Just had the opportunity to swatch mooncat deadly nightshade vs my bottle of clionadh niello, and it's basically a dupe! Mooncat's is a bit more dark/intense in the base coat color and head on gold shimmer, but otherwise it's a dupe for niello (if you already have it). Here are some swatches! 1: 1 coat of each in bathroom lighting (mooncat top swatch, clionadh bottom swatch). 2: 2 coats of each in bathroom lighting. 3: indirect natural lighting. 4: direct sunlight. They have the same color shifts.

Here are swatches on my fingers (pointer, ring are clionadh; middle, pinky are mooncat). You can see the warmer purple base of mooncat in direct sunlight.

I put on KB Shimmers Hidden Potential this week. I think it’s close to the MC DN but a bit bronzer. I have Niello too and I should have done one nail layered with HP to test if it would pop golder in tone. All gorgeous shifty colours anyway.
