The whole concept of Hard Candy started in the
year 1995, when a twenty-something woman named Dineh Mohajer was
having trouble finding the perfect nail polish color to match
her flashy sandals. Dineh, the original Hard Candy Girl, never
found that shade – so she decided to create her own by mixing
some colors. This original nail polish color was a perfect baby
blue and after receiving dozens of compliments she designed a
small line of four Easter eggshell colors of nail polish – sky,
sunshine, mint and violet.
These four shades were an instant hit in the
stylish Los Angeles boutiques. However, it wasn’t until Clueless
star, Alicia Silverstone, mentioned her Hard Candy manicure on
the David Letterman show that the sensation turned into a huge
success. Ten years later the company now boasts 150 beauty
products available and offers makeup for eyes, lips, face, and
body, including their product staple – nail polishes.
Hard Candy Product Line
With one glance at the product display of the
Hard Candy brand it is easy to see that it is truly geared
toward the youngest of faces. With a large variety of flashy
body glitter, oil blotting powders and papers, plus the perfect
zit cover up pencil, their makeup line is sure to dazzle those
deceptively innocent girls. Fun is at the heart of all their
products including the cute packaging right down to the
heart-shaped powder puffs. They also pride themselves on the
added sensual details including extra tasty lip products and
aromatherapy oils as additives in other body products.
