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!

  1. 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!

  18. 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!

  26. 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?

  27. Hi <3
    All you nail-bloggers have inspired me, so I have opened a nail-blog too! It would mean a lot to me if you take a look (And leave a comment even if my blog is on norwegian) <3 Big hugs from Thea (PS: Sry my bad english!)

  31. 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!

  32. 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*

  33. I love it! I'm going to have to hunt Heartbreaker down now.

    Megan, mine is usually too, I was so happy to see it cleaned and re-stocked!

    jamiesaur, thank you! in my FAQ tab, I do my best to explain how I polish my nails :P

    lnievin, OMG, you did amazing!!! I love days like that, but it seems like my stores never have good deals :( I hope you love Calypso Blue!!

  36. 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!!!
