Sunday, June 21st, 2009 New Nail Polish Colors from Icing
Happy Father's Day everyone! Hope you had a wonderful day. Today I'm bringing you some new Icing nail polish colors as promised. Besides the funky brush, these all are pretty fabulous shades. Check out all the swatches below.
Grape A Licious, a vibrant purple grape loaded with chunky pink and blue glitter. This one is pretty opaque, you'll only need two coats.
Pink Sparkle, a neon pink with holographic glitter. I haven't check out my comparisons yet, but I'm thinking this is exactly the same as Claire's Lulu Belle.
Sour Apple, a semi sheer apple green with gold shimmer. Three or four coats to achieve bottle color.
Hazelnut, a rich and fabulous hazelnut brown with shimmer.
Lily, a gorgeous lilac purple creme. OPI's Done out in Deco is a close dupe.
Ice Queen is a much deeper shade from most gray's I own, but with an added tinge of blue undertones that makes this one special.
I really thought Recycle and Kiss me Here were going to closer dupes, but as you can see, Ice Queen is much darker with some added stormy blue undertones. Really love this.
Have a wonderful night and Monday morning!

These are really some beautiful polishes. I've never used this brand. I like Ice Queen and thanks for the comparison.

Hazelnut looks like that newer MAC color. Are they close? Which would you recommend?

That purple with the chunky glitter looks like a party on your nails! Where can you buy Icing nail polish? I'm in Canada and I've never seen this brand

Thanks so much Tiff! Grape A licious is certainly special! :)
Hi Tami,
I sure will, I should have up in a couple of day in this post! :) MAC's Mercenary has more gold shimmer compared to Hazelnut.
Hi Mariah,
Dragon Fly is a deeper purple and Grape a Licious sways more towards violet, both are very pretty though. Dragon fly is a bit more gritty too :)
Hi Lucy,
You should definitely try Icing colors, I really love them, minus the brush defects sometimes! But, I'll deal :D
Hi Selina,
Not sure if they are in New Zealand? In the States, their usually found in Malls... :(
Hi Shayna,
Hazelnut is much more deeper brown, as is MAC's Mercenary has more goldish tones. I'm hoping to do a comparison real soon :)
Hi Atomica,
I love the purple! Not sure if they have Icing stores in Canada, but if they do you can find them in Mall's :)
