Pure Ice Twilight inspired polishes??

Sunday, November 25, 2012 0

Pure Ice has 5 brand new formulated shades for your review.

The end of the story begins with the bright pale skin (Nude Beach) with blazing red eyes (Glass of Bordeaux). A love story that asks a young girl to risk it all. The diamond ring (Silver Lining) and the garden wedding that changed everything. You can't take your eyes off that unforgettable BLUE dress (Getting Gorgeous) and the warmth and complexity of the wolf's imprint (Alter Ego).


 Want an out of body experience for your nails? Yes!Pure Ice 672CP Getting Gorgeous - Blue with purple and blue Iridescent microglitter
Pure Ice 680CP Alter Ego - Rich coffee brown with copper microglitter and silver small shard flakes
Pure Ice 656CP - Nude Beach - Perfect nude with pearl shine and creme finish
Pure Ice 657CP - Glass of Bordeaux - Sheer black with blood red microglitter
Pure Ice 669CP - Silver Lining - Clear polish with silver glitter and silver diamond large shard flakes

I have a quick swatch for you guys. Left to right: Glass Bordeaux, Getting Gorgeous
Glass Bordeaux looked exactly like it did in the bottle...Getting Gorgeous was a bit of a disappointment.  The duochome effect in the bottle did not translate over to the nail when swatched :(   This seems to happen a lot with duochromes...looks awesome in the bottle but not so much on the nail. I used 3 coats each.  There were no application problems.


Pure Ice Nail Polish does not contain formaldehyde, toluene and DBP
Pure Ice Nail Polish is sold at Wal-Mart stores nationwide.

November 8 for No H8: Eradicate Hate in the Nail Polish Community

Wednesday, November 7, 2012 4

Bullying is not funny. It is not cool. It is not right. And more importantly, it is not okay. 
Most of us are, thankfully, residents of countries that support tolerance and many of our families have settled in these places simply for that reason. Generations later, it is our responsibility to perpetuate that message of tolerance across our new social platforms, including the internet.

As members of the nail polish blogging community, we all share a love of beauty, color, and lacquer. Other than that, we are remarkably different: from our race to our religion to our hair color...even to our polish application techniques. To marginalize anyone because of those differences is completely unacceptable and today I take a stand against that. I refuse to allow other people's view of "normal" dictate how I behave, believe, and blog.

In solidarity with a multitude of bloggers linked below, my purple manicure represents my proud commitment to the No H8 movement. Today, November 8, I dedicate my post to ending bullying of any kind and to encouraging diversity and imperfection among our colorful community.

Lime Crime Les Desserts d'Antoinette Nail Polish Collection

1


Today I have the entire Lime Crime Les Desserts d'Antoinette Nail Polish Collection to show you guys.  It took forever to edit the photos..which is pretty much cropping and watermarking the images.

If you are interested in purchasing these polishes you can take a look at them here


 **Please note I have no top coat on any of these polishes, what you see is exactly it. 

First polish up is  PASTELCHIO a pastel lime green chartreuse.  I used two coats. The first coat applied streaky but the second coat evened it out. 



The next color is PARFAIT DAY a pastel pink nail polis.h I used three coats for this polish. It applied streaky for coats 1 and 2 but the 3rd coat evened it out.




Third we have PEACHES ♥ CREAM a pastel orange nail polish. Do you see the heart in the name of the polish? I think that is the cutest thing ever! I used three coats for this polish. It was a bit streaky again but the third coat evened it out. Do you seen a trend with these polishes? streaky at first but even out nicely.


 
 


The next color we have is LAVENDAIRY a pastel purple lilac nail polish. I used three coats but for this one you can get away with two. I love love love purple and so before trying on this polish I had already fallen in love with it.




Next we have MILKY WAYS a cream off-white french tip nail polish. I really had streaking problems with this polish. I only used two coats. You can see on my index finger that I didn't get 100% coverage on this polish. This is probably my least favorite polish out of the collection.


 
 
Next is ONCE IN A BLUE MOUSSE a pastel tiffany nail polish. I would describe this as a robin egg blue polish. I used three coats for this. I felt this polish to be a bit more chalky than the other ones...it was hard to apply to the nails. 

 



Lastly we have CREMA DE LIMON a pastel yellow nail polish. I used three coats for this polish. For a pastel yellow I think this applied beautifully, it wasn't streaky or chalky.  This is probably my favorite out of the entire collection.

NEW! Dermelect ‘ME’ Resort 2013 Collection

0

A follow up to Dermelect’s successful debut ME collection featuring six anti-aging nail lacquers (June 2012), the ME Resort 2013 Collection offers the brand’s signature peptide technology targeting fragile, weak nails in three new stunning shades. Inspired by colors seen at Resort 2013 designer runway, the ME Resort 2013 Collection was further influenced by the calming reflections of a tropical getaway. “Everyone can wear these on-trend hues, whether it’s from day to night or from work into the weekend,” says NYC-based celeb manicurist Elle. “I can see these colors, especially Moon Kissed, gracing the covers and red carpet because of how versatile and complementary the colors are to one another as well as to the season’s trend forecast.”
 
 

This trio of vibrant, 2-in-1 shades is formulated with a remarkable manicure extending recipe that will nourish and strengthen brittle nails, a common consequence of winter’s harsh weather. Infused with ProSina, a pure protein peptide extracted from New Zealand sheep’s wool, the lacquers deliver a fast drying, high gloss shine while providing an unequaled level of strength for stubborn nails to grow longer and more resistant to chipping, peeling and splitting.  


           Available on www.dermelect.com

HOW IT WORKS

The first coat instantly bonds to the nail, while the second fuses with the base coat to create a flexible web of color that resists chipping and improves brittleness (patent-pending technology). The ME Resort 2013 Collection’s 2-in-1 formula combines fast drying, high shine, and a healthy ‘green’ dose of vitamins, peptides, and moisture to offer a colorful and stylish solution to the contemporary woman’s beauty concern—aging hands and nails. For best results, two coats are recommended.
