Pure Ice - 5 Shades of Grey, Swatches and Review

Good morning beauties! Today I have five shades of grey from Pure Ice to share with you.

Beware

Beware has a clear base loaded with micro silver glitter.  I sponged it over Eyes of Steel and then matted it to get that "industrial" look.  I love how it came out!  Beware is a must have for all glitter fanatics, as it looks great layered and alone.  

Silver Mercedes

 Silver Mercedes is a true silver chrome that went on smoothly. This is two coats without a base coat.  I was afraid it would show my nail ridges but they didn't show through. You do have to be care with the brush strokes to make them blend. I can't believe I never tried this silver before. I hear it's also great for stamping which is a plus!

Eyes of Steel

Eyes of Steel is a smokey charcoal chrome that went on well with two coats. The brush strokes are more obvious here, but it could be due to my application.  I'm not sure if it stamps well but I'm going to try it out soon.

Electric 

Black base with silver shimmer throughout. Unlike some formulas, the shimmer is very obvious on the nail and softens the look of black and makes it more of a charcoal.  I used two coats here.

Lightning Strikes

Lightning Strikes is a shimmering silver crackle. I used 1 coat over Eyes of Steel.  I think it crackled well but I should have waited for my base coat to dry before applying.     

These polishes are sleek and very affordable at $2-4.  A great "steel" for the price.  The 5 shades of grey are available now at Wal-Mart or at Bariscosmetics.com. Silver Mercedes and Beware are my favorites from the set!

10 Day Challenge - Day 9

I'm joining a new challenge group and I wanted to finish up the 10 Day challenge while working on the other challenges as well. I have several favorite color combinations but I decided to go with pink, purple and blue.

The colors I choose were: Color Club Sweetpea, Hydrangea Kiss and Sally Hansen Bewitched. The stickers are from Ebay. For stamping I used my new DRK-A image plate. I purchased my image plate from the lovely Rhonni in the Adventures in Stamping group on Facebook.

You may have noticed my new nubbins. I broke two nails and the nail wraps were high maintenance so I decided to start over. I feel awkward but I'm getting used to them.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy polishing!

Bride of Frankenstein Halloween Mani

Hello! Here's the second mani I promised. I liked the french tip on my last mani and thought it would look great as hair, so I made this Frankenstein manicure, lol. For the face I used Pure Ice Wild Thing (which is fitting). I was originally going to use Damone Roberts but didn't want to waste it. Anyways, here she is. Hope you like it! Stay tuned for more Halloween manis. Have a great night!
