China Glaze Eye Candy

When I first saw the Eye Candy Collection nothing really screamed “MUST HAVE” to me. And then I saw Lorelei’s Tiara on Alexa’s Blog and decided it has to be mine.

And because, of course, I couldn’t buy just one, I got Some Like it Haute as well.

 The picture really doesn’t do it justice. It’s so beautiful (eye candy, really!) – small silver glitter and bigger, hexagonal, blue glitter in a clear base. I did 3 coats but could have gotten away with two if I wasn’t such a perfectionist.

The down side is that it’s a huge top coat eater (well, what do I expect from glitters?) and it chips quite easily. But hey, I can live with that seeing that it’s so pretty. Oh yeah, removing it is a bi**h (pardon my french )! I dipped cotton pads in acetone, placed them over my nails and wrapped them in aluminum foil for about 5 minutes  and it was a lot easier (removing it the normal way is near to impossible).

This one was rather a pain to apply but I managed a decent job. I think it looks better in pictures than on the nail. I like it, but not as much as I expected. It’s a lot of small black glitter (actually a very dark grey), a bit of small silver and holo hex glitter. Yup, that’s a lot of glitter (you can see a close-up in the picture below).

It’s so sparkly (thanks to the holo) but I couldn’t get a focused picture to show you so…here, have an out of focus one

 Overall I think they’re pretty awesome, even though they don’t last very long and are kind of hard to remove.

I got them both from Beauty in The Bottle (if you’re from Romania I highly recomend it).
