Date Night

Ok, with all the excitement with the Hard Candy haul I just had, I overlooked how beautiful Date Night really is. After all the swatching and picture taking this morning, I decided on wearing Date Night because it was an overall pretty color and its been a while since I wore something glittery (besides my first holo). So this is what I sported today:
It's like looking at a new diamond ring under the sun!

This is just to show you how sparkly it is.

A smooth application with really fine glitters. I can't tell but I think it has a clear base. This polish has so much glitter packed in there that it is it's own color. I needed more than 3 coats to make this opaque (I stopped counting after 3 hehe) but it looks beautiful even when it's sheer. This is something I would definitely wear on a date night ;)
At the end of my day, these nails were screaming Konad!
I kept it cute and simple and added a little bling to it. 
I used Konad's white special nail polish and IP m56.
Added rhinestones and topped it with some Seche Vite.

Hope you like it!

Any suggestions on my next post? Color, konad, you tell me...I'll be glad to give 'em a try.

Hard Candy Haul (picture heavy)

I got really excited for Diana's Hard Candy Giveaway that I needed to go check out my local Wal-mart to see if we had the brand in store. Before I entered this giveaway, I never noticed that they carried nail polishes in that brand; but when i got to the store, omg! they were too cute to pass out on so I had to get me a few just to try.



Here's the swatches on my nails. The colors are true to the image in real life. 


This was a lovely blue but on my nails, it seemed kind green like teal color. I tried to capture it in the picture but i kept giving me this blue. Otherwise a pretty color.


A pretty neutral color.

All the colors were beautiful. I wish I bought it all but my budget didn't fit the price for all at the time so the rest will have to wait. I liked the creaminess of the formula but I wish it wasn't so runny. Don't get me wrong...even though they were runny, the cream colors applied very opaque and I was able to achieve complete coverage with two coats. As for the shimmer and glitter colors, its expected that it'll take more than just two coats to make them opaque. Overall, I love it and I'd buy them all! Perhaps I'll win the giveaway and not have to get the rest ^_^. Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!
