Hi All! Happy Sunday! I hope your weekend is going well!
I’m here with a beautiful nail polish review. I was sent these Morgan Taylor polishes for my honest review.
Morgan Taylor’s spring collection is so stunning! It is the Editor’s Picks collection.
Spring is such a great time to wear softer shades like nudes and pinks. This is a very feminine collection that I LOVE!
The shades from left to right are:
Barely Buff — Palest pink creme
I Speak Chic — Taupe nude creme
Call My Blush — Soft sheer creme
On Cloud Mine — Sheer peachy pink
It’s Your Mauve — Mauve creme
Going Voque — Antique rose creme
What is so exciting for me about this collection is that I will wear every shade in this collection. I also love the formula of these cremes. The are opaque and cover well in 2 or 3 coats. They do chip after a few days, but most nail polishes do. They stay fresh looking for most of the week.
These retail for $9.50 a bottle and the mini 4-pack is $14.95, which is nice if you want to try more than one shade. It includes On Cloud Mine, Going Vogue. I Speak Chic and It’s Your Mauve. The collection is available for a limited time now at Sally Beauty.

I was sent some beautiful nail polishes from Lauren B. and Morgan Taylor for my honest review.

The first polishes are from Lauren B. and are great choices for Valentines Day or any Date Night:

Lauren B. Beauty in “33 Carats”– ($19 USD) Sounds like a rock that Elizabeth Taylor might wear, and that’s what inspired this polish. Packed with ultra-fine flecks of silver glitter (in a range of sizes), it’s diamond-powder sparkly and festive without being gaudy.
Lauren B. Beauty in “Laurel Canyon Lover” —($18 USD) A perfect balance between true red and burgundy, this shade looks sexy, festive and modern all at once. The deeply pigmented formula levels out perfectly, leaving nails smooth and jewel-like.
Lauren B. Beauty in “LOVE.”–($18 USD) A cool, sheer petal pink, this loving shade gives you the look of immaculately manicured nails with an extra burst of glossiness.
Lauren B. Beauty in “Rose Bowl”–($18 USD) Less traditional than red but just as rich. This vibrant, purple-tinged pink has a hint of delicate silver shimmer, lending it cool, unexpected depth.
