Mariah's Melody: A Pastel Yellow Delight
Mooncat describes Mariah's Melody as a semi-sheer pastel yellow lacquer with color-shifting yellow to green shimmers. While it's intended to be sheer, achieving full opacity might require up to three coats. I found it slightly streaky, even with multiple coats, a common issue with sheer polishes.
Applying a base coat could help mitigate this. The shimmer is subtle yet beautiful, and it does showcase a lovely color shift, especially on a smooth surface.
While not perfectly opaque, it adds a unique touch, especially when layered subtly over a contrasting shade.
Vibrant Coral Pink: Momo Yuyaki
Momo Yuyaki is a vibrant coral pink lacquer filled with color-shifting peach, pink, and orange shimmers. The orange shimmer is more prominent on certain angles, creating a multi-dimensional effect.
Three coats were needed to achieve full opacity, but the result is worth it. The color is incredibly flattering and the shimmer adds a beautiful, subtle sparkle.
This shade is perfect for adding a touch of playful color and sophistication to any summer look. It's a true showstopper.
Thermal Transformation: Koi Whiskers
Koi Whiskers is a stunning thermal polish that transitions between shades depending on temperature. Two coats were sufficient for full opacity, and the color change is dramatic and very noticeable.
This particular shade shifts from a cool pastel to a warmer, more vibrant tone with a change in temperature. It's perfect for showcasing the thermal effect.
The fast transition is a key feature; the shift is visible immediately when cold and warm surfaces are used. This makes it ideal for summer fun – think dipping your nails in cold water!
Sakura's Serenade: Pink Thermal Magic
Sakura's Serenade is a pink thermal lacquer with blue shimmer that shifts from hot pink to light pink. The transition is impressive, making it a highlight of the collection.
The color change is quick and noticeable. The blue shimmer adds depth and complexity to the already captivating color shift.
This shade is perfect for those wanting a versatile pink that can be adjusted with body temperature, creating a unique look.
The Rest of the Remedy Collection
The remaining shades, Ribbit (pastel green with light blue shimmer), Jump Jump Bug (sage green thermal), Do Pearls (versatile silver-blue), and Flying Nimbus (sky blue to white thermal) all displayed impressive color and thermal properties.
Each shade offered a unique and visually stunning effect, showcasing Mooncat's mastery of thermal technology and color blending.
The thermal shifts were consistently dramatic and readily apparent, adding another layer of intrigue and playfulness to the manicures.
Conclusion: A Must-Have Collection?
The Mooncat Remedy collection is a standout for its innovative use of thermal technology and vibrant color palettes. The thermal shifts are exceptionally dramatic and easily visible, making these polishes incredibly fun and versatile.
While some shades like Mariah's Melody might require a little extra care due to their sheer nature, the overall quality and uniqueness of the collection are undeniable.
If you're a nail polish enthusiast who loves unique effects and playful shades, this collection is a must-have. The vibrant colors, impressive thermal shifts, and high-quality formula make it a worthwhile investment.
