Tomorrow is football day...

Yep, another day of watching my nephew and other 8-10yr olds play football!!!!  Since I have not decided what manicure I'm going to sport tomorrow for the big game, here is the manicure I sported a couple weeks ago.

I used the saran wrap method. If you are not sure what this is, here is a the tutorial I followed from NAILED IT.

American Apparel "Passport Blue" and China Glaze "Champagne Bubbles".

First I stated with 2 coats of "Champagne Bubbles "..

Can you see the bubbles? This is a very pretty Dijon mustard yellow shimmer with silver glitter. Dries fast and smooth, no issues.

Once it was dry to the touch, I painted each nail with 1 coat of the AA color, and used little balls of Saran Wrap and dabbed the top of the nail, until I achieved the right mix of colors. Then I moved on to the next nail, and ....

Because I used such a dark color on top, clean up was a mess! Definitely won't do this again with a dark color on top. Don't make my mistake,  I've seen this manicure done with lighter colors on top, and it is great!. :)

Almost has a tie dye effect, very unique! :)

Very funky... very easy, I love it!  Let's Go Wildcats!

Keep It Sweet and Happy Friday!

American Goodies

I had an appointment in Santa Monica last week, and while I was in the area I thought I would make a special trip to American Apparel to check out the polishes.

I am so glad I did.

There was no sunshine that day so these pics are all indoors...Darn "June Gloom"

I picked up three beauties  (3 for $15) and they are great.

First up is "Downtown LA", 2 coats of perfection.  This was a perfect Cherry Red creme. I wore this one immediately and I received a lot of compliments.

My pinkie is still growing out from a bad vertical split, its coming along, but still has a ways to go :)

The other two I grabbed were "Mount Royal" and "Passport Blue".

Mount Royal is a dark dusty periwinkle creme.  That's the best I can describe it.  This is 2 coats, but it was opaque in 1 coat, great formula, no drag no issues, applied nicely.

This is Passport Blue 2 coats, and again this could have been opaque in 1 coat. Its a dark dusty navy creme. Very unique color, so happy I grabbed it.  

The pics make it look black but it is a definite dusty navy creme.

Have you grabbed any of these American Goodies?
