Great color, okay quality. Very streaky. You need 3 (thin) coats to get the full color. It lasts about a week, but may chip depending on the rigidness of your nails. I would recommend this for Spring and Summer.

Well, i was actually searching for a perfect shade of aqua/turquoise blue when i found this.... at first i thought it was just "mint" green... but i googled the product and found that it was actually "bluer" than that. so i bought it. it turned out that it was kinda blue... but it was greener than i expected.... it still looks kind of aqua so it's really satisfactory for me and it looks different under different lighting. Also what I like about it is that it looks really pastel and "milky" so on my not-so-tan-but-still-kinda-tan skin it looks like the color is popping out. I think that if your trying to find a nice "mint and chocolate chip ice cream" type of green this will be a perfect green for you~ ^^
Although i have to say that this is kinda streaky (there for losing a star). I had to put on 2 layers and its just barely enough. It dries quickly (in my opinion) though so i only spent like 15-20 min. painting my nails this first time so i was really happy cuz usually i smear it...Read more

I absolutely fell in love with this color when I first saw it! Mint Candy Apple is my "go to" color, especially with Nova (China Glaze) on top of it (on the ring fingers only). I recommend this to everybody looking for a good creme, minty blue. I do find that it goes on kind of streaky, but a base coat and applying two coats takes care of that.
