American Apparel - Cameo Blue

**I had to file my nails down again. The corner of my middle fingernail broke (you can actually see it in the last two posts) and I wasn't liking the way it looked, so they're all shorter.)
APPLICATION: Smooth
COATS: 1 (oh yes!)
TOPCOAT?: On photos without dots: No; On final mani with polka dots: Yes, 1 coat of Beauty Secrets Fast Finish (I'm really liking this topcoat - especially in the large 2.5oz bottle)
SOURCE: American Apparel store in LA
COMMENTS: Gorgeous 1-coat blue. It was difficult to photograph, so these photos aren't the best of the lot, but are the closest I could get  to the real color. Oh, and of course we've got some dots - smaller ones and more spaced out.






UP NEXT: Trying out nail foils.  Do you have any polish requests? See my spreadsheet.

  7. Thanks for your comments!
    @jbrobeck, Miss Blue, and Shadow:I'd recommend this one if you can get your
    hands on it. When I saw it in the bottle, I thought "pretty blue", but when I put it on it was even better! It has a hint of grey in it, and I realized I don't have any other blues in my collection like it, so... Then of course, at one thick coat, how can it not be a keeper?

    @rmcandlelight: The topcoat I've been using most recently is from Sally Beauty Supply. I bought the large 2.5oz bottle. Here is what it looks like: (http://www.sallybeauty.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-SA-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=SBS-161260&dwvar_SBS-161260_webSize=2.5000+OZ) They definitely have the small bottle in stores though, if you'd like to try it out.

    I hope you love the AAs as much as I've been liking mine! Can't wait to see some on you!

    Ooh, and I'm so glad you suggested something for me to wear (Del Sol heartbreaker and more reds). Will do. The Del Sol will have to be on a day when I have some sunlight though...

    Have a great day! (Fixed link)
