Morgan Taylor Editor’s Picks Spring 2020 Collection

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.

Perfect Polish For Your Valentine’s Day Manicure From Lauren B. and Morgan Taylor!

Hi all! I hope you are doing well this Saturday and it’s not too cold where you are!

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

I love polishing my nails holiday and season appropriate shades. The ones below are so fresh and pretty for Valentine’s Day, or any time!

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

Lauren B. Beauty 33 Carats

Lauren B. Beauty Laurel Canyon Lover

Lauren B. Beauty LOVE

Lauren B. Beauty Rose Bowl

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.

Young, Wild and Free-sia

Follow the Petals

Color goes full bloom with Morgan Taylor’s Spring collection The Color Of Petals Professional Nail Lacquer Collection! Inspired by the soft and subtle colors of your favorite flowers.

Borghese Rapido Fast Dry Nail Lacquer collection!

The Borghese Rapido Fast Dry Nail Lacquer ($8.00 USD) collection is a quick-drying formula that is available in long-lasting colors. Borghese invites you to discover the new Rapido Fast Dry Lacquer collection in bold brights and chic Italian neutrals. Evoking all the vivid colors of a garden in bloom, and the sophisticated hues of city style, Borghese’s new nail lacquers complement every wardrobe.

These long-wearing, nail-strengthening lacquers contain Borghese’s exclusive Aqua di Vita complex to help restore moisture and balance, while Micronized Gemstones add strength and brilliance. Each shade comes with a special Duale Curve Tip Brush custom designed to hug the shape of your nail for smooth, flawless application that lasts up to seven days. The rich, saturated hues are free of DBP’s, Toluene and added Formaldehyde.

The Borghese Rapido Fast Dry Lacquer Collection includes 12 shades ranging from mocha to violet to silver.

What I think: Like the claim, these polishes dry very fast, even the second or third coat. And you will need more than one coat since it applies thin. But after a few coats, the shade is very true and pretty. It chips after a couple of days, but I just apply another coat or two to get me through the week! Well worth the $8.

You can purchase at drugstores nationwide or www.ulta.com. Enjoy!
