It’s incredibly bright and bold! It’s more of an orange-based red than a blue-based red, which is nice to see, as many holiday reds run cooler (or bluer, if you’d like). This is definitely what comes to mind when I think of Essie–it’s nice, and it’s certainly flattering (even my Dad would like it, probably–because he wouldn’t even notice it!, just not terribly unique to me. It’s not opaque, and it has a milky pink look to it. Rock Candy is a sheer, lightly creamy pink.Against China Glaze’s Re-Fresh Mint, it’s also not a dupe - it’s significantly bluer, actually - though they have the same lightness/paleness, just one runs more aqua and the other more of a minty green. This is much paler, lighter, and more aqua than For Audrey (which is much bluer), nor is it remotely close to MAC’s Peppermint Patti (which is much greener). I just didn’t really have any trouble with the application like I had heard from others. I applied one thin (streaky!) coat as my first coat, and then I layered on a medium-thick second coat and away we went. It really just reads aqua to me–maybe a smidgen of green at best. I know there’s supposed to be green in it, but it’s quite faint. The other two just seem like shades I’ve seen before, so they’re must-haves.Īll swatches shown are two-coats with a China Glaze base coat and Zoya top coat. The only shade I really liked was Mint Candy Apple it’s unique enough to merit a purchase, and it’s fun and wearable as well. Two of the three are distinct creme finishes, while one is more of a sheer, though still creamy looking. A sweet lil’ treat–something I’d consider putting in someone’s stocking this year. Essie Sweet Time of the Year Collection for Winter 2009įor winter, Essie put out a trio of shades: Mint Candy Apple, Rock Candy, and Lollipop.
