Ladies, I am thinking of getting candy shop - it would be my first DL glitter. What is the formula like when dry? Is it a gritty or smooth finish - assuming 1 coat of top coat.

Thank you.

Do it!!! Candy shop is my very favorite glitter, and probably the only polish I own that I dont think would benefit from a coat of CtD... I use 2-3 coats of candy shop and top it with 1 coat gelous and 1 coat SV. I like my polish to be completely glassy and smooth, if you're not as picky you could probably just use SV.

Another vote for Candy Shop! I love it! Reminds me of a strawberry frosted donut with sprinkles! I had no problem applying it or with it being gritty

Thanks so much for the help. I do like a nice smooth mani, but I have never tried Gelous. Maybe I will purchase and try with SV and see how it goes. ;)
 
Sooo i have a question for all the lippmann experts out there. I just ordered a couple lippmanns from a blog sale and seeing the two bottles together, one says deborah lippmann on the front and the other says lippmann collection, why? Whats the difference between them? ( aside from color obviously.) The two colors are some enchanted evening and holiday.

I don't remember when but she changed the name of her polishes from Lippmann Collection to Deborah Lippmann
