I love John Candy and when I started taking pictures of this mani, I instantly thought about this scene in Home Alone. I remember that my dad took my brother and I to watch Home Alone when I was 11 years old, and I thought it was one of the greatest movies ever made. It has become a Thanksgiving and Christmas tradition to watch this along with It’s A Wonderful Life. I think it’s so amazing how things will stick in your mind from your childhood, and they will always bring warm memories. Sorry for the crappy video quality but it’s the only one I could find on youtube that wasn’t super long.
As soon as I wrote in my previous post that I was going to take advantage of the lovely sunglight, it immediately became overcast. Normally I would have had at least 2 hours of useable sunlight, but it didn’t quite work out. I was forced to take pictures inside with artificial light. Poo.
I ended up using one of the new polishes I purchased today: Essie Mint Candy Apple. How gorgeous is this color? Besides falling in love with the color, I couldn’t be happier with the formula. It flowed like butta. I used China Glaze White Out as well. It’s a color that I don’t use often, but I like the formula and opacity.
I really like how this manicure turned out. It’s so fresh and spring inspired.
What do you have going on this weekend? Anything fun?
This is really pretty! I like the alternating aspect. Keeps it fun.
Thanks! I'd been seeing this type of look online and decided to give it a try.

Love this! Looks so pretty for spring! I really need to pick up a dotting tool so I can try this.
Thanks for stopping by! Yeah, this was total spring colors working together. You can use a pin or toothpick if you don't want to get a dotting tool. 🙂
Bow before the polka king of the midwest! Home Alone is my fave holiday movie.
I know what you mean about Essies! Im in the market for a few more myself, but I have a few bottles to test out in the meantime.
This weekend is going to be cold in Toronto, so I hope your weekend is better.
It was kind of muggy here which I hate. It was supposed to be in the 90's and then it was kinda cool but then it was sprinkling so it was humid and gross.
Essie is going to make a serious dent in my budget. Damn you Essie!

I love Mint Candy Apple! That was the first Essie I ever got! 😀
I wish I could remember what my first Essie was. For your first Essie purchase, that was a home run.
Can you believe I didn't even purchase it? I got it in a swap! Hahah I do love this colors, though. It is so hard to find a good mint green!
That's so funny. My first OPI was a gift so I definitely remember that. Do you know of any other really nice mint greens? I thought about CG Re-fresh Mint but it looks kinda anemic.

Oooooo! I really really like this 🙂
Thanks. It was so easy to do and I'm happy with the way it turned out.
Hmmmm I think I need to add Mint Candy Apple to my collection… Love this!
Thanks! I can't believe I didn't get it before because it is an amazing color.
