Remember Hard Candy? It was the nail polish brand of the late ‘90s, successfully marketing funky nail colors like green, silver and frosty blue. The must-have brand was a middle and high school status marker—if you wore Hard Candy (or better yet, had a collection of bottles) you told the world that you cared enough to spend way more than $1 on the Wet ‘N Wild variety, and that you loved being a trendsetter. Then somewhere along the way, Alicia Silverstone stopped wearing the shimmery sky-blue polish, and the company slowly morphed into Urban Decay, only to let Hard Candy fall to the wayside and become available only in hard-to-find ways, like on eBay.com. Well, she’s back!
That’s right, the good news is that Hard Candy is about to experience a retro revival. The line will be coming back thanks to an agreement with Wal-Mart stores. The best part—a price point much lower than its previous $12 per bottle. V. recession-friendly, and awesome news, too. Lacquer up. [NylonMag.com]

OMG, I loved Hard Candy back in the day—their lipsticks were the best, heavy pigment and amazing colors…but at wal-mart, you know it’ll be ruined because they ruin everything!

@ Kiki T: YEAH! They let Miley Cyrus have a clothing line I really hope they don’t mess this up. And I hope they have the cute jelly rings on the bottles.

I gasped with excitement then I let out a big sigh of disappointment. I STILL have the baby blue nail polish in my basket and they have one of the coolest shades of dark purple-red, not-quite-black I’ve ever owned. But I don’t shop at Wal-Mart unless it’s super emergency. Suckfest.
