Moon Shine Mani August Facebook Group Custom + Add On + All About That Base

Indie Polish Wednesday, August 25, 2021

Moon Shine Mani August Facebook Group Custom + Add On + All About That Base - Press sample

Today I have two new shades and one new basecoat from Moon Shine Mani to share! We're revisiting an old favorite with the Comeback Collection, previewing a new group custom, and adding a new base coat.

All About That Base - Opacity-Boosting Base Coat

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: Sheer, color building base coat

Coverage: 1 coat

Price: $8

Notes: This is great for building up sheer colors. Simply use one coat and then layer your favorite sheer over the top. You may find that this lets you use one less coat of a color nail polish. The first swatch photos shows one coat vs a bare nail for comparison.

Blackberry-licious

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: deep blackberry jelly packed with micro holo flakies and silver and red holo microglitters

Coverage: 2 coats

Price: $12

Notes: This is the Facebook Fan Group Custom for August. This color will be available through September 20th.

Out for What Do You Need That Gun? 2.0

purple nail polish with flakies in a bottle

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: cloudy light lavender crelly filled with aqua to green shifting soft ghost flakies and navy/aqua/green shifting multichrome flakies

Coverage: 3 coats

Price: $12

Notes: This is the Comeback Collection Add-on for the month of August. This was originally part of the Boom I Still Got It Collection. You can view swatches of the original version here for comparison. The new version uses a different flakie due to increase the color shift.

Moon Shine Mani Blackberry-licious and Out for What Do You Need That Gun 2.0 will be available on Friday, August 27th at 9am pacific. Moon Shine Mani's All About That Base is currently available in the shop.

blue nail polish with color shifting shimmer swatch

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: cloudy pale blue-grey with strong pink/red/copper/gold shimmer

Coverage: 2 coats

Price: $12

Notes: This color was inspired by OPI Sugarplum Yum. The inspiration polish has a pearl-like duochrome shimmer but the multiple shimmers Phoebe chose in order to highlight the sunset shades of shimmer in the MSM polish are larger particle which does not replicate a pearl finish but does give a strong, beautiful shift through pink/red/copper/gold.

All colors featured in today's post will be in the Moon Shine Mani shop on Friday, August 13th at 9am pacific. They Dare to Call Me Irrelevant is the add on color to the A Trained Chanteuse Collection. This color will be included free with the purchase of the A Trained Chanteuse Collection when placed from August 13th at 9am pacific through August 15th at 9am pacific.
