ZOYA Luscious Fall 2020 Swatches & Reviews

Press Sample

Fall is here! FINALLY! Sure, it's definitely not fall yet here in Las Vegas, but I hear the rest of the country is getting to enjoy the loveliness of my favorite season! Apple cider, cinnamon, chai lattes, pumpkins, I freaking love it all (except PSLs from Starbucks, I just don't get the hype over those...) Today I have swatches of the fall collection from Zoya nail polish for you. Read on for more info!

KBShimmer Sun's Out Collection Swatches - Summer 2019

Press Sample

Despite the temperature of my hands never breaching a balmy -46°F, I LOVE thermal polishes. They may exist solely in the cold state when on my fingertips, but the fact that I know that there is another magical color hiding in that polish is enough for me. Imagine my delight when Christy, of KBShimmer, said she was releasing a collection of TRI-color thermals. Holy ever-loving crap, YES! Add in a little signature KBShimmer shimmer, and BAM! You've got the summer Sun's Out collection! Check out my swatches after the jump!

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab American Gods Swatches and Review

Press Sample

What comes to mind when you think of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab? For me, it's vials of potions and scents that are completely unique. I have a few of their scents, one of which was made for the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, and it has notes of old books (my fav!), leather, balsam, and raw vanilla. As soon as I read the description, I knew that I had to have it. But, I digress, we're not here to talk about fragrances today, we're here to talk about the amazing new American Gods nail polish collection that is amazing from the candy pink crelly of Easter to the chartreuse and gold glitter of Coin Trick. Come with me, and we'll travel the world of Neil Gaiman's American Gods after the jump!

Girlish Flourish

 Press Sample

Despite all the crazy colors I love to wear, I find that I'm ALWAYS drawn to great neutrals. Needless to say, when the new Morgan Taylor Enchantment Fall 2014 collection showed up, I was SUPER excited!! It consists of 4 neutral-ish and 2 glitter shades. For today's manicure, I did an uncharacteristically feminine design using two of the shades from the collection, Simply Spellbound and Magician's Assistant. I absolutely ADORE the subtle shimmer found in Magician's Assistant. It's, dare I say, MAGIC?!

At first glance, this manicure is a subtly feminine design, and, if I'm being honest, it is at second and third glance, too. However, it just has something when you see it in person that makes you keep looking back to it- that must be the 'magic' that they refer to in the polish name...and it is definitely enchanting! You can see the glowy shimmer in the picture above in the bottle (in person you see it on the nail!). I'm generally not one for soft feminine colors, but I think this is my favorite of the collection! (Swatches to come!)

For this manicure I used:

Morgan Taylor Need for Speed Top Coat
Morgan Taylor Simply Spellbound
Morgan Taylor Magician's Assistant
Morgan Taylor Stick With It Base Coat


Morgan Taylor products are available at loxabeauty.com for $8.50 per bottle.

Morgan Taylor Glam Rock Swatches & Review

Press Sample

My first introduction to Morgan Taylor was this past summer at Cosmoprof, and man, what a color selection! Today's post is a review of their Winter 2014 collection–Glam Rock. These are colors fit for a punk rock princess; silver, black, duochrome, it has a little everything for the chic girl on the go! Most of the colors are pretty pigmented, and the ones that aren't build very nicely!
