Hello everyone
Happy Monday, doesnt the weekend go fast!
As a nail polish blogger I end up changing my polish almost every day. Its rare for me to keep on a color for longer then 3 days. Last week I actually wore the same color from Saturday to Friday- a rare occurrence for me!
I was wearing Essie Mint Candy Apple.
When I first started nail blogging Mint Candy Apple was the polish I was most seeking. I wanted it so bad, every swatch just made my mouth water. It was the color for me. I couldnt find it anywhere. I participated in a nail polish swap and ended up with Revlon Minted and China Glaze Refresh Mint. I ended up loving Refresh Mint and hating Minted but I still wanted to try Mint Candy Apple. So I talked to a very nice blogger kittypolishnbags and ended up doing a swap with her and I finally was able to get my Mint Candy Apple.
Fast forward about 3 months and I still had not worn the shade that took me so long to find. So when I was decided what to apply and noticed I hadn't really tried it out I decided I wanted to finally see if it was as great as I hoped.
It is. Its spectacular and one of my favorite polishes.
I am a huge fan of Mint in general and this polish just makes me squeal of delight thinking about all my favorite mint treats! I found out that people who dont like mint dont find this color that appealing but I do!
Application was fine. The first coat is a bit uneven but the second coat really evens this polish out and makes it look awesome. Wear is FANTASTIC! The pictures were taken on the 4th day and I didn't have a chip until the 5th. I am very hard on my nails so this is a feat! The essie brush is great if not on the smaller side. The polish is a bit thick but comes off easily and you just cant beat the wear. I would definetly reccomend this to any mint lover.

I have this but haven't tried it yet. Must get onto it.
ReplyDeleteThis color was hard for you to find? I remember picking it up at Ulta when I wasn't really that into nail polish.
ReplyDeleteI was looking for the PERFECT Robin's egg blue. I wanted it to be exactly that color. And I passed on so many polishes until I saw this one. And I knew. :) Surprisingly the first day I wore this polish- I actually found a Robin's egg. I held it next to my nails- and it matched PERFECTLY!
:) Just a tid bit.
This polish isn't for me, but that's just because of my skin tone. This looks lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteI adore this color! I find it is a little bit tricky to apply since it is a heavy cream. I got this color last January and I didn't even have to think twice about getting it! I saw it a month later in the clearance bin at Ulta and I was really surprised. I got soooo many compliments on it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great on your short nails. I cut mine a little bit shorter and gave them a square shape for this manicure. It just doesn't look as good on long rounded nails IMO.
Best mint color out there!! :)
This is my platonic love polish.I know we would be sooo goot together, but I'm still to buy it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colour!

ReplyDeleteI remember this one! :)
ReplyDeleteI had to have this one too, but unfortunately it doesn't look as good on me. Looks great on you! Glad you finally got it.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I have American Apparel Office which is along the same lines but this one looks really cute!
ReplyDeleteI love that color!
