Mint Candy Apple is such a great color! You can't help but feel cheerful when you have it one your nails!

I can see why people might complain about Essie polishes chipping / not drying as fast as drugstore brands, but you have to keep in mind that they don't put in some of the nasty chemicals (like formaldehyde) that some of the cheaper polishes do. It helps a lot if you use a base coat (I like Loreal--- it's cheaper, but also "nasty chemical"-free), and a top-coat if you want extra long life!

Also--- I'm definitely buying my polishes from Amazon.com from now on; it's definitely cheaper than paying the $8 + tax you have to pay for essie in stores.

After mint greens became so popular this winter, I had to have Essie Mint Candy Apple. It's not really a dupe of Chanel Jade though, it has more blue and is a creme, but it's beautiful on! Also Essie's formula is great, so no chipping for at least 4 days on me. Overall if you like minty colors, this one is fantastic!

I love the color, but it chips like crazy! I will apply it one night, and by the next one I'm reapplying it to go over the chips. As much as I love the color, it's not worth it. I wish other companies were making this color so I could get it from them.

It is a pretty color and an alright application. It isn't as green as I thought it would be. I added a few drops of a yellow polish to change the color and now looks much better with my warm skin tone.

I love, love, LOVE this polish! I first saw this polish on my sales consultant who is extremely pale (think Powder) so I didn't think that it would look that pretty on my medium toned skin. I always try a color that I'm not certain of on my toes first. It was great! I eventually tried it on my fingers and have gotten so many compliments on it!

I bought this off Amazon marketplace for the same reason that so many other people have mentioned: PRICE. Essie, along with OPI, is a great brand. While it can be streaky at times, as other reviewers have said, make sure the polish is thin and that it coats evenly. Sometimes, to make it really POP (especially if you are tan or dark-skinned) a third coat is necessary. On toes I recommend three coats for the big toe and two for other toenails.

The secret to all of this is really the topcoat. While Essie has a great color, nothing can beat the glass-hard, shiny finish of Seche Vite. Combining Essie and Seche Vite looks like professional work.

This color is also like "Audrey" by China Glaze. While I like the hardeners in China Glaze better, this color is prettier in Essie. It is never dingy and does not look washed out. Keep in mind that it looks a little more blue in real life than it does in the pictures online. If you want a more Green mint green, there is Go on Green by OPI, but I like this one the best (even though my middle name is Audrey).

As usual, combine with Seche Vite for best results.

This color is just gorgeous; perfect Tiffany blue color. I love Essie polishes because they seem to go on well and not chip for a few days (if I use a top coat). Would definitely buy this color again!!

Idk how this price went from $5.15 to $15.15. I hope that's a mistake cause that's ridiculous. There's more cheaper ones on amazon for around $6.50 and that's including S&H. There's even one for $11.15 and that's selling 3 bottles of the nail polish.

Well, lets just say this nail poslish is better than OPI.

haha, but anyway first coat goes on kinda streaky than second coat goes on perfect hiding all imperfections. I really like it. The color doesn't exactly suit my tastes but I still think it's fun, unique and crazy. This is my first Essie nail polish and I am happy to say that it won't be my last.

i am obsessed with this nail polish. it lasts a long time, looks great, and the color is super fun. its my favorite color right now. perfect for spring.
