I discovered this beautiful color on a fellow MUA nailboarder (p0key) and said, "What is that?" She told me that it was her absolute favorite brand, American Apparel and it was called African Violet. Needless to say, I was there within days to find this gorgeous purple.
Color Description: This is an extremely rich, comic book, BOOM, POW, WOW, purple. It's a medium to dark creme that photographs on the blue side but definitely has a hint of magenta in there somewhere. I attempted to capture the true hue of African Violet... This is definitely one to own, ladies!
Similar To: I, honestly, have nothing to compare this with in my collection. It's uniquely different for a purple.
This Look: One coat of Starting Over After Artificials, two coats of African Violet and one coat of Mega Shine.
Price Point/Availability: These are sold online or in-store at American Apparel for $6 ea. or 3/$15 and can go for as low as 7/$32 online.
Alright, ladies, I'm going to go make some tea and try to kick this cold! Have a nice and well-polish weekend for me, because I won't be going anywhere for a while. :)
