Considering adding Forbidden Fruit to my mooncat sale order, buuuut cracked is coming out with a dark green based version (basically). I love cracked as a brand and its version is probably cheaper, but I have no anecdotal support for this polish specifically since it hasn’t come out. Meanwhile forbidden fruit has a huge fan club and maybe the maroon sheer base is what gives it the edge?
Thanks! Cracked photo is from the cracked page on Instagram, but sorry if it needs to be marked as a spoiler!

Based on those swatches alone, I like the Cracked one best. I have enough red shifty polishes but very few dark greens that are that dynamic.
I looove Cracked and Unripe is gorgeous, i think it’s maybe the green version of Lahar!
However, since Cracked has a gray base instead of burgundy, a better dupe for the Mooncat would be Cirque’s Delusions of Grandeur, which would end up costing about the same as the lunar sale Mooncat anyways lol. but if you wanted to put off buying it for now, Cirque would be another option.
Cracked gets my vote!
I have Forbidden Fruit and love it but I would say if you want more green tones, definitely go with the cracked one. The maroon base makes it look a bit yellowy in some lightings when you velvetize I find.
