Pure Ice - Irreplaceable

Hello Everybun!

There's Good news and Bad news. The Bad news is that I was unable to post Friday and Sunday. The good news is that I made $111 from the garage sale that I had Friday thru Sunday! I'm sure those of you that have held garage sales know that it's absolutely EXHAUSTING to have to pull everything out, set it up, sit all day and then put it away and start back all over again the next day.

I was able to sneak in a quick mani, thankfully, with an untried polish that I got from a recent haul.

Can you tell that she was hard to capture?!

Irreplaceable is a black jelly with bits of black glitter, silver glitter and large silver hexes. This is 3 coats on its own. Over black I'm certain only one coat will do but for the sake of experimentation I was curious to see how many coats it would actually take! Of course I added a nice coat of Seche Vite to top it off.

The formula was good, On the first coat it looked a little odd because of how little the opacity was. It looked almost gray and the small black glitter, which you can't see very much in this picture, stand out a lot. After a thick second coat and a third for certainty, there were still patchy spots which is why experimenting with base colors with this would be awesome!

So now I'm off to play animal crossing on my 3DS because I'm sure my town is now overgrown with weeds! See you all Wednesday!

p.s My dommie hand's ready for her close up so no more leftie after today! YAY QUALITY PICTURES! YAY FOR NO MORE AWKWARD POSING!

Pure Ice - Platinum & China Glaze - Whirled Away

Hi all,

Today's mani was a result of nothing but pure boredom. I slathered on a few coats of Pure Ice and wondered what else I could do with it. That's when I saw my nail mail that I recently got from Holly over at Holly and Polish. She's actually currently having a blog sale and you can check out what she has here. I found these really pretty liquid eyeliners and at the end of this post I'll show you the polishes I picked up!

Anyways, here is what I came up with due to my boredom.

That's right! A mani so easy, virtually anyone could do it!

The more I look, the more I like it! I used 3 coats of Pure Ice , 1 coat of China Glaze and 1 Coat of Seche (thus the little bubbles on my ring and pointer fingers)

and here is my promised nail mail pic!

I asked her to send me 3 surprise Shimmer polishes from the list that she had and I loved the ones she chose and of course I snatched up Whirled Away because I've seen it EVERYWHERE. Barielle is something that I haven't seen because according to the Website where they have their "where to buy" tab, they don't sell it anywhere where I live. Boo. I'll show you what I've done with this little beauty on Friday!

Have a happy humpday!

Pure Ice - Private Show

Hello everyone! 

I recently went to walmart and of course everytime I go anywhere and I know they sell Nail Polish, I HAVE TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE! So naturally I went to check it out and I was surprised to see a beautiful display (in the middle of the aisle none the less) of Pure Ice! I looked around and saw many colors that looked dupish to the ones I already have until I saw this beauty, Private Show :

Private Show is a black base with blue, purple, red and silver micro glitters. Application was three coats and it made my camera freak out a bit because of the glam factor of the glitters. I love how smooth application is with pure ice, but of course removal was as expected with so much glitter : terrible. I think it's 10 times as worse to remove glitter from acrylics because the glitter seems to stick more to the acrylic, no matter how much I file.

I wanted to see how Shimmer Nail Polish - Elsa looked as a simple tape mani over this as this was the result :

It's a very subtle look unless it's in a certain shadow and it kind of reminded me of a super glittery tuxedo minus the buttons and bow tie. 

Here is a bit of a blurrier picture to show all of the glitzy glitter bomb :

Elsa is the first Shimmer Nail Polish that I bought and I have to say, I love it! There are so many amazing colors to choose from and I definitely need to think of some nail art to play around with this one.

You can find Shimmer Polish here on Etsy.
