Morgan Taylor, the nail lacquer company from Hand & Nail Harmony (creators of Gelish), offers a large range of cruelty free cremes, shimmers and glitters for all your polishing needs! Today I used 4 cremes from their core collection to create easy vintage roses on an accent nail.
To start, prep your nails by cleaning with nail polish remover. Add one coat of your favorite base coat.
On three fingers, use two thin coats of Coming Up Roses, a soft mauve creme.
On the ring finger, apply two thin coats of Supreme in Green, a mint green creme.
Using Fire Cracker, a hot red creme, wipe off all the excess polish and use the flat tip of the brush to create two small dots randomly on the nail.
Using Coming Up Roses, wipe off all the excess polish and use the flat tip of the brush to create dots on either side of your middle dots.
To finish the roses, use Later Alligator, a grass creme creme, to create two small triangle-like leaves for each rose. Don’t worry about perfection!
Use your favorite fast drying top coat to seal in all layers and finish your manicure!

Such a great collab (love Polish Galore)! This is a pretty, feminine mani! I didn’t realize that Morgan Taylor was a cruelty free polish from the Gelish creators.

Thank you!!!! Yeah I didn’t realize it either until I was going to do this article. I was pleasantly surprised!
Alexandra says
Follow-up: I followed your instructions the other day and received lots of compliments at work! (even though the roses ended up looking like multi-coloured strawberries :D)
Krystal Emery says
Aww thank you! I bet they looked lovely – and strawberries are super lovely. I have another tutorial here: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/231161393346501594/ please note these polishes are also cruelty free
