♥ Hard Candy – Candy Sprinkles Swatches & Review.. PLUS a HUGE GIVEAWAY! ♥

Good morning lovely ladies! You are in for a treat today! First off, I received an amazing package from Hard Candy yesterday with their new polishes! I had to immediately swatch the Candy Sprinkles collection for you because I know that is what people are most looking forward to. I am missing 2 of them though (I went to my local Walmart and they didn’t have them out yet. Bummer!) but I think you’re going to LOVE the 7 I do have!

Oh! And stay tuned to the end of this post – Hard Candy has GENEROUSLY teamed up with me to do a very special giveaway! There will be TEN winners in total. Each winner will receive one of the new polish collections releasing soon!

Candy Sprinkles

Crushed Chromes
Crystal Confetti
Itsy Glitzy
Glitteratzi
Pretty awesome right? Don’t miss out! For now – let’s get into the Candy Sprinkles swatches!! 
Gummy Green – Pastel mint green with black & white speckled glitter. I absolutely LOVE this! I was able to get pretty decent coverage with this in just two coats. You could definitely go for one more if you wanted to and it would be perfect! 
Pixie Pink – Light pink / lavender base with teal, white and pink glitters. This reminds me of a sweet fairy! Photo below shows two coats. 
Cotton Candy Pink – A perfect name for this baby pink base with purple & white glitters! And now I’m craving sweets! Photo below shows two coats. 
Peach Pop – Coral orange base with red, yellow & orange glitters. Super cute and fun for Summer! Photo below shows two coats.
Pink Fairy – Bubblegum pink base with dark pink, black & white glitters. Another adorable name! Photo below shows two coats. 
Sugar Rush – White base with black & white glitters. Cookies & Cream anyone? This one was a bit sheerer than the others. I used two coats but you can clearly see a third one is necessary for it to become opaque. No biggie – It would look awesome over your favorite white polish! 
Sweet Tooth – Pale white base with light pink, blue & white glitters. Another that could have used a third coat. I actually prefer it with two.. It gives it a nice soft subtle look! 
Final thoughts on these? AMAZING. I had NO issues with application or getting the glitter out. They are slightly thick which is why I really thought they were going to be completely opaque on the first coat. I am so happy they are buildable so if you don’t want to top them over another polish, you don’t have to! VERY impressed by these! 
These should be hitting your local Walmart stores VERY soon and online at walmart.com & hardcandy.com within the next 2 weeks or so. For an affordable price of $3.97, you seriously cannot go wrong! Pick them up in every.single.color! 
Are you ready to enter the giveaway now? Rafflecopter will do all the work – Good luck everyone!! 
**There will be ten winners in total. Each winner will receive ONE of the collections listed above. This is open to US & Canada only. Sorry!**

    Crushed chromes are awesome but I’m I’m love with sweet tooth amd gummy green from sprinkles collection

  25. Cathy says

    I’m dying over the Candy Sprinkles — they’re pretty much all on my “to buy” list (except one I already own a similar polish to). Those would be my choice.

    Also, thanks for hosting this! I’ve been worrying over finding them in my town before everyone else gets to them!

  67. DanielleK says

    Honestly can’t decide which set!! I want them all. I’m a huge hard candy fan I have been busy stalking their makeup shelves for new products since I first heard about this release

  73. Sarah Nerd says

    All the sets look pretty awesome but I think I’d pick the Candy Sprinkles collection because I don’t have anything like this in my polish collection and that’s saying a lot because I have a huge polish collection!

  76. Red says

    I love all of them! Based on pictures at least, I have not been able to find the new products in my area just yet. Hopefully soon!

  100. Brody says

    I am lemming all of these, thank you for the giveaway! I like literally all of these at least a little but the Sprinkles are my fave, they’re gorgeous AND dupe some $9 Nails Incs!

  113. ReecesPeeces says

    I would be very pleased to have any of these since Hard Candy isn’t sold in Canada *shakes fist*

  163. Geena says

    It’s a toss up between Itsy Glitzy and Crushed Chrome! I think the formula would help me decide on which ones. Can’t wait to see swatches!!

  176. Unholy says

    Itzy Glitzy. I’m a hot pink addict, and I spy a hot pink in that collection that I HAVE to have lol!! Crushed chromes are gorgeous, Glitterazi is also gorgeous….aye yi yi. So hard to pick!!

  180. Supergimp says

    Glitteratzi looks awesome but sprinkles are so neat! The chromes are gorgeous too! Oh and I love the Glitzy. Favorite one? I can’t do it! Hope that doesn’t disqualify me!!

  198. Kiarapanther says

    Its so hard to pick but I’d probably wear more of the Crushed Chromes than any of the others (though I am definitely getting a couple from each collection)

  213. Anna says

    I am LOVING both the Candy Sprinkles and Itsy Glitzy collections! They’re gorgeous! Hard Candy has really stepped up their game with these new polishes!

  214. doofette says

    I would love to win the Candy Sprinkles collections. I think I might need to try some from each of the collections, hope my Walmart gets them fast!

  230. larryswife74 says

    OMG! I had no idea Hard Candy had all these beautiful polishes, the only place I could find them in my area was Wal-mart and they just stopped carrying them, so I’m really excited for a chance to win these! Thank you so much!!

  237. :) says

    At this point, I wouldn’t mind getting either! They’re all so pretty! But if I had to pick my favorite, it’d be Candy Sprinkles!! 😀

  238. Kelsie says

    I’m torn between the crushed chromes and itsy glitzy collections, and I don’t own any Hard Candy’s yet… amazing giveaway, thanks!! 🙂

  260. JenD says

    love Sweet Tooth, though i think I would end up picking something from the Itsy Glitzy collection that didn’t get swatched!

  270. Nicole W says

    I can’t choose between the Crushed Chrome and the Glitteratzi collections! Would love either. Thanks SO much to you and Hard Candy for the awesome giveaway! 🙂

  274. Elizabeth Bourn says

    I am loving them all!! I think I would like to have the Crushed Chrome first though…. 😉

  275. Anonymous says

    I Love Candy Sprinkles – gorgeous colors and they’re so unique and different!!!!! (Margaret Barnes)

  310. Melissa Benoit says

    I would be extremely happy to win ANY of these, but to choose just one, I have to say ITSY GLITZY!!!!! I bet they would look AMAZING on my summer tan skin!!!!! *Fingers-Crossed* Thanks, ~Melissa

  325. Deborah Chow says

    Oy vey. I want every single one with even a speck of glitter. If I had to choose one line, I guess I’d have to go with Candy Sprinkles because they’re so, so cutesy.

  335. Ariana says

    Candy sprinkles is the one I would love to win but honestly which ever one I would get I’d be so happy m proud to say Im a nail polish addict 🙂

  363. RaeLynn says

    I’d love to win the Crystal Confetti! So gorgeous! A lot original ones in there as well… Nothing you can really get elsewhere, which is AWESOME.

  367. pagg says

    This is such a fantastic giveaway. 10 winners, how awesome. I love all the sets but I would have to say that I would want to win either the crushed chromes or the candy sprinkles, they are equally gorgeous. Way to go Hard Candy and Love for Lacquer, you make a great team 🙂

    • pagg says

      Yep, after staring at the colors for a really long time, I would have to say Candy sprinkles are my top fav. 🙂

  378. Lorrie Solverson says

    Itsy Glitzy is beautiful … really, all of them are lovely. It is nice to see Hard Candy put out more high quality polishes. Matte-ly In Love is one of my go to top coats.

  380. Leah says

    At first I was mesmerized by the one on the end of the crushed chromes, but I realized it’s gotta be a repromote of Beetle which I already have. Pretty much any other of the crushed chromes would be gorgeous though!

  389. Heather S says

    I definitely have the Glitteratzi, Crystal Confetti, and Candy Sprinkles collections in my sights.

  399. Bevy48 says

    First of all I love them all, but of the ones pictured Pink Fairy is my favorite here. Thank you for the chance to win 🙂 Have a great day!!!

  403. marianne connors says

    There is no way i could just pick one! I am diggin all of em! But if i HAD to choose, probably the crushed chrome, as that style is what i am lacking the most in! This is an AWESOME giveaway!

  410. Melinda says

    I would sooo love to win 2 from the Candy Sprinkles collection! They did an amazing job on all of these!! Thanks for the giveaway and amazing swatches 🙂

    Melinda

  442. Sarah Clark says

    I would love to win Candy Sprinkles! 🙂 Hoping to pick some up at Walmart sometimes if I don’t win.

  459. Mina says

    awwww… thank you so much! I can’t really pick a favourite out of this collection! 🙂 And your swatches make me want it even more! hhaha

  499. Anonymous says

    It’s hard to choose, but love the look of the Crushed Chromes and Itsy Glitzy Collections. Looking forward to more swatches!

  500. mintchip says

    Thank you for the great swatches! I love all of the collections! I’m very curious to see what the Confetti polishes look like.

  532. Anonymous says

    I’m so glad Hard Candy brought back nail polishes! They did them so well the first time around.

  535. Christine Johnson says

    They are all amazing but I love the chromes and itsy glittzy! I have been a Hard Candy polish fan since the 6th grade! Haha! First nail polish I owned was a HC color called “Earth”

  581. Chelsea says

    I’m in love with the Candy Sprinkles collection. Every single colour in that range is so sweet I wouldn’t be able to choose what colour to try first!

  587. Susie says

    It’s so hard to pick just one. I’ll go with Crushed Chromes. They look like they might be great for stamping.

  589. Helena says

    I would like to see swatches before choosing but I would be definitely between Crystal Confetti and Itsy Glitzy, they look absolutely unique!!

  599. Lauren says

    I would need time to decide which collection if I won – they are all pretty amazing! Probably Its Glitzy or Crushed Chromes or Chrystal Confettii.. haha!!

  600. Kyla Sage says

    Totally would love to see the crushed chrome collection. Love that the ones you swatched didn’t need a color coast underneath!

  643. Wren says

    So hard to choose!I love the Sprinkles, Chromes and Glitteratzi! Lol, I love the Crystal Confetti too! Amazing giveaway! Thank you so much! I cant wait to find these in the “wild”!!!

  664. Karel says

    Candy Sprinkles, Itsy Glitzy, or Crushed Chromes – though I truly think that the chromes are my favorite.

  667. JM says

    I love the candy sprinkles, but I need to see swatches of the Crushed Chromes and Itzy Glitzy polishes to really decide… *hint hint more swatches please*

  674. Brandie Burgett says

    I’d love to win the crushed chromes the most. I have ‘mermaid magic’ in the Glitteratzi and I love it. I used it to decorate the tip of my nails and so impressed.

  688. Roxanne Acevedo says

    Hope they arrive soon at Walmarts in Puerto Rico! I pretty much want one or two [or maybe 3?] of each collection but the Glitzzy & Crystal Confetti are my favorites.

  707. aaliyah says

    It’s hard to choose – I want them all! I think I want Candy Sprinkles a little more than the others but they all look fab!

  718. Chiro says

    Thank you for this Giveaway, as I’m Japanese in certain age, nail polish from Hard Candy means A LOT…for my old memories!! *lol*
    All look fabulous but probably candy sprinkles or confetti might be my fav <3

  739. Stephany Araoz says

    Omg these are amazing!! I would have to choose Crystal Confetti, you can’t go wrong with a combination of colors [: I wish they had these in my town

  744. Frosso says

    Thanks for the super generous giveaway! I would be happy with any of these really! I’m kind of leaning more towards candy sprinkles or glitteratzi though.

  750. Anonymous says

    Pink Fairy from the Candy Sprinkles collection, but I also love the Crushed Chromes and the Itsy Glitzys! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  755. Lisa says

    I love them all:-) Crushed Chromes would probably be my 1st pick if I had to decide and then Candy Sprinkles:-)

  770. Babs says

    This is hard! They’re all gorgeous! But since Candy Sprinkles immediately gave me tingly spring feelings, I’m gonna go for that one <3

  776. MissSixx says

    I would love to win any of them, but the Candy Sprinkles and Crushed Chrome collections are my favorite…I think….but I also like the Itsy Glitzy….hmmmm

  781. Leslie says

    I would need to see more swatches of the other collections but I really love Candy Sprinkles, especially Cotton Candy Pink. 🙂

  812. Msmall124 says

    I’m soo Glad to see these swatched! I’ve been waiting forever it seems like -And bonus they actually look just like the promo photos! I Love ALL of them!! My Favs being the Glitteratzy and crystal confetti probably -buut I’m guessing most, if not all, find their way into my stash 😉

  820. Caitlin Gallaher says

    I would love any of them. I’ve seen them in the store and they’re all sooo pretty.

  833. Anonymous says

  849. ♫ christine says

    I would LOVE any of them. The Itsy Glitzy is probably my favorite collection, but how can you say “NO” to any of those beautiful colors??

  854. AndGibs says

    I have bought Cotton Candy Pink, Pixie Pink, and Pink Taffy. (are you seeing a trend here?). Anyway, I would love to have every single one of these polishes from the other collections as well.

  857. megrims says

    My Walmart has only the empty display for the new products. It’s been there since at least Thursday! I’m going back today after work and see if they’ve finally stocked it.

  862. megrims says

    I would love to win the Crushed Chrome or Itzy Glitzy collection, since I’m probably going to snatch up Black Tie Optional and half the Candy Sprinkles collection as soon as I see them. 🙂

  868. Cassie MewBuorn says

    Wow- these polishes really do remind me of sprinkles on cupcakes! I love the pink & blue toned ‘sprinkles’ the most. Can’t wait to see more of the other collections swatched! Thanks!

  872. Lauren says

    I picked up Gummy Green, unfortunately a couple of the other ones I want were already gone! I’m hoping these are going to be around for a while, so I can get Black Tie Optional, Jelly Bean Blue & Peach Pop!

  873. Anonymous says

    They’re all so pretty but I can’t help but keep going backt o Sweet Tooth. Keeping my fingers crossed 🙂

  878. April Gevedon says

    If I were choosing a collection, it wld probably be Crystal Confetti. Honestly tho, if I were somehow lucky enough to win…I think I’d rather have names pulled out of a hat or something, bc it wld be sooo incredibly hard to pick just one, lol, they ALL LOOK SO AWESOME!! THANKS FOR A FANTASTIC GIVEAWAY….fingers crossed tight!!! lol

  888. Amanda Owl says

    I LOVE the sprinkles polishes…I’ve bought quite a few already and they are really awesome. I’ve had my eye on the Crushed Chromes next!

  891. Fiona says

    I’d be happy to win any of these! But if I had to pick one, I’d go with Crushed Chromes. Such amazing colors!

  894. hoodb4 says

    Did I happen to mention I really like the looks of the HC Crushed Chrome! ;p
    Thanks again for the opportunity. GL All

  903. Sophia says

    I would LOVE to win the Itsy Glitzy or Crushed Chrome collection, they both look amazing! I’m not a huge fan of glitter so these two collections are the best choice.

  911. Lustrous Lacquer says

    Id love to win either the confetti or the sprinkles because they are different than anything else I have in my collection. Thank you for the oppertunity.

  952. DroidMom says

    i tried the new crystal confetti fireworks, and its absolutely AWFUL. the red bar glitters curl horribly. several of the polishes in that group curl from what i hear. have you personally swatched the crystal confetti line love for lacquer?? i am just curious

  965. TamaraB♡ says

    I have never tried ANYTHING like the Candy Sprinkles line. I would love to win the Candy sprinkles. They remind me of Easter Whoppers my mom would hide in our eggs. 🙂 Thank you for the giveaway!

  1008. GabbyFe says

    Peach pop and pixie look great 🙂 I hope they’re available at Canadian Walmarts.

  1027. Amy says

  1045. Liz Bowden says

    Um yes! LOL I would love to have all of them, but I LURVE the crushed chrome and itsy glitzy.

  1047. Melanie Snyder says

    it’s really had to decide since I haven’t seen all of the swatches yet.. but I’d have to say probably the Crystal Confetti or Itzy Glitzy
