Hard Candy Gummy Green Swatch And Review (Over Wet 'n' Wild I Need A Refresh-Mint)

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?
