American Apparel

Happy Friday!  Who has a 3 day weekend?  Any plans for Valentine's Day?  Last year jaded me towards Valentine's Day, so we'll see if my husband redeems himself this year, lol.  Anyways, on to the polish.  Today I have Office, Dynasty, and Downtown LA by American Apparel.  I am sure some of you read some things about American Apparel and the issues with their polish and if you want to read what I found out, you can do so here. 

Office is the mint green, in my opinion.  It's perfect.  Not too green, not too dark, just right.

Dynasty is a dusty light purple creme.

Downtown LA is a great true fire engine red.  I had to have it because of the name.  I had some crazy good times in downtown LA at Al's Bar, ever heard of it?

As of now, you can't buy American Apparel polish.  But, as soon as it becomes available, I will let everyone know!  Cheers everyone-have a great weekend!

Orly~Matte

Just about the time you think the whole matte thing is over, out comes another collection.  This time Orly has come out with 3 matte polishes.  These 3 colors rock!  They aren't exactly matte, I would say they have more of a satin finish.  I got mine at Sallly's and they were $5.99 each. 

Purple Velvet is a hard color to descibe.  It is more of a dark mauve on the purple side rather than purple as the name suggests.  It has a very slight pearl to it.  I really like this one!

Blue Suede is super cool.  I love this color.  It is a medium dusty blue.

Matte Vinyl is black and it is the most matte out of the 3.  It dries to more of a really dark gunmetal, but it still is really awesome!

These polishes took longer to dry and matte up than the other mattes I've tried.  I really like this collection, what do you guys think?
