Candie's "Over The Rainbow"

Hello everyone and happy happy Friday!  (Who else is ready for a long weekend and to ring in 2019?)  Today's nail polish is Candie's "Over The Rainbow" which is a brand sold exclusively at Kohl's stores.

"Over The Rainbow" is a polish of rainbow chunky glitter in a clear base.  Formula wise this polish was pretty good and spread the glitter evenly.  However it was not made to be opaque so I decided to try it out with some colored polishes!

The first polish I tried out with "Over The Rainbow" was Nicole by OPI's "Why Yellow There..." which created a cute look that oddly reminded me of Belle's dress in Beauty and the Beast.

The second nail polish I tested out with "Over The Rainbow" was Essie's "Taj-Ma-Haul."  I liked this combo a lot and would rock this look again!

If you want to know more about Nicole by OPI's "Why Yellow There..." or Essie's "Taj-Ma-Haul" be sure to check out my posts from earlier this year!

Overall Candie's "Over The Rainbow" was okay and looked cuter on my nails.  However with my job I can't really get away with wearing glitter nails at work so I probably won't keep this nail polish around for the long haul.

Candie's "Supernova Sky"

Hi all!  To brighten up everyone's Tuesday here's a glitter!  Today's nail polish is Candie's "Supernova Sky."  The Candie's brand comes from an american store called Kohl's which sells items at a discount.

"Supernova Sky" is a pretty blue and silver chunky glitter in a clear base.  Formula wise this polish was watery and took some time to spread the glitter out evenly.  As with most glitters it isn't meant to be worn alone so I decided to test "Supernova Sky" out with some other polishes.  Here's how it turned out:

The first polish I decided to try out with "Supernova Sky" was China Glaze's "Boho Blues."  This combination was very blue and looked like the ocean in the sunlight.  I liked this combination a lot and it will be nice for Summer!

The second polish I decided to try with "Supernova Sky" was China Glaze's "About Layin' Out" which is a hot neon pink.  This combination was okay but it wasn't my favorite.

The third nail polish I decided to test out with "Supernova Sky" was Sally Hansen Insta-Dry's "Rapid Red."  This combination turned out nicely and I wore it happily for Memorial Day.  It would also be a great and easy look for the 4th of July!

If you want to know more about China Glaze's "Boho Blues" , China Glaze's "About Layin' Out" or Sally Hansen Insta-Dry's "Rapid Red" check out my posts from earlier this year!

Overall I like Candie's "Supernova Sky."  This polish looks nice on the nail which makes up for the patience it took to apply to my nail.  I will however wear "Supernova Sky" again because it is so sparkly and pretty!

Candie's "Orange Pop"

Hi guys and happy happy Friday!  To celebrate the weekend I pulled out an orange colored polish since I almost never wear orange polish!  So without further ado, today's nail polish is Candie's "Orange Pop."

"Orange Pop" is a very pretty creamsicle colored orange.  It's the perfect pastel orange for Springtime!  Formula wise this polish was slightly watery but it was not too difficult to apply.  After two coats, "Orange Pop" was completely opaque  but did have a few streak marks.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear this nail polish for two days before it began to chip off.

Overall I have mixed feelings on Candie's "Orange Pop."  The color is this polish is fantastic but the formula and how easily it chipped were a bit disappointing.  However I would be willing to try this nail polish again because I don't have another polish like it in my collection.

Candie's "Yo-Ho-Ho"

Hi all!  It's April Fools day but there's no joke on the blog today!  For today's nail polish I settled on Candie's "Yo-Ho-Ho."  Candie's is a brand of nail polish sold at Kohl's stores in the United States.  Kohl's is a discount store similar to T.J. Maxx (of T.K. Maxx in the United Kingdom).

"Yo-Ho-Ho" is a lovely pastel purple nail polish with a fun silver shimmer!  The formula of "Yo-Ho-Ho" is good and it was easy to apply.  After two coats the polish was completely opaque and there were no visible streak marks.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear "Yo-Ho-Ho" for about four days, which was quite a nice surprise.  In the past my experience with this brand of nail polish hasn't been so good, but "Yo-Ho-Ho" has changed my mind!

Overall I am quite happy with Candie's "Yo-Ho-Ho."  The color of "Yo-Ho-Ho" is what made me buy it because it is such a gorgeous lavender color.  However I wasn't expecting anything else out of it, so I was so pleasantly surprised that the formula was good and that I was able to wear this polish for four full days!  I will be wearing "Yo-Ho-Ho" more often!

Candie's "Disco Chic"

Hi guys!  I hope everyone is enjoying February and looking forward to Spring arriving soon!  Today I decided to pull out a super fun chunky glitter polish and that polish is Candie's "Disco Chic."

"Disco Chic" is a shiny purple chunky glitter polish in a clear base!  Formula wise this nail polish was surprisingly easy to apply for a glitter polish.  As with most glitters it wasn't meant to be opaque and instead was meant to be worn as a top coat, so I decided to test it out over some other nail polishes.  Here's how it turned out:

The nail polish I decided to test out with "Disco Chic" is China Glaze's "Wanderlust" which is a pastel lavender colored polish with a gold shimmer.  The combination of purples turned out fantastic and looked so nice together.

If you want to know more about China Glaze's "Wanderlust" check out my post from earlier this year here.

Overall I am very pleased with Candie's "Disco Chic."  Everything about this nail polish is fantastic from the color to the application!  I definitely plan on wearing this nail polish again soon!

Candie's "Galactic Dust"

Hi everyone!  Today's nail polish is Candie's "Galactic Dust."  Candie's is a store brand of Kohl's, which is an affordable American department store where most things are on sale all the time.

"Galactic Dust" is a chunky silver glitter nail polish in a clear base.  Formula wise "Galactic Dust" was easy enough to apply but it did take some patience to spread the glitter evenly.  Since this polish is a chunky glitter it is meant to be worn as a top coat over colored polishes, so I decided to test it out over a couple polishes!

The first combination is "Galactic Dust" over China Glaze's "Good Witch?" which creates a very princess-y look!  I really like how young and girly this look is and it would be the perfect accent for a trip to Disney.

If you want to know my about China Glaze's "Good Witch?" check out my post from last month: http://perfectlypolished12.blogspot.com/2015/10/china-glaze-good-witch.html

The second combination is "Galactic Dust" over Essie's "Ruffles & Feathers."  This combination is fun because silver and turquoise look so nice together!  It reminds me of the ocean with the silver sparkles looking like the sun hitting the water!

If you want to know more about Essie's "Ruffles & Feathers" check out my post from September: http://perfectlypolished12.blogspot.com/2015/09/essie-ruffles-feathers.html

Overall I am pretty pleased with Candie's "Galactic Dust."  It is a nice glitter polish and it looks good over a variety of creme polish!  I will definitely be wearing this nail polish over and over again!

Candie's "Aqua Denim"

Hi guys!  I hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather like I am.  So this week I decided to test out a new (at least to me) brand called Candie's.  Candie's is a brand produced by Kohl's stores.  Their name polish runs about $6- $7 (US) a bottle.  I love trying out new brands because sometimes you find a new brand of nail polish you love and this is especially true with Candie's by Kohls!  I decided to try out Candie's "Aqua Denim" which is a fantastic royal blue color!

Candie's "Aqua Denim" is super pretty and I just adore blue nail polish (and I own far too many!)  I was a bit worried that because it is more of a drugstore brand polish that the formula might not be stellar, but I was very excited when it went on flawlessly!  The formula is smooth and was nearly opaque after one coat.  And after the second coat the color was gorgeous and "Aqua Denim" had no streaking at all!  Touch ups were easy and even though it is a deep royal blue I had no staining on my skin.  However when I removed the nail polish my nails were definitely stained, but after a little extra work with nail polish remove and some old fashioned soap and water my nails returned to their normal color.  As for chipping I began to see chipping on day two, which was a bit disappointing.  I had hopped to wear "Aqua Denim" for at least four days before it chipped!

Overall I like Candie's by Kohls "Aqua Denim" and definitely plan on wear it again and possibly buying a few more of the polishes!  However I do wish I had been able to wear "Aqua Denim" longer and that the nail polish didn't require extra work to de-stain my nails.  But since the formula is so fantastic I am more than happy to wear Candie's "Aqua Denim" again.
