Pure Ice Crackle Collection Part 1

I admit I am a sucker for these damn crackle type nail polishes! Over the weekend I noticed these Pure Ice Crackle polishes at Walgreens and knew I had to pick up a couple. I also saw that Sally Hansen has a few crackles out now as well, but I have seen a few reviews on those ones and wasn't impressed. The Pure Ice crackles are $3.99 each and come in a wide variety of colors. I chose 4 different colors than any of the crackles I already have, in case they were good and then I would have "duplicates" of similar colors. I admit I didn't hold high hopes for these nail polishes because I have tried some from the regular line of Pure Ice and though they was kinda eh. So of course we had to put these to the test!

I tried to so them all over a lighter color and a darker!

Catwalk- bright lemon yellow with some shimmer.

I was actually surprised how well this one showed up. In the bottle and on the brush it looked like it was going to be pretty sheer. I think it showed up really well!

Over a bright pink

Over a glittery gunmetal

Shattered- Bright lime green, no shimmer. This one was a little thicker than some of the others and wasn't as easy to work with. At first I didn't think it was going to crack very much .

Over a bright pink

Over a perfect purple

(this one reminds me of the ninja turtles for some reason)

Crushed- bright tangerine orange with a pearly shimmer

This one cracked the best out of all of the Pure Ice Crackles

Over bright yellow!

Over a bright pink. I realize you can barely see this one, and honestly I like that. I think it gives you a nice edge without looking BAM in YO FACE! If you move the nail you can see the difference and I think it gives a nice splash of spice.

Lightning Strikes- nice metallic sparkly silver.

This one is super sheer and super easy to work with. This one is my favorite of the bunch

Over China Glaze's For Audrey

Over a bright pink.

I give these polishes a 10!!! I love them! I can honestly tell you I like these more than the O.P.I Shatter or the China Glaze Crackles. I think the Shatters and the CG Crackles are thick and you have to be quick with working with them or hope for the best once it's on your nail. I also have issues with them being kinda clumpy at the rim of the jar because of trying to get a thin amount on the brush. That's why I like that these Pure Ice ones are a thinner formula. Not to mention they are much cheaper than the other 2 as well.

I must go back and get a few more colors!

Will you give these a chance if you see them in the store?

Pure Ice Crackle Collection Part 2

Not long ago I wrote this post talking about the new Pure Ice Crackles.Since then I have fallen even more in love with these crackles and knew I had to go out and get more! As of right now I have them all except the white one. I personally didn't care for the white one from China Glaze, it worked fine I just didn't care for the way white looked so I decided not to get it when it came to these Pure Ice ones. Like I said in my previous post these crackles are very affordable, at just $3.99 a bottle and can be found at most Walgreens but mainly at Walmart. I also stated that I enjoyed these crackles more then I liked the China Glaze and O.P.I ones. The Pure Ice ones are not as thick and don't dry as fast as the other ones in my opinion as well.

Show Stopper is a bright classic red. This one is not my personal favorite, but I think it could be played up around Christmas or Valentines Day.

Over China Glaze's Jitterbug ( gunmetal grey)

Over Sally Hansen's Bubble Gum Pink

Hot Couture is a bright hot pink with no shimmer

Over Sally Hansen's Mint Sorbet

Love this one!!

All Shook Up is deep purple with shimmer

Over a pinkish orange color

over a bright lemon peel yellow

Jetsetter- deep cobalt blue

over Sally Hansen's Lilac

over Sally Hansen's Sun Kissed

Strike a Pose is soooo pretty!!! It's a bright shimmery turquoise!!!

over a hot hot pink

Over a bright orange, even though this color I tried it over didn't crackle much I still love it.

Strike a Pose is my favorite out of all of these!

Strobe Light is just a basic black. I wasn't going to get this one because I have both the China Glaze one and the O.P.I black shatter, but oh well.

over Sally Hansen's Pacific Blue

over Sally Hansen's Going Green

I don't really have anything else to say about these other than I love these. If you haven't checked out my last post about these and would like to see the other colors to this collection click here!!!!

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
