AMERICAN APPAREL 'NEON VIOLET'

American Apparel 'Neon Violet' - Selfridges (part of a 3 for £17 deal)

Writing this has made me realise that I haven't posted a nails post in absolutely ages; I've not really worn very exciting colours lately though because I've been trying to let my nails get a bit healthier. This nail polish is my first by American Apparel (I do have another I got at the same time) and is a very bright neon purple shade called 'Neon Violet'. I got this as part of a three for £17 deal - I kept two and gave one to my mum - which I think is super expensive for nail polish but the bottles are a really big and I technically got these for free along with my other weekend buys from Selfridges.

This polish came out completely opaque after two coats which is what I'd expect really; I would maybe do three coats for a really neon look. It was easy to apply and dried reasonably quick though it did dry matte so I used a top coat. One not so great thing was that after only three days it has started to chip considerably, maybe it's my rubbish nails or maybe it's the formula...who knows.

I don't think I would buy any more American Apparel nail polishes but this is a really lovely colour and I might try it again with three coats to see if that's better. Have you tried American Apparel Nail Lacquer? What do you think of this shade?
