I've got a cool polish duo for you today that I was sent to review! It's a polish + crackle duo from Pure Ice called Pure Ice Lightning Crackle Duo!
First up is the base polish, a lovely, but unnamed, green duochrome/metallic!
I was really surprised with the formula of Pure Ice, which I hadn't tried before. Sometimes the cheaper drug store brand polishes have crap formulas, but this one was actually good! It went on opaque in two coats (but I used three for pictures), and was actually very pretty. I love the dark green and it's got an ever-so-slight duochrome to it and sometimes looks quite teal. Overall, very pretty!
On top I layered the lightning crackle:
This polish cracked quite easily, but I wish that it cracked...larger cracks so you could see the green a little more! I think the silver kind of overpowers the pretty green! Maybe thinner coats could correct this problem, though, it'd been a while since I used a crackle polish!
However, I really do like the look of silver crackle. I never received the OPI Silver Shatter that I won in someone's giveaway (bummer!), so I was kind of psyched to try this. I think it'd look great over other colors as well!
Have you guys tried any of the Pure Ice polish duos? I haven't seen them in stores, but then again, I haven't been in Walmart for a while--and to my knowledge, that's the only place they sell Pure Ice! Correct me if I'm wrong, though, ladies :)
Hope you enjoyed!
