An 'alternative' cosmetic line that was started in 1995 by Dinah Mohajer. It originated as a line of nail polishes when the former bio-chem major couldn't find a desired shade of pale blue polish so she decided to make her own. Each Hard Candy nail polish came with a matching plastic ring in colors with names such as "Trailer Trash," and quickly spawned myriads of lower priced imitators.

The line has expanded to include high quality lip, eye, and face products in fashionably non-traditional colors. My personal favorite is a shade of light pink/lavender called "Jailbait." (that was two years ago, apparently now it's sold under a more politically correct name, "Byte.") ;)
