I just read that dinah mohajer is going to be the beauty editor for a new mag called nylon.The first issue is set for march!
New Sonic Glosses!
By now I am sure most of you know the
story about how Hard Candy came to be. Young
medical student Dineh Mohajer wanted a funky
blue polish to match a pair of sandals..she
found it with the help of some of her friends
in the chemistry department, she mixed her
own. Dineh's sister, Pooneh, thought she
was on to something, so Dineh bottled some
and brought them to funky salon Fred Segals,
where she happened to work. The bottles
sold as fast as she could manufacture them.
With help from her family and friends
a business was born. Before, there were
only staple pinks, browns and reds upon the
shelves. Now you can find just about any
shade you can imagine.
The Original Six. Violet, Sky, Mint,
Sunshine, Peachy and Bubble Gum. These
bottles are the original bottles dating
back to 95. Look at how mung they are.
Bubble Gum however, is a new bottle of
it. That and they've been reconstituted
with clear polish over the years, before
I gave in and bought new ones.
These bottles took what seems like
months to arrive. The original polish
formula was thick and chalky, but one
dry ultra foxy nonetheless.New Fall Shades
Melt (Gold glitter>), Normal (Burgandy)and Hype (Metallic brown).
Love
Love polish, some of the proceeds go to
the American Foundation for Aids Research.
It is a white based polish with a gold sheen.
The first "catalogue" was a series of
postcards. Like these two. This one, was
all of the polishes to date then,(winter 96)
including the holiday ones.
Christmas Polishes from the 96 season, from
left to right..Seasonal Psychosis , Jingle Balls,
Sexy Santa, Holiday Homicide, Grin & Icky Eggnog.
Also a Christmas polish Gangsta Booty.
Spring Line Polishes.
The Spring Line, from left to right
Cosmic (Pink w/silver glitter), Hick (blue
w/silver glitter), Galaxy (black w/silver
and round black glitters).
Lip Cubes
Lip Cubes (around $12.00 US), come
in five shades ranging from blue to pink.
The gloss is thick and glittery, soft on
lips....Best part being it tastes and
smells like cake batter.

Candy Man, Hard Candy's line of men's
nailpolish developed with Dineh Mohajer's
boyfriend Ben. The polishes from left to
right are Dog, Oedipus, Superfly (aka
Superman), Gigolo, Cowboy, Libido, and
Testosterone. Supposedly more Candy Man
polishes are being developed.

Highball Nail Gloss, marked as
being made and distributed by Hard
Candy. I bought these at Urban
Outfitters in spring '96. Applied
they are more of a gloss than a
flat lacquer.
