I’ve seen vanity license plates and never given in, but i finally caved to the vanity credit card. There are a host of companies that allow this little, free luxury, and you get to set up the images and preview before you commit (see above). With an option to change images every 30 days, you can really build up an interesting way to flash the portfolio. Check details – some providers up the interest rate with custom images.
Have you ever done a vanity card? What is the most interesting way you’ve shown off your work?

I pulled these puppies out to prepare for an intense afternoon of swatching, just as the receptionist walked by.
“Ooooooo…Those colors are sex. That is a box of sex.”
I can’t think of a better way to sum up the vivacious collection from Cuccio. Best known for their luxurious spa/scrub treatments along with sister companies Star Pro and Cina, California based Cuccio is reaching the world with the new lines. Company founder Tony Cuccio recently returned from visits to Taiwan and Vietnam; just a few weeks earlier he had been overseeing the launch in central Europe with Elaine Watson, who helped develop the line.

Having just launched in February, Cuccio Colours are doing very well. Sixty nail polish colors created using a triple pigmentation process practically give one coat coverage for this lacquer. That saturation gives a real vibrancy to the collection, but subdued colors remain classic and not overbearing. I’m not quite sure how they did it.
Cuccio also has a matching soak off gel called Veneer. I’m hoping to give it an official review on here soon, but I can say that I found both lines to be very workable, great for art, and pretty gorgeous. Following the Star International strategy, the quality product is also well priced, and if you are going to Premier Orlando (Florida, June 2 &3) – even better. The show specials are phenomenal!
