American Apparel African Violet and Bonus Bottle pics!

I do love a nice red purple. I think they are so much easier to wear than a lavender/mauve. Darker is so much more manageable for me. 

This covered gorgeously, I probably could have done 1 careful coat, but I am a creature of habit, so 2 it was.

I would have worn this all week if not for an incident with my Kitchen Aid and not quite set polish. Oh well! There is always more polish to use right? 

These are the Tommy Hilfiger bottles I promised to show you. They are nice! The cap is rubbery (like Nars packaging) and are easy to grip.

The silver one on the end (untried) looks like a Lippmann polish I've seen at Murale! 

This poor bastard was a victim of I don't know what. When I opened the box they came in, the bottle had a huge spill and it somehow eaten away a big portion of the rubbery cap! So in my zest to clean it up, I used acetone on the rubbery part. OOPS! Yeah, that didn't pan out so well. Good thing I'd pickled up some empty bottles at the supply place! This blue looks pretty nondescript anyways but still.. hats' off to the fallen soldier. 

Happy weekend possums!

American Apparel Army Jacket

I was obsessed with this colour.

It was my reason to keep going into AA. I wanted it so bad!

Now I'm slightly underwhelmed. It kinda pales beside the fugtacular MacArthur Park.

Don't get me wrong, I love it. And this is 3 days of wear! Held up like a champ. 2 coats of creamy goodness. It will probably be a go to palate cleanser for me.

But I have to say, I'm kinda in love with the fug colours right now. Weird. Also: I had 2 nails break on me (my nails never break!) so they got super nubbinised. They are even a little shorter than this now. They broke while I was wearing that Tommy H blue, but the polish was so weirdly plastic like, it held them together for me to get home and clip 'em down. Wowsers right?

Happy weekend possums!

American Apparel MacArthur Park, Sinful Agaci

I was so excited to get this polish. I kept going into AA (which my husband calls the costume store. The kids in there look like they're in an 80's movie) to pester check to see if they had them yet. 

I wasn't planning on getting this colour until I saw it popping up on blogs. I do love me some vomit coloured green polish. I did get a couple of bubbles as the polish was a titch thick (note to self: could use some thinner) and I fully consider it user error. BUT OMG COLOUR AWESOME!!

After a couple of days (2 coats, great wear!) I threw on one coat of Agaci. I had an idea it would be great over it and I'm happy to report it does. There's no sun here now, but it's glittery and sparkly and happy making. 

It even makes my pink tinsel tree happy!
