cuccio Just A Prosecco

Press Sample

I know I was just wearing a silver but I have another silver today! Today is cuccio Just A Prosecco, a silver shimmer, but if you look close this actually a silver shimmer with a touch of gold metallic. This polish is from their Soiree Collection - Winter 2019.

cuccio Dance, Dance, Dance

Press Sample

Hello dear friends! Sorry I disappeared again. My husband and I both contracted COVID-19 (he got it while at work from a coworker) and while we weren't hospitalized, we were very sick for a couple of weeks. We are now on the mend and hoping to get back to work very soon. One of the things I wanted to do to celebrate being able to get out of bed was paint my nails! I just recently nubbinized them because they got super long and I didn't have the energy to shape them so I just chopped them off. I really have preferred no nails this past year especially when typing. This is cuccio Dance, Dance, Dance from the Soiree Collection which was their winter 2019. I have been trying to get all my cuccio's swatched so I can get them into my Helmer and out of my living room.

Morgan Taylor Vanished Before My Eyes

Press Sample

I completely forgot I had these Morgan Taylor Platinum polishes in my stash so I decided to pull Vanished Before My Eyes, which is a red/orange duochrome. This one reminds me of rose petals.

cuccio Be Current

Press Sample

I'm at the finale of the cuccio Fall 2019 Bella Natura collection with Be Current, a egglant purple creme. I think this was the polish I was most excited for because I love a good purple creme in my life.

cuccio Natural State

Press Sample

I'm getting to the end of the cuccio Fall 2019 Bella Natura collection with today's Natural State, a Tuscan brown creme. This does have orange tones to it but it reminded me more of milk chocolate than anything. I've been really enjoying milk chocolate with almonds lately so this may be a food related thing. Don't eat your nail polish though.

cuccio Branch Out

Press Sample

Who wants a rich and earthy green creme? The cuccio Fall 2019 Bella Natura collection has you covered with Branch Out. Now I know most people either love or hate greens but I gotta tell you, this one is growing on me.

cuccio Nurture Nature

Press Sample

I finally decided to organize my desk and put all my polishes I'm reviewing in order and realized I haven't finished the cuccio Fall 2019 Bella Natura collection. Today I have Nurture Nature which is a shimmering pewter. The bottle was super pretty as you can see above.

OPI Alpaca My Bags

Nothing To Disclose
It's been about 8 years since I wore OPI on my blog. No real reason - I used to love the colors, the collections, the ultra wide brush. OPI is much easier to find these days too... I can get it at my local Wal-Mart although this color I purchased from Ulta in order to qualify for free shipping. Sorry, not sorry. This is Alpaca My Bags from the Fall 2018 Peru collection. As soon as I saw it, I wanted it and I've kept it in my Saved folder on Instagram for months.

cuccio Rock Solid

Press Sample

Another red cuccio from the Fall 2019 Bella Natura collection - this time it's Rock Solid which is a brick red creme. I always tell people that I live in the brick red house with the red metal roof on the corner (no lie) so this color was right up my alley.

cuccio Gaia

Press Sample

I have a lot of red cuccio polishes on my desk so today I decided to grab Gaia from the fall 2019 Bella Natura collection. It's a pretty muted raspberry toned polish that originally I overlooked when it was on my desk but I really liked this one.

cuccio Rolling Stone

Press Sample

I swear, my cats have been a blessing and a curse. One of the reasons why I'm going through the fall 2019 Bella Natura collection from cuccio is because SOME cat of mine (honestly don't know which one) decided to leave me a food present in the box next to my desk and some of it got on the outside of my cuccio box. So that box went in the trash as I pulled the collection out safely. Thanks cats. Today is Rolling Stone which is a purple based black with silver shimmer particles. 

cuccio Rooted

Press Sample
We are on week 11 of self-isolation here and it's been interesting. I talk more about it on my Twitter than my blog so if you're interested, the links are to the right of my page. Today I'm wearing cuccio Rooted, from the Fall 2019 Bella Natura collection. When I first saw this red-orange clay creme, I wasn't sold. It reminds me of terra cotta shingles which my alma mater University is known for.

KBShimmer Jordana

Nothing To Disclose

I love rainbow holographic glitter. When KBShimmer announced her Pretty Revenge Duo, I immediately bought it. Jordana is a silver rainbow reflective holographic glitter with a hint of gold. 

cuccio Cheers To New Years

Press Sample

I have been going through my box of goodies and today I decided to grab cuccio Cheers To New Years from their Holiday 2019 Soiree Collection. This is a "sugared plum shimmer" with the shimmer being gorgeous gold flakes.

cuccio High Resolutions

Press Sample
I was feeling the need to get some red in my life so today I pulled out cuccio High Resolutions from their Holiday 2019 Soiree Collection. This is a flirty cherry red creme.

Vapid. Birthday Bitch 2020

Nothing To Disclose
Vapid is an indie company that's located only about 150 miles north of where I live. That sounds like a far distance, but that's where my extended family lives and since Vapid just opened a store front, it was only fitting that when I was up seeing family, I made a stop to see all the goodness in its glory. Now I could do an entire post on just the store and the other items Vapid has to offer but for now, let's just talk about Birthday Bitch 2020.

Morgan Taylor A Kiss In The Dark

Press Sample
Saving the best for last? Sure. The finale from the Morgan Taylor 2019 winter Champagne and Moonbeams collection is this black purple creme called A Kiss In The Dark. I stared this polish down hard.

Morgan Taylor A Starry Night

Press Sample
Only two left in the Morgan Taylor winter 2019 Champagne and Moonbeams collection and today is an indigo pearl called A Starry Night. Now, I think this would have been super beautiful with an accent nail of Sprinkle of Twinkle but I'm rearranging my nail polishes (again? yes again), I had already put that polish up in its drawer.

Morgan Taylor Shooting Star

Press Sample
Alright fam, we're getting down to the final 3 in the Morgan Taylor winter 2019 Champagne and Moonbeams collection. Now I'll be honest that I saved these three for last because typically, these aren't my favorite colors. However, I was determined to get this 12 piece swatched with my long nails, so here we go. Today is Shooting Star and while this is listed as a "chocolate pearl" (wut), I'm definitely calling it a brown metallic.

Morgan Taylor Gilded In Gold

Press Sample
So after Morgan Taylor Copper Dream, it's only fitting I check out Gilded In Gold, a gold shimmer/metallic from the winter 2019 Champagne and Moonbeams collection.
