Hard Candy Goes Bye-Bye?!

Aug 25, 2008 @ 3:31pm

Hard Candy Makeup Jane Mayle isn't the only '90s upstart shuttering:

Hard Candy will also slim down by next season, selling only its gift sets and liquidating everything else, including the iconic pastel polishes that made the brand famous, thanks mostly to Clueless and MTV.

The good news in all this is that they're liquidating their inventory, so you can get tons of makeup for under $5.

The bad news is you'll never be able to pass on the joy of overpriced and juvenile, but amazing, nail lacquer to your daughter once she hits middle school.

Get it while you can.

Wow. It's the end of an era! My favourite bottle of nail polish was from Hard Candy and it was sparkly metallic blue. Ha. How time flies!

funny how things are, Hard candy was a flop in my country, it was too expensive here, however I got addicted to the nail polish, and to those plastic rings :( baby blue one was a total must have in those days... ohh how time flies!

Hard Candy and Mayle sooo don't belong in teh same sentence. Though makes me wonder when Urban decay will fold. I miss my Tony & Tina red lipsticks

I only ever liked Hard Candy's nail polishes. Everything else was kind of crap.

Last time I bought Hardy Candy was 2003. Now I'm getting all nostalgic! I just bought a bunch of stuff. Thank you for the tip! I've never known.

Actually, I do not believe Hard Candy is going out of business. Its just a rumor. Hard Candy used to be sold at stores but they are now being taken off the shelves and will be sold on line only. Due to the high inventory, they are having a huge sale with 75% off. I guess word has gotten around cause not its only 50% off on the webiste.

Hope some of you were able to stock up on the sale, I know I sure did.
