Heart Breaker......a name that says it all

I love trying different layering combos, and Pure Ice polish, is great for this. I get mine from Wal-mart for $2 a bottle. They have some great colors, and although most are pretty sheer, they work great for layering. I had heard about Pure Ice Heart Breaker on MUA, but my Wal-mart never had it in stock. Well, Jack and I had to go there on Sunday to get some odds and ends, and I was so giddy to see they had completely re-stocked and cleaned up the Pure Ice display, and there was Heart Breaker. Whoo hoo! As soon as I got home, I had to do a mani with it, and decided to use a new China Glaze I purchased off of eBay recently called Calypso Blue. Which I might add, is beyond one of the most beautiful blues I own!

Here is 2 coats of Calypso Blue on it's own



Then I added 1 coat of Heart Breaker. It is just so pretty, and I can't wait to try it over a purple!

    Wow that's gorgeous! I never bought Pure Ice because I wasn't sure about the quality and they looked sheer, but I'm going to have to give them a try!

    Wow, that is stunning! I also have heartbreaker and my results with it were horrible. I might just try it over a similar base and see what happens.

    Pure Ice is great for layering. Love this combo. I have layered Heartbreaker with Orly Charged Up (purple) and it is another great combo.

    Kay, now I need this one. I have Pure Ice Busted, which is gorgeous over a purple creme. This is the blue version of that awesomeness.

    I was really wanting to add China Glaze's First Mate to my collection for a nice dark blue until I saw the Calypso Blue--WOW that color is gorgeous! I planned on a trip to Walgreen's today for a couple of polishes but instead I might make the trek to Walmart so I can check out the Pure Ice too!

    You paint your nails so perfectly! I recently painted my nails in China Glaze's Happy Go Lucky and the cuticles are just not painted evenly and pretty. Is there a trick you do?

    Erika I went to Walgreen's today because they had 5 12pk's of coke products for only $13 and in the process I got 12 nail polishes for $16! yes $16 bucks for 12 polishes! I picked up the Heart Breaker--they had a HUGE pure ice display so I got a few more of those as well. They also had Wet-n-Wild on sale for 69 cents and I got what I think looks like Deborah Lippmann dupes for Happy Birthday and Bad Romance--so I saved myself big bucks! Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear was 2 for $4 so really I got deals galore on polish and soda today woot! BTW I ordered Calypso Blue on ebayy when I came home lol!

    This looks great! My local Walmart's beauty section ALWAYS looks trashed and all the nail polish looks like it's been tried before. :( I'll have to check out Walgreens. *crosses fingers*

    I have this color and when I first bought it I had not realized how sheer it was! I was really disappointed until I layered it over black and I was AMAZED!!!!! It is such a gorgeous duo-chrome green and blue I love it!!!
