You might have already seen my simple summer nail art post featuring these nail polishes, but I actually got a couple email requests to swatch all four of them individually, so here they are!
Sugar Fix #200
This pure white color looks like wall paint, with similar texture and smell. It also worked as a great canvas for ultra-sheer Royal Icing, so keep reading to see the swatches. I must admit, there’s something oddly appealing about the white nail trend, I feel like it makes even my pale skin look a little sunkissed.
Cotton Candies #700
This bright pink is perfect for pedicures, but I wouldn’t use it again on my nails despite the gorgeous color. As you can see in the pictures, it appears to be quite a bit clumpier than other Sugar Coat polishes. I don’t know if I got a bad bottle or if I somehow messed up the application.
Sweetie #400
Sweetie is a lovely cotton candy yellow, a color of cute baby chicks. It’s a very happy looking shade that has the same feel, smell and texture as Sugar Fix.
Royal Icing #210
Royal Icing is gorgeous, it’s a lovely sparkly baby blue with rose gold. Unfortunately, the formula is ridiculously sheer, so for the first couple swatches I applied four coats just to get it to show up.
Here I used two coats of Sugar Fix with two additional coats of Royal icing on top. Much better!
What do you think about these polishes? Have you seen them at your local drugstore?
ohhh that blue is horrible but putting it on top of the white really helps. these are neat but I’m not sure I’d pick any of them up, not quite for me. i like glitter in my texture!

Yeah, that baby blue is a nightmare to work with…
Ive seen these on a few blogs now and I like the look on other people but im not sure I will like it on my own nails. Uneven, nonsmooth nails just messes with my OCD lol. The white one looks great with your skin tone!

You know, actually I haven’t worn either of them myself since I got them 🙂 I feel like I’m so over the whole textured thing.
I love how great they look on you 🙂
Thanks, Betzy 🙂
wow those are so different. The texture is unusual. I like how that white looks on your skin tone.
Thanks Erica 😀
You have a great blog . I love sugar coat in cherry drop and bubble plum. I am surprised to see many negative reviews about this in the blogosphere…
Do check out my blog too http://www.thefleamarketqueen.com .

Thank you for the kind words, Ila 🙂
I agree with you, there are many people who don’t like SH textured polishes, but I think it’s just a matter of personal preference – some people don’t like textured polishes in general, some don’t like glitter, some hate “boring cremes”. We’re all different, and that’s a beautiful thing!
