China Glaze Cowboy, Bye


Happy Wednesday! Today I have Cowboy, Bye from the Gone West Fall 2019 China Glaze collection. This is a brown based, copper shimmer, with holographic microglitter.

China Glaze Cattle Drive Me Crazy


Got the blues? Today from the Gone West Fall 2019 China Glaze collection I have Cattle Drive Me Crazy, a dark blue shimmer. This was such an inky blue.

China Glaze Gold Mine Your Business

Press Sample

I'm heading back into the China Glaze "Gone West" Fall 2019 collection and today I'm wearing Gold Mine Your Business, an antique gold with holographic microglitter.

China Glaze Green With Jealousy


I'm at the finale of the China Glaze Halloween 2019 "To Catch a Colour" collection and I saved Green With Jealousy for last. This is a green shimmer with a teal tint and gold shimmer.

China Glaze Pathological Liar Liar


I'm finishing out the "To Catch a Colour" Halloween 2019 collection from China Glaze and this orange color with micro rainbow reflective glitter was looking super promising. This is Pathological Liar Liar.

China Glaze You've Got Blackmail


I'm on the back half of the China Glaze Halloween 2019 "Catch a Colour" collection and today I have You've Got Blackmail which is a black based textured polish. 

China Glaze Arrest In Peace

Press Sample

The other glitter topper in the China Glaze "To Catch A Colour" Halloween 2019 collection is called Arrest In Peace. This is a light black (not grey) watery base with black shards, black small and medium hexagonal glitter and just a pinch of copper orange microglitter.

China Glaze Get Off My Cold Case


It turns out I had the entire "To Catch A Colour" Halloween 2019 collection from China Glaze here so I figured let's go ahead and finish off this 6 piece set the next few days. Today I have Get Off My Cold Case, which is orange shreds and microglitter along with black small and medium hexagonal glitter all in a clear base.  However, my base is definitely tinted orange, so it looks like this one is a bleeder.

China Glaze Private Side-Eye

Press Sample

This polish is not black. Today I decided to pull from a pile of China Glaze that I had from 2019. I originally didn't know what color this was but it's Private Side-Eye from the "To Catch A Colour" Halloween collection. This is a super dark purple with rainbow reflective glitter, almost a scattered holo.

China Glaze Take The High Rodeo

Press Sample

So on Friday, I showed you a polish where I was testing a prototype top coat. Unfortunately, my top coat chipped the very next morning and because I can't deal with chipped nail polish, it was time to change my polish the next day. Today I have Take The High Rodeo from the China Glaze Gone West Fall 2019 collection. This is a rose-mauve polish with golden shimmer.

China Glaze Monsterpiece

Press Sample

It's been over two years since I wrote about China Glaze. It's funny how this was MY BRAND when I got into the beauty blog world... so much so that I wanted to call my blog "China Glaze Galore." There's a lot that this brand did for me, and did right. They will always have a place in my heart. Today I'm wearing Monsterpiece from the China Glaze x Sesame Street "You Do Hue" collection that came out in Fall 2019. This is a pink scattered holo with a touch of berry.

Morgan Taylor Going Vogue

Press Sample

The finale from the Morgan Taylor Spring 2020 "Editor's Picks" collection is Going Vogue, listed as an antique rose creme. I think I was most excited about this color when I first saw the photos but did it live up to my hype?

Morgan Taylor Barely Buff

Press Sample

Okay. So today's color is one of those "But why" but at the same time, it makes sense. Hear me out. Today from the Morgan Taylor Spring 2020 "Editor's Picks" collection is Barely Buff and this is listed as "palest pink creme." Listen... this is like what you wear to have smooth looking nails when you aren't allowed to wear nail polish that's "loud". 

Morgan Taylor Call My Blush

Press Sample

Continuing with the Morgan Taylor Spring 2020 "Editor's Picks" collection is Call My Blush, which is a soft sheer pink. Much like yesterday's On Cloud Mine, this polish has a jelly consistency.

Morgan Taylor On Cloud Mine

Press Sample

I'm finishing the rest of the Morgan Taylor Spring 2020 "Editor's Picks" collection and the next few are what I feel really are the definition of "runway". Today I have On Cloud Mine which is a sheer peachy pink. This had a jelly like consistency.

Morgan Taylor It's Your Mauve

Press Sample

Gosh, I can't believe it's March already! Another beauty from the Morgan Taylor Spring 2020 "Editor's Picks" collection is It's Your Mauve, a mauve creme. This reminds me of one of my favorite original polishes from another brand that's been discontinued so I was really excited to wear this polish. I did find it to be more pink than purple in color.

Morgan Taylor I Speak Chic

Press Sample

Even though I'd like to forget 2020 forever, I realized that I never got around to sharing the Morgan Taylor Spring 2020 "Editor's Picks" collection. This was a soft feminine collection of nudes and pinks that was supposed to mimic the runways.  Sadly for me, this was also the last Morgan Taylor collection I received from the brand because they moved their press relations in-house and I lost my contact with them. The first color I'm sharing is I Speak Chic, which is a taupe nude creme.

Morgan Taylor Morph With Me

Press Sample

The finale of the Morgan Taylor Illusions Platinum collection is Morph With Me, a bronze duo-chrome that has green in its extreme angles.

Morgan Taylor Seeing Double

Press Sample

It's hard to believe that the Morgan Taylor Illusions Platinum collection came out in mid 2019. Today I have the purple duo-chrome Seeing Double which has an orange shift at extreme angles.

cuccio Cotton Candy Sorbet


It's time for the finale of the cuccio Summer 2020 Rainbow Sorbet collection with Cotton Candy Sorbet. This was listed as a bright violet creme so I stuck it at the end with Lavender Sorbet.
