Pure Ice Peony and Free Spirit

So, I was strolling through Walmart the other day and came across a display of Pure Ice polishes. Of course, it had been pretty thoroughly picked through, but two did catch my eye. Retail price was $1.97 cdn.

PEONY is a bright pink frost with subtle shimmer. On the verge of being neon, but not quite. Formula is a bit thick but very manageable. Dries quickly, but dulls down. Photos are two coats with top coat. I was left with a bit of brush stroke.

FREE SPIRIT is a bright medium green creme with subtle shimmer. I think this falls in the neon category, personally. Formula on this is thin. Wasn't difficult to apply, but three coats were needed. A bit streaky but that was corrected by the third coat. Again, this dried quickly but to a dull finish. Pics are with top coat. One of those annoying to capture colours. These were the most accurate.

I would say for the price that these were a score. I'll definitely use them again. Now I know to keep my eye out when I am in Walmart to see if they ever restock their display! So, have you tried this brand? Thoughts? It's my first time with this brand. Thanks for having a look. Hope to see you back soon!

  2. Great colours. I might buy the Peony just because I love peonies, they are also most in bloom:)
