Pure Ice--Bite Me & Show Stopper Crackle

Hi loves! Today I have another one from the vault. This is Pure Ice Bite me with Show Stopper Crackle on top. I love this gold! It was sheer on the first coat, but was good in two and it looks awesome. The crackle worked well and I had no problems with it. I'm pretty cracked out already and this is not an exception. I make exceptions when it's a new color that I haven't seen before, but this one isn't anything new and I wasn't amazed by it.

Two coats of Bite Me, no topcoat.

Pure Ice--Pool Party & Catwalk Crackle

Happy Friday! As of today I'm officially on my summer vacation! I have so many nail ideas I can't wait to get started, but first I want to get some stuff out of the vault that I never got around to. Today I have Pure Ice Pool Party and Pure Ice Catwalk (crackle). I was pretty surprised at how well the yellow crackle worked--one because I've never seen it before, and two because I thought it would be pretty sheer over blue, but it turned out nicely! These can be purchased from Bari Cosmetics.

Pure Ice Crackle & Ice Duo--Gold Glitter & Black Crackle

Today I have my very first nail polish that I received for review! I feel like a real blogger now! I got this duo and another duo that I'll post another day. It was the coolest thing ever! So anyways, Pure Ice released several "Crackle and Ice Duos" that are basically sets of polish and a crackle that goes with it. The base polish I have here is called 582CP (I wish it had an actual name) and it's a clear base with gold and copper glitter. I got good coverage with 3 coats, but personally I probably wouldn't wear it alone. I applied a topcoat over the glitter first and then added one thick coat of Strobe Light, the black crackle. You can purchase these polishes here at Bari Cosmetics.

China Glaze Crackle Glaze Metals - Oxidized Aqua

Wow. It's almost been a whole week since I last posted. I mentioned last week that I started school in an R.N. (Registered Nursing) Program and it is no joke! I have stuff to post, I just don't have the time or energy. I'm so exhausted at the end of the day. Part of the week requires me to be at school or hospital at 6:30 AM so you can probably see why I won't be posting as often as I used to. Anyways, here's something I did a couple weeks ago where my nails are still long. I had to chop them off last week for school so now they're really short. Enjoy these next few posts where my nails are still long and pretty =[ haha. I used China Glaze First Mate as a base and China Glaze Oxidized Aqua Crackle.

China Glaze Crackle Glaze Metals - Latticed Lilac

Here's another one of the CG Crackle Glazed Metals. For a base color I used China Glaze Urban Night and the Metal Crackle on top is Latticed Lilac. I like the color combo, but the lilac color is so light, it almost looks silver. I would actually prefer if it looked a little more purple because I already own O.P.I. Silver Shatter and CG Metal Crackle in Platinum Pieces (silver) so I was hoping it would look completely different from other ones I own already. Still great color and formula though!

China Glaze Crackle Glaze Metals - Platinum Pieces

I have another short post for you guys today. I got married last month in Hawaii, so today my husband and I are having a wedding reception for all of our family to attend. I'm getting my hair done right now =] Here I used Metal Crackle in Platinum Pieces over Sinful Colors Dream On. I wanted to include a picture of Dream On by itself, but the formula was hard to work with for me and it looked a little weird =P Maybe I need to have a steadier hand.

China Glaze Crackle Glaze Metals - Cracked Medallion

I have another CG Metal Crackle to show you all today! I used Cracked Medallion over Color Club in Modern Pink. I also love this combo. I really enjoyed all the crackles from this collection. I'll be posting them throughout the week. I'll just cut straight to the photos =]

China Glaze Crackle Glaze Metals - Tarnished Gold

So as you ladies saw yesterday, I picked up all 6 of the new China Glaze Crackle Glaze Metals. Today I'm showing Tarnished Gold over China Glaze Rose Among Thorns (neon). I loved the formula and the color SO much better than the Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Tarnished Gold that I picked up a few months ago. You can see my post of that here. That one had a faded gold color and barely cracked. O.P.I. has also released a gold shatter, which I'll probably get in the next couple of weeks. Hope you like this one as much as I do!
