American Apparel Cameo Blue, Army Jacket, MacArthur Park

Right before Christmas, DBF and I headed to the mall for some last minute shopping. We decided to split up to cover more ground, and on my way to A&F to make some returns, I found myself inside an American Apparel. Before I knew it, I had walked out with 3 of their new colours :D...

AA Cameo Blue - I really like this! It may be a new Top 20 for me! Great formula! After I took these pics, I realized this reminds me of a darker Essie Lapis of Luxury :)



I don't have anything similar in my stash, but I made some comparisons so you can get an idea of how different it is from other blues:

Comparison: AA Cameo Blue and OPI SSFS

AA Army Jacket - The formula on this one isn't as good as the other AAs I have. It's rather thin and watery, and I used three coats. Still, I really like this colour!



It reminded me of Essie Sew Psyched, so I did a comparison:

AA MacArthur Park - The formula on this was a just a touch thick, but application was manageable. Nice and opaque!



It's one of those ugly greens, so I compared it with RBL No More War. Pretty different when you look at them side by side, huh? I don't own OPI Who the Shrek Are You, but I wonder if it is close to this?
