Essie's Mint Candy Apple is a polish that has confused me since it's release. I bought it instantly as I'm attracted to that soft-but-bright kind of aqua colour. My sheets are a light Mint Candy Apple colour! I remember trying it that winter and it was horrific on me. I swapped it away. Spring came and I got curious, picked it up again - hideous. Swapped it away. This pattern continued a few times. (Seriously. It was not smart.) Finally I decided just to keep the bloomin' thing. I felt the moment was right and busted it out again a few days ago...lo and behold I LOVE IT. WTH.
Something must have snapped in me, or the weather is right for it, or some strange voodoo is at work... It doesn't seem to make my hands look red anymore (less so in reality than in this picture actually!) and it's the perfect shade of mint green to pop against my 'brightpastel' summer wardrobe.
I'm still confused by this polish. I'm half convinced I will hate it again the next time I try it, but for now, we're in love...
What do YOU think of Essie Mint Candy Apple??

Looks so beautiful on you! Funny, but no matter it's popularity I was always sure it wouldn't look right on me, so never bothered getting it.
ReplyDeleteIt does look lovely. I had the exact same experience with this color: I wanted it so much I ordered it directly from the Essie website, and then it looked awful. Maybe I'll give it another try.
ReplyDeletei love this color and love to wear it :).. for me, its one of the best :)
ReplyDeleteI love Mint candy apple. It's a staple in my collection. It looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteI have this, but haven't worn it since it first came out because I remember the formula being a bit difficult. It is a very pretty pretty shade of mint, though. Maybe your taste for it depends on the time of year? I know even though I never tan and always wear sunscreen, my skin does get a bit browner in the summer, which makes it way easier to pull off these types of chalky shades than in the winter (when I'm looking chalky enough all by myself!).
ReplyDeletei love this color!
ReplyDeleteThis polish was one of my first lemmings! I love Mint Candy Apple.
ReplyDeleteI really want to find this shade and Turquoise and Caicos!
ReplyDeleteFunny story, the other day there was a lone bottle of T&C and I grabbed it. Then set it down for a second to pick something up and it was gone! How rude.
