NOTD: Essie – Mint Candy Apple

Long time no NOTD! :D

I got a wee bit addicted to nail art and I haven’t had a manicure without Konad, gradients or rhinestones in weeks! After my New Years Eve inspired manicure I wanted to wear something simple again and picked Essie’s Mint Candy Apple for New Year Eve. Oh how I love it!

Creme nail polishes have a special place in my heart and Mint Candy Apple is one of my favorites. The application was great. One sheer coat and one thicker second coat and it was opaque. :)

I’m still not sold on the mint green fad… The closest I’ve got is For Audrey. :)

My NYE mani was Misa A Sin Worth Committing layered with Nfu-Oh #50.

I am completely sold and have it in a mini… so guess at some point I will have to get in a normal bottle to.. sigh :(

LOL! Well, I’m not properly convinced yet, but I’m easily enabled when it comes to a lot of other stuff, I assure you! :D

MCA looks great on you, but it failed on me. I have to agree with Solveig. I had formula issues with this one as well.

Not really a mint green fan although Chanel Jade was to die for. $23 is a lot for a polish though!

My NYE mani was Essie’s Midnight Cami. I’m now wearing China Glaze’s Emerald Sparkle. I haven’t yet sunk my teeth in Dorothy Who? It’s so cold here that I haven’t been feeling like wearing a glittery blue like Dorothy Who?

I just love the mint green polishes. I have to buy this one. Looks fantastic on you. I also love your photgraphs. They are clean, crisp and close up! Three very important C’s. I wish I had MAC’s Peppermint Patti. That’s a big lemming for me.

Thank you so much Lucy!

I had Peppermint Patti but I never used it. After I saw swatches of the BarryM mint green I even sold it because I thought I just buy the dupe later. :)

I adore mint green nail polishes too. There is just something about them that makes me love them so much. Either light ones like Mint Candy Apple or Re-Fresh Mint or darker and muted ones like Misa’s Dirty, Sexy, Money. They always amaze me. :)
