| I've had quite a few people comment on my nails in the past ask what I was using or wish I'd done a close-up so they could see better, etc., etc., and had a realization: Why not do a feature on nail polish? It's not book-related (Unless you're wearing the new HUNGER GAMES-inspired line from China Glaze, but I'm not even going into how wrong that is...), but it's fun. Plus, if I do this feature, I'll be more likely to re-paint my nails this week and less likely to let them chip their way to the bare bones (which would mean that I could see my nails...and if I see them, I want to bite them!). |
Welcome back to another edition of Mad About Nails!
Fairy tales, fairy tales!
You all know how much I love them!
Fairy tales, fairy tales!

Last month, I went to see Disney's new live-action movie Cinderella the weekend it came out!
To celebrate, I wore "Best Ball Gown Ever" with a top coat of "If The Slipper Fits" when I went to the movies with friends.
I know I'm not the only fairy tale fan out there who loves nail polish, so here's an in-depth look at all six colors in Morgan Taylor's line-up!
A week or two ago, I was in J.C. Penney (For the first time in AGES because they'd randomly sent us $10 off!) and stuck my head in the salon on my way out. Imagine my shock when they had ALL SIX Cinderella nail polishes. This is a HUGE DEAL because I have not ever seen Morgan Taylor in a store EVER. I bought my polishes from Loxa Beauty's online website after seeing them featured on All Lacqured Up's blog. It was my first time buying Morgan Taylor because I like to see what I'm buying before I invest the money, but I blind-bought all of these. (You can also buy them on Morgan Taylor's website, or look at some awesome Cinderella-inspired nail art there!)
(J.C. Penney also had a clearance Holiday Morgan Taylor duo that I bought and a Holiday Essie collection that came with two polishes and the Grow Stronger base I've been using for a few months now to get my nails in better shape. It came to about $14 for BOTH sets. I was in heaven!! ...I should go back and buy more Essie sets because Grow Stronger costs more than that BY ITSELF!)

ANYWAY, here is a video looking at this beautiful new collection!
THE BREAKDOWN:
I started off with a basecoat of Essie "Millionails" and a coat of Essie "Grow Stronger." My nails are breaking and splitting right now, so I'm trying to strengthen them again! I picked up "Millionails" at Target to try, and saw on the back of the box that it said to pair this with "Grow Stronger." So that's what I'm doing!
I used two coats of Morgan Taylor "Best Ball Gown Ever" from the 2015 Cinderella Collection, which I purchased from Loxa Beauty. THEN I added one layer of the beautiful glitter polish "If The Slipper Fits. In person, the colors, when combined, looked so much like Cinderella's sparkly dress. I got a ton of compliments on my nails all week!
Here's a post where I talk about how amazing the top coat is!
