First, I want to show off this adorable cosmetic bag. It's fairly large so you can fit A LOT of makeup in it and the inside has a protective lining. I like that the bottom has a zipper to either expand them bag OR to zip up your makeup brushes. Isn't that genius? This cosmetics bag retails for $5.92.

Bronze Champion: 2 coats. I LOVE this color. It's a gorgeous bronze metallic polish without the brushstrokes. There's an addition of gold and pink shimmer and it's just really pretty. It's going to be a gorgeous base for autumn manicures. I know I'll be reaching for it.

A Mermaid's Tale: 2 coats. This is a mermaid blue teal metallic polish. It is the perfect mermaid blue color. You want to do as few strokes as possible, as you can see that it can be a bit streaky. It's completely opaque in two coats.

Lace Me Up: 1 coat over A Mermaid's Tale. This is a black and pink matte glitter topper. I like the hot pink against the blue base. I feel ready for the 80s with this combo of colors! It basically would look awesome over any color and it's great for Valentine's Day.

Crush on Hot Pink: 2 coats but minor VNL, so 3 coats for photos. This is an uber girly bright pink with hot pink and violet shimmer. It's almost neon it's so bright! It's another Valentine's Day polish!

Crush on Pink: 2 coats. This color is like Bronze Champion and it has a beautiful gold shimmer in the metallic. I love that it's not brush strokey either. I just adore this color. I need to do a gradient with Bronze Champion and this color.

These are really pretty. I hope they fixed the formula. When they first moved over to these bottles, the formulas were thick and awful and dried up super quick.
ReplyDeleteWell the formulas on these were great--mostly 2 coats. I can't speak for longevity because I've only had them a couple of weeks but I'll definitely keep my eye on them and update the post if needed!
DeleteThese are great! I love Hard Candy!
ReplyDeleteThey have a lot of variety for a great price!
DeleteThat teal is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a perfect mermaid color!
DeleteI used to love hard candy so much but nearly all of mine have completely dried up. :(
ReplyDeleteIs it in these types of bottles or the old ones? Obviously the old ones are probably due to age, but maybe there's an issue? I'll keep my eye on these!
DeleteI love Hard Candy's duochrome microflakes!
ReplyDeleteBronze Champion is awesome. Can't believe a polish at Walmart can be so gorgeous
DeleteSo much nostalgia with Hard Candy. :-)I really like A Mermaid's Tale. :-)
ReplyDeleteI may still have a ring or two from the older bottles haha
DeleteHaha I hear that a lot from people overseas. They are definitely fun for nail polish!
ReplyDeleteI remember when Black Tie Optional first came out and everyone was freaking out over it. It's as pretty as I remember it.
ReplyDeleteCrush on Hot Pink is soo pretty
ReplyDeleteSo cute, I haven't seen these yet! Beautiful swatches!
