ILNP Rosewood

Recently, ILNP released a 4-set of their new Studio Color polishes as their Fall Serenade Bundle. This line is made of highly pigmented solid-colored cremes - perfect for anyone starting out with some staples. This is listed as a soft pink terracotta creme.

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. 

ella + mila third time's a charm

Press Sample

I really like that I can find ella + mila at my local Target stores and see the polishes up close and personal. Today I have third time's a charm from the birthday collection. This is a dark teal that has a lot of green to it.

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.

ella + mila plead the fifth

Press Sample

Another blue for today - this is more of a robin's egg blue. Today I have ella + mila plead the fifth from the Birthday collection. This definitely leans more green than blue to me especially when I'm looking at everything blue on my desk.

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.

ella + mila fourth wish

Press Sample

Happy Friday! Today I have ella + mila fourth wish from the Birthday collection. This is a true red creme that belongs in every collection.

ella + mila in line for wine

Press Sample

Today I have ella + mila in line for wine from the Elite collection. This merlot wine red creme actually has a matte finish which makes for an interesting look.

Sally Hansen Pacific Blue

Nothing To Disclose
In today's TikTok "NPC Live" world, I find myself missing the simpler days of blogging, especially when I find my bottle of Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, a beautiful blue creme. This was THE color to wear back in the day, and when Sally Hansen reformulated the color, the world went mad. Not really, but it was a sad day for several of the OG Nail Girls and Guys who really adored this color. I even tried to buy the last of the original bottles before my local stores got the new version but now I can't find those bottles either.

ella + mila eighth wonder

Press Sample

Today I have ella + mila eighth wonder from the birthday collection, which is listed as a raspberry wine. This is another staple I feel for anyone's collection.

Digital Nails Red Wedding

Nothing To Disclose
I really miss how Digital Nails tapped into the fandoms of the day or memes of the minute. Today I have Digital Nails Red Wedding, a nod to Game of Thrones massacre from the third book "A Sword of Swords." This polish is packed with multiple sizes of red glitter in a tinted red base.

ella + mila sixth fix

Press Sample

I love dusty rose polishes. Today I have ella + mila sixth fix from the birthday collection, which is listed as a dark salmon pink. I am obsessed with this color.

ella + mila lucky seventh

Press Sample

Here's another polish from ella + mila. Listed as a nude baby pink, lucky seventh is less brown than the second serving, but still in the same soft creme line.

ella + mila second serving

Press Sample

Today I'm working through more of the ella+mila polishes that I received from them. Listed as a pinkish sandy nude, second serving is another soft creme perfect for the office.

Zoya Gigi

Press Sample

It's the finale of the Zoya Pink Palette - Summer 2022, and today I have Zoya Gigi, listed as a red azalea creme. I had to Google because I didn't realize an azalea was a flower.

Zoya Kay

Press Sample

Almost done with the Zoya Pink Palette - Summer 2022, and today I have Zoya Kay, listed as a "bright paradise pink" creme. To me - this is the flamingo pink I was thinking of.

Zoya Shannon

Press Sample

I'm on the back half of the Zoya Pink Palette - Summer 2022, and today I have Zoya Shannon, listed as a warm melon pink creme. This is definitely summer pink for me.

Zoya Maddie

Press Sample

Continuing with the Zoya Pink Palette - Summer 2022, today I have Zoya Maddie, considered a "wearable flamingo pink" creme. I've never seen a flamingo in real life but I'm rolling with it.
