Pure Ice

 I saw this at Wal-mart the other day I had to pick it up. Just so I could give it a whirl. This is "Art in Motion" a new collection from Pure Ice.

First you paint your nails a thick coat of "Platinum," which would be the white polish. Once that has completely dried, you get to decide which way you would like to paint on the black polish. You can paint the polish, side-ways, straight, diagonal, or a mixture of both. When you paint on the black polish, it will begin to crackle and the white base coat will began to change colors. The color the polish changes depends on the kind of "Art in Motion" polish you buy. The polish I bought was a purple color so I ended up with light, very pretty purple color! I really like the new Pure Ice collection. However, I could have achieved the same look with a regular Pure Ice polish and Crackle. Over all I liked the way my manicure turned out and the effect was very cool.

"Facets of Fuchsia" with Accent nail

I LOVE THIS POLISH!!!! I got "Facets of Fuchsia" for Christmas and I couldn't wait to do a manicure with it. So here it is!!!!!!!!!!!

Colors I used:


Accent Nail: "Dream On" from SinFul Colors, with one coat of "Shine of the Time" from Essie.
Other Nails: "Twilight" from Jordana, "Night Prowl" from Wet N' Wild, with two coats of "Facets of Fuchsia" from Revlon on top.

What ya think? I didn't want just a plain mani so I decided to add an accent nail. For my accent nail I used "Dream On" from Sinful Colors with a layer of "Shine of the Time" over top of it.
For my other fingers I used one coat of "Twilight" from Jordana (Black polish) and one coat of "Night Prowl" from Wet N' Wild. Then I painted two coats of "Facets of Fuchsia" over them. The reason I used "Twilight" is because "Facets of Fuchsia" has a very thin black base and having a thick black base already on my nail, made the glitter pop more. I used "Night Prowl" because it is a black polish with fine purple glitter and this polish just added more glitter to my nails. Once I got the polish on  my nails I fell in love with it even more!! It is probably on my list of top 10 favorite polishes. If you do not have this polish it is definitely a polish you NEED to find.

Birthday Haul and Review!!

Since I have amazing friends and they know I have a nail polish addiction. I was given some nail polish for my Birhday!! There isnt many gifts that can top loads of polish haha. I ended up getting 10 new polishes. A set of Crayola polish (yes! like the crayon Crayola), a set of stripers from Kiss and three random polish from Pure Ice.

L to R- Bubble Gum, Grape, Blueberry and Green Apple from Crayola. Yes, this is the same company that makes crayons. My friend knew I liked crayons so she found it comical that they also made nail polish. The Pink and purple polishes are a little sheer, but with 2 coats the color looks great. Also, each polish is a scented polish, and they all smell amazing!



L to R "Rock Star"Pearl Black" and "Yellow" from Kiss Nail Art Paint. So far I have used "Pearl Black" and "Yellow." I really like the smoothness of the brush because it applies well. Also, the length of the brush is good for nail art. The polish is great and applies very opaque. Plus usually when you buy these in a set a set of rhinestones or nail stencil are include.

L to R- "Once Again," "No Means No" and "First Time" from Pure Ice. I had a chance to use all three of these polish and all of them are great.
"Once Again" is a blue, glitter packed polish. It is really thin polish, so it took about four coats. But the fine, light blue glitter is amazing!
"No Mean No" is a royal purple polish and very pretty. It is very opaque so it only take one coat, two at most to get good coverage.
"First Time" is a medium green metallic polish that gives your nails a foil look. I am currently wearing it right now and really like it. I applied two coats but you  probably could go with one. The polish has a nice shine to it. However, I had some brush strokes when I applied the polish.  But it could be the brush in my polish.
All three of these polishes are great and I can't wait to use them in other mani's

Also, I got a Manicure Clean-Up Pin!!! I LOVE THIS THING!!! Any time I make a smudge or mess up on nail art. I can get this pen and it gently removes the polish without removing the base coat. The pen came with two changeable tips. So when one gets dirty I will have a new one. So far I have really liked the pen and it has worked great.

Over all the colors in my Birthday Haul were great and I can't wait to use them in my future manicures.

Polish Review! "Totally Toffee" Revlon

I have had this Polish for a while now. But today I figured I would do a review on the polish. I got this polish about a year ago from Wal-Mart for around 4.00$. It is a great light brown polish and the brush is wide enough without being too wide. However, it is a very thin polish and takes 3 to 4 coats to get the thickness I prefer.  Over all this color isn't my favorite. But it has a nice shine and is great for nail art.

Manhattan-NYC

I absolutely love this color!! When I bought this polish I thought it would be a great fall color, because of the dark purple/red shade. The cost for this color was around a dollar. So it was very affordable. When I painted the polish on my nails I was a concerned it would be a little dark for me. I placed a coat of "Dream" from sinful colors underneath it, hoping it would lighten the color. However, the polish seemed to lighten the longer it was on my nails. This polish took about two coats and it applied very smooth. The brush was really nice and I had no brush strokes left with I was done painting.
 Even though this polish by itself was amazing, I decide it need a little more sparkle. I add one coat of "Party of Five Glitters" from Wet N' Wild. I'm not big on solid colored manicures so this added just enough sparkle for me.
If you have never tried a N.Y.C color it is definitely a brand worth trying.

Here and extra picture I took, while I was taking pics of my finger. I absolutely love taking pictures of flowers.

"Bronze Baby" Petties

Hello Dear Readers,I want to start off by apologize for the pics. I am still trying to figure out how to take them and such. Anyways, for this Mani I used "Bronze Baby" from Petties. It was my base coat for my snake skin manicure, but I wore the solid brown for about a day or two. I will be posting the snake skin manicure and technique in another post. This polish isn't on of my favorites, (I prefer brighter colors.) But it is a nice brown/bronze color and has a great shine after it dries, even without applying a top coat.

The only thing I don't like about this polish, is depending on how many coats you apply you do not always get a smooth finished, sometimes you can still see the ridges in your nails (or at least I can in mine.) In this picture I'm only wearing one coat and no top coat. Over all this color is an older color but still good.
