change :)

[@jen8778]

Whew, these are STUNNING! 🤩🤩So inky, glowy and vampy! Quite the needed cool down from all the neon and blazing hot weather --- def. putting Pomegranate Seeds, House of Hades, and Gates of Hell on the wishlist. I'm still in neon mode, but these will be awesome come fall/Halloween. As always you rock for these swatches and comparisons 😊

[@PolishedYogi]

omg inky is a perfect way to describe them lol!! but yess totally agree with you! this was quite a refreshing release considering the hellscape inspiration 🤣 but thank you so much for the love!!

[@mstracy22]

Thank you for helping us with this review.. we appreciate you and everything you do!

[@PolishedYogi]

that means the most, thank you so much!! i’m happy my videos can help 🥹🥰🤗

[@MrRogersTrolley]

You have great reviews.I absolutely love your comparisons, thank you! I ordered this collection, and I'm hoping Stolen Ambrosia and River Styx aren't dupes for more of H.T.'s Lite Mode collection shades. IMO, Ultra Hot is a perfect dupe to H.T. Sunset Simulation, so hoping that was just a fluke.

[@PolishedYogi]

thank you soo much!! that really means a lot 🥰 oh yeah I don’t have Ultra Hot but i can see how thats even closer to Sunset Simulation 😯 let me know how they end up comparing though!! i think they’ll be similarrr but not exact dupes lol

[@lillymj]

Ugh I’m so in love with the orange

[@PolishedYogi]

its a beauty!! i love how warm it is ❤️‍🔥

[@alyssa2891]

wow I *love* this collection -- I'm definitely thirsting after House of Hades, but I'm really worried it's too similar to ILNP's Midnight Kiss, which I already have

[@PolishedYogi]

so glad to hear that! and ohhh thats def a close one! i dont have it sadly but it looks super similar just from pics. i hope you’re able to find a comparison of those!

[@hollow.huesss]

House of Hades is so good, that blue glows soooo bright I need it! 🤩 I wonder if layering River Styx over a dark blue creme would it end up looking sorta like Gamma Ray Blaster... still a bit sad gamma ray was discontinued tho, such a pretty color

[@PolishedYogi]

omg did you end up getting it before it sold out?! and yeah thats true, i have to try that out! it probably wont be an exact dupe esp over a creme, but will def give a similar vibe. i know though, Gamma Ray Blaster is a beauty 💙

[@andreabengtzen643]

I love this collection!!

[@PolishedYogi]

It’s soo good!

[@evayaaasantewaa448]

Those colors are gorgeous!

[@PolishedYogi]

so glad you think so too!! truly breathtaking shades 🤩

[@JackOllie4]

Well, I got Gates of Hell and House of Hades right at launch time ... but I obviously need to place a second order for River Styx!

[@PolishedYogi]

thats great you snagged it before it sold out!! and oh yess River Styx is def worth another order hehe

[@saranyabiswas2057]

Thank u so much I am so curious about the house or hades

[@PolishedYogi]

it’s a stunning polish!! 🤩💙✨

[@cynthiajfaulkner8655]

Not sure where you live but it’s been feeling hot as hell around here! I loved that Michelle said the blue was inspired by Asian art doing blue for flame and it really is the hottest burn. I NEED River Styx and plan to grab Plankton, too. I wasn’t sure about Gates of Hell, but your video convinced me. I think they could have kept Con Artist (unless like the orange they have 3 more reds to come). I don’t have Con Artist. Ambrosia will go great with my orange mix. It sounds like the formula for Pomegranate Seeds is better than Very Merry Unbirthday, so if they’re similar, I’m inclined to grab it. Skipped that in the LE.

[@PolishedYogi]

its only just getting hot here!! i feel like the first half of summer was super gloomy/rainy 🌧️ but now the humidity is here 🥵 and i saw that!! i LOVED seeing that inspo come thru for this collection. i do hope you get those soon, Gates of Hell is insaaane 🤩🤩 yeah i think they could have kept Con Artist too, its def different enough imo but at the same time i didnt lovee the formula for it, its almost a bit lackluster compared to others? i might just try layering it over a red or something for more oomph. but yes i think i’d say Pomegranate Seeds is better formula wise! they both need 3 coats to look the best though

[@ariannasv22]

I did the instagram slider thing and it seemed like my tastes are opposite to most people. Where I really liked a shade people didnt seem to like it as much, and there was like one shade it liked but didnt love but most people seemed to really like it lol

[@PolishedYogi]

omg lol! its def always interesting to see how much peoples tastes vary 😝

[@elaynejuten9084]

So beautiful! River Styx looks so much like Holo Taco’s Lite Link (at least on camera).

[@elaynejuten9084]

and I should have watched the entire video before commenting! lol

[@PolishedYogi]

LOL 😝 yeah they definitely are super similar! i’m sure we’ll see some comparisons at some point, probably on reddit lol!

[@heidiheaux7007]

In the eternity I’ve been waiting for the House of Hades restock, I’ve decided to go ahead and get the whole darn collection as soon as it’s back. 🤷🏾‍♀️💅🏾

[@PolishedYogi]

LOL totally valid honeslty 😅 crossing my fingers it’ll be restocked soon, i cant believe they’re already releasing the next collection this friday!! 🙈

[@heidiheaux7007]

They finally restocked today!! Never purchased anything so quickly!! @@PolishedYogi

[@JackOllie4]

I never had Gamma Ray Blaster, but I'm thinking that a coat or two of River Styx over House of Hades might be a similar look. I'm definitely going to give it a try, anyway!

[@PolishedYogi]

oh thats true! yeah I thought maybe layering it over a blue creme would give a similar look, I think it would look a bit more different over House of Hades but probably in a much more interesting way!

[@Abril-1234]

I feel like Stolen Ambrosia is if Molten Lava and Flight of the Monarchs had a baby lol

[@PolishedYogi]

literally so accurate lol! 😝🔥

[@janetdunleavy3926]

I can’t believe the set already sold out! My favs of the collection are House Of Hades, Pandemonium, and Gates of Hell. I’ll def be picking them up once House Of Hades restocks. I love the theme! I do wish there had been a emerald type green in the collection though.

[@PolishedYogi]

so crazy!! people went crazyy for House of Hades but tbh i’m not surprised, the glow is insane 🤩 those are great picks!! you’re gonna love them ! and i totally agree, a deep jewel toned green would’ve worked so well in this lineup, i’m kinda surprised they didn’t include one!

[@janetdunleavy3926]

@@PolishedYogi totally. If I could have only picked one it would have been house if hades. Second would be pandemonium! I love how glowy they are! 😍

[@jeezjamie]

I felt 3 of the polishes were almost the same color as other polishes, just different finishes, and it was a bit of a disappointment for me. They're gorgeous, but I prefer flakies so why would I pick up Pandemonium over Shroomdom? Or River Styx over Catfished?

[@PolishedYogi]

i totally get you! they basically are the same colors, but i think its great they included them for people who don’t like flakies 😅 i do hope its not something we see often though, while i love both finishes that can def get boring quick !

[@susannoel7760]

Love all of them! I wasn’t going to get them, but now I want them! Too bad they’re already sold out…

[@PolishedYogi]

i’m glad you love these! but aw yeah, once House of Hades is restocked though you’ll be able to grab the set 😁

[@indbtly_kendra]

Stolen Ambrosia is basically Molten Lava in the Flight of The Monarchs formula lol. I love oranges, but mooncat definitely needs to take a break from orange for a while (except maybe a nice deep burnt orange for fall). 😅

[@PolishedYogi]

truly their love child lol but I defff would love to see a deep burnt orange for fall omg!

[@TorenSpaceQueen]

I always check your mooncat vids before I do a big pickup. They just don’t represent well in pictures. And you show them the best in videos😊

LOL oh nooo 🙈 what did you end up doing? were you able to snag it before it sold out bc of House of Hades?? if not, at least that bought you some time 🤣 these aren’t LE either so there’s no rush either way haha but thanks so much for watching! 💙
