American Apparel Nail Lacquer in Mouse

I often walk past the American Apparel shop in Covent Garden, but I've resisted going in because everyone in there looks like they've just stepped out of the 'Being a Dickhead's Cool' video - if you don't know what I'm talking about it's here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVmmYMwFj1I (warning, they say 'dickhead' quite a lot). 

I finally went in last week and bought this nail polish. Mouse is a straight taupe cream, perfectly balanced between brown and grey. It's more flattering on my pale olive hands than Rescue Beauty Lounge Grunge was; Grunge has a bit too much pink/mauve in it for me - you can see Grunge on Helen of Just-Nice-Things.co.uk here. 

I got on well with the formula; two coats gave me good coverage and I found the brush quite easy to control. I think the price is good too at £7 each, or you can choose three colours for £17, particularly considering it's a 3-Free formulation.

  4. I don't think my love of greige will ever waver, this is gorgeous and it suits you very nicely. AA have some lovely shades that I have been very tempted by but haven't yet tried out. Thanks for the link to that youtube vid, it is hilarious. New age fun with a vintage feel. Lol

  7. I love this colour. I have one too and it gets plenty of use.

    Dalston is full of Dickheads. You ought to see them all. It's a little daunting. But they never stay in a place for long. I am sure they will find the next COOL place soon enough.
