Pure Ice - Free Spirit

Hey dear readers! As you may notice I've changed a few things about my blog. The colours are turned down to grey and white and I got new icons. I've also changed the header and my watermark. It's a great thing how creative you get when not being able to sleep! ;)

Today I want to show you Free Spirit, a polish I received in a swap. It isn't available in the Netherlands but I've seen some great shades so if you can arrange some in a swap, do!

Pure Ice Free Spirit

Free Spirit in sunlight, three coats

Free Spirit is a really bright green with green shimmer in it. The shimmer isn't that apparent but it's definitely a nice detail in a polish like this. Funny thing: there is another Free Spirit! It's a minty green. I really wonder why brands name polishes the same. As far as the application, it was a little streaky and thick but with the third coat it was all evened out. Drying time was pretty fast.

I'm bummed out we don't have these here in the Netherlands. I want moaaaar!

    Looks great on you! Love your new blog look and I agree about the lack of sleep...that and boredom make my blog look different. ;)

  8. I've tried quite a few Pure Ice polishes (I live in the U.S.), and I've had a very good experience! They do have a very wide range of colors. The only problem I've had was with a neon lime green--even with base coat, it stained my fingernails, and there was nothing I could do until they grew out!

    That's weird, my version of Free Spirit is a more dusty subdued green (like Eyeko vintage polish) and has no shimmer. I guess they have two versions - which is nothing new from Pure Ice! Lokks good on you!
