Hard Candy/Motorola faceplate
& matching nail polish ($39.95)
05/16/01 - In May 2001, Hard Candy launched a new
contest in conjunction with Motorola to win a phone with special
Hard Candy faceplate, matching nail polish, and vacation package. The
faceplate/nail polish combo was also available for purchase at
Motorola's site. A cute site was set up to coincide with the
contest. Check it out here: Hard
Candy/Motorola games. View the official
press release for this product...
Serendipity Nail Polish
($12)
Mauve colored Serendipity Nail
Polish by Hard Candy in conjunction with Miramax Film Serendepity.
From
The Marriage of Makeup and Movies by Jenny Bailly: "Miramax
decided to get in on the action, too, and approached Hard Candy
about creating an exclusive product for their film, "Serendipity."
The LVMH-owned beauty company suggested a nail polish, their
signature product. The result is a never-before-seen shimmery purple
polish whose launch will coincide with the film's October release.
The limited edition color, called "Serendipity" of course, will only
be available in Bloomingdale's until spring."
Lip Gloss Cube Set ($24)

Kit includes four glistening
shades Haze (metallic purple), Blur (metallic silvery-white), Icky
(metallic white-peach), and Angel (metallic beige-gold) - that taste
and smell like cake batter. This is a great deal considering that
one cube costs $12 bucks. You get 4 for the price of 2. Was
available at Sephora.com as of 04/14/2001.
Hard Candy Dog Tag Kit ($30)
Includes:
Pink Eye Glitter Eye (pink w/silver sparkles), Hick Nail Polish
(blue w/silver glitter), Silver Makeup Bag, Logo Dog Tag Necklace...
Review: Very cute. On the
young side, but a collector's must-have. I actually wear the
necklace a lot. I removed the super young looking dog pendant and
left the logo rectangle... Looks cool.
Twinkle Twinkle Kit ($30)
Includes:
Pussy Cat nail polish, Cosmic Dip Lipstick, and a star shaped
glittery candle.
Review: Another collector's
must-have. Good if you don't already have the nail polish (I already
have two bottles of Pussy Cat so I would really only be buying the
lipstick and candle.)
Sissy Bug Set ($30)
This
set was a specialty item and was available a while back at
Nordstrom. The set was one of a few sets that combined a bug bobby
pin or hair clip from Tarina Tarantino w/Hard Candy products. The
Sissy Bug Set included a cute makeup bag, bobby pin, lipstick, lip
cube, and Sissy nail polish. I really wanted to order it back when
it was available, but somehow never got around to it. It was an
adorable set. Quite inexpensive too considering everything that is
included.
Status: The kit is not
available anymore. You can probably still buy most of the Hard Candy
products separately. For Tarina Tarantino hair accessories, check
out www.tarinatarantino.com.
Nail Polish Teasers ($30)
Includes: Mini versions of
HC's most popular nail shades.
Review: A good way to try a bunch of colors without spending $12 for
each. These were available during 2001/2 at Sephora.
Delight Teasers: Hick,
Jailbait, Chump, Spaceboy, Exxtasy, Sissy, and Blast
Fancy Teasers: Trailer Trash, Fiend, Moody, Ghetto Girl, Platinum,
Love, Galaxy
