Rock Candy is from Essie's Winter 2009 Sweet Time of The Year Collection.
I know alot of you don't like the sheerness of this lacquer. The swatch on the right is 3 coats and it's not even close to being opaque. It is also a little streaky when first applied, which is common to sheer pinks, but nonetheless still annoying.
However, despite it being a sheer and pain in the butt to get even, I think this lacquer will become a staple in my collection. For no other reason than it is perfect for work where I want my nails to have some colour, but don't want to make a massive colour statement.
I imagine I will also use this as a top coat to a french manicure. The pink will tone down the harshness of the white tips and give the whole manicure a more understated look.
Plus, it looks like strawberry milk. What's not to love about a lacquer that reminds you about being a kid!
