Reswatch: Brucci Black Emerald

My neighbourhood grocery stocks a few OPI (I picked up my bottle of OPI Smitten with Mittens here ages ago) and a LOT of Brucci nail polish. The first Christmas I lived here, they sent out $10 off $20 coupons, so I there to check out their polishes.

Overall, I was pretty impressed with the Bruccis I tried. The only thing that bugged me, was that the caps seemed to make this screeching sound whenever I opened or closed the bottles! I'm not sure if I was imagining it, but I decided to get rid of them and keep only 1 that I loved (I decanted it to a quieter bottle, lol):

Brucci Black Emerald - This is one of the few duochromes I love. These pictures don't do the polish justice. I really need to try to take these pics again!


Happy Friday, everyone! :D

Brucci polishes

I'm having a great Friday so far! I got the good news that I passed a major exam I wrote in October and I couldn't be happier about it. I was fully prepared to accept a failure and now I still can't believe it! I'm walking around the office with a spring in my step! :)

I don't think I posted these Brucci pictures. Brucci is a brand you can find in the North East (perhaps only in the NYC-area?) that is pretty cheap! I got these at a local pharmacy for $2.49 each and I had a coupon for the store as well :) These smell pretty bad and don't mention anything about being B3F on the back so... XD

Brucci Black Emerald - I'm generally not a fan of duochromes, but this is just gorgeous!




Brucci Blue Sapphire - A pretty blue, but I have yet to wear it as a full mani :O



Brucci Amelia's Amethyst - This is a vivid purple, very pretty! This reminded me of Zoya valerie, but they are definitely NOT dupes.



Brucci Grape Galaxy - A cooler toned purple which reminded me of Zoya Julieanne, but with smaller flake/glitter particles. It has a similar formula: their bases are sheer on the first coat, but looks opaque at two coats.



Brucci Elizabeth's "A Natural" - A neutral creme that has a great formula! Opaque in two coats with no streaking!


Brucci Gianna's Rockin' Blue - Very bright turquoise! Again, great coverage at two coats.


I've been really impressed with these Bruccis, other than their smell and the occassional squeaky sound you get opening and closing the cap, hehe.
