Revlon Moon Candy

I took part in a swap group over February, and my wonderful swap buddy, Cherie, gave me some awesome polishes.


 Milani Gems, Revlon Moon Candy x 2, Sally Hansen Lustre x 4.  Stoked! Look how gorgeous those sally hansen ones look!  They're not even released here yet!


Revlon Moon Candy is a dark creme and a flakie/textured topper.  


 Galactic Blue, Orbit Purple. No cleanup because it was hard enough to do this as it was.


The colours are just different enough to be different.  A purple/blue glitter for the purple base, and an aqua/turquoise glitter for the blue base.
The flakie toppers are not the easiest to apply - the brush doesn't seem to grab enough of the flakes, and you really do need to dab instead of brush for them.  
I used one coat of base, one dabbed coat of flakes, then one coat of sally hansen no chip top coat.  
Once it was dried I gently buffed down the spiky bits and applied a second top coat.  
Its still textured and a little lumpy, like moon rocks should be, but not all spiky.


Prettier in real life.
