Essie- Mint Candy Apple

Essie claims that this color started a "revolution" when this shade was introduced in 2008. I was in high school and only buying cheap drugstore makeup at the time, so I only recently got into the mint/pastel trend about two years ago. This color is not seasonal, and can be purchased for about $8 USD wherever Essie is sold. It is a pale blue-green creme polish.
I love the color, but getting it on to the nail and making it stay on the nail is a bit of an issue. The formula is really sheer, so some nails required a third coat to look opaque. Also, chipping an tipwear is not as good as it could be for a supposedly "high end" polish. However, I like to wear this polish because it makes skin look more tan and because it is more blue than other similar "mint" polishes.
I went out for a friend's birthday last night, so I added some stripes to the polish so it would be more special. The other colors I used were Wet n' Wild in Plenty of Fish in the Sea and China Glaze in Modify Me.
