Revlon Moon Candy Galactic - Swatches and Review

Revlon Moon Candy Galactic by @unitedinbeauty
I know, I know, I'm a bit late and I missed the great Revlon Moon Candy bandwagon of 2014 but I'm discovering it all over again, and I am in LOVE! I'm honestly just discovering the magic of flakies for the first time, and I can't take my eyes off of them. So much holographic goodness!

Galactic is by far my favorite out of the entire Revlon Moon Candy collection. It's a double ended polish, with one side being a very deep dark purple, which appears almost blue black under certain lighting. I wanted to emphasize the flakies and let them stand out as much as possible, so for my manicure I used Orly Liquid Vinyl, which is a very glossy black.

The blue and green holographic flakies are a great size, and I had no trouble with getting them to lay flat on my nails. They are a bit chunky, so I added three coats of Seche Vite Fast Dry Topcoat to be sure to encase them completely.

Overall, I'd give Revlon Moon Candy a total thumbs up, the flakies are gorgeous, are just the right size, and made for a fabulous manicure with minimal effort. I know I'll be using this polish again!

Lavender and White Nails with Color Club Covered in Diamonds Accents

Maybelline Color Show Lust for Lilac by @unitedinbeauty
As you may have noticed, I've been on a bit of a hand painting kick lately, and the streak continues! These are bright and fun, and easy enough for even beginners to recreate. I started by painting my nails with 2 coats of Lust for Lilac, and added the holographic flakey accents once the base coat was fully dry. Just to add a little zip, I used my nail art brushes to hand paint the lines on each finger. Easy peasy!
