Essie -- Mint Candy Apple [blue hue]

Can we all just stop for a moment and appreciate the divinity that is Essie's Mint Candy Apple? This picture is from last month, when I still had the blue-hued MCA [which I traded for the green-hued version... see my post on April 25th for more details]. Even though I traded it it's still such a GORGEOUS shade that it's plain to see why it's such a cult favorite. This was two coats, topped with HK Girl by Glisten & Glow. The formula is... okay. MCA gets a bad wrap. It may not be the best formula in the world, but it's definitely not the worst either. The color more than makes up for any application struggles, in my opinion. I'm such a sucker for light blue nail polish! Who am I kidding... I'll probably buy this one again, and then I'll have BOTH shades in my collection. #nailpolishgoals
