♥ 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!**

    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!

    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

    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!

    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!!

    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!!

    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!! 😀

    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 🙂

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.
