Swatch & Review: Essie "Mint Candy Apple"

I've been on the search for a perfect mint green and decided to give this a try. It appears more blue than green, which is a shame. However, I absolutely fell in love with the color once I applied it. It compliments my skin tone perfectly, which is a sure way to my heart. Out of all the polishes I've worn, I've gotten more compliments on this one by far. I mean just look at it, it's perfect!

While my search for the perfect mint green continues, I'm quite happy with this turnout.

Intensity: For the most part it was opaque after two thin coats. However, there were a few places that were not quite opaque so I would recommend two thick coats or three thin.

Texture: It has a very thin consistancy, which I personally love. It's not too thin that it starts to run, just enough to have control over placement.

Finish: Cream, quite a bit of shine

Dry Time: I'd say it's about average. I don't feel as though it was quick, nor do I feel like I had to wait a long time.

Wear Time: I went about five or six days without any major chips. There were a few smalls one's, but they never became worse.

Overall Opinion: I've always loved Essie polish just because I feel like they go on flawlessly. The color is stunning and even though I use my hands quite often it resist chipping.

I used two thin coats of Essie, followed by two thick coats of OTD.
