Swatches: Pure Ice - Sleigh Ride & Twist and Shout.

Hello dearies...

A couple of days ago, I was in Walmart and pick up these FIVE Polishes by Pure Ice. 
They had a festive look to them and they also reminded me of Indie Polishes. 

Today, I have swatches of two out of those five for you. :-)

First up is Pure Ice - Sleigh Ride
This one is a mixture of bar and hexagonal glitters.
Green, Red, and Silver. 


For my swatches, I layered it over Zoya - Delilah, because it was sheer on its own. 

Here's one coat on plain nails. 




 Next up is Pure Ice - twist and shout

This is three coats on its own. I Like the opacity and loved this alone. It show case all the blue and red glitters!! So pretty!!



My overall thoughts on both of these is that they're lovely.
Good formula and definitely nice to see big companies making polishes that give the Indie Polishes a run for their money. :-D
These are considerably cheaper than Indies too... $1.97 per bottle. WOWZA!!!

Have you seen any of these at your local walmart stores??

Anyhoo, that's it for now.
Till Later, God Bless.

    1. The silver Hexes are more visible IRL. Something with the camera's flash made them disappear.

  6. Loving these colors/glitter combos, but I can't help but notice how in less expensive polishes (I've had the problem in UO polishes and some Revlon) the larger glitters curl. Even though the bar glitter is taco-ing the polish still looks great on you (it would drive me ocd nutty but then again, since Pure Ice doesn't have the higher price tag--it may not bother others) :)

  7. Oh wow, checking out the diamond glitter one--wondering how that one will pan out! The chartreuse is really pretty.

  8. I'm not a big string glitter fan, but I really like Sleigh Ride!
