Editor’s Pick: Best Silver Nail Polish! Morgan Taylor in Chain Reaction

Editor's Pick Best Silver Nail Polish! Morgan Taylor in Chain Reaction

For a little over a year I hunted in the wild aka the beauty supply store and searched for the perfect metallic nail lacquer. I had seen a chrome steel look on Tumblr and I just had to recreate it, only problem is most silvery nail polishes fall way short of the dream. I’ve bought products in the past only to begin painting with a color that was either too thin in formula thus needing excessive layering or once applied noticing it is nothing more than a clear polish with specks of glitter.

Therefore, was I now doomed to walk the earth without ever locating a nail product worthy of giving me a strong metallic design? I almost thought that until I came across a tint from the Morgan Taylor collection. I took one look at Chain Reaction and my eyes popped out like I was a Disney Goofy character. I did my best to control my excitement just so I could give Morgan Taylor’s shade a closer examination. Of course, before purchasing I reviewed the swatches and by the look of things the polish seemed as though it would dry with a nice subtle yet luminous finish.

So then, I thought why not, I’ve given so many other products a shot. Boy was I shocked over not just the finished look but the small amount of formula needed to achieve it. Two thin coats per nail was all that was necessary and as with most glittery nail polishes Chain Reaction dried quickly! Here is a video of a few more reasons why Morgan Taylor Chain Reaction is a winner.

Why exactly is it important to know and understand the undertone of your skin? Being aware of what category you fall under will help you not only beauty wise, but also when choosing various fashions.

This is because you will know what colors are appropriate for your skin type enabling you to truly look your best. Imagine your skin looking more radiant and your eyes more dazzling and all because it is like everything you are wearing was specifically as well as specially made for you.

If seeing is believing or you just happen to be more of a visual person in general there is a simple test that you can perform in order to discover your skin’s undertone.

Next, do the same with your silver jewelry remaining observant of how your skin looks.

Once both the gold and silver has been worn ask yourself the following questions and be as honest as possible: Which color of jewelry complimented my skin the most? Did I look better wearing gold or silver? If you answered gold then you possess a warm undertone, but if silver made you resemble a beauty queen then you a cool lady.

Now what happens if you looked great in silver and gold? Although very rare, this indicates that you have a neutral undertone which means the sky is kind of the limit. You have a much larger range of tints and shades that will look amazing on you. If you are not quite sure what undertone you are after performing the jewelry test you might benefit from the paper test. Lastly, at the outset of this post we mentioned that knowing your undertone will help you know which colors look best on you.
