I fell into the hype with this one...
Everyone always raves about Essie Mint Candy Apple ($8/€8) and I've always been tempted by it, but I was always apprehensive because I thought that pastels (especially mint) never really suited me, I've always loved the color, but for some reason they just looked off on me, somehow. However, I was pretty impressed with this one.
It's definitely a pastel blue-green, hence the name Mint Candy Apple, that may look a bit off in February (I mean, who am I kidding really? It's still Winter..) but I still can't resist how gorgeous it is. It's very opaque, needing only two coats, and it lasts about 5 days without noticeable chipping, the usual with Essie nail polishes.
Despite the fact that I don't think pastels suit me, I still think it looks really nice on the nails! I will say that it's a bit more blue than green (as you can tell by the photo), which is partially why I like it - seriously though, who can resist a blue nail polish?
Overall, I like this color, it's definitely not my favorite, but I will definitely be getting my money's worth out of this for Spring!
