Pure Ice First Time

Hello friends! Long time, no post. Life has been a little hectic since I last updated; between caring for a new kitten, traveling halfway across the globe to meet with my boyfriend, and getting back into the groove with college, it's been a little crazy! However, my passion for nail polish is still burning strong, despite selling off a small part of my collection. 

Today I bring you First Time from the fantabulous, and sorely missed, Pure Ice. I'm not sure exactly what happened to the brand, but it's no longer available at Walmart, and I believe it was quietly discontinued a couple of years back. It's too bad, really, because Pure Ice always had great quality for such a low price. Ah well, I guess we'll have to deal with Salon Perfect or whatever else you can get at Walmart for a couple bucks nowadays.

First Time is a hard polish to describe. One look and you'll notice the chrome-y finish... but what color is it? Under some lighting conditions it appears as a sort of sage green, but runs the gamut all the way through robin's egg blue. It really does depend upon the light you view it under.

That being said, it's a lovely color! Very calming. The formula is also not the worst I've encountered, but it's imperative that you let it dry fully between coats; if not, you'll end up with lumps and bumps that are so beautifully highlighted by the frosted, brushstroke'd finish. I managed to do pretty well on the fingers shown here, but my thumb looks like me wearing a form-fitting dress... Lump City!

Ah, well. I guess I should get going. There are two assignments due tomorrow that I'm totally neglecting, so catch you later!

And until next time... PEACE! xoxo
