Hard Candy Launches 45 New Polishes

Word spread early this year that Hard Candy was pulling all their nail polish with a "to be announced" collection. It's now May and I'm STILL waiting for my Wal-Mart to get with the program, but all over America, other Wal-Marts have been receiving the new 45 shades of nail polish by Hard Candy.

Five new collections - nine shades in each.

Crushed Chrome Collection. 

Luxurious and timeless hues embellished with a golden textured finish. This collection boasts refinement and sophistication and is infused with a vivacious luster. 

Itsy Glitzy Collection.
Intense, illuminating, and incandescent hues saturated with the richest and most extreme mica and glitter. Inspired from the runway and now at your fingertips. 

Crystal Confetti Collection.
A unique collection based on artistic expression. Flourishing, adventurous, full coverage shades with various particle sizes and creative textures. Graffiti is revolutionary; it's an outlet to create public art. Now take this artistic and creative expression to your nails.

Candy Sprinkles Collection.
Suspended in a clear top coat, shimmery flecks sparkle brilliantly with different shapes of shiny glitter. Candy Sprinkles is a fabulous top coat over any color. 

Glitteratzi Collection.
The combination of confident opposites and intimate tonalities mixed with the right amount of sparkle creates enthusiasm for the vitality of life. The hues are natural and are becoming more evolved and colored. Tasteful tones with all the personality to satisfy every trend setter.

Each polish is only $3.97 so it's super easy to start your own Hard Candy collection! 

Now, I've heard that you can purchase the polishes from Wal-Mart's website but the one nail fanatic that I saw did so, had them arrive broken and just wrapped in a plastic bag (no bubble wrap), so I can't in good faith recommend that route.

The Hard Candy collection is exclusively available at Walmart and on walmart.com.  In addition to the cosmetics brand Hard Candy now offers customers a line of apparel and eyeglass frames.  The brand can be found on Facebook @Hard Candy; Twitter @HeresHardCandy; Pinterest @ItsHardCandy and on Instagram @HardCandyLife. 

Hard Candy Sky

Following the blogger buzz over Chanel Riva and how Hard Candy Sky was its dupe, I went in searching for my $4 Hard Candy at my local Wal-Mart and found several bottles.  Now, I do not own, nor do I wish to spend $20 on a bottle of Chanel again, so please check out Vampy Varnish for a comparison post for this one.  Hard Candy Sky is a light blue base with blue shimmer.  I actually had a color like this when I was about 16, but I don't remember the brand or name of the polish - I just know it was a drugstore brand.

I had to say, I found this formula to be a little thick and streaky at the same time - almost chalky.  Nor my favorite, but it worked.  I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Sky and a top of Seche Vite.  I'm still dying with grey skies.  :[

On some nails, you can see the streakiness of this polish poking through and giving me VNL, and on other pictures you can see the blue shimmer.  It's subtle, but it's there.

Hard Candy can be found in drugstores for $4 a bottle.  You can Like them on Facebook and Follow them on Twitter.
