Pure Ice "Dreamy"

My third polish from the five polish Walmart trip is one I'm pretty disappointed in.The glitter in this polish and the color are unreal!I absolutely love the way it looks in the bottle and on the nail.Unfortunately though,it chipped within less than 24 hours of wearing.Anyhow,let's get to it.


"Dreamy" is a beautiful hot pink that has slight orange undertones and blue and green flakies. The product is pretty sheer and,even after three coats,there is still slight VNL.Despite the thinness of the product,the application was wonderful!Of course,being a glitter,the texture was pretty rough and bumpy even after top coat was applied.Like I said,the polish chipped in less than a day..and I didn't do anything crazy.


Look how beautiful it is in the bottle.I absolutely love the color in the bottle but for some reason the glitter just doesn't really live up to it on the nail.It's almost like the flakies sink under the polish and are only really visible in super bright sunlight.All in all,I would say this was an average purchase for me.Luckily,it was only $2.This would probably be better for toes so I don't have to look at the imperfections so much.

Thanks for reading!

Pure Ice "Taupe Drawer"

I have two followers!!! I am beyond excited..I'm such a dork.To those of you reading,thank you SO much! Anyhow,in my recent trip to WalMart,I got 5 polishes(including the one in the last post) so I will be blogging about these in the upcoming days.

Today's post is about a sexy little number I picked up.It's a beautiful purple-based taupe FOR ONLY $2!!And the name absolutely tickles me every time I look at it.


Although the color isn't very true to life,I just wanted to show the amazing name.


This little beauty applied like a dream.One hearty coat could have been enough but I am really skeptical about one-coaters so I decided to go with two thinner layers.It has worn nicely so far and I really like the color.It is a .5 fl. oz. bottle,the same amount of polish in an OPI.The brush wasn't as thin as the Petites from my last post but not quite an OPI Pro Wide either.I'll try to think to get a brush picture next time I post one like this.

Unfortunately I don't think this polish does anything for my skin tone..I can't explain it.It's like my fingernails look very unnatural with this type of color.So sad.


I know my photog skills aren't quite up to par...I'm still working on that.
