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!

Tommy Hilfiger Pink

I don't know if I have ever worn a colour as bright as this one. 

Honestly! Even my husband noticed it. He was all "Wow! That is one bright red!" and then I had to tell him it was pink. Or more appropriately fuchsia.

This has that awesome plastic-y quality that the blue one did. It even feels slightly rubbery. 

I love it. Plain and simple. 2 coats, clean up was beyond awesome. Don't you love polishes like that? Where the clean up is super easy? I sure do.

Enough that I went and found the other set of the metallic ones. Haven't tried them yet but I already had bottle trauma with one of them. I'll take photos of said bottles for you all.

Tommy Hilfiger Blue

My husband is a big fan of Tommy Hilfiger so we tend to go into the shop a lot. During the Boxing Day sales I happened to notice a set of polish at the counter when he was paying for his stuff. I picked it up seeing it was 60% off and OMG NICE!

There was this colour (which is a little more teal-ish IRL), a creamy light grey, and a medium fuchsia pink. 

It went on super smooth, I had practically no clean up to speak of. The colour was opaque in say 1.5 coats but I do 2 out of habit always. 

On the bottom of the bottle it says manufactured for tommy.com in the Netherlands. I have no idea who the maker is but DAMN! Super duper nice polish! There was also a sparkly metallic set as well.. I may pick it up if I see it again. 

Isn't it lovely? It has no name either, so I call it.. blue. ;)
