Cuccio Nude-A-Tude

*I received the following product in exchange for my honest review. 

I have another Cuccio from their Nudetrals collection to share with you today. I absolutely have fallen in love with this winter collection. It definitely has been feeding into my nude and neutral color obsession this season. This color from the collection has turned out to be one of my favorite nude polishes ever along with Avon Nude & Infused.

Nude-A-Tude

Nude-A-Tude is a pink-toned nude creme with a subtle shimmer.

Collection: Cuccio Colour NUDETrals Winter 2015/16

Color: A pinky-toned nude! Yes! These are so hard to come by in nail polish. Nude polishes are either so pale or so yellow-toned they look horrible on me. This is perfect. I love the color and how it pairs nicely with my skin tone and the subtle shimmer livens it up.

Formula: Excellent formula! This is another thing that can be hard to find in nudes. I used 2 coats and it applied evenly and smoothly.

Price: You can find this on HB Beauty Bar for $8.

Overall: Nude-A-Tude is a beautiful nude polish. I love the color and how it pairs nicely with my skin tone. The formula was great and I have no complaints!

Cuccio Olive You

*I received the following product in exchange for my honest review. 

I found out about Cuccio's NUDEtrals back at Cosmoprof in July. I've never really been into neutral or nude polish really. This collection caught my eye back in July, but only a few colors. I can tell you now, I don't know what has changed but I am loving nudes and neutrals this winter. I've been wearing it in clothes, makeup, and nails. I really have stuck to the neutral theme since the beginning of January when I usually change up nail colors. Nope, I'm all about the neutrals!

Here's another great color from the NUDEtrals collection. 

Olive You

Olive You is a grey-toned olive green with a stunning golden and bronze shimmer. 

Collection: Cuccio NUDEtrals Winter 2015-16

Color: I'm not a big green polish fan, much less an olive green one. I have found that the right olive green can look good on me. This is one of them. I adore this color! It's a completely unique color to me, and definitely not a color I would typically reach for. I love it though. I love the muted tone and that gorgeous shimmer.

Formula: The formula on this is sheer and similar to Grey's Anatomy in that sense. I did find this formula to be thinner and much easier to use. I used 3 coats above. 

Price: This can be purchased at HB Beauty Bar online for $8. 

Overall: Gorgeous polish! I highly recommend this one. I love the color and the shimmer. This one is a stunner.

Cuccio Grey's Anatomy

*The following product was provided in exchange for my honest review. 

Yes, I still have Cosmoprof polishes to share with you. This one is from the brand Cuccio which is a brand exclusively used in salons, but you can find some online. This color is from their current winter NUDEtrals collection.

After the holidays I am over colorful and loud nail polish, at least for a little while. The first weeks of January I stick to neutrals or soft tones. The first of the year is the perfect time for palette cleansing polishes before we break out the colors of spring. My jaw dropped when I saw this color at Cosmoprof. I thought it was one of the most beautiful colors I've seen with a gorgeous finish.

Grey's Anatomy

Grey's Anatomy is a soft gray-blue packed with gold and bronze microglitter.

Collection: Cuccio NUDETrals Winter 2015

Color: Ive mentioned on this blog before how much I love cool-toned colors paired with warm metals. This is stunning combination of a dusty gray-blue with that intense fiery gold and bronze glitter. It's a color combination I wish I saw more of in nail polish because it is so beautiful. I love this muted shade with that teeny bit of glitz.

Formula: The formula on this was OK. I so wish this formula was spectacular because this would be an all star polish in my book. The base of is it a bit sheer and thick. I wish the base had a creamier consistency rather than a sheer almost gel-like one. It's not terrible, but it's not good and not what I'd expect from a salon brand. I used 3 coats.

Price: This is around $8 if you look around for it online.

Overall: I am head over heels in love with the color of Grey's Anatomy. The beautiful soft gray-blue base and that glitter makes a gorgeous polish color. The formula leaves a lot to be desired though which is very disappointing considering how much I love the color itself.

Cuccio Dancing Queen

*I received the following product in exchange for my honest review.

I have a new to me brand to share with you. I received sample from Cuccio Colour at Cosmprof. This is a brand I had heard of before, but never came across ever. I now know why. This is a salon only brand! No wonder I never saw it. I was glad to be introduced to it. I did realize while you can't buy this as professional from their own site, you can sometimes find these on etailers, Amazon, or eBay. It's not a total lost cause. I have one of the polishes from their fall collection to share with you.

Dancing Queen

Dancing Queen is a deep navy blue with blue and golden/green shimmer.

Collection: Cuccio Colour Royale Fall 2015

Color: You see that beautiful multi-dimensional shimmer in that bottle in my picture? Yeah, that barley translates on the nail. How frustrating is that! This color is a lovely rich blue shimmer. There is nothing wrong with that aspect, but I want to see what's in the bottle on my nail. I'm not getting that intense shimmer I see on my nail at all. 

Formula: The formula on this was good. It was pretty standard. I used 3 coats above.

Price: You can find this in the $8-$9 range if you search it on Google.

Overall: I wanted to love this polish, but it really disappointed me. The base color is great. The formula is good. I just really wanted all that amazing shimmer I see in the bottle. I can't get past that!
