Morgan Taylor Plumette With Excitement

Press Sample
Hello dear friends! It's been a hot minute since I blogged last. I gave birth last month to our 3rd boy and that's been fun, and then this past week I had my gallbladder removed as well. Nothing like some surgeries to make your summer! So last month, my mother in law was in town and she asked if I could do her nails. She wanted a certain color by another company (which oddly, I don't own) but she mentioned she liked pearly colors, soft pink, etc. I pulled out 4 of my Morgan Taylors and she chose Polished Up which I blogged about back in 2014. One of the colors that she didn't choose was Plumette With Excitement from the Spring 2017 Beauty & The Beast collection. I was actually a huge fan of this collection but didn't realize I hadn't worn all the colors yet, so this was a great time to dust off the blog.

ILNP Ocean Ave

Nothing To Disclose
If you've been watching my Facebook, you know that I've finally gotten all my polishes into Helmers, purged nearly half of what I owned, and I'm working on swatch sticks and wanting to get back into blogging. The other big news in my life is that I'm welcoming Boy #3 next Monday (woo!) and while I'm excited, it is starting all over with a new baby which can be stressful and what not. I had painted my nails this past weekend for the first time in months and remembered how much I love painting so this time, I picked ILNP Ocean Ave from the summer 2019 "The Boardwalk" collection. This is a cerulean blue with copper microflakes and a bit of holo microflakes for added touch.

LVX Millennial

LVX is probably the most luxury brand that I own. While it's considered boutique by most bloggers, I know that the owner, Branka, carefully designs each collection based on Fashion Week and has worked very hard on choosing the right ingredients, pigments... all the way down to the specialized font for her packaging. Today I have Millennial from the Autumn/Winter 2017 collection, which is a soft neutral baby pink creme.

Now that I have Helmers to fill, I'm very excited to get all my polishes in one spot and not in three different rooms. Today I grabbed Patricia Serenity, a light lavender shimmer.

Sally Hansen Midnight Drive

When my nails are long, I don't care for dark colors. However, I just went for a huge nail chop after an incident with a razor so I figured now is the time to get my vampy colors out of the way. Today I have Sally Hansen Midnight Drive, a dark inky blue polish with a slight shimmer.
