American Apparel Giveaway!

UPDATE: The contest is open to international readers :)

I've made no secret of my undying love for American Apparel nail polishes. For a fledgling nail polish line, I think they've really hit the mark. I'm a big fan of creme finishes, which comprises all but 2 of their polishes (Echo Park & TopCoat/Basecoat), so naturally each and every one of these beauties has found their way into my collection, some I even have bought multiples of! (Cotton and Hassid, I'm lookin' at you!)

Well, in an exciting twist, the lovely people at American Apparel have offered me the chance to share my love of their polishes with YOU, my dear readers.

The lucky winner will receive a mix of 4 American Apparel polishes!

Gold & Green Funky French

So to take a break from the Water Marbling, I decided to show you a funky french I did last week. Oh and before we get to this mani..............I BROKE A NAIL!!! Grrrr, I slammed it in a car door :( It broke my middle finger nail, down far!!! I'm debating on putting a fake on, or ljust letting it be, and grow out. I don't know, this sucks!! Okay, whew, rant over, now on to the mani. For this I used the brand 10, color #415 for the base, Ulta Urban Jungle for the tips, and Claires 14 Karats for the Konad.

This is 2 coats of the base, 10, #415

Then with the Konad on :)

And the final mani :)



A Patchwork mani with Across the Universe

Remember how I did a few manis using OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Matte??? Well here is another, lol.
I actually did this just for fun, when I had the OPI Deborah Lippmann, and black in my purse for like 2 days. I didn't wear this out, but just tried it to see how it would look. I actually really liked how it turned out, even though the black is kind of hard to see, oh well. I used Deborah Lippmann Across the Universe, Sinful Black on Black and OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Matte.
