Cuccio ~ Fountains of Versailles

Cuccio ~ Fountains of Versailles

Sea green shimmer with glass flecks

Cuccio is a new brand to me, even though the company has been in the beauty industry since the early 1980s. Fountains of Versailles is the type of polish I’d fall for any day. It’s sea green, it’s shimmery, there’s little glass flecks in it and the finish is almost foil-y. I find myself buying this sort of colour over and over again :D

Anyway – application was a breeze. The polish is well pigmented and if you’re in a hurry you can get away with one thick coat. I used two coats though, and the drying time was OK. I hadn’t got access to sunshine, so here’s what it looked like in daylight:

I love the look of the little flecks in there! Here’s another pic:

Sweet as!! That really shows the foil-y finish. Shiny, shimmery, beautiful!

I decided to stamp on it. I used Mash-39 for the fish/mermaid scales, and stamped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri “ Jumpin’ Jade” to stamp with. For the dolphins I used Fauxnaud plate M71 and Kiko 616 from their Mirror Collection.

The topcoat is Poshé, my all time favourite. Here’s the final mani:

And one last look:

I love the way this turned out, and I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of buying this particular shade of polish.

One last note : this polish stained my fingers green-blue so much that I thought I’d grown Smurf hands!! Just saying, so that you’re not surprised

when your fingernails refuse to give up the hues.
