Hi everyone! Today I bring you my new favorite flashy combination (I swear I have a new one every week)! I have been trying to figure out ways to use up my Hard Candy Sweet P because it is a layering polish and I felt like I didn't have any colors that go with it very well. That was not the case! This is Hard Candy Sweet P over OPI Black Onyx (how dumb am I for it to take me this long to see that green goes with black?), and it looks even better in real life than it does in the picture! IRL, it *almost* has a duochrome effect with the glitter, and it looks so flashy! I have fallen in complete love with this combination, do you love it too?

Hard Candy Sweet P
Hi everyone! Today's post is Hard Candy Sweet P, which I picked up from Walmart awhile back for about $5. I wanted a nice sparkly lime green so I picked up this one.
It wasn't as pigmented as I wanted, the picture above is two coats. This is really more of a layering polish for over medium to light greens. I don't think that I would buy this ever again if I ever even finish it. It dries well but as it is a glitter; it is a pain to take off. Like a really big pain. Overall if you love greens and wear them a lot this would be a great addition to your collection; but otherwise I would pass on it.

Hard Candy Hot Pants
Hi everyone! Today I am reviewing one of my favorite glitters, Hard Candy Hot Pants! It is a purple based jelly packed with big hexagonal glitters and smaller glitters. The glitter is very rainbowy and I love wearing this polish! I really only wear it over darker colors as the jelly base is very dark and can distort a lighter color. The only complaint that I have about this polish is that it is very difficult to remove, but other than that I will buy this over and over again!

NOTD: Metallic Stars
Hello everyone! Today I am bringing you a mani similar to one that I have done in the past. I decided instead of a frosty background that I wanted a metallic background, so I went with China Glaze Harmony (from the Romantiques Collection) and I topped the polish with Hard Candy Hot Pants. I love this combination, I think that it looks fantastic! Do you like it too?

NOTD: Lime Green Sparkles!
Hi everyone! Today I decided to do something refreshing, and I thought that lime green would be a great choice! It makes me long for the warmth of summer!
I used OPI Green-wich Village and Hard Candy Sweet P over it. I love how it turned out, it is so fun! I have been getting slightly sick of dark color after dark color, and my nails are SO yellow because of it! Are you starting to get sick of dark colors too?

NOTD: Violet Space
Hey everyone! Today's post is a continuation of the combination that I posted the day before yesterday. This picture captures the color a lot better, it is Sinful Colors Fiji over OPI Lincoln Park After Dark. I couldn't believe what a response there was to that combination, I was so shocked to have over 10 comments when I checked back later! I usually get 4-6 comments lol.
I added Hard Candy Hot Pants to the mani and I love it even more! My boyfriend commented that it looked like space, and I am inclined to agree. Who can deny the sparkly goodness? I know that I can't!
