I need some help with this description

I hope it's OK for me to post this here to ask for help: I need help writing this character description. I'm struggling with the flow of last few sentences of this paragraph. Thank you in advance

Which works better:

Sample 1:

Vanessa stood wearing a deep purple cardigan and a tight black pencil skirt similar to mine. Yet somehow the “trying too hard look” worked just fine for her. She was easily the most striking person in the room with her porcelain skin and long raven hair so glassy it didn't look real. It reminded me of black ice. Come to think of it, everything about Vanessa was like black ice. She was slick and deceptive.

OR do I not need to mention the slick and deceptive part at all? Is that implied?

Awesome! Thank you, Marissa D
