Moon Shine Mani May Facebook Group Custom & Comeback Collection Add-on - Press sample

Hi all! I'm back with two fun Moon Shine Mani colors for the end of May. The first is a Comeback Color Add-on of a popular limited edition color. The second is the May Facebook Fan Group custom. You might notice that the Moon Shine Mani bottles are sporting a new logo. I wanted to share the new look with you all but had to keep it under wraps for a month! I personally loved the old logo because it felt very retro to me, but the new one is a nice, fresh look!

Zoya Easy Neon

Mainstream Polish Tuesday, May 11, 2021

Zoya Easy Neon - Press sample

I am so dang excited to announce that Zoya finally made neons! I feel like those of us who have been Zoya fans for years have been wishing for a neon collection forever. These are marketed as being matte neons, so I opted to showcase the whole collection without a top coat. Just a quick note before we get into swatches, if you choose to wear these matte you will experience a longer drying time.

Banks

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: vivid violet neon with a matte finish

Coverage: 2 coats

Price: $12

Notes: I want to note that Banks appeared to be full coverage with two coats of polish. It looked great while photographing under my lights but appeared significantly splotchy in the photos. It's not noticeable in person, but if you are at all concerned a third coat of polish would be enough to smooth it all out.

Moon Shine Mani You Can Call Me Alice

Indie Polish Wednesday, May 05, 2021

Moon Shine Mani You Can Call Me Alice - Press sample

I have a very exciting dupe to share with you all today! Moon Shine Mani created You Can Call Me Alice as a close dupe of OPI's long retired Absolutely Alice. I haven't seen a dupe for this highly popular release so I was thrilled to hear that one was in the works. The original color was from OPI's Alice In Wonderland Collection that launched back in 2010. Absolutely Alice was so popular it sold out in most locations and was incredibly difficult to find. Since this was a limited release color, once it ran out there wasn't a restock. Thankfully Moon Shine Mani's You Can Call Me Alice is here to stay!

Notes: This color was inspired by OPI Absolutely Alice from the Alice in Wonderland Collection in 2010.

blue micro glitter nail polish comparison

I wanted to give a quick bottle comparison between Moon Shine Mani You Can Call Me Alice vs OPI Absolutely Alice. There are a few differences that are fairly easy to pick out. First, Phoebe decided to use holographic micro glitters instead of the original gold. You'll also notice that the dupe is slightly more vibrant, and the particle sizes are slightly larger. I personally like both colors and highly recommend picking up the dupe if you don't own the original... and honestly, even if you do have OPI Absolutely Alice I still recommend You Can Call Me Alice. I will be keeping both colors in my collection because I love them both!

Moon Shine Mani You Can Call Me Alice will be available on Friday, May 14th at 9am pacific. The Back To Reality... TV Collection Pt 2 will also be launching at the same time.
