Color Club Pucci-licious
What is pucci? What is pucci-licious? I have no freaking clue. I looked up the word thinking I wasn't in on some inside joke that everyone seemed to know about except for me. However, the only results I came up with were with this polish? Is this just some made up name for giggles? Pucci-licious came in the Poptastic collection I got at Ross. The colors in this collection are neons, but this purple I wouldn't necessarily call it a neon.
Pucci-licious
Pucci-licious is a bright vibrant violet creme. This leans slightly on the blue side. The reason I don't think it is a neon is this isn't a blinding shade. It's not like the others in the collection or like the China Glaze Poolsides. I think of it as a punched up lavender. I love this shade. I'd have to say it's one of my favorite purples. I have soft spot for purples. It was my favorite color as a kid. This color reminds me of one of the font color choices on the old school AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) I used to use. The application of this was alright. I did have some bald spots as you can see, I could of used a 3 coat and it would be perfect. The finish on this without top coat reminds me of the Orly Plastix finishes. It's not my cup of tea, so I put top coat over it.

ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteI believe the name is a play on the Pucci portion for the name of Italian fashion designer
Emilio Pucci. :O) Thanks for sharing
Cool! I love this color. It would make a nice oolor for a dress too.
ReplyDeleteNice one, have to get it as well sometime :)
ReplyDeleteAnd hmm, favo purple, that's hard, lol.
*looks at nail wheels, I can't choose! :P
This color is so special! :) Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love this color. It's one of my favorites. I think the name is a nod to the fashion designer Emilio Pucci as he is known for incorporating bright colors into his clothing, but don't quote me.
ReplyDeleteOther purples I adore:
China Glaze Spontaneous *all time fav
OPI Do you Lilac it?
1xellus1 nailed it, it's after Emilio Pucci, drooly-worthy colors and this beauty fits right in ~ I have it in my untrieds and have been staring at it with excitement.
ReplyDeleteFavorite purple? *looks around at the mass of purple nail polishes* I can't pick just one...
ReplyDeleteTowards the top of the list are China Glaze Grape Pop, China Glaze Let's Groove (I can't stop staring at my nails every time I wear this!), and Revlon's Tropical Chrome, from which I took my screen name...it was a limited edition, but China Glaze Harmony is a dead on dupe!
I believe Pucci is a reference to a 1960's fashion designer.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite purple is China Glaze Grape Pop!
Love this color! I agree that it's named after the designer, Pucci.
ReplyDeleteI love Color Club Wild at Heart because it's purple AND holo, hehe

ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for telling me about Pucci. I saw Pucci come up in results but I thought it was just a name for fake Gucci stuff LOL. I have ZERO fashion knowledge.
