I hope you enjoy today's nails. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.  If you have any questions feel free to ask. I'd love to hear from you. Like me on Facebook to see more from me. I'm also on Instagram and Pinterest, and Twitter . Check out my other blog if you'd like to see non nail related blogs. 
Have a blessed day,

If you'd like to learn in more detail how I got this look, check out my Gradient glitter nail Tutorial blog post. The only difference is I used 2 glitters today. I went in first with a fine silver glitter and sponged it 2/3 down my nail, waited for it to dry thin sponged the larger glitter on the very tip.

Nail Polish Review: Dazzle Me, by Pure Ice

Hello again, everyone! I have another exciting blog post for you today. Today we will be talking about one of my new favorite chunky glitter polishes. If you love chunky holographic glitter polish, then you need to check this polish out! 


The above photo  is with 2 coats of Dazzle Me, by Pure Ice

The polish is, Dazzle Me, by Pure Ice. This is one of the new colors for 2013, and from what I hear it can be hard to get your hands on. So, I suggest you run to Walmart and get it while you still can! I love Pure Ice polishes in general. They are affordable, and what you see in the bottle is normally what you get on your nails. They have some sheer polish. However, you can normally tell in the bottle if it's going to be sheer or not. Moving on, back to Dazzle Me, it's a clear based silver holographic chunky glitter. It's packed full of fine silver glitter pieces as well as larger holographic hexagonal glitters. I find the lager glitter pieces tend to over power the fine glitter, but that's fine with me. It really is a truly gorgeous glitter polish. I like to use it when I'm doing a glitter accent nail, or doing gradient glitter nails. It also looks great with one coat applied over almost any color for a quick manicure. Unlike some glitter polishes, where you find yourself fishing for glitter, this one is packed full of glitter. You get a good amount of both fine and larger glitter with each coat. However, it will still take at least 3 coats if you want nothing but glitter. 

My biggest complaint is one I have with most chunky glitter polishes. The larger glitter will sometimes get caught on fabric or something. Even with a top coat, it still happens. As you all know, I always finish my nail designs with a top coat. It doesn't matter what top coat I use, it's still a rough texture. That might also lead to a glitter getting stuck to something, and then causing the polish to chip sooner than normal. It's not that bad, I'm just trying to give an honest review. Maybe, with a second coat of the top coat it wouldn't happen. 

In conclusion, I love this polish, and will happily continue to use it. It can be hard to find, I am pretty sure Pure Ice is only sold at Walmart. If you're looking for a good silver holographic  glitter, run and get it! Plus, it's under $2! You just can't go wrong! I'll insert pictures below. I hope you enjoyed today's review.

Have a Blessed weekend,
