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

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.

Morgan Taylor Don't Jump To Illusions

Press Sample

Well, Black Friday looks a little different this year for many of us, I'm sure. It's been hard for me to get into the Thanksgiving season but I'm trying. I'm about to get into some of the summer collections that I've had on my desk - never on season you know. Today I have Morgan Taylor Don't Jump To Illusions from the Platinum collection.

Morgan Taylor Can You See My Aura?

Press Sample

Happy Thanksgiving! As I mentioned before, this is my least favorite holiday but it's just because I don't eat turkey or ham or most the "traditional" dishes that you're probably about to eat. When I was a kid, my Mom did the traditional dinner ONCE... used the fine china, invited her two brothers and their families... and at the end of it, she was burned out physically and emotionally. From then on, Thanksgiving became more a day of relaxing and being thankful and less about the food. In fact, what we'd do is go to the deli the day before and get all our favorite meats, cheeses and finger foods (crackers, pickles, you know what I'm talking about) and we'd have what my mom called a "smorgasbord." However, it more resembled the charcuterie boards that I drool over on Instagram.

Today I picked Morgan Taylor Can You See My Aura? to wear. This was part of the Ullusion Platinum Collection from summer 2019. It's a white duo-chrome that shifts pink pearl. When I first saw it, I was like "Oh, that's pretty" but then it just sat on my shelf. However, the reason I pulled it now is because I'm super thankful for Morgan Taylor. They were always really nice to me at Cosmoprof North America when I'd go, and supported PolishGalore for years with press samples.

Morgan Taylor Water Field

Nothing To Disclose

I have a lot of nail polish, that's for sure, but when I see rainbow reflective glitter? I gotta have it. I ended up buying Morgan Taylor Water Field during the Amazon Prime Day and then it's just sat on my desk. I think this was part of the original launch of Morgan Taylor's core collection but I can't find much information about it online. This is a clear polish with silver microglitter and small round rainbow reflective glitter.

Morgan Taylor Vanished Before My Eyes

Press Sample

I completely forgot I had these Morgan Taylor Platinum polishes in my stash so I decided to pull Vanished Before My Eyes, which is a red/orange duochrome. This one reminds me of rose petals.


Morgan Taylor A Kiss In The Dark

Press Sample

Saving the best for last? Sure. The finale from the Morgan Taylor 2019 winter Champagne and Moonbeams collection is this black purple creme called A Kiss In The Dark. I stared this polish down hard.

Morgan Taylor A Starry Night

Press Sample

Only two left in the Morgan Taylor winter 2019 Champagne and Moonbeams collection and today is an indigo pearl called A Starry Night. Now, I think this would have been super beautiful with an accent nail of Sprinkle of Twinkle but I'm rearranging my nail polishes (again? yes again), I had already put that polish up in its drawer.

Morgan Taylor Shooting Star

Press Sample

Alright fam, we're getting down to the final 3 in the Morgan Taylor winter 2019 Champagne and Moonbeams collection. Now I'll be honest that I saved these three for last because typically, these aren't my favorite colors. However, I was determined to get this 12 piece swatched with my long nails, so here we go. Today is Shooting Star and while this is listed as a "chocolate pearl" (wut), I'm definitely calling it a brown metallic.

Morgan Taylor Gilded In Gold

Press Sample

So after Morgan Taylor Copper Dream, it's only fitting I check out Gilded In Gold, a gold shimmer/metallic from the winter 2019 Champagne and Moonbeams collection.


Morgan Taylor Copper Dream

Press Sample

There were two shimmers in the Morgan Taylor winter 2019 Champagne & Moonbeams collection and well, you know how I feel about shimmers. Technically, Morgan Taylor calls these metallics, not shimmers. The first is Copper Dream, a copper metallic.

Morgan Taylor From Dusk Til Dawn

Press Sample

Getting into the back half of the winter 2019 Morgan Taylor Champagne & Moonbeams collection and today is this beautiful dusty rose creme called From Dusk Til Dawn. This is one of my favorite types of colors for my hands no matter if I have long or short nails. 

Morgan Taylor See You In My Dreams

Press Sample

I love a good classic red. When I first saw Morgan Taylor See You In My Dreams from the winter 2019 Champagne & Moonbeams collection, I thought it was a vampy shimmer but I was happily surprised to find a more squishy vamp red! Not officially a jelly but I can't call this a creme either!

Morgan Taylor Walking On Stardust

Press Sample

I think red glitter is in my top 5 "favorite polish" types. There's just something that really makes me happy about it. When I saw Morgan Taylor Walking On Stardust in the Winter 2019 Champagne & Moonbeams collection, I had an "ooh ahh" moment. For starters, this isn't just red glitter. It's red glitter in a red base with red flake shards. Talk about dimension!

Morgan Taylor Let There Be Moonlight

Press Sample

I'm still wishing for my perfect grey creme y'all. I've been through so many greys but I'm still looking for my PERFECT one so let's see how Morgan Taylor Let There Be Moonlight from the winter 2019 Champagne & Moonbeams collection works. This was a really large collection too - with 12 polishes in a variety of colors and finishes.

Morgan Taylor Tell Her She's Stellar

Press Sample

Did you catch me on Instagram Live this week? I decided to spend a little bit of time painting my nails and showing the process for me to paint, photograph and edit my photos. It was fun! I haven't gone live in quite some time. My first choice was Morgan Taylor Tell Her She's Stellar, a nude creme. This is from the winter 2019 Champagne & Moonbeams collection.


Morgan Taylor Sprinkle Of Twinkle

Press Sample

I needed some sparkle in my life today so Morgan Taylor Sprinkle Of Twinkle from the Winter 2019 Champagne & Moonbeams collection. This is a silver glitter with lots of rainbow reflective shards in different sizes and shapes inside of a clear base.


Morgan Taylor Dancing & Romancing

Press Sample

Happy Monday y'all. I have to remind myself what day it is because things just don't make sense right now. I decided to pull from the box next to my desk until the box is empty so today I have Morgan Taylor Dancing & Romancing from the Champagne & Moonbeams Winter 2019 collection. This was listed as a soft pink creme and I was pretty stoked to see it in a winter collection.
