Funky Fingers Olaf & Pure Ice Hit the Floor

Thanks to some lovely blogs, I discovered 5 Below carries some awesome polishes... never knew!

I bought a whole bunch and the first I tried out is this lovely white/holographic glitter from their Frostbitten (aka 'Frozen') collection. This polish is named Olaf. : )
The glitter went on easily and dried very smooth, didn't take very long to dry either! The white snowflakes in the polish will take some work to get out of the bottle, but I was fine with just the white hexes and holo glitter over the red. Gives off a bit of a candy cane vibe... Either way, it's a great polish to liven up some polish you've already been wearing for a day or too like I had been with Pure Ice Hit the Floor.

Pure Ice Hit the Floor

This beauty is Pure Ice Hit the Floor, it's only a couple dollars at WalMart- which is awesome! Yay for pretty colors at low prices!
I used two coats then topped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri. The first coat went on easily, it seemed my bottle started getting goopy when applying the second though. Good thing I'm expecting some thinner any day now!

This looks very similar to China Glaze Ruby Pumps. I don't own Ruby Pumps, but this looks darn near identical. A perfect red with small red glitter... I don't know if I've ever actually worn red before, the reds always seemed flashy and too lady-like? But I love this one, it's a deep, rich red and the sparkle is fun. It's also the only polish I own that my bf really loves... so instead of a special song, we have a special polish? lol I'm ok with that.

This photo shows how deep the red really is...

Outside in bright light...

Pure Ice Laven-Dare

Here's a quick swatch of Pure Ice Laven-dare. It's a great color, it's a little bit more lilac than the photo shows, but it definitely rides the line between grey and lilac/light blue.
The formula wasn't terrible to use, this is two coats I think. I didn't make notes when I swatched, but that looks like a layer of LA Girl Burst glitter on my ring finger... one of my favorite glitter toppers.

Essence Oh My Glitter! & Pure Ice Don't You Wish

I picked up this lovely purple at Ulta a while ago, I had never heard of Essence polish before. This is Oh My Glitter!, but it doesn't really feature glitter so much as a pretty pink shimmer. The brush is huge, but works really well with my nail shape.
I used two coats, then a layer of Pure Ice Don't You Wish for the blue shimmer. The blue adds a touch more umph, while not overtaking the beautiful color. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri sealed everything in with a nice gloss.
I want to get some more Essence colors, I just wish they came in larger bottles! I want MOAR!
