Polished Lifting

Formula: Nice consistency

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: Warm neutral creme

Coverage: 2 coats

Price: $9

Notes: Neutral By Nature is a bit warmer of a neutral than I would normally wear, but it didn't yellow me out too much. It's nice to have a warmer shade that is ok with my skin tone.

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: Rose mauve pearl

Coverage: 2 coats

Price: $9

Notes: No Sudden Mauves was an absolute favorite from this collection. I love it in the bottle, and I absolutely adore it on my nails. I think this will be in heavy rotation this autumn for sure!

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: Black brown creme

Coverage: 2 coats

Price: $9

Notes: Off The Grid makes me want to pack up and go adventuring. While that may be a smidge dramatic, I do love this shade!

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: Sage green holographic

Coverage: 1 coat

Price: $12

Notes: You guys know that I'm obsessed with green, so Disco Days was an immediate favorite. The one coat coverage was an added bonus.

I hope you didn't think I was going to leave this with simple swatches! I was so inspired by the earthy toned holos that I wanted to do a vintage flower look. This is also a slight sneak peek of the upcoming Morgan Taylor African Safari collection launching in August 2018.

For this look I started with a base of Disco Days. Once that had time to dry I stamped over it using MoYou London Asia Collection 02 and Morgan Taylor Neutral By Nature.


While I liked the flowers alone, I felt like I wanted to add something more to this look. I started by dotting the center of each flower with Morgan Taylor No Sudden Mauves. At this point I really liked it but it still needed something else to finish off the look. I finally decided to add accent dots with Morgan Taylor No Cell? Oh Well!

The colors are kind of unusual together, but I really love how this turned out.
