Happy Wednesday to our amazing group of ladies and everyone else too :)
Also Happy birthday to lovely Lariesa ♥
Today it’s time for letter M on our ABC challenge and for this week I chose Essie Mint Candy Apple. Very simple and basic color but also very pretty. This goes great with my skintone and makes a perfect base for some nail art or layering glitter polishes. On the first photo I have two coats of Mint Candy Apple and a coat of the amazing HK Girl fast drying top coat.
I decided to try some stampings on this one but they ended up looking a little messy. I like how the two colors turned out looking though. For the butterflies I used some tiny little sample plate from Konad and the ring finger pattern is from XL O stamping plate. These XL plates have nice and big patterns for longer nails. The polishes I used for stamping are China Glaze Adore and Harmony.
That’s it for this week and be sure to pay a visit to all the other ladies too :))
I like the two-toned stamping and the really light scattering of glitter. It gives it a 'fairy' kind of feel. So pretty!
Thank you :) I think I'm going to give the two tone stamping another try sometime soon :)
Thanks for the bday shoutout! :D I really love Mint Candy Apple. It was almost my pick for this challenge too. Your stamping looks very whimsical :D
You're welcome :) and thank you :))
Beautiful! And love the purple you used for stamping. Very Spring like!!
Thanks Dionne :))
Mint Candy Apple is soooo lovely, but it's a kind of color that doesn't look good on my skintone. :'(
Awww, that sucks! I hate it when I love a polish but it doesn't look good on me :/
Mint candy apple is such a gorgeous minty green :D It looks wonderful on you too! Great pick!
Thank you :)
That is one of my all time favorite Essies. And I LOVE the stamping. SO pretty!
Thanks Ketlyn :))
Very cute stamping! I love mint polishes, one can never own too many *adding this one to my list now* Thanks for sharing!
Thanks :) I don't have too many mints. I think I need to add some to my stash ;)
I want this color so bad, I love it!! I have a few other minty greens and they just don't suit me, maybe I shouldn't buy it….but I want it!! Ahhh, the troubles of polish bloggers!!! Your two toned stamping is gorge, the colors look awesome together!
Thank you :)) It's weird how some of these minty shades suit you and then again almost the same shade doesn't.
Love the mint color! I also really love the two-toned stamping, I'm going to have to try that.
Thank you :)) It's really easy, just use two colors at the same time instead of one :)
Kerrassaan herkullinen!
Kiitos :))
Such a cute design! I love mint candy apple, what a gorgeous color!
Thanks Jenni :)
It looks sooo nice! I had no luck with that Essie myself and I just swapped it away :(
Where do you get the HK top coat? From the States? Or did I miss some European seller???
Thanks :) I got it from Glisten & Glow bigcartel store, from the States.
Hi, sweet Ria! I think you nailed it with this mani. I adore your stamping, and you're right: that's a great color for your skintone.
Super job!
