Nail Hoot Candyland Collection

Good evening friends! Remember last month when I shared with you a few
polishes from Brandie's The Beginning collection from her new Indie polish line
Nail Hoot? Well, she has so kindly given me two polishes from her upcoming
Candyland collection to preview and swatch for y'all! (If you missed my
review and swatches from The Beginning collection, click Here to read it!)

The new Candyland collection will have a total of 5 polishes designed after characters
of the game. In this post I will be sharing about the first 2 in the collection.
Licorice Twist named after Lord Licorice and Ice Queen named after Queen Frostine.

Up first is Lord Licorice which is a beautiful chocolatey color with a hint of - lets call it - 
cherry, that's what comes to mind, a touch of red. It is also full of  beautiful multi color
micro glitters. It's easy to pick out some reds, greens, and blues. You can see them pretty 
well in my macro shots. Here I painted a base coat, 1st coat of color, a coat of gelous, 
then 2nd coat of color, then a top coat. It covers perfect in two coats. 
It has a lovely formula that covers well in two coats. It isn't too thin or too thick, just right!

Up next is Ice Queen named in honor of the lovely Queen Frostine. This one is a
beautiful icy bright blue that hints at purple at times. It's filled with micro glitters and
pinkish-purple glitter bits. You can see the shimmer from the micro glitters and
the larger glitter bits up close in the macro shots. I did Ice Queen with a white base but
I also swatched on sticks with and without the white base and they don't look terribly
different so if you aren't into white bases, it will still look just as lovely without one and
with only two coats! Here I did a base coat, one coat of white, 1st coat of color,
one coat of gelous, 2nd coat of color, then top coat.
Again this one also has an easy formula to work with, not too thick or thin.
