I love aqua polishes. I already own Essie Fashion Playground (a sheer pale aqua with crystal shimmer), Rescue Beauty Lounge Aqua Lily (a turquoise with iridescent pink shimmer), Butter London Artful Dodger (cream grayed turquoise) and Victoriana (glittery grayed turquoise), but I wanted a cream aqua that would be opaque in two coats max. Next to Fashion Playground, Blossom Dandy is more aqua and Fashion Playground a bit more minty green. While Fashion Playground is gorgeous in the bottle, it takes three hefty coats to become opaque; I was hoping Blossom Dandy wasn’t going to be the same. It was, sort of. Instead of tree thick coats, three thin-to-normal coats gave me opaque coverage; still a little disappointing but is doesn’t take too much longer for an additional thin coat to dry. The color is beautiful so I’ll keep using it. As for the coverage, Essie’s cream polishes last very well. I wore it for four days, kind of long for me since I get tired of polish after three days. By the time I took it off new growth was more visible than the minimal wear on the tips and there were no chips.

Blossom Dandy is a lovely aqua shade. I had the pale green Mint Candy Apple and it always seemed to be somewhat chalky and even the texture upon application didn’t seem as smooth and forgiving as some of my best Essie nail colors.
I adore Cute as a Button (coral), and have purchased three bottles of that since my discovery of it, and my favorite vamp shade is Wicked (dark burgundy black). I knew I preferred Fashion Playground (also pale green) to Mint Candy Apple because of the finish and the bare hint of shimmer, and for me it went on less choppily than Mint Candy Apple.
Blossom Dandy is bluer than both of those. It’s a lovely greenish aqua that reminds me of the Tiffany blue box. It is almost robin’s egg blue but a touch too spearmint for that. It’s a nice change from my newest crushes, Peach Side Babe (the perfect peach) and Stones N Roses (my ideal pink/peach/rose). I wanted something a little more sea foam for my beachy weekend and this is it. I like the Essie colors that go on opaque and creamy like this one. Two thick coats gave me bright color and I used the Gel Setter top coat to set.
Essie’s polishes are not always the same opacity or texture, but they rarely specify which formula is which. I avoid the sheers and tend to have better luck with the richer, thicker polishes, such as this.

Ahhhhhhh, I’m crazy over this color! This is what I hoped Mint Candy Apple would be, but wasn’t. Blossom Dandy leans more on the blue side but it isn’t the baby blue everybody wore in the ’90s–here, it’s been updated and works fabulously as an unlikely neutral. It’s so, so pretty; a literal breath of fresh air after a long, long winter of wearing dark plums and greys. After reading review after review extolling the virtues of this shade, I stalked all the local shops that carry Essie until it came in so I could snag a bottle of my very own and I have no regrets.
The downside? Well, yeah, there is one. The early “sneak peek” reviews I read all raved about how awesome Blossom Dandy’s formula is, and to that I say–what were you smoking when you wrote that? Although this isn’t half as bad as Mint Candy Apple about streaking and looking chalky–I mean, it *does* cover very well even with one coat–you may have a problem with the polish being super gloppy and a bit of a pain to work with. This I was not expecting. I thought it was going to flow onto my nail with the elegance and grace of a champion ice dancer, but I quickly realized that was not the case when I ended up with major pooling around my cuticles. Ugh. So I tried again, this time verrrry carefully. The trick here seems to be going light and making sure you don’t have excess polish on the brush because it WILL rush down onto your nails and ruin your manicure, not to mention it will never ever dry and it’ll look like you used a thousand layers of house paint on your fingers. Thin coats, people. Thin coats. This will help it dry smoothly and not end up getting all smudged and gooey, but you do have to work at it.
Bottom line: Me and cremes don’t get along well so I generally steer clear, but for a color this gorgeous it’s worth breaking that one little rule. Just go easy and apply carefully in the thinnest coats possible, and you’ll be getting compliments in no time!

This shade is even prettier on your nails than it appears in the bottle. It is a gorgeous minty, creamy, almost a blue-turquoise shade. I get a ton of compliments whenever I have this on.
Application is a bit tricky and the formula is a bit goopy and thick, but it’s nothing I can’t work with. I find this is a common issue with creamy Essie shades but I can deal.
I add a few drops of some nail polish thinner to the bottle that I bought from Sally’s when needed. Applying a top coat also helps to even out patchy areas.
I recommend using a good base coat and then applying 2 or 3 THIN coats with plenty of drying time between coats, and then finishing off with a top coat once said 2~3 coats are dry.

This is the first time I’ve ever been at all impressed by an Essie. It’s the perfect “minty” shade (for me, anyway) – a brightened pastel green-aqua creme that appears more blue in some lights and more green in other. I can’t agree with the reviews below – to me, it looks much bluer than Mint Candy Apple. The formula isn’t as bad as I was expecting from other reviews – I did have some dragging on one nail, but that doesn’t speak so much to bad formula as to an application fail. The only thing that would improve this for me is if it had that hidden shimmer, like Bikini So Teeny. This one is going to be a permanent staple in my collection!

I normally like Essie polishes a lot but this one just didn’t thrill me. The formula was good with even, opaque coverage, but the color was a too “stark” for me. It’s not one I will reach for very often!

blossom dandy is a beautiful, bright blue mint color – not as white or blue as ‘mint candy apple’ and the formula is so amazing, this polish should be a legend! i just picked it up about a month ago and i’ve already worn it about 5 or 6 times! the formula is so easy and opaque perfection in 2 coats. the color is perfect for spring. i wish i had bought a back-up! i have no dupes of this in my collection. fashion playground is much more green.
i can also say the wear time is excellent!! 10 out of 10 on wear time for me. i can’t say a bad thing about this polish. i took one point off of packaging bc i’m not crazy about the tiny Essie brush.
bottom line: go get this now!! absolute MUST! essie hit the ball out of the park with this color. i’ll probly have the bottle gone before the season is over.

Holy wow…I am so impressed by this seemingly normal mint shade. It’s so similar to other greener mints, but this is somehow unique. It’s not a Candy Apple dupe at all. Candy Apple is bluer. Gorgeous color and I have never received so many compliments and asked so many times before what color this was by strangers.
Easy formula and opaque in 2 coats. No streaks and just perfect.
