Morgan Taylor Best Dressed

Press Sample

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.

Zoya Leeloo

Press Sample

I'm on my last two Zoya Beachy Brights 3 collection and this is Leeloo, a orchid pink suffused with holographic glitter. This is such a beautiful glitter bomb!

Morgan Taylor Plum Tuckered Out

I'm back in the Morgan Taylor Urban Cowgirl collection and today I have Plum Tuckered Out. This is a red-based dark purple creme.

Morgan Taylor Nautically Inclined

Press Sample
I have another random Morgan Taylor polish today. This is Nautically Inclined, a periwinkle blue creme. My bottle has some pigment stuck to the sides but it doesn't affect the polish.

Zoya Coralie

Press Sample

I have another polish from the Zoya Beachy Brights 3 collection and I'm almost through them all! Today I have Zoya Coralie, an electric watermelon pink creme. This was a super neon color!

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
I have another new to me brand today - this is Cat Tail Nails with the polish Grow In The Dark, a blue teal glow in the dark polish with teal, white, and purple glitter. This was from the Polish Pickup in January 2023.

China Glaze Electric Lilac

Nothing To Disclose
I was trying to clean out another Helmer and somehow grabbed a bunch of China Glaze polishes - some I had already featured here on my blog. However, I hadn't worn Electric Lilac yet. This is a light purple jelly base with mylar flakies throughout it. This was part of the Specialty Colors collection that came out in 2009.

mooncat Magic Mushroom

Nothing To Disclose

I have another Mooncat polish tonight called Magic Mushroom - this was from the 2023 Kaleidoscope Haze collection. This was a jelly collection that was filled with iridescent flakes. Now this polish is a bright yellow-toned citrus orange base with pink and yellow iridescent flakes.

Sweet Heart Polish Helios

Nothing To Disclose
I still have just a few polishes from my 17th Pookie's Polish Swap and one of them is Sweet Heart Polish Helios. This was from the January 2023 Polish Pick Up and it's a red-orange and golden shimmer inspired by the God and personification of the Sun.

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

Nothing To Disclose
I decided to reuse yesterday's manicure to show off this ORLY x Lisa Frank polish that I got from my last Pookie's Polish Swap. This is Hits the Spot, and is a multicolored small glitter polish in a clear base. There's also mini yellow stars and tiny holographic glitter.

China Glaze Millennium

Nothing To Disclose

Back in 2009, when I started my blog, I purchased the entire fall/winter collection from China Glaze called Khrome. Today I'm sharing Millennium, a steely silver. This applies like liquid metal seriously.

China Glaze Seas and Greetings

 Press Sample

Somehow I pulled another China Glaze purple today. This is Seas and Greetings from the Christmas 2016 collection by the same name. This is a shimmering deep purple with a pink shimmer.

love, Angeline The Clock Strikes Midnight

Nothing To Disclose

I totally forgot I had this love, Angeline polish called The Clock Strikes Midnight which is a gorgeous grey/black holographic that is red based with a bit of pink shimmer to it. I don't even recall how I got it but I'm sure glad I did because it's beautiful.

China Glaze You're A Mean One

Nothing To Disclose
Who doesn't love a good deep wine purple shimmer polish? Today I have China Glaze You're a Mean One from the Christmas 2018 "The Grinch" collection. This was a collaboration with the movie that came out that year. This is a gorgeous deep purple with wine/magenta shimmer.
