I'm moving back to the Morgan Taylor Royal Life collection - Holiday 2013 with Fit For A Queen. This is a red base with red and I think silver glitter... I think my glitter had faded and bled a bit.

Press Sample

So I'm jumping into the Spring 2017 "Beauty and the Beast" Morgan Taylor collection and starting with this pink creme called Be Our Guest. This is a nice, simple pink creme staple.

Morgan Taylor Simply Spellbound

Bouncing around today with a Morgan Taylor from their Fall 2014 Enchantment collection - Simply Spellbound. This is a natural nude creme. I'm a little surprised I didn't get this collection swatched prior but better late than never?

Morgan Taylor Make Me Blush

So I decided to clean out one entire Helmer drawer the other day and pull al my Morgan Taylors from the drawer that I had not worn yet.

cuccio Yes or Gnocchi

Alright, I'm at the last polish from the cuccio "Paradiso" Spring/Summer 2023 collection. This is Yes or Gnocchi, a neutral sand creme. Is it orange? Is it brown? Yes?

cuccio Paradiso

Press Sample

Only two polishes left in the cuccio "Paradiso" Spring/Summer 2023 collection. Today I have Paradiso, which is listed as a bright turquoise creme. I have to be honest - I thought maybe my bottles were mislabeled because this to me looks like mint - not turquoise.

cuccio Grotto Go

Press Sample

I'm getting down to the last few polishes in the cuccio "Paradiso" Spring/Summer 2023 polish. Today I have Grotto Go, which is listed as a bright mint creme. So is it blue? Is it green? What is mint to you? I do love polishes this color thought.

Another day, another cuccio "Paradiso" Spring/Summer 2023 polish today! Today I have Venice to Meet You, a subtle blue silver glitter. This is such a Cinderella polish to me! I was pretty excited for it.

cuccio Roman Holiday

Press Sample

I have another cuccio "Paradiso" Spring/Summer 2023 polish today! This is Roman Holiday, a pure violet creme.

cuccio Monza Monza

Press Sample
I'm finally reviewing my final cuccio collection that I had received from the company. The "Paradiso" Spring/Summer 2023 collection was a throwback to cuccio's Italian roots. So I've noticed that cuccio has definitely been more into their gels and nail care but in looking at their website, they did have a Spring/Summer 2026 collection called Spellbound that has both lacquer and gel. Back to today's polish - this is Monza Monza, a poppy red shimmer.

Shinespark Moondust Holo

Nothing To Disclose
Today's polish is really bittersweet (IYKYK). This is Shinespark Nail Polish Moondust Holo, a scattered holo topper. The reason this is so bittersweet is that the brand owner, Molly Watson, was murdered by her fiance who was living a double life. She and I had talked quite a bit about her fiance back when I was active on BabyCenter during my pregnancy with my second kiddo so this has just been a hard memory to go through.

Ninja Polish Mystic Glacier

Nothing To Disclose
Sometimes I forgot about the polishes I have like this unicorn from Ninja Polish called Mystic Glacier. This was from the Enigma collection and it's a soft blue base with multichromatic pigments in copper and green. I've seen this polish sell for nearly $100 on resale sites and I have been tempted.

Alchemy Lacquers Effervescent

Nothing To Disclose
I have my last polish from the latest Pookie Polish Swap and this is Alchemy Lacquers Effervescent from the Peacock Parade collection that I think was released in Summer 2022. This is a beautiful glowy blue polish with green duochrome shimmer.

Nothing To Disclose
I'm powering through my latest Pookie's Polish Swap and today is Pahlish Kismet, from the 2025 "Life of a Showgirl" collection. Kismet is a prussian blue with fine purple/pink/gold shimmer. Now, the prussian blue is so hard to photograph but it is the base especially in the first two coats.

Fair Maiden Unbreakable

Nothing To Disclose

Morgan Taylor Tex'as Me Later

Press Sample

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.
