I have seen this polish before in Walmart but did not get it because I didn't know how to really use this color or how it would look over other colors. However, today I was walking around Dollar General and I saw this color again and instantly thought, this would be nice over my China Glaze Platinum Silver so I purchased it. I read the two reviews on here about there not being enough of the dark glitter on the brush and I have to agree and disagree. If you are following the three stroke rule for nail polish then you may not get more than one or two pieces of the darker glitter on your nail. However, as someone who uses Deborah Lippmann glitter nail polish I know there is a certain style you have to use to achieve the look you want. I took my time and applied this polish twice over the Platinum Silver and I was able to apply 13 darker glitter pieces per nail. Precision and patience is your best friend here. It really does look gorgeous and I am glad I finally purchased. I can't wait to see what this looks like over black, where the three stroke rule would apply because you want more of the lighter glitter than dark. Highly recommend for those who understand the art of applying a polish like this but look elsewhere if patience is not a virtue you possess and would rather use the three swipe rule and not work to achieve the look you want. 5 stars all the way from me and I will be buying another bottle to stash away.

Based off the picture, you would think this polish would be super densely packed with glitter, and when you look at it in real life it does look like that. However it is more so watery and the glitter does not go on the nail very well, and those hexagonal blue pieces? Forget it. 2 coats later and I have a total of 13 pieces on my nails. So if you like super glittery polish, I'd say keep looking. However you can't beat the price if you just want a slightly glimmery polish, also would make a nice twinkly topcoat

Although it looks like there is lots of dark glitter in the bottle, when you paint your nails you may only get one piece of dark glitter per coat...sometimes none. I put 6 coats on and on some nails only had 2 pieces of dark glitter.

Honest reviews on Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Color, Ice Queen, 0.45 Fluid Ounce

Less than 12 hours with my 3 coats PLUS a top coat, and 6/10 fingernails are already completely chipped. Wtf. Srsly. It was *already* disappointing as I was putting it on and it was watery and crappy with little to no big pieces of glitter, but this chipping is the absolute last straw. Even if I could find a friend dumb enough to take this nail polish from me, I wouldn't do that to her. Maybe there's an enemy I can surreptitiously foist it off onto. Sally, you're on my sh*+ list.
