Morgan Taylor Copper Dream

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!

Sally Hansen Nail Cuticle Serum

Press Sample
It seems trivial now, but I really miss getting my nails done. I used to go every two weeks to a local salon... pedicure, then 2 weeks later for a manicure, 2 weeks later for a pedicure, etc. It was a great way to relax and I just felt better about myself. Once I got married, got a day desk job, had more kids and the salon changed around, it's been harder and harder a biweekly appointment somewhere.

This was listed as a soft pink creme and I was pretty stoked to see it in a winter collection.

Morgan Taylor Flirty and Fabulous

So like most people in the world, I'm pretty much at home right now. I don't want to dwell on the state of the world but I think we can all agree that this is unlike anything we've ever dealt with before. Right before I started working remotely, I decided to pull out my last shade from the Morgan Taylor fall 2019 collection Flirty and Fabulous, a turquoise cream.

I'm in the middle of some training for my son's Boy Scout troop and figured I might as well pull out a pretty purple. This is Morgan Taylor A Girl And Her Curls, an eggplant purple shimmer.

Morgan Taylor That's So Monroe

Press Sample
I have a box of nail polish next to my desk and lately, it's been calling to me. I haven't had a lot of time or energy for my blog like I used to but it's still a hobby that I enjoy. Today I pulled out Morgan Taylor That's So Monroe, a cool brown shimmer. This is not normally a color I gravitate to but I'm up for a challenge. This polish was from the second wave of Marilyn Monroe fall polishes in 2019.

ILNP Say Love

Nothing To Disclose
What a year it's been! I wanted to go out with some stunning Christmas type color so I grabbed ILNP Say Love, a red holo with microflakes. This is one of those that you never realize how amazing it is until it's on!

I started with Morgan Taylor ReactMAX Optical Brightener and went with 3 thin coats of polish. I could have probably only used 2 but it's been a hot minute since I've painted my nails and I'm shaky. I finished with Glisten and Glow top coat.

So my camera may be at the end of its life. I can't seem to take steady photos anymore, even when my camera is sitting stationary. I think part of it was damaged during the robbery but I just haven't wanted to make the change to a new camera yet.

However, this polish is amazing, seriously. It's got holo, it's got flakies, it's got magic.

You can purchase ILNP on their website. For more on ILNP, be sure to following their various social media platforms: Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook.
