Hard Candy Crushed Chromes in Amethyst, Lava, and Raisin

How was your weekend lovelies?  I hope you were able to get some fun and rest.  I caught up on some of my shows and took quite a few naps with LO.

I have the rest of the Hard Candy polishes that I picked up while I was in NC, and looking at them, it looks like I really liked the Crushed Chromes collection.  I also picked up Black Tie Optional but it's not swatched here.  I'll save that for a later time.   Meanwhile, check out Crush on Tin, the first Crushed Chrome I tried.  

First I have Crushed Amethyst, a violet foil with silver flecks.  It was super easy to apply and two coat was enough for opacity.  No topcoat in these pictures.

Next I have Crush On Lava, which I think is the star of all the Crushed Chromes, if not all of the Hard Candies that were released.  It's a stunning duochrome foil that shifts from orange to red to purple in the right light.  I think that MAC Bad Fairy or Accessorize Pink Spice might be close dupes, but this is much easier to find and cheaper too.  Two easy coats for this as well, no topcoat.

Lastly I have Crushed On Raisin, a pretty pink foil with gold flecks.  I really liked this one, surprisingly, but then again, I really love pink and gold together.  Formula and application were similar to the others, two coats and no topcoat.

I loved the easy application of these considering they were foil like.  There were no brush strokes visible once dry and the polishes weren't thick and self leveled really well.  Next time I wear these, I want to matte them out.  My favorite is a tie between Crush On Tin and Crush On Lava, followed by Crush on Raisin. Are you impressed with these as much as I am?
