Well this was a pleasant surprise.  I went to the SAS and found TF. Every once in a while I come across this candle and every single time I turn it down. I guess I was afraid it's going to be crazy sugary sweet...to the point of blowing it out never to be lit again.  This time I went for it!  Here are my findings..  
According to Yankee Candle, Tutti-Fruitti is described as "Forever young . . . the happy candy aroma of a cherry, raspberry, strawberry and lemon whirly pop."
Tutti-Fruitti is a sugary scent for sure. I instantly get the same cherry scent from Cherry Lemonade and then the other fruity scents come in to play.  I hear it described as fruit punch often. I agree!  Just as fruit punch is a sugary mix of different fruit flavors. 
  I am drawn to this candle each time because of the beautiful label and the Cherry red wax. Each time I say no but I am so glad I took a chance this time around.  After burning one time I went online and bought three more. Although nothing has replaced my beloved Country Lemonade, I feel that this is a fabulous addition to my collection and will use it sparingly.  
Throw: 7

This was my flag mani for one of the challenges I am currently working on.  It totally smeared when I put the top coat on.  I don't know if it is "Out The Door" or it was me being quick to top it off.  Oh well it was okay enough to keep it on for the Fourth of July. I have on Julie G White Orchid with Zoya Livingston stripes and the blue is Sally Hansen xtreme wear Royal Rage.

I picked up these beauties the other day. I love the fact that Ulta sells Zoya.
This orange, Rocha, does not look as bring in the picture but it is pretty bright in person.  This is one that will be used a lot seeing how it's a popular color for everything I see in the department stores. 
Addison is a pretty mauve with some metallic/shimmer in it. Nice for a neutral tone mani. 
Last is Livingston.  I have looked at this one so many times and well since Ulta was doing buy two get one free I said why not!!  With the 4th of July coming up this would be great for a patriotic mani!  Can't wait!

I ordered this color recently and thought it was just the right amount of holographic-ness and nudeness. 
If your looking for something that still had sparkle but maybe need something that isn't so colorful then this is for you!  I love it. I have several bottles from KB Shimmer and I really love the consistency. Their duochromes are stuning. Check them out!  Http://www.kbshimmer.com
