cuccio Bite Your Lip

Press Sample

I started swatching the cuccio's 2019 Coquette Collection back in October and then life got in the way, as it does. Today I'm back with Bite Your Lip, a lukewarm nude creme. This gave me serious manniquin hands!

Sally Hansen Rose Flush

Press Sample
I have three different Sally Hansen types to start sharing with you. This line is the Insta-Dri matte which says to wear just 1 stroke, 1 coat and it dries in 60 seconds. The brush is very long so you need to watch for drips but I'm putting it to the test! The polishes claim to dry down to a matte metallic finish. This is Rose Flush and is a soft rose with golden shimmer.

cuccio Left Wanting More

Press Sample
Today I have another delicate creme from cuccio's 2019 Coquette Collection. This is Left Wanting More which is listed an an "au natural beige." It was not quite putty color but I was really jiving with it.

KBShimmer That's Nude To Me

Nothing To Disclose
When I originally bought That's Nude To Me by KBShimmer, I was in a real neutral phase. This polish came out in Summer 2016 but the collection itself was a huge mash of foils, cremes, shimmers and crellies. I just felt this fit me best at the time.

Sally Hansen Give me a Tint

Press Sample

I decided to try the other sheer Sally Hansen Color Therapy color I have here. Today I have Give me a Tint, which is a light purple sheer. 

Sally Hansen Bare Kiss

Press Sample

Not everyone likes colorful nails so when Sally Hansen came out with their Sheer line from Color Therapy, I knew they were looking at a very certain audience. Today I have Bare Kiss, which is a pink beige sheer. 

China Glaze Prairie Tale Ending

Press Sample

I LOVE all the puns that China Glaze serves up. Today I have Prairie Tale Ending from the Gone West Fall 2019 China Glaze collection. This is a putty nude creme that is a good palette cleanser from the inky blue I just had on.

Morgan Taylor Barely Buff

Press Sample

Okay. So today's color is one of those "But why" but at the same time, it makes sense. Hear me out. Today from the Morgan Taylor Spring 2020 "Editor's Picks" collection is Barely Buff and this is listed as "palest pink creme." Listen... this is like what you wear to have smooth looking nails when you aren't allowed to wear nail polish that's "loud". 

Morgan Taylor I Speak Chic

Press Sample

Even though I'd like to forget 2020 forever, I realized that I never got around to sharing the Morgan Taylor Spring 2020 "Editor's Picks" collection. This was a soft feminine collection of nudes and pinks that was supposed to mimic the runways.  Sadly for me, this was also the last Morgan Taylor collection I received from the brand because they moved their press relations in-house and I lost my contact with them. The first color I'm sharing is I Speak Chic, which is a taupe nude creme.

cuccio Fur-ocious

Press Sample

Yesterday was a neutral brown creme but today from the cuccio Spring 2021 Kittens and Canines collection, I have Fur-ocious, a deep nude creme. This is literally like a drop darker than Fug-get About It.

cuccio Pug-Get About It

Press Sample

The cuccio Spring 2021 Kittens and Canines collection is coming to a close and today I have a neutral fawn creme (light brown) called Pug-Get About It. I'm seriously living for these puns.

cuccio Not Right Meow

Press Sample
I'm on the back half of the cuccio Spring 2021 Kittens and Canines collection and these are all more nudes/browns/and one surprise olive color at the end. While I'm definitely wishing for spring, I know that most of the country is in freezing temps today. To kick it off, I'm wearing Not Right Meow, a putty tone neutral creme.

cuccio I Wish

Press Sample

Ready for the final colors from the cuccio Spring 2020 "Imagine" collection? Today I have I Wish which is listed as a honey nude creme.

cuccio I Endure

Press Sample
So I've been loving the cuccio Spring 2020 Imagine collection and then today I have I Endure. This is listed as a bronzed nude creme but it reminds me of a orange-sand. I wasn't really sure how I felt about this color in the bottle.

ella + mila desert suede

Press Sample
My last ella + mila polish here is desert suede. When I first saw this photo, I was very surprised by it. Most of the photos I see online show it as a pink dusty nude but it's actually a warm brown with pink undertones. I thought it was going to be more brown on my skin but it actually wore really nicely.

Morgan Taylor Tell Her She's Stellar

Press Sample
Did you catch me on Instagram Live this week? I decided to spend a little bit of time painting my nails and showing the process for me to paint, photograph and edit my photos. It was fun! I haven't gone live in quite some time. My first choice was Morgan Taylor Tell Her She's Stellar, a nude creme. This is from the winter 2019 Champagne & Moonbeams collection.

Morgan Taylor Dancing & Romancing

Press Sample
Happy Monday y'all. I have to remind myself what day it is because things just don't make sense right now. I decided to pull from the box next to my desk until the box is empty so today I have Morgan Taylor Dancing & Romancing from the Champagne & Moonbeams Winter 2019 collection. This was listed as a soft pink creme and I was pretty stoked to see it in a winter collection.

Morgan Taylor All American Beauty

Press Sample

I am bright colors type of girl but every once in awhile, I like a soft nude color. That's definitely the description of Morgan Taylor All American Beauty from the Marilyn Monroe fall 2019 collection.

Sally Hansen Champagne Supernova

Press Sample

I'm pretty determined to get through all the polish on my desk and I realized I have a lot of the Insta-Dri collection! Today's nude creme is called Champagne Supernova.

Sally Hansen Ruff and Tumble

Press Sample

I know that nude polishes are all the rage so it made sense that Sally Hansen came out with a nude creme for the masses. Today's polish is called Ruff and Tumble.
