I'm back in the Morgan Taylor Urban Cowgirl collection and today I have Tex'as Me Later. This polish is a coppery-rose metallic pearl color. My bottle has some ugly bottle syndrome going on where there's more of an orange/yellow at the bottom and the coppery-rose at the top.

Morgan Taylor Feeling Swim-sical

Press Sample
So today, we're dipping back to 2020... COVID. Somehow, I not only swatched but wore today's Morgan Taylor Feeling Swim-sical, from the 2018 Make a Splash summer collection. This is a vibrant turquoise blue/teal/green leaning polish that dried a bit matte but wasn't a neon. The above photo is from 2020.

Y'all, it's hot. I cannot wait for summer to be over. Today I have a firey red from Morgan Taylor called Best Dressed. This is a foil/metallic finish with an orange-red-pink shift.

Zoya Cruz

Press Sample

Well ladies (and gentlemen!), I'm at the final polish from the Zoya Beachy Brights 3 collection and it's probably my favorite. This is Cruz, and it's described as a "radiant clear water blue drenched in holographic glitter." I'm here for it.

Morgan Taylor Tan My Hide

Press Sample
Several years ago, my nail polish spreadsheet was super detailed and kept every collection name with the polish and a few additional details. Unfortunately, it was tied to a work account that got deleted without warning and I lost everything. I was trying to find more information on today's Morgan Taylor polish Tan My Hide, and realized it's part of a 6 piece collection called Urban Cowgirl that came out in fall 2015. I've actually reviewed two of the other polishes so I want to go find the other 3 in order to make a collection collage. Today's polish is a very light nude creme with pink undertones.

Zoya Pinkie

Press Sample
I got a little distracted and so I'm working on the final 4 polishes from the Zoya Beachy Brights 3 collection. This is Pinkie, a punchy tropical pink neon creme.

love, Angeline Love At First Sight

Nothing To Disclose

I have one more love, Angeline polish to share - this is Love At First Sight, which is a nude/yellow holographic polish. I can't find anything on this polish online but the brand has closed so that's half the battle.

Envy Lacquer Love, Charlotte

Nothing To Disclose
I have a very sentimental polish today. From Envy Lacquer, this is Love, Charlotte, which is a holographic purple created in 2016 for IG user marindasmanis. This polish was in honor of her daughter who passed in 2007 - the same year my oldest was born. We were a group of women in the Baby Center forums and I remember it was the "Bargain Hunter" forum but I can't remember where the "bhbnails" came from. Back to the polish - we had a short run of the polish.

Cat Tail Nails Grow In The Dark

Nothing To Disclose

Morgan Taylor Denim Du Jour

Press Sample
Did you hear that IKEA discontinued the 6-drawer Helmer and now it's a 5-drawer? Because of this, I'm trying to really go through my drawers and pair down because I refuse to buy a mismatched Helmer. Now somehow, I made swatch sticks of 10 Morgan Taylor polishes and didn't wear them on my nails so I pulled those 10 and here we go! Today I have Denim Du Jour which I think was part of their core release in 2013.

ORLY x Lisa Frank Hits the Spot

This is a full sized polish with tons of blue shimmer, purple shimmer, teal/purple/blue glitter and holographic silver crescent moons all in a clear base.

love, Angeline Did You Say Peppercorn?

Nothing To Disclose

For years I've been looking for THE perfect grey and this love, Angeline Did You Say Peppercorn? has been the closest I've gotten. This matte slate grey has a teeny tiny bit of blue flash and I will cry when I finally run out of it.

China Glaze Gothic Lolita

Press Sample
My nails haven't been this long in a very long time (lol). I know I'm going to have to shorten them soon since it's getting harder to type and I do use a computer every day between work and home. Today I've pulled China Glaze Gothic Lolita from the Spring 2012 ElectroPop collection. I have to say, 2012 was a great year for me and I remember this collection pretty fondly. This was in the "Lights" 6-piece of the collection and it's a purple polish with a tiny hint of a shimmer flash but you barely see it.

China Glaze December to Remember

Press Sample
So here's an oldie! From the China Glaze 2014 "Twinkle" holiday collection, I have December to Remember, a dark blue polish with pink/purple iridescent shimmer. This was part of a 12 piece collection that also had 5 gift sets and 5 nail art kits. No shot glass in this collection but I do have a couple of them from other years.

ILNP Flip Side (M)

Nothing To Disclose
When I was preparing for my work trip last month, I considered wearing an ILNP Magnetic for the days I'd be gone so I pulled out a bunch of them. I thought it would only be right to swatch them before I put them back in my Helmer. Today I have ILNP Flip Side from the Illusions collection. Now, this says it's a magenta to orange to gold sparkle with blue to teal magnetic pigment. That's a mouthful.

Sally Hansen Tidal Wave

Nothing To Disclose
Sally, what are you doing to me? When I saw this opaque blue creme on abe.nailbabe's Instagram, I knew I had to have it. Yes, I know I have Pacific Blue, and On The Download, and Royal Rage but I really wanted to try this one too.

China Glaze Good Tide-ings

Press Sample
It's been satisfying going through my drawers and KonMari-ing my way but also the memories of each new collection that I pull. Today from the 2016 Seas and Greetings collection, I have Good Tide-ings, a lilac-blue creme. This was actually their holiday collection - which was definitely a huge departure from the normal reds and greens of the holidays.

Press Sample
This polish is an oldie but a goodie! From the 2012 China Glaze On Safari collection, this is I'm Not Lion, a gold glitter in a clear base with holo microglitters. I cannot believe I haven't worn this year. This is such a gorgeous polish.

I think this is technically the last color in the love, Angeline Chateau Macaron collection and it's called Parisian Jewel - a light matte purple. I actually really liked this color.

China Glaze Custom Kicks

Nothing To Disclose

It's time for another 2009 polish from China Glaze. This is Custom Kicks from the Kicks Collection. This was a 12-piece neon collection that paid homage to Sneakerheads everywhere. Custom Kicks was listed as a dusty teal but it really was a beautiful teal with the tiniest of gold shimmer.

I'm halfway through the matte polishes from love, Angelina. This is Match-a-Mint, a light green matte polish. I don't have a ton to say about this.

I have another 2009 polish here today from China Glaze. This is Stellar from the Specialty Collection. This is a sandy brown glitter in a light brown base. I was obsessed with this collection - a 50 piece collection of glitters, shimmers, and just beautiful colors. This is the collection that Rose Tea comes from.

Lucky 13 Lacquer Lord of the Dead

Nothing To Disclose
I have another Lucky 13 Lacquer polish from my 17th Pookie's Polish Swap with dc_nails4fun and Lord of the Dead, a blue flakie thermal. The light blue turns to a purple but I could barely get that to work. I don't think this is a dead thermal - I just think my nails aren't long enough right now.

love, Angeline Summer Sorbet

Nothing To Disclose
I have another polish from love, Angelina today. This is Summer Sorbet, an orange matte polish. This totally reminds me of a creamsicle.

China Glaze Cranberry Splash

I was so proud that I had cleared all the nail polishes off my desk and then bam, I have 30 more sitting here but that's a whole month of content so, yay me? Today I have China Glaze Cranberry Splash, a ruby red shimmer. This came from the 2012 Holiday Joy collection which also had some beautiful glitters in it.
