Recently Hard Candy came out with some limited edition products for their 20th Anniversary.
I picked up the 8 nail polishes. The first 5 (Coconut, Claws Up!, Sky, Mint and Scam) are old colors that are brought back and the last 3 (Girlie, Tangerini, and Zombie) are new shades.
These nail polishes are $4 each.
*First off, I want to apologize for the bad nail painting. This is my first time doing nail swatches. It was not easy. Haha
1. Coconut: Milky White with purple and blue iridescent.
Application: 1st coat was sheer and very streaky. While applying I noticed a texture, but that didn't affect the finish look. The iridescent was not noticeable until after removing the nail polish.
In the swatch below: three coats.
2. Claws Up!: Tan/Nude Beige with silver iridescent.
Application: 1st coat was nice and even. The formula on this one is very easy to work with, I like it a lot more then some of the other ones in this collection. It has a beautiful cream finish with silver iridescent after drying. Two coats was good but I think a third coat is optional for those who likes very opaque nails.
In the swatch below: two coats.
*This one is one of my top three favorites.
3. Sky: Baby Blue with iridescent.
Application: 1st coat was a little messy. The formula on this one is very thin, The polish pools up on the tips. Since it is thin, it can create air bubbles. To avoid this, you have to apply a thinner coat. The iridescent was barely noticeable. Two coats was good but I think a third coat is optional for those who likes very opaque nails.
In the swatch below: two coats.
4. Mint: Pale Mint with iridescent.
Application: The formula on this one similar to Sky, it is very thin so it creates air bubbles and pools up on the tips. To avoid this, you have to apply a thinner coat. The iridescent was barely noticeable until after removing the nail polish. Two coats was good but I think a third coat is optional for those who likes very opaque nails.
In the swatch below: two coats.
5. Scam: Magenta Purple with blue iridescent.
Application: 1st coat was nice and even. The formula on this one is very easy to work with, It has a cream finish with beautiful blue iridescent after drying. Two coats was good. I did notice that the more coats you add, the darker it gets. This is a very beautiful shade.
In the swatch below: two coats.
*This one is one of my top three favorites.
6. Girlie: Pink with iridescent.
Application: 1st coat was nice and even. The formula on this one is very easy to work with. Looking at the bottle, I expected this to be brighter but it's not that bad. The iridescent is very sheer and can be seen better in the sun/light. Two coats was good but I think a third coat is optional for those who likes very opaque nails.
In the swatch below: two coats.
7. Tangerini: Bright Coral no iridescent.
Application: 1st coat was streaky. This one seems to have more streaks. It's the only polish in this collection without iridescent. The second coat was still not good enough, so for best results use three coats! I love this shade, it's very fun for Spring and Summer.
In the swatch below: three coats.
*This one is one of my top three favorites.
8. Zombie: Deep almost Black Purple with iridescent.
Application: 1st coat was opaque. The only polish in this collection that is opaque and not streaky. The iridescent is beautiful. I recommend two coats just because....LOL

My Thoughts
I think these polishes are very good quality for the price. They are $4 each. Since they are limited edition, I do recommend you trying them out!
My Thoughts

3. Scam: To me, this is a unique shade!!!
