Color Club Pucci-licious

Hello lovelies! Another day, another post. I'm really trying to post every day this week since I'm on vacation. I guess we'll see how that goes. Today is Wednesday but since I don't have any pinks to post, I decided to at least show some purple. This is a very fun color and it really puts me in the mood for spring.

I've been looking for a good medium purple creme for a while now. It seems that the choice in purples is not very wide. There are a ton of shades like China Glaze Grape Pop and lots of lilacs but nothing in the middle. So I was very happy to find this one a few weeks ago and I immediately ordered it. I'm having a bit of a crisis with my pictures lately. I usually try to get as little glare as possible but I've gotten some comments that my polish looks matte where it was actually shiny. So now I don't like any of my light box pictures and all the ones you see in this post are in direct light. They have a lot of glare but at least they reflect the real shine of the polish.

The formula of this polish was quite nice and it was opaque in 2 thin coats. It dries to a rubber finish so the formula tends to be one of a matte, which means it has a slight tendency to drag since it dries very fast. I had a few random bubbles on the nail, but I'm not sure if it was the polish or the base coat under it. All my pictures are with top coat because I like my cremes extra shiny.

I ended up doing some nail art on top of this but I won't show you my right hand because that is the subject of a different post. On my left hand I did some polka dots using China Glaze Aquadelic and some dotting tools of different sizes. The accent nail has Aquadelic as a base and Pucci-licious as the dotting color. My left hand is very bad at posing, so I hope you'll forgive my awkward photos. 


These are definitely very fun to wear! I would probably never wear them at school but they are great for a day off. What do you think about this purple? Do you prefer photos with less glare or those that looks extra shiny? Please comment below. I really need your input!

  6. So sorry you couldn't comment before. I missed your comments! Not sure what the deal is with Disqus. There are some issues but I still like it better than the Blogger comment system which is horrible.
    You need this purple! It's so beautiful and cheerful!

  7. Nu, la mine nici nu se uita la valoare cand vad ca-s cosmetice. Nu stiu ce era trecut pe plic la valoare ca de multe ori si ei trec valori mai mici. Dar oricum am avut colete mari si nu am platit niciodata TVA. Acuma nu stiu cum e in alte orase ca am mai auzit ca unele fete au avut probleme cu vama.
