I wanted to compare some similar reds with orange shimmer. The Atomic is slightly cooler than the Mooncat. The GLL has the most shimmer and glow. The Ethereal is the coolest base, but has a little less shimmer. I'd say the Moooncat has the least shimmer. I included the PFD to not have a bare thumbnail, but it's the most different from the others. The particle shimmer is much larger, giving it a more metallic-like finish.
The formulas were all easy to work with, with a slight edge to the GLL. Its formula was so buttery smooth, and it would have been done in 2 coats. I only did 3 for an even comparison.
If I had to pick, I'd reach for either the Atomic for the cooler base and deeper red or the GLL for that glow! I'm a little mad at myself for owning all of these, but on the other hand ✨️shiny✨️

Thank you for confirming I didn’t need the GLL. They’re all beautiful but I wouldn’t really have noticed the difference had you not labeled them!
Hnnnng that GLL is so stunning
