Cuccio Pomegranate Nail Strengthener, Prince I've Been Gone, 7 Second Reactive Top Coat

Mogli ste videti na mom Instagramu (@cajkinekandze) i u mesečnom pregledu da sam pre par nedelja što dobila što kupila dosta Cuccio proizvoda za nokte. Iako je Cuccio pre svega brend za profesionalnu upotrebu, na Sajmu će svako moći da kupi ove (i sve druge) proizvode na štandu Silver Line doo. Redovna cena baze i lakova je 550 dinara, a 7 Second Reactive Top Coat je 900 dinara, ali na Sajmu možemo očekivati promotivne cene i specijalne ponude.

You could see on my Instagramu (@cajkinekandze) and monthly overview that I have gotten and bought quite a few Cuccio nail products. Even though Cuccio is brand for professional use, all these goodies will be available to everyone at the upcoming Cosmetics Expo.

Cuccio Pomegranate Nail Strengthener je verzija njihovog učvršćivača za nokte iz Nail Solutions linije, a od njega se razlikuje samo po tome što sadrži ekstrakt nara. Ovo nije formalinski učvršćivač i neće dati onu krtu čvrstinu, a nije ni proteinski tretman. Pošto sadrži kalcijum pantontenat, vitamin E i razna ulja on zapravo hidrira nokat i daje elastičnost i na taj način nokat čini jačim i izdržljivijim. Kako ga imam prekratko da bih i sama videla rezultate, ne mogu govoriti o njegovoj učinkovitosti po pitanju ojačavanja noktiju. Mogu samo reći da je kao baza prilično dobar. Iako je u bočici narandžast, na noktu izgleda bezbojno. Brzo se suši i uspešno štiti nokat od bojenja.

Cuccio Pomegranate Nail Strengthener is a version of their Nail Strengthener from Nail Solutions line, and differs from it in that it contains, you've guessed it, pomegranate extract. This is neither formalin-based fortifier, which means that it won't make your nails brittle, neither it is protein treatment. It contains calcium pantothenate, vitamin E and various oils and it nourishes nail, making it stronger and more resilient by improving its elasticity. Since I have it for too short a time to see results for myself, I can't attest to its efficiency as a nail strengthener. I can only say that it is very good as a base coat. Even though it looks orange in a bottle, it dries clear. Drying time is fast and it protects nails from stains.

Prince I've Been Gone (6169) je taman petrolej-zeleni lak iz Royale kolekcije. Veoma je pigmentisan i plašila sam se da će mi ofarbati nokte, ali učvršćiač/baza sa narom je sprečila da se to desi. Za punu pokrivenost su potrebna dva tanja sloja. Lak se lepo nanosi i suši prilično brzo. Sjaj mu je visok.

Prince I've Been Gone (6169) is a dark teal creme polish from Royale collection. It is highly pigmented and I was scared that it might dye my nails, but pomegranate base/strengthener prevented staining. It takes two thinner coats for full colour and even coverage. It goes on smoothly and dries fast, to a very glossy finish.

Miss Sporty Raindrop - OPI Amazon...Amazoff - Cuccio Prince I've Been Gone - Morgan Taylor Totally A-Tealing - Sephora Be a Millionaire

U poređenju sa drugim petrolej lakovima koje imam, najsličniji mu je Morgan Taylor Totally A-Tealing, ali Prince I've Been Gone je plavlji. Miss Sporty Raindrop i OPI Amazon...Amazoff su presvetli, a Sephora Be a Millionaire pretaman.

Compared to other teal polishe I have, it is closest to Morgan Taylor Totally A-Tealing, but Prince I've Been Gone is more blue-toned. Miss Sporty Raindrop and OPI Amazon...Amazoff are too light, and Sephora Be a Millionaire is too dark.

Meni najzanimljiviji proizvod i najnoviji proizvod u Cuccio Nail Solutions liniji je 7 Second Reactive Top Coat. Ovo je hibridni nadlak koji se može koristiti sa Cuccio ili drugim lakovima, dakle nije deo nekog hibridnog sistema. Sadrži monomere i fotoinicijatore koji omogućavaju brzo sušenje i produženu trajnost laka, kao i visok sjaj. Sam se na dodir suši za manje od 10 sekundi, ali da bi osušio i slojeve ispod treba mu nekoliko minuta (posle oko pet minuta nisam mogla noktom da ostavim trag u laku). Sjaj koji daje je visok, ali pošto Prince I've Been Gone sam po sebi ima visok sjaj, na njemu se taj efekat nije primećivao. Poput nekih drugih hibridnih nadlakova i ovom na četkici ostaje malo boje od laka te nju treba očistiti pre svakog vraćanja u bočicu. Zbog ovoga nije idealan izbor za nail art. Ima prilično jak miris, koji me podseća na etarska ulja i taj miris se neko vreme zadržava na noktima.

The newest product in Cuccio Nail Solutions line is the one I find the most interesting - 7 Second Reactive Top Coat. This is a hybrid top coat that can be used over Cuccio or any other polish, it is not part of a system. It contains monomers and photoinitiators which improve drying time and durability, as well as high gloss. It gets tuch dry in less than 10 seconds, but it takes several minutes to dry all the layers beneath (I couldng leave dent in my polish after about five minutes). It gives high shine, but since Prince I've Been Gone is so glossy, the effect was not so visible. Like some other hybrid top coats, this one also picks up some colour, so the brush should be cleaned before every return to the bottle. Because of that I wouldn't consider it for use in nail art. It has a strong scent that reminds me of essential oils and that smell stays on nails for awhile.
