Pure Ice Heartbreaker

I finally broke down and bought Pure Ice Heartbreaker after putting it off for pretty much forever. It is a super shimmery teal that transforms basically anything you put it over. I don't hold much stock in polishes that are meant for layering... I mean, if it's not opaque, what good is it? At least that's the school of thought I tend to subscribe to, closed minded as it may be. But for $2.50 or whatever Pure Ice polishes cost, I'm willing to play around. A warm shimmering gold-silvery aqua/teal is what we have going on here, so obviously it lends a superior mindbending green shimmer to things. I tried it over yesterday's BB Couture For Nails Dragon's Breath and was pretty impressed. It vaguely reminded me of that old Urban Decay polish... Cult? I think it was Cult. Aside from purples, I can't wait to try this bad boy over blues and blacks as well, and also other greens.... hm. Ideas, ideas. Anyway, I guess I'll amend my disdain for the layering polishes in the case of cheap layering polishes because at least you'll get bang for your buck. And here I am being a hypocrite when a couple weeks ago I was all gaga over CND's Crimson Sparkle. Oh well, I never claimed to be consistent.

Here's a couple photos of it over Dragon's Breath:

Can't wait to use this to amp up some other looks. Sorry that I didn't have more new stuff to feature today, but there's more to come, I promise.

ETA: I've been informed, after the fact, that this may by the "dud" version of Heartbreaker! It's still pretty neat, but I'll have to look for the real deal next time I hit up a Walmart.

Thanks for looking!

Pure Ice Purple Reign

Wow, hello gorgeous. This is one of the new Pure Ice polishes and HOLY CRAP it is so pretty. Medium, slightly dusty, plum with multi-sized gold shimmer, and these are not enough words to describe how gorgeous. It looks kinda pretty in the bottle but on the nail it flippin' SHINES. I love this and it's the perfect break from all those frickin' pastels I've been wearing lately. This is much, much more my speed. It reminds of an eyeshadow from MAC called Trax, except on steroids. The shimmer just glows and glows.

2 coats was perfection, the formula was perfect, it dried fast and was super shiny with Seche Vite. I honestly have no more words and I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

AWESOME! Love this polish, go grab it! It's new and at Wal-Mart, $2.50. I only have a handful of Pure Ice polishes but whenever I buy one I love it. This will not disappoint you.

Thats all & thanks for looking!
