American Apparel Mouse and Water Decals

I love neutrals and I love these nail decals so this mani was a match made for me! Take a look!

I think these colors looked great together! I put a decal on each ring and thumb nail. Click HERE to go to my post explaining the process. For this mani I used 3 coats of American Apparel's Mouse over Orly Bonder and sealed with Out the Door.  The decals were added the next day. 

I did a similar manicure this week (the mani I'm posting now is a few weeks old) and I tried not putting topcoat over the decals.  They remained tacky (the clear borders did at least) and picked up fuzz and dust. So lesson learned: always topcoat the water decals!

American Apparel Nail Polish Mega Haul + Skittle Manicure

Sooo you may have heard of the large lot of American Apparel polishes on sale on Ebay, which is where these are from.  The lot was for 17 polishes for $15.99 with free shipping.  Considering I haven't gotten any new polishes lately for any kind of deal, I was super excited but a bit skeptical.  I want to share with you what the lot contains as well as skittles mani I did with them.

Pinto - Passport Blue - Peacock - Mount Royal - Hassid

Berry - Poppy - Rose Bowl - Dynasty - Coney Island

Mouse - Factory Grey - Cotton - Palm Springs - Manila

Downtown LA - Hunter

So I naturally wanted to wear all of these at once but since that isn't possible, I settled on five that stood out to me the most.

Manila - Peacock - Poppy - Dynasty - Coney Island

All of these are over Orly Bonder and Sealed with Out the Door.  Each are two coats except Manila and Coney Island, which took three coats.  The formula on these were excellent; I'm thrilled to have 17 new cremes in my collection that will certainly get lots of use!
