Hard Candy: A tale of two Frigids

HAPPY SATURDAY!

Today I have a post that has been only an idea until now! Hard Candy re-released their old polish names in 2008, all but completely changing everything but the polish name. The only double that I have in Frigid, and the only thing they have in common is that they're both blue LOL! :) 



Let's check out the original version first! Oh, this bad boy is dated indeed! Anyone else remember when metallic frosts dominated the polish scene in the 90's and early 00's? This would be a prefect example of that. I love the actual color of this polish, but MAN the brushstrokes are kinda killin' me! I love the way this polish glows, though. I'm torn with this one, ladies. Two coats.




Now for the later released 2008 version, which I LOVE! A pale, sheer blue polish LOADED with iridescent micro glitter. WOW. ZA! This is three layers although I can't wait to bust out the layering possibilities. Endless! I really love polishes that glow this way. Just beautiful.  





Have a wonderful weekend!

  1. Both gorgeous! There's actually two versions of Tantrum and Jailbait as well IIRC.

    1. I own two slightly different versions of Luscious, as well. They both have the old-style label on the back, though one's silver capped and the other's white capped with less gold shimmer.

  2. They're both beautiful, but I prefer the newer version. I love that it's more delicate looking and doesn't have a load of brushstrokes.

  3. Wow, the first version is sooooooooo frosty. I mean, the color is gorgeous, but lord, the frostiness!! I like the second one a lot more.

  4. I must be in the minority, as I find the second version rather boring. I own two bottles of it (one of which I'd happily swap for another Hard Candy, if anyone's looking for a bottle), but haven't been able to get my hands on the first/original one (which I love), unfortunately.

  5. Fab fab fab!!! I, of course, prefer the original, brushstrokes and all!!! Kaz knows whats up, all the re-releases seem to be different from the originals, Jailbait and Tantrum being the most significant differences.
