Illyrian "Morpheus"

Hey all and happy happy Friday!  Today's nail polish is Illyrian's "Morpheus" which I snagged from Polish Pick-Up earlier this year.  Illyrian is a gorgeous indie brand that I have been dying to try so I jumped at the chance!  Here's how "Morpheus" looks in the bottle:

"Morpheus" is a color changing flakie in a clear base.  (It is literally more gorgeous in real life than any of the photos!)  The formula for this nail polish is perfect and it applied with ease.  Since this polish has a clear base I couldn't resist testing it out with some colors.

The first polish I tried out with "Morpheus" was Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's "Melon."  This combo looked gorgeous and very princess-like.  Here's how it turned out:

The second nail polish I tried out with "Morpheus" was OPI's "How Great Is Your Dane?"  Surprisingly I liked this combination the best as it make the flakies turn purple!  Look how pretty:

Can you even with this flakie?!?  It is an absolute stunner and I have never had such a gorgeous polish in my collection.  Look at this flakie up close:

Overall I am thrilled with Illyrian's "Morpheus."  Absolutely everything about this nail polish is perfect and makes me happy.  I cannot wait to continue using this flakie again and again!

Easter Nail Art

Hi everyone and Happy Easter to those who celebrate.  In honor of the Easter Bunny's arrival I decided to create some Easter egg nails.  Here are the nail polishes I pulled out for this freehand design:

Disney for Target's "White", Sinful Colors "Cash Out", Zoya's "Saint", OPI's "Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet", Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's "Melon", Illimite's "Pale Fire", China Glaze's "Shine-nanigans" and Illyrian's "Morpheus."

First I used two coats of Disney for Target's "White" as the base color for my nails.  My nails then looked like this:

Next up I used some dotting tools from Amazon and a small brush from Maniology to begin creating designs.  Here are the tools:

Each nail turned out nicely but my favorite design was definitely my middle finger, with my ring finger in a close second.  They turned out so gorgeous:

Here's a breakdown of what nail polish was used on each nail:

Pointer Finger: Has a base of OPI's "Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet" with a coat of China Glaze's "Shine-nangians" on top.  The plaid is Sinful Colors "Cash Out" and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's "Melon.

Middle Finger: Zoya's "Saint" as a base with Disney for Target's "White" to create they wavy design.

Ring Finger: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's "Melon" with a coat of Illyrian's "Morpheus" for the gorgeous shimmer.  Then OPI's "Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet" for the polka dots.

Pinky Finger: Sinful Colors "Cash Out" as the base with Illimite's "Pale Fire" of the chevron pattern.

Overall I am pleased with how my Easter egg nails turned out - although my pointer finger didn't go quite to plan.  I hope everyone has a lovely holiday and enjoys the time with family and friends.
