There’s a specific kind of nail polish that doesn’t fit neatly into “glitter” or “matte” categories, and Moon Walk from Formula X’s Celestials collection is exactly that. It’s a glitter white with a micro opal shift that gives it a subtle color-changing effect depending on the angle and light, which is a big part of why it’s become one of the more talked-about shades in the line.
Celestials as a collection was built around a specific idea: fuse rich, matte color with a luxurious, textured glitter finish. Moon Walk is a good example of that idea done well. The metallic micro-glitter goes on with full coverage in a single coat and dries down to a finish that reads part shimmer, part matte, which is a texture that’s genuinely hard to find in a drugstore polish.
The application is where a lot of specialty polishes fall short, but this one was engineered around it. The brush was designed specifically to work with this highly pigmented, three-free formula, which means fewer streaks, less pooling near the cuticle, and a more even coat on the first try. If you’ve ever fought with a glitter polish that looked great in the bottle and messy on your nails, this is the fix.
It’s a shade that works year-round, but it especially shines for anyone who wants something a little more elevated than a plain white or nude for an event, a holiday, or just because. One coat does most of the work, so it’s also fast to apply if you’re getting ready in a hurry.
Moon Walk is on sale now for $7.99, down from $16.99. Given the finish and formula quality, that’s a good price to try a shade that photographs as well as it wears.
