Pure Ice Over the Top and Black Velour

For today I have some nail art that I did a while back that features two Pure Ice velour nail polishes that I found at Walmart.
This is the finished look that I did using Pure Ice Over the Top (copper) and Black Velour (black).

I started with two coats of Over the Top. I thought this one was awesome because I've never seen a copper matte/suede polish before.


Here it is with a topcoat so you can see how it looks both ways.

Then I placed striping tape in all directions and painted Black Velour over it and removed the tape.



That's it for today's post...short and to the point :)

Pure Ice Diamond Couture Glitters

Today I have five of the Pure Ice Diamond Couture glitters to show you!

For each picture I did one coat over black on my index and middle finger and two coats by itself on my ring finger and pinky. Each polish was the normal thickness that you would expect from a glitter polish and they went on smoothly.

Tinsel Town. A fine cobalt blue glitter with diamond shaped holographic glitter mixed throughout.

Material Girl. A fine rosy pink glitter with diamond shaped holographic glitter mixed throughout.

Sea-quin. A fine green-ish gold glitter with diamond shaped holographic glitter mixed throughout.

Party of Five. A fine turquoise glitter with diamond shaped holographic and turquoise glitter mixed throughout.

Hot Rocks. A fine silver glitter with diamond shaped holographic glitter mixed throughout.

These glitters can definitely be worn as full coverage or as top coats. I love that they come in a wide variety of colors and I feel that the diamond shaped "shard" glitter really adds some fun to these polishes! Pure Ice nail polish is available at Walmart for around $2 a bottle!

I've always loved Pure Ice because they offer such a wide variety of polishes and you can't beat their price point.

Pure Ice Femme Fatale and Crushed

If you guys follow me on Instagram, then you may remember when I posted about finding that huge Pure Ice display at Walmart. That day I bought 4 of their new velour polishes. The velour polishes are essentially matte/suede polishes. Here are two of them!


This was my finished look using Femme Fatale (forest green) and Crushed (gold).

I started with two coats of Crushed. This is how it dries without topcoat.


Then I added topcoat so I could show you how it looks shiny also!

Once the gold was dry, I added striping tape in a chevron pattern and painted Femme Fatale over it. I quickly removed the tape after painting on the green to create this look! (this is without topcoat)


These velour polishes went on very nicely with no dragging!

Pure Ice Review

Today I have 5 brand new Pure Ice polishes to review for you guys! For each polish I used two coats and no top coat, unless otherwise specified.
 
 
 
Getting Gorgeous. Blue glass fleck polish that shifts from blue to purple. The shift is definitely stronger in the bottle. Once on the nail, it wasn't as intense, but certainly still noticeable! Unfortunately, I couldn't get a good picture of the shift. Please trust that it's there!


Alter Ego. Deep coffee brown glass fleck polish with subtle white/silver flakes. Please click my pictures of this polish to get a closer look! The flakes in this are very tiny and not too noticeable, but they add so much depth to this polish. This is such an awesome color!


Nude Beach. Peachy, nude polish with silver shimmer. Kudos to Pure Ice for adding that shimmer to this polish! I'm a girl who loves nudes, so the shimmer that is added to this one makes it super unique, in my opinion!


Silver Lining (one coat) over Getting Gorgeous. Glitter topcoat that includes silver microglitter and holographic shards (diamond shape). I love this, it's so sparkly! Plus, I don't think I have any polishes with that cool shard/diamond shaped glitter. 


Glass of Bordeaux. Sheer black polish packed with red microglitter. Even though the first coat went on sheer, it was perfect after the second coat. This one is so vampy and dark!



The formula and brush was good for each one of these polishes. Dry time was average, not too fast, but not too slow. For around only $2 a bottle, and such a wide color selection, it doesn't get much better than that! They receive an A in my book!

Awakening with Heart Breaker

The other day, I suddenly got the urge to play with some polishes I've had for a long time. What I came up with turned out gorgeous, if I may say so myself :)

Cult Nails Awakening topped with Pure Ice Heart Breaker. I used two coats of Awakening and one coat of Heart Breaker! Awakening will always have a special place in my heart because it's one of the first Cult Nails nail polishes that I ever ordered, and its one of my favorites!

Excuse the tip wear in these photos, I wore this mani for a few days before I got around to taking pics lol.

The shimmer that Heart Breaker adds is just beautiful! I want to put it over every color to see what it does!
