Morgan Taylor Lacquer, They are so awesome!!

Hello everyone! Polish Post!!!

:D


I haven't done one of these in a bit but the Morgan Taylor Polishes were just so great! I was sent three out of the core line of so so so many! They have awesome application, both Wonder Woman and Dress Up were actually opaque in one coat but I did two out of habit. I'm getting a bit ahead of myself here. First, about the company (from the company); 


EXPERIENCE THE MORGAN TAYLOR BRAND

Morgan Taylor™, the NEW standard in Professional Nail Lacquer, the crème de la crème of nail color, developed by professionals for you.
Danny Haile and David Daniel's history began in the nail industry, rooted early on as nail technicians. Over the course of 30 years, Haile and Daniel have innovated the professional nail market. Now, they have once again transformed the nail industry with lacquer that is specially formulated for you…the nail professional. You can see this at work in Morgan Taylor's select ingredients and innovative bottle — each thoughtfully developed for optimum style and performance.
Morgan Taylor's unique spectrum was designed to remove all barriers to color expression. Our creative palette knows no bounds, ranging from the classical to avant-garde, and from subtle to unconditionally spectacular.
We invite you to experience the Morgan Taylor brand. Embrace the colors. Become a part of our world.

I love how they are all about us, the nail polish lovers (they say Professional, but we all know what they really mean ;)  The color range they offer is simply awe inspiring considering they are a pretty new brand compared to the older tried and trues. They seem to have at least 99 colors just in their core collection. WOW! I love that they have not just reds, pinks, nudes and silver/gold. But also glitters, blues, purples and greens. I LOVE IT! 

What is even more amazing is the speed at which they dry. I am a busy person, and I do not often get time to do a full manicure and let it dry as it pleases. But with Morgan Taylor Lacquer, the consistency is a bit thick, but it dries super fast! It is in between a brush on Gel Polish and a normal nail polish. It is super shiny even without top coat. I put on a coat of Out The Door in the photos because I teach swim lessons early in the morning, before the break of day, so I couldn't risk chipping because of the water. My cuticles are sad looking, yes. And the photos of New York State of Mind show some wear from the water. But other than that they held up pretty well considering I spend three plus hours a day in the water for the past two weeks. 

Without further ado, here are the photos! 


Wonder Woman First, A blue base red with a gorgeous glossy shine and shimmer. Spot on for the red I think of when I bring to mind the Iconic Super Heroine

New York State of Mind. Funny thing is, my aunt who is a definite New Yorker saw this polish with no knowledge of the name and said Oooohhh give me. What do ya know? :P 
It is a super pretty multi colored glitter set (blue, pink, red, silver micro glitters, gold) in a deep blurpley jelly base. Definitely textured without a good topcoat. I think I am wearing about three coats here plus two of topcoat. A "hungry glitter" if not treated as a textured polish.

Dress Up. Might actually be my favorite. Easiest application out of the three, super fast drying, super flattering color. The pretty lilac color is one of my favorites in nail polish, I already have three similar but this one takes the cake. It was completely opaque in one coat. A bit more intense at two. I should have done some cleanup but I was test driving a new gadget to make lazy polishers happy :)

Review: Darcy's Botanicals

They have the most amazing bogy oils ever!!!
Everything I tried smelled absolutely amazing. ( I received two body oils and a hair masque from the company to write my review on) 

My skin and hair was left crazy soft and smelling fresh. 


The body oils are amazing. I choose Apricot and Cacao bean scented ones. The main difference between the two was packaging. The Apricot one came in a spray pump bottle. It made usage a breeze. No worries about the top leaking, it would be under a cap, and no worries about oil residue getting all over my bag when I throw it in carelessly (because I tend to do silly things like that when I am at the beach or on the go). The shape is more convenient simply due to the fact that I can get more *flat* items into a bag in comparison to *round* items. 
They leave my skin super soft, hair shiny and nails happy (desperate times call for desperate measures). I love that they are super multi-use and would suggest them to anyone who tends to get dry midday or would like an easy scent boost at the same time. They impart a sexy sheen and leave a wonderful scent that not only lasts all day but isn't too *In your face* and doesn't usually knock people out. Unless of course we are talking about the good way :D
I love both scents! Apricot (of which I do not relish eating it's namesake fruit) smells just like a freshly bitten ...well Apricot. It is super realistic and I feel that this is partially because of the base oil is Apricot Kernel. 
Cacao smells wonderful as well, I love chocolate and this smells exactly like a chocolate bar (kind of). It has a CACAO BEAN in the BOTTLE!!! Soo cool!!! I did not expect that what so ever. I love the true-ness of scent in both of these oils.


The deep hair masque smells just as wonderful. The instructions say you should leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes and then rinse it out. Welllllll... I forgot it was in my hair, I was reading a great book, so I ended up keeping it in for about an hour. It was easy to rinse out and left my hair CRAZY soft. I used about a tablespoon? and I think I will be using it forever! I will be repurchasing when I run out because for the price I have yet to find a deep conditioning masque that leaves my hair quite so soft. I do love one of the ones yet to be reviewed (It is coming soon.. promise!) and will probably be repurchasing it as well.
I love all three of the products I received and would recommend them to anyone with any hair type. Amazing products hands down. 



A short description from their site:

Who's Darcy?

Darcy's Botanicals is a family-owned company that is named after my precious little pea (Darcy). My hobby turned passion was born out of my desire to live a more natural lifestyle and the need to learn how to take care of our natural coils (properly) without the use of chemicals. I was also motivated by my sister's beautiful coils to create products that would help to nourish and enhance natural (curly) hair.


I spent most of my time mixing up butters and creams known to nourish, protect, soften and moisturize curls. I also spent lots of time researching natural ingredients and finding regimens that would work with and not against our coils.


All of our curly hair & skin care treats are created & handcrafted by me (Lysandra Taylor) right here in the USA. I have been mixing, creating, and studying natural & organic ingredients for over (8) years now. I absolutely love, love, love what I do:) I hope that by providing natural, organic, and naturally derived products for naturals, curlies, loc wearers and multi-ethnic curls that work, it will make it much easier for us to choose to love and embrace our natural hair.


We hope you will love our creations as much as we enjoy creating them for you.


Lysandra & Darcy
