Gosh Vanilla ice is a super sheer pearly white polish. I really mean it when I say this is sheer! I have on 4 coats here and it's a struggle to see anything going on. This would have been a staple polish for me if it was more opaque. I love the way it looks in the bottle but it only really shows up when you layer it. Not something I do often.
Aside from it being really sheer, the formula on Vanilla ice was ok. It was easy to paint on without much mess around the nail as it has a long, thin brush but it dries pretty slow. This could be down to the amount of layers I had to use but you never know. It might be a nice topper but you'd probably need a quick dry topcoat to go along with it.

The effect is pretty awesome. But I don't often do layering because of time constraints.
ReplyDeleteYeh I love the look of it but I'm never going to repeat this manicure. It's not worth the time
DeleteThis is a nice day time option!
ReplyDeletethat's true! Shame it takes so many layers
DeleteI love polishes like this for layering, I can't abide my nail line showing through! I bet this would look brilliant over a dark blue or a dark green. x
ReplyDeleteI know, visible nail line is the bane of my life. Cannot stand to have it showing :P Ohh I'll have to try it over a dark blue x
DeleteWow, 4 coats.. huh. Not really something I'd be dying to wear, but I suppose it does look kinda elegant and workplace appropriate (if one is working in such a place that wouldn't really allow "wild"(-er) manicures, but a girl still needs her nails painted, right? :D).
ReplyDeletehaha true that!! I completely agree though I would still sooner wear a nude or toned down polish than just this on its own.
