Candie's Nail Polish

Today I've got swatches of some of the Candie's polishes I picked up at Kohl's a while back. I believe this brand is a Kohl's exclusive; I've certainly never seen them anywhere else. The cap on these is unlike any others in my stash; it's a sort of tall crown shape, flared at the top, in a rosy metallic shade—very pretty.

The first color I tried was Peri-twinkle, which is a creme and thus does not actually twinkle. It's a vivid purple-leaning blue.



I used two coats, and it's plenty shiny without topcoat.



Next I added one of the glitters, White Noise. This has iridescent bar glitter and small glitter in a clear base. I used two coats of it to get the coverage shown. This is also without topcoat.





To sample a shimmer, I chose Royal Navy, a deep blue. Two coats, no topcoat.





This stayed blue even in low light:



I save the most intriguing for last—a multi glitter called Over the Rainbow. I put one coat of this, plus topcoat, over Royal Navy. It's a mix of hex and small glitter in a really interesting color palette dominated by silver, gold, copper, pink, and green. As much polish as I have, I can't think of another one like this in my stash.





I bought these with one of the coupons that get mailed to me as a Kohl's charge customer; regular retail for these is $8 per 10ml bottle, but right now they're on sale on the Kohl's site for $5.99 (and $17.99 for some 4-piece sets in different bottles) . Plus now through March 9th you can get 10% off that with a code that the company was nice enough to give me to share: TENFORBLOG. I wasn't able to stack that with my regular Kohl's sale code, but perhaps I was just doing it wrong. If you want to jump right to Peri-Twinkle, it's here under Candie's Smooth Nail Polish. Royal Navy is listed under Candie's Metallic Nail Polish, and White Noise and Over the Rainbow are in Candie's Glitter Nail Polish.
