I am super excited to be posting about this next collection! I always love to see some of my favorite Youtubers come out with their own collections! I discovered Phoebe Moon's channel over a year ago. I love her live swatching videos, and the fact that she performs her own background music. I just fell in love her creativity and originality.
She has recently started her own handcrafted nail polish line called Moon Shine Mani. The first collection debuted in December. It is called Elfing Around - inspired by the movie Elf. Don't judge me, but I have never seen the movie, but I've seen many memes and gifs to get the jist of it.
The collection is six polishes - three holos and three shimmers in nice range of colors.
This is the full collection in natural lighting.
This is the full collection with flash. Clockwise from top we have: Jovie (pink), The Naughty List (silver), Buddy the Elf (green), Very Purpley(purple), Swirly Twirly Gumdrops (teal), Smiling's My Favorite (gold).
Jovie is a bright medium pink with holographic shimmer. I wore this over the Christmas holidays in an attempt to be festive without having to do nail art.
Here are a couple more shots in the sunlight. I got a lot of compliments on the polish. My mom was in love with this, so I'll probably have to lend it to her so she can wear it.
The formula was smooth and the coverage was very good.
Next up is The Naughty List, which I think is my favorite of the bunch. The silver/gunmetal base is so rich and the holo came out so strong in normal lighting.

Buddy the Elf is the next polish.. I guess this could be considered the flagship polish of the collection. This is a bold green with tiny gold shimmers sprinkled throughout.
Buddy the Elf with flash. It does go on a bit streaky, but it dries down smooth. I really like the effect the gold gives the green. It's like gold tinsel peeking out from a Christmas tree!
I know I said the Naughty List was my favorite, but Very Purpley is right up there with it! This is a light purple with a strong flash of gold shimmer. Soooooo lustre-y and beautiful! Please excuse my application - I think I nicked it in a few places before I took the pictures. This is really reminiscent of the Native War Paints Sweaters collection polishes that I could never seem to get my hands on. The gold shimmer just gives this polish a dynamic effect.

Next is Swirly Twirly Gumdrops. This is showing up very blue in the photos, but it is a very blue leaning teal. Like the other two holos, it has a great formula and a super strong holo.

Lastly is Smiling's My Favorite. This is a beautiful deep gold with scattered holographic shimmers. This is super opaque and it looks so good against my skin tone! I wore this for the New Year's celebrations this year!

This is a wonderful debut collection from Phoebe! It offers a wide range of finishes and colors - which is a probably a good indication of what's to come from Moon Shine Mani.
