In my mind, Spring starts on the 1st of March. Also in my mind, Spring means pastel nails. Of course, the absolute classic pastel Spring shade is Essie's infamous Mint Candy Apple, the perfect mint green. It's a well-loved shade by many a nail enthusiast, and it's so easy to see why. Plus, I love a bit of Essie, from their cute bottles to their wide brush, they're a brand I can't get enough of.
Now I know I am on a nail polish ban, but when I saw that Essie were selling Mint Candy Apple as a duo with a sparkly topcoat called Sparkle On Top, I had to investigate. And when it transpired that Sparkle on Top was a mesmerising flakie, and on 3 for 2 in Boots, I had to make it mine. I have decided that as it was free, it totally doesn't count.
I must apologise for the greyness of these photos, they are giving away what dismal weather we were having yesterday.
Are you a Mint Candy Apple fan? And do you, like me, love a flakie?
This is a gorgeous shade! I love it! Totally with you in believing spring means pastel nails! x

I have patiently waiting for March for a good few weeks now, looking longingly at my bottle of Mint Candy Apple! x
DeleteThis is so pretty! I've wanted Mint Candy Apple for ages and that glitter top coat is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteEveryone loves Mint Candy Apple. Formula-wise it isn't Essie's biggest hit, but that amazing colour more than makes up for it! x
DeleteThis is such a lovely gift set from Essie - beautiful effect :o) Xx

I really love a flakie topcoat, and this one applies so nicely! I have had others before that don't create half as good an effect. x
DeleteBeautiful! The green on it's own is such a beautiful colour but the sparkle on top is even prettier x

I never thought I'd find a way to improve on Mint Candy Apple! x
DeleteI just took off my Mint Candy Apple nail polish this morning! It's been on since the 1st :) I had to take it off for school, but I would've kept it on all month if I could have.

DeleteThis is such a gorgeous little set! I love mint polishes but I don't have mint candy apple! I think that's a perfect excuse to pick this up!

It is the prettiest mint shade out there, in my opinion. The formula isn't the greatest, but the colour makes up for it! x
