Try as I might, I could not resist picking up more than one polish from the new Hard Candy display. The other night, I showed you Crush On Tin, and tonight I have a cream glitter called Gummy Green. This is in line with the new trend of black glitters suspended in cream bases, except it's a bit more distinctive with its contrasting silver glitters. The base is a milky light green crelly, and I found the formula to be really nice. There was no pooling or uneven glitter spread upon application, and I used only 1 coat over Wet 'n' Wild I need A Refresh-mint. Two coats probably would have worked fine and would give the mani a little more depth. I used a layer of SH Insta Dri to add some smoothness to the mani.

As a bonus, I have pics of Wet 'n' Wild I need A Refresh-mint by itself. This is two coats followed with a layer of topcoat. I found the formula to be really great for a cheapie drugstore brand. There was no streaking or pooling and the polish self leveled itself really well.

I really love both looks, and will probably try Gummy Green on its own sometime. I really didn't want to pick up a creamy black speckled glitter, but for $3.99, how could I not, especially in comparison to the new Deborah Lippmanns and Illamasquas that look similar. Have you tried any of the speckled creams yet?
This is cool!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a polish I didn't used yet. ^_^
I think I know which one, from the Korean haul, yes? I would love to see it!
