First I pulled out some light/baby blues and my light, mint greens. I had four blues and three greens. You will see in the picture below MCA in the middle of the picture. To me, just from bottle pics, I felt as though I was right in my assumption that MCA is more blue than green. But we all know, bottle pics don't necessarily mean the same thing on the nail.
I decided to use Diamond Cosmetics - Oh Tiff since I thought MCA looked like a Tiffany's blue yesterday and I used the darker, blue based green OPI - Hey! Get in Lime.
In the picture below I have
OPI - Index
MCA - Middle
Diamond Cosmetics - Ring
MCA - Pinky
To me, MCA does appear to be blue, although not as blue as Oh Tiff as I originally thought. MCA just does not appear to be a mint green, sure if I look hard enough I can see that it has tinges of green, but I personally wouldn't call it a mint green. I also think that if the name didn't have the word "mint" in it, calling this a green wouldn't even cross my mind.
I also thought I would go ahead and compare it to the lighter of the mint green polishes that I have, while I was at it.
CG - Groovy Green - Index
MCA - Middle
Essie - St. Martin Mint (droooooool) - Ring
MCA - Pinky
Next to these mint greens, MCA really looks blue to me.
Soooooo, there you have it. This "experiment" was done not only to put my mind at ease that I wasn't loosing it about what color MCA is, but also in case any of you wanted to know how MCA compared to other blue and green nail polish.
If you love your MCA more power to you, I'm not trying to dissuade you from loving it. If you like it, I love it!! I'm just sharing this one gal's humble opinion on Mint Candy Apple :)
