I am not a nail polish snob at all. If I like a color, I get it. I don't care where it came from or how much it cost. I love some of the .99 ones just as much as I love my $11 ones. And honestly, I like the cheap ones better sometimes because I can get 2 or 3 for the same price I can get 1! Plus, I don't feel bummed if I don't love it since I'm on a budget and can only spend so much on nail polish every couple of weeks or so. Brings me to the topic at hand...Pure Ice sold excusively at Walmart. $1.99 a pop. And guess what? 55 new shades. That's right, 55. If you don't know already, Revlon bought Pure Ice out (along with BonBons) and have introduced a fabulous new line of colors! I only picked 5. For now. It was a hard decision, too. Out of 55 and $1.99?? Think of the willpower I must have had!!
FYI: I would love to swatch these out on MY nails but just didn't have time tonight. I just swatches them out on my nail wheels for the time being. Pic was taken indoor with flash.
Left to right in the pic:
Internationally Known - (but I'm known to rock the microphone) sorry...couldn't resist...some of you kids I'm sure just now did not get that. See, it was a rap song early 90's by Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock...oh nevermind. anyway...umm...it's a creme teal, covered completely in 2 coats, beautiful peacock-ish color. Love. Although I had a few polishes close to this, no exact dupe in my personal collection, but I'm sure there is one out there. Probably not at $1.99 though!
Glass of Bordeaux - tiny red glitter in a black almost jellyish base. Took 3 coats to get opaque, but awesome outcome.
Monte Carlo - bright fuchsia-plum jelly. Yes, jelly. Pure Ice made a jelly! I don't usually like jellies, but the color is a beauty on this one. 2 coats did pretty well, I was surprised.
Taxi - tiny gold glitter suspended in a lavender base. I don't have anything even remotely like it in my collection and I can't wait to wear this. 3 coats for opaque. It's my favorite of the 5!
Getting Gorgeous - tiny electric blue glitter in an electric blue base. 3 coats for opaque, but it is gorgeous.
