Morgan Taylor Lace 'Em Up

Press Sample

Today's blue is a very vampy and almost leans purple. This is Morgan Taylor Lace 'Em Up, and it's a highly pigmented creme.

Morgan Taylor West Coast Cool

Press Sample

So why am I in such a blue mood? Honestly, I've always loved blue just as much as I love purple but they really didn't have blue nail polish when I was a kid. I love how blue looks on nails and it helps that my alma mater's is blue so I justify all my purchases. Today I have Morgan Taylor West Coast Cool, which is a neon electric blue. 

Morgan Taylor Varsity Jacket Blues

Press Sample

Morgan Taylor didn't always have the flat paddle brush and today's color, Varsity Jacket Blues, from the Casual Cool 2014 collection, is one with the round brush. I find it so much harder for me personally to apply with a round brush but I make it work. This is a medium light blue that does not have any green tint to it.

Morgan Taylor Gaston And On And On

Press Sample

I really have enjoyed wearing Morgan Taylor polishes especially with the wide brush they have. Today I have Gaston And On And On, which is a baby blue creme from the Beauty and the Beast collection that came out in 2017.

Morgan Taylor Making Waves

Press Sample
I've been going through a blue phase with nails. First, it was a red phase, and now it's blue. Today I have Morgan Taylor Making Waves, which is a rich royal blue that dries down matte. This polish came out in 2014 as part of the Island Treasures collection, but I got it as part of a sample pack of polishes from Morgan Taylor in a beautiful acrylic box as a press package. Additionally, Gelish has a color also named Making Waves, but it has a blue shimmer to it and this is a straight creme.

Morgan Taylor Coming Up Crystal

Nothing To Disclose
My nails are almost 100% grown out since my gel removal in July. Again, don't remove hard gel unless you know what you're doing. Today I have a Morgan Taylor polish called Coming Up Crystal that I bought from my local Sally Beauty Supply. This polish was released in Winter 2021 for the release for the Sing 2 movie. Now, I hadn't seen the movies before but I loved this rainbow reflective silver glitter polish and it had to come home with me.

Morgan Taylor Going Vogue

Press Sample

The finale from the Morgan Taylor Spring 2020 "Editor's Picks" collection is Going Vogue, listed as an antique rose creme. I think I was most excited about this color when I first saw the photos but did it live up to my hype?

Morgan Taylor Barely Buff

Press Sample

Okay. So today's color is one of those "But why" but at the same time, it makes sense. Hear me out. Today from the Morgan Taylor Spring 2020 "Editor's Picks" collection is Barely Buff and this is listed as "palest pink creme." Listen... this is like what you wear to have smooth looking nails when you aren't allowed to wear nail polish that's "loud". 

Morgan Taylor Call My Blush

Press Sample

Continuing with the Morgan Taylor Spring 2020 "Editor's Picks" collection is Call My Blush, which is a soft sheer pink. Much like yesterday's On Cloud Mine, this polish has a jelly consistency.

Morgan Taylor On Cloud Mine

Press Sample

I'm finishing the rest of the Morgan Taylor Spring 2020 "Editor's Picks" collection and the next few are what I feel really are the definition of "runway". Today I have On Cloud Mine which is a sheer peachy pink. This had a jelly like consistency.

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

Press Sample

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.
