Pure Ice Vinyl Remix

I got some very interesting polishes in the mail to review. These are new. I've never seen something like these. They are black crackle, but they are a color, also. Pure Ice has a new collection called Vinyl Remix. <<Click on that to see more about it. it is all kinds of awesome.
Here are the sets i received:

 They all come with a white base, which quite honestly is AWESOME! It covers in 1 coat. When I play with these more I will post more about them. I wonder if it is just plain white or if there is truly something special about it. I will have to use other polishes with it and report back.
 So here is what I came up with.







OOOOOOH and a VIDEO, TOO!!!!



I don't know why there is no thumbnail, but i assure you there is a movie there!
This is unlike any "crackle" that is out there. You really need to experience this for yourself. I am unsure how much these are going to run, but you get 2 polishes in a pack. And these polishes are SO worth it! Bravo Pure Ice/Bari Beauty for putting out a neat unique polish!

YAY!!! Pure Ice!

This is a pic heavy post. Lots to do!

I have some Pure Ice to show you. I got a package from Pure Ice! Pure Ice is manufactured by Bari Cosmetics. Enough of the business stuffs, on to the real reason you're here!!! PICS!

First off, I have Not Now. This is under lamp light. It is NOT color correct, but it gave off a magnificent metallic sheen which is visible under normal lights. Very cool color!


This is more color accurate. It is a lovely shade of emerald green. I've only recently gotten into green so I don't have one quite like it. The formula was great, I applied 2 thin coats, it could possibly be a one coater but I'd rather do 2 thin coats than 1 thick.



This picture is my favorite


The same day, I got Fantasy Fire from a friend. Everyone layers it over blue/purple/black. Being the rebel I am, I put it over Not Now. Turns out, it is perfect underwear. It made it flash green, which is just amazing.  (excuse the ding, I was having issues...)




So after the dingage, I had to do something else. It so happened I also received a Pure Ice Crackle called Lightning Strikes. This is HANDS DOWN the best crackle I have ever used. It would be a lot of trial and error with OPI and ChG. This one needed no coaxing and no special tricks. Just 1 coat, and it cracked. I wish I could find it around here.



Awesome polish, and I think awesome mani...what do you think?

ok, so this is a little late.

I know, I know...but better late than never. :)

I couldn't make up my mind about a St. Patricks Day mani, so I'll just post 2 that I did and took pictures of. The one I LOVED, I didn't get a picture of (if you can believe it).

This one is Orly Here Comes Trouble over Black stamped with Special White using BPM71


This was me screwing around not being able to make up my mind...
Pinky is Pure Ice Not Now topped with Pure Ice Crackle Lightning Strikes
Ring finger is Orly Au Champagne topped with a Monkey decal (many designs available here)
Middle finger is a water marble of Not Now, ChG Cha Cha Cha, and Au Champagne over Au Champagne.




Thanks!
