Essie Mint Candy Apple






In a desperate bit to inject some summer vibrancy into life (this weather is beyond depressing) I've gone with Mint Candy Apple from Essie.  Having heard so much about this colour all over the blogesphere I felt it was an *essential* purchase (what has blogging done to me?!)

This really is a true mint choc chip ice cream colour (mmm my personal favourite) and I quite simply love it! 

After one coat, I've got to admit that it looks horrific, but perceiver (we're talking 3 coats) and it does come good! I used Sally Hansen Double Duty as a base coat, and finished up with Sally Hansen Mega Shine top coat - both available at Boots or Superdrug.

How are you trying to inject some sunshine into your life?

Have you tried Essie's Mint Candy Apply? If you have, do you like it?

    It's such a gorgeous colour! They don't sell Essie products where I live so I'm tempted to purchase a couple of colours online. They're range is beautiful.

      If you fancy treating yourself I would go for it - I've tried Mint Candy Apple and Cute as a Button (I've done a post on that colour too if you want to check it out) and I love them both! Let me know if you decide to get any :)

    Aww, you changed it! Well, I really like the new layout, it looks good. And I like your taste in nail polishes even more! Absolutely love Mint Candy Apple, it's definitely the shade of the summer. Is Cute as a Button the pink one?
    Another Essie favourite of mine is Sure Shot, is completely different from the other two, but it's just gorgeous, and in fact I'm wearing it right now.
    Hope you've had a lovely weekend :)

      Yep, I took the advice I was given haha! Alexandra is so kindly helping me to sort it out a bit more, and make it look prettier!! Yeah Cute as a Button is a coral pink one (I've done a post about it too http://shinyprettythings-alice.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/essie-cute-as-button.html) I just googled Sure Shot and it looks amazing - I need to get my hands on it!

      I've had a great weekend thank you, I hope you have too. x

    ohhh, i really love this color! i have essie's turquoise and caicos and it's my absolute fave. i'm a little freak about anything that's turquoise. even my freakin' bedroom walls are turquoise! ha :)
    but the weather here has been really beautiful the past few days, so i've had plenty of sunshine in my life (as you say! :) ) i just wish i wasn't working 50 hours a week so i could enjoy it more! aggh

      It's gorgeous isn't it! I really want to get turquoise and caicos - I think it's an essential! Haha don't worry so am I, my towels are turquoise, my old bed was turquoise, I had a turquoise themed party, most of my jewelry features turquoise...you get the idea!
      Oh my goodness, you poor thing! I bet you're exhausted!
