Don't You Wish
This color, Don't You wish, is a nice fine glitter polish that is amazing. The glitter colors only range from orange to blue, but it's a nice summery sort or palette reminiscent or ice cubes in lemonade and sparkling swimming pools. It's also a much easier glitter polish to remove than most because the glitter is small enough that it isn't stubborn and doesn't damage your nails.
Pearly
That would be the only way to describe this color. It's definitely not opaque, usually needing up to three coats to get full coverage and way too streaky on application for a topcoat for other polishes, but I used it as the based of a halloween themed manicure a year or two back and it looked amazing for portraying teeth with a french tip style blood drip.
Good Background
Most Pure Ice polishes are on the thinner side, which is why I like them so much, but that also means most of them are translucent with one coat. Not this one. Just one thin coat was enough for full coverage for me and it's a perfect brightening background for just that reason, if you don't want to cake nail polish on your nails and you're not into have bright silver nails.
Stains
I have the colors Big Daddy and Innocent, which are a fall orange-red and a spring sort of yellow green and they definitely stain very badly if you're not careful, even through base coats. Despite that, they're pleasing colors that go on smoothly, but require more coats to be completely opaque since they have a thinner formula. That works well for more complicated nail designs, though, because it also means the drying time is a bit longer and they're more malleable as they dry.
Beautiful, but hard to get off.
This polish has a beautiful glow, combining tiny pink tinted flecks with varied sizes of silver holo-glitter in a clear base. It looks amazing as a full polish with two or three coats and even better as a single overcoat for something else (I'm wearing it on my thumb in the picture with this as an overcoat to Hits Speciallita's Zeus from the No Olimpo collection).
The only downside is that it's a very difficult and even somewhat damaging nailpolish to remove, which can make it a hard decision for whether or not it's worth it for such beauty. The first time I ever removed this from my nails -- even as an overcoat to something else -- the glitter almost refused to come off, in a way more difficult than most other glitter polishes I've used. If you do wear this one, I recommend removing it by soaking your nails in remover and using something sturdier like actual cloth to get all the glitter off.

One coat, solid coverage for weeks.
I needed a color like this, a nice bright but true green, and was so glad to find they had the perfect one in stock for the china glaze selection at the local Sally's. I've heard so many good things about china glaze and wanted to get some, anyway, so it was perfect especially considering how amazing this is. I brushed just one coat onto my toenails and have literally been wearing it for almost two weeks and it's barely chipping on just one big toe, which is a major concern for me because I'm very prone to having nail polish chip. But my first ever china glaze product, no base coat, no top coat, one layer, AND on my toenails and I'm sold because it's still on.
