LeChat Perfect Match Mood Polish

I have three fun swatches to share today.  LeChat Partly Cloudy, LeChat Lavender Blooms, and LeChat Moonlit Eclipse.  These are three of the mood soak off gels.  I love LeChat.  It applies nicely and wears very well for me.  Plus the matching traditional nail polish is fun for pedicures when I don't feel like doing gel.  However, please note that even though the moods are included in the Perfect Match line, they do not come with the matching bottle of nail polish.

These are really fun gels to play with as they are constantly changing throughout the day.  It's the end of August here in the South, which means some pretty warm weather still, but I was constantly seeing these shift regardless of the warmer temperatures.  Though I will say that it was a little strange to look down and realize that one of your hands is much warmer than the other so your polish doesn't match all the time.  :)  Please excuse the water droplets in the pictures.  I had a hard time keeping them in the warm and cold phases over the entire nail. 

Partly Cloudy
LeChat Mood Soak Off Gel Polish
Partly Cloudy is a semi-sheer frost from the first color release.  I wish it was more opaque as the VNL drives me nuts with this one, but a quick coat of nude underneath (aka undies) would make a world of difference.

Lavender Blooms
Lechat Mood Soak Off Gel Polish
Lavender Blooms is one of the newly released colors.  LeChat really improved the formula with this new release.  These are much more pigmented than the first group of moods, and the colors pairings are a lot of fun too.  

Moonlit Eclipse

Moonlit Eclipse is another from the new release.  I'm really loving this one.  I'm a sucker for dark colors right now, and most of the time it looked like a fade while I was wearing it. What you can't tell from the pictures is this has a gorgeous scattered holographic shimmer.  I tried to capture it, but my camera simply refused to pick it up. 

I plan to pick up a few more of the new moods this week, so watch for those swatches in the near future.  :)

  1. Ooh, great pictures! I think my favorite is Moonlit Eclipse. I have one coming: Skies the Limit, but I'm interested in their new reddish ones. I can't wait to see what new ones you get!

  3. Is the warm color of lavender blooms white or pink?

    1. Honestly, I'm not 100% sure. I would call it a soft white when very warm. But it has a slightly pinkish tone when at body temperature.

  5. I realize this is an old post, hoping maybe you'll still answer! I recently fell in love with LeChat's mood colors, or so I thought I did, but I hated the base (thick and would not go on smoothly no matter what I did or swore), and the top coat seemed to cure but was soft - not sticky, just soft and flexible, despite repeating my LED cure at least twice (90+ seconds). I also soaked for 3 twenty minute cycles, first with clips then foil wraps twice, and still had an awful time getting it off! Maybe it's because I ordered from Amazon ... Always worried about counterfeit or altered products -- do you use LeChat's base and top coats?

    1. I have used them but I prefer other brands. The longer soak off is likely from the extended curing. The base has to be scrubbed thin and will feel a bit textured. I don't recall the top coat feeling soft though.
