ABC Challenge: Candy Shop by Deborah Lippmann

I know I'm two shades late in joining the challenge, but I hope this amazing color by Deborah Lippmann makes up for it.

Deborah Lippmann is a special brand to me, as it played a huge role in inspiring my own venture in the world of cosmetics. The price tag is hard to swallow at first, but honestly with the first brush stroke I knew it was worth every dollar.



Candy Shop is one of my favorite opaque glitters of all time. The bubble gum pink base and the literal explosion of red and blue and yellow and green and gold... my eyes can't even take in all the colors at once. There's so much glitter you almost have to play hide-and-go-seek with the base coat.



It's so very hard to find opaque glitter in mainstream polishes, especially ones with quality. The formula is amazing. It has an amazing consistency that isn't goopy or runny; it dries super fast, and I only needed one coat of HK Girl Topcoat (my new favorite topcoat, by the way!) to make it super smooth and shiny. It looks like the gory aftermath of a pinata party rush, and that makes me happy, which is exactly what nail polish should do.
