New Nail Polish Colors from Icing

Icing Grape A licious nail polish

Purple nail polish with pink and blue glitter

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. 

Icing Pink Sparkle nail polish swatch

Neon Pink Holo nail polish

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.

Icing Sour Apple nail polish swatch

Apple Green Nail Polish with Gold Shimmer

Sour Apple, a semi sheer apple green with gold shimmer. Three or four coats to achieve bottle color.

Iciing Hazelnut Nail Polish Swatch

Hazelnut, a rich and fabulous hazelnut brown with shimmer. 

Icing Lily Lilac nail polish swatch 

Lily, a gorgeous lilac purple creme. OPI's Done out in Deco is a close dupe. 

Icing Ice Queen Nail Polish Swatch

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.

Gray Nail Polish Comparisons

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!

Pretty!! How does Grape A Licious compare to Flying Dragon, do you think

Lucy said, on Jun 23rd, 2009 5:15 am Reply
These are really some beautiful polishes. I've never used this brand. I like Ice Queen and thanks for the comparison.

I really want Ice Queen and Grape A Licious - never seen Icing here in New Zealand :(

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 :)

I have dressmaker, but I will definitely be running out and grabbing Teddy Bare! Great post!

Sasha said, on Sep 1st, 2010 10:16 am regarding Avon Deluxe Chocolate and Wicked for Fall
I tried Deluxe Chocolate last week and loved it! Wicked will be my next mani. And I've been thinking about ordering the new Fall rose shades, but they don't seem very fall to me.... so I haven't decided yet.

Those are great dupes! I've always had good results from Milani, so I think I'll be looking for Dressmaker. I don't own any Chanel, and don't expect to either.

Wow, I will agree with the others, Avon is bumping it up a notch... Thanks for the swatches Steph, they both look great on you!

I've never tried Milani, but I'm adoring Dressmaker. I think I need go to find a Milani retailer! :D Thanks!!

STEPH, can I tell you how much I missed your blogging!!!! For real, I am so HAPPY you're blogging again you totally made my day with this post!! and OMG everyone make sure you check out the Photo Gallery, I can't believe i never knew about it!!

Regina said, on Sep 1st, 2010 4:22 am regarding Splurge vs Steal: Chanel and Milani
Great post! It's very helpful. I already have the Jordana (which is the same as the Milani Dressmaker) so I don't need the Chanel which is impossible to get a hand on. Thank you so much for this comparison!
