I Want Candy and an Apothica Giveaway ***CLOSED***

hi everyone! today i wanted to share with you another great polish from Deborah Lippmann, called I Want Candy. it is an unbelievable jelly, which Deb does perfectly, that is an adorable shade of bright candy pink! it is sooooo me and i have been lemming it for a long time. i acquired it from a blog sale luckily because it is discontinued. this is three coats, and even though there is still visible nail line, i don't care because it is sooo fun and bright!

i wanted to let you all know that Lippmann polishes are not only available at her site, but also at a special place called Apothica. this store is based out of Salt Lake City, my neighboring city and state capital!  they have an amazing brick and mortar store as well as a fab online site!  be sure to check out their great selection of Lippmann polishes.  a huge plus is that they ship internationally!  they sell not only nail polish like Lippmann but also Essie, Barielle, and loads of other cosmetics/hair care brands like Two Faced, Smashbox, Cargo, Nars, Stila, and Aveda.
