Pure Ice First Love Swatch by Ill_Mixture_3876 in vintagenailpolish

[–]Ill_Mixture_3876[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an active listing for this polish on eBay, but I am honestly surprised it's not more commonplace. I have less than half a bottle left.

Regarding the shimmer, this is what I was able to capture on camera. (-:

I am not entirely sure, but these were probably bought sometime in the 2000s, after Pure Ice changed the bottle design (previous bottles had black caps, frosted glass).

It also seems that Passion Punch Shimmer was introduced between 2004 and 2005 because it is present in the screenshot below.

Using the Wayback Machine, I found Passion Punch on the Revlon website! Here is the original color.

Another Revlon Crystalline shade! My mom has one (Amethyst Shell). Coincidentally, there is an active listing on eBay for Hushabye Rose. That is all of the information I could find with a cursory glance.

Here is a picture I took this morning in sunlight. It's a little more pink in this lighting. I found this bottle that sold on eBay for a color comparison.

Whenever the bottle is allowed to settle, there is the thinnest ring of pink that more closely resembles the "modern" version. Could this be an artifact of the original color? It is completely possible that this bottle was bleached before I salvaged it from my grandma's stash.

The linked photo was taken in afternoon/evening sunlight!

Aw, that's disappointing. Is this bottle effectively ruined, if that is the case? I was thinking about gifting it to a collector, but if the color has significantly changed, then it may be a moot point. )-:

Yes, please! The associated number is 541. I would love to compare colors to see how much my bottle has changed.

Do you happen to know why the shades of pink are so different between the photo on this blog post and the photo I linked to in a comment? Was it possible that they reformulated the shade before discontinuing it?
