Yes, this shade was released years ago, but I whip it out multiple times throughout the year {especially during the winter / spring seasons} as it is an absolute classic {i.e. clear a spot for it on your shelf right between Essie's essential vamp-tastic Wicked, and ultra-feminine Ballet Slippers}. The color leans toward the realm of mint chocolate chip ice cream {being far more pale in hue than China Glaze's For Audrey}; and looks incredible on any skintone. I honestly cannot sing its praises more...just get a bottle {if you don't already have one, that is}. A Note: I find that pastel colors can sometimes be thinner and more runny than darker shades {hence the three coats}; but if you shake the bottle between coats, it helps the formula to regroup, and build opacity {at least from my experience}.

Love the color and the product.
I've been wearing Orlay's "hidden treasure." I think it'll be one of my favorites.
I usually save this sort of mint for March, but I have several shades now. I love essie!
Thanks to you.
I've noticed a lot of blues out there these days.
Very pretty. Great to see this color out there. I'll definitely have to find mine. I get a lot of comments when I wear it. One co-worker told me it reminded her of the 60's.
Lovely! I've found that to be the case for pastel colors. Love your tips on manies too.
I love Essie. I definitely want to try this color now.
Pretty, Essie is one of the bests!
Such a beautiful color!
I need this color for my nail polish collection because it is so pretty! It is the perfect mint color! :)

That is such a beautiful color! I've always loved Essie polishes :)
I have on a wine colored nail polish at the moment.
This is one of my favorite shades of blue. It's so happy and elegant. It looks beautiful on you.
I'm so obsessed with that color! It's beyond gorgeous!
So pretty...love that for the winter months too. Like a breath of fresh air.

Love it! I tend to be so conservative with my nail choice colors.. But I have a feeling that this spring is the time to mix things up! And maybe I'll start with your recommendation.
Another beautiful shade! I am going to pick up some nail supply stuff today at CVS. I didn't know there were things called "base coats" and cuticle pusher-backer things. I will have to look for this shade while I am there!
Such a very lovely color! i love mint colors like that :)

Gah, I love your nail pics! This is such a lovely color - puts me in the mood for spring with this warm LA weather we've been experiencing!

Ah I remember when this first came out and I was obsessed with it! Over the past couple years I've pretty much gravitated to conservative "office-safe" colors though. This week is OPI's french bordeaux!
Ooh what a pretty color!
I love this shade. It has such a perfect spring feel to it.
Lovely nails;)
each nail polish color always amazes me, i never have thought this is a candy apple shade!
love this color. Similar to Sally Hansen's Mint Sorbet that I paint on when I need a pick me up!
Oh I really like this color. It reminds me of Spring which I want to hurry up and be here!
Gorgeous color!
Ooh this is cute. And it really makes me want mint chocolate chip ice cream!
Gorgeous! I really need to buy more of this shade, it's such a charming colour! xx/Madison
Love love love it Erika!! How does every single shade you pick suit you so well??! Always so jealous of your nails too, so beautiful!
this looks like a perfect shade for spring/summer! maybe even winter actually, it would go with my blue freezing body!
