SORRY…THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED AND WINNERS RECEIVED THEIR PRIZES. BUT DON’T WORRY…MORE GREAT GIVEAWAYS ARE IN THE WORKS!
I wanted to show some love to my readers this Valentine’s Day. After all, what’s a blog without people reading it!? (answer: a diary) So I was super stoked when two of my big-name, blogger crushes, Victoria from the manicurator, and Jess from Love for Lacquer, asked me to participate. Why they’d want to join up with li’l ole’ me, I’m not sure. It doesn’t matter…I’m excited about it! There are three awesome prizes up for grabs, including the full Zoya Pixie Dust Collection! Enter now through Valentine’s Day!

Hi all. I’m still getting back into the groove. I was snowed in yesterday (which is heaven to a very part-time nail blogger). I’m always in such a rush. Today I have some info about an awesome sweepstakes at BigDaddyBeauty.com. Keep reading to the end of the post for details on how to enter! For now…here’s today’s simple mani.

Last night I posted the fifth and final set of Pure Ice Holiday 2012 Collection Swatches. Doing simple nail art is my first mani-love…but this week has been a nice change of pace. It doesn’t hurt that the colors are fun, the formulas are great and the price is right. For under $2 each, the hard part is just finding them in stock. So here’s a roundup of all 30 polishes swatched over this last week. Don’t forget, one winner will get them ALL and then some. So keep reading after the gallery!

It’s finally arrived…the last day of Pure Ice week. I hope this was helpful to someone out there in internet-land! It was fun to test out all these polishes – but a lot of work. I miss my nail art! Don’t forget to enter the giveaway for the ENTIRE Pure Ice Holiday 2012 Collection. Not only will you win every single polish swatched this week (30)..but six more beauties that I picked up yesterday to round out the set! So here are the last six swatches…
Silver Mercedes:
This metallic silver polish has a thick and smooth formula. It reminds me of the China Glaze Magnetix formula (which I love). This one is definitely a one-coater! I bet this would make a great stamping polish. I’ll have to put that on my to-do list.

We’re on the homestretch! Today is Day 4 of Pure Ice week. Don’t forget that every single polish swatched this week will be gifted to one lucky winner in my current giveaway!! But guess what!?!? It gets even better! Hop on over to the initial contest post and see how the prize just got a little sweeter!!! Let’s jump right in and chat about six more polishes…
On His Saddle:
This one immediately made me think of the ocean. It’s a metallic-y dark turquoise blue. The formula was super creamy. You could almost get away with one coat.

It’s Day 3 and I have six more Pure Ice Holiday polishes to show you. Sorry if I sound like a broken record…but be sure to enter my current giveaway where you can win every single polish swatched this week! Before I delve into today’s reviews, I want to thank all of you who have sent emails or left comments about the disconnect between some of the polish names/colors shown on my blog and what is actually in stores and listed online. I see that Pure Ice has been regularly updating their website…so I’m confident we’ll figure it out eventually. But as I told one commenter earlier – the name doesn’t really matter anyway as long as it’s a pretty polish. Am I right? :) So here we go…
New Years Resolution:
I love this one. It’s a blue red crème base with small silver and fuschia glitters. Application was really nice considering all that glitter. The pictures don’t do this one justice. I’m wearing two coats. *Note the Pure Ice site describes this as a burgundy glitter. Again, I don’t know if I have a mislabeled bottle or if there are a few versions of this one floating around the interwebs. One reader bought two bottles of New Years Resolution from two different Walmarts and they didn’t match.
