Officially described as an "iceberg linear holographic jelly," the color is a light, translucent blue-grey that reads as a cadet grey on me in ambient light, with more of the blue coming out in the sun. Superfine holographic pigment glistens in pale gold as light hits it, nuances the base with translucent hues of violet and cloudy azure and adorns the finish with a shimmering, mobile prismatic sheen of violet, azure, green and gold in ambient light. In the sun there's a linear prismatic flare predominated by shades of blue edged by bright sparks of spring green and orange.
Application was wonderful. The consistency of Ice Ice Maybe is fluid, light and incredibly smooth with a medium consistency and an effortless, buttery, self-leveling slip over the nail. Pigmentation is sheer but built to fully opaque coverage on me in three coats. Cleanup is easy. Ice Ice Maybe dries naturally in very good time to a beautiful glossy finish. Topcoat does not inhibit the holographic properties of the polish in any way.

With its exceptionally sleek, glossy finish, Ice Ice Maybe actually looks slippery! The translucent color has a smooth, creamy, silvery quality with a vitreous dimensionality that reminds me of freshly resurfaced ice at an ice skating rink. Zamboni ho! It's beautifully suited to the season, and the blue-grey makes for an eminently wearable neutral. I particularly like the way it looks with violet, purples and dark blues, which seem to pull out the holographically-generated nuances, giving it a subtle but dreamy complexity that is deeply cool.
I like it. I like it very much!
