Gelish and Morgan Taylor Matadora Collection Swatches and Review Part 2

I'm back with the second half of my joint review of the Gelish and Morgan Taylor Matadora Collection compliments of Preen.me. The two brands will release collections in companion gel polish and regular nail polish shades. This provides options for whichever formula and wear the customer prefers but it is worth noting that the effects can be somewhat different depending on which product you chose. I used the Gelish colors with a peel-off base coat and Gelish Top It Off Top Coat and the Morgan Taylor colors with Morgan Taylor Stick with It Base Coat and Need for Speed Top Coat (both fantastic!) If you missed it, Part 1 is here. Let's have a look!

Born Pretty Store Holographic UV Gel #1 Swatches and Review

I haven't covered it a whole lot so far on the blog, but I am a huge fan of gel polishes! Generally I get only a day or two out of regular nail polish, so gel is great for me when I am traveling. I will also sometimes wear it with a peel-off base coat for quick changing. Today I will share with you one of Born Pretty Store's new Holographic UV Gel Polishes.

GelMoment One Step Gel System and LED Lamp Review, Demonstration, and Swatches

Today I am excited to bring you the first gel polish review on my blog! I love gel for the shine and longevity, as well as the plump, luscious look that you rarely get with regular nail polish. The system we are going to be looking at today is GelMoment. It is sold through independent distributors - my kit was from Sheila Molles of Napa Gel. I also made an accompanying video to demonstrate prep, application, and removal as well as some tips. Let's get started!
