Essie - Mint Candy Apple
Elf - Blue Mist
Revlon - Minted
Illamasqa - Nomad
Clearly Illamasqua is the sore thumb. I had to give him extra hugs because he felt so out of place.

If only this purchase from China Glaze actually came with something from Tiffany's. *sigh*

Middle: Elf - Blue Mist
Ring: Essie - Mint Candy Apple
Pinky: China Glaze - For Audrey
In terms of color, Elf and Essie seem close, but are different. I guess it depends on how strict you want to be. Elf is muted, Essie is a brighter more true pastel.
The formulas on all of these varied dramatically.
sheer and creamy (4 coats)
Ring: Essie - Mint Candy Apple
opaque and chalky (2 or 3 coats)
Pinky: China Glaze - For Audrey
standard cream (2 coats)
Pinky: Elf - Blue Mist
Ring: Revlon - Minted

Middle: Illamasqua - Nomad

Pointer: Essie - Mint Candy Apple
Thumb: China Glaze - For Audrey
Illamasqua and Revlon are more green leaning (middle and ring), while the others are more blue leaning.
I think pretty much every company makes a minty blue/green pastel. Which is your favorite color or formula?
