I happened to run into the three new Hard Candy Walmart Halloween bottles - Wicked, Zombie, and Mischief, when I spotted a Walmart off the freeway in SGV and made a quick detour. These polishes are a little thick and goopy, but didn't really give too many application problems and they have pretty good coverage. All of these swatches are three coats.
Wicked
Mischief
Zombie
Comparisons:
Mischief is a pretty generic shade, I have more than five black loaded with silver glitter, so I picked the ones with denser glitter for comparison.
Wicked is a bright orange glitter loaded into a greenish sheer black base. It's pretty similar to China Glaze Ick-A-Bod-Y from their current halloween collection (Awakening 2010) but the glitter is a little brighter and more dense.
Zombie had two dupes right there at Walmart. Pure Ice Cheatin and Nicole by OPI Gone Wishin. I couldn't bring myself to buy three identical bottles, but i did get the cheaper Cheatin to do a comparison. Cheatin is pretty much the same, but much less dense. It would take several extra coats to build to the same opacity as the Hard Candy.
These pictures were all taken indoors with an artificial light source.
Mischief is nice.
ReplyDeleteThere's a Sinful polish called... Frenzy? It's a blue and purple glitter as well, though the blue may be lighter. The polish is packed full of glitter, though. :) very nice!
ReplyDeleteI don't go to Walmart so I won't be getting these. There's enough dupes to not worry about missing them.
