Sorry it has been a while since my last nail polish posting, needless to say I’ve been lagging on the nail polishing aspect of my life, and it is totally unacceptable, I know. 🙂
The latest color I painted my nails with was Palm Springs by American Apparel. It is a light orange (i.e. peach) color that I felt was a perfect spring or Easter color. I am not orange’s biggest fan, unless it is paired with royal blue to show some Gators spirit, but I actually really like this pastel orange. It looks nice on darker/ more tanner skin tones, and I was really happy it wasn’t overkill on skin tone. I was afraid it might be to pale or light of an orange on me and it would clash with my skin tones, but it didn’t do that at all.
In terms of its application, I was really really impressed with the coating. Since it belongs to the lighter group, in terms of colors I expected to take at least 3 coats to hide the Sheerness. After 2 coats it was completely opaque and I loved it! The last thing I want is to have so many coats of nail polish piled up on my nails!
Without further adieu, here is Palm Springs, American Apparel: ENJOY!!
‘Till next time… 🙂
Your nail polish application looks great! Looks like you ended up taking Keely’s advice! 🙂 I like this color. I secretly love all things orange… hehe
Thanks Joyce! I actually ended up waiting a day to take the picture and scraped the excess off under water. I plan on trying the tip she gave me, I just need some paint brushes 🙂 You secretly love all things orange huh? why not openly love all things orange? haha I’m not usually an orange fan either!
That does look great with your skin! I used AA Le Espirit for Good Friday/Easter and got many compliments from my family 🙂 Yay for light nail polish and dark skin
Thanks Katrina! Ooh so you ended up buying L’ Espirit from American Apparel, I’m glad your family loved it…it is an awesome color and it looks great on you!! Did you buy any other colors from AA? I cannot wait to use L’Espirit yet (can you believe you’re the only one that’s used my bottle still) haha….ooh and I can’t wait for us to do our DL nails so I can finally do a post on it!!!
