American Apparel Butter




American Apparel Butter

Oh yes, this new color from the American Apparel line really lives up to it's name... it is like but-tah. It's a lovely pale yellow creme- dare I say, butter? :-P Makes me hungry! This is just another one of the American Apparel colors that is topping the list of colors I adore in my collection. It applies well in 3 coats- came very close with 2, but didn't quite make it, so I had to add a third to make it completely opaque.

Opacity scale (1-5): 2.5

Use for Konad: not bad, but not totally opaque when stamped.

Finish: Cream, three coats to be opaque.

Daily Nail Reviews


Since I have to use so many different polishes for my nail art, and get a lot of questions about opacity, finish, use for Konad, etc., I thought that I would have a separate part of the site used for reviews and swatches.

Now, I know that my nails aren't as pretty as some of the other bloggers, and my cuticles aren't perfect, but my aim is not to delve so much into the arena of the likes of Scrangie, Vampy Varnish, The Swatchaholic, or All Lacquered Up, but more to give information on how well a polish works for nail art, it's opacity level, as well as how well it works for Konad. (things I know a bit about! :-P) I will also post about Konad/fauxnad plates, brushes, or other tools that I use in my endeavors.

I hope that you enjoy this section of the blog, and find it informative and useful! Be sure to follow this blog as well as The Daily Nail for up-to-date swatches/reviews, etc.

XOXO Gossi.. wait, I mean, Daily Nail ;)
