GO SPURS EFFING GO!

This has been an interruption on your regularly scheduled program.
I need to find my Spurs shirt. Also, I am aware this is a horrible manicure. I don’t give a fuck.

sparkly, the new black

Sometimes, I really hate my blog post titles. Like the one above -.-“. Sometimes, I also hate myself. Who doesn’t?

Today, we are making acquaintance with  a Canadian polish. Exciting, eh?
*insert howl of “I AM CANADIAN!” here, hold the “eh” please*

Joe Fresh is a Canadian brand hailing from the great north and it’s on the affordable, fun-colours, colours-come-and-go-and-never-come-back route. Polishes are $4 CAD for each 6 ml bottle or 3 for $10 CAD.

Joe Fresh - Gunmetal

I’ve owned this particular polish for almost two years and it’s astonishing that this is the first time I’m wearing it alone (with top coat). I’ve always wore it matte, usually with the Joe Fresh matte top coat. It’s that perfect metallic finish for that perfect suede finish.

One gripe I have with these bottles are the caps. They are giant and hard to work with when painting. The brush and stem are fairly short to accommodate for the stubby bottle and the oversized cap just mushrooms over your hand and nails when you are painting. But the brush itself is extremely workable. Wide but not too wide and has a nice sturdy flow to it.

Next, I shall contemponder what my Christmas mani will be. I’m thinking something to do with the Milani glitters. Sparkly!!!!!!!!

matte metallic mayhem

Check out them mad alliteration skillz I’ve got, yo.

Between all those campaigns to proposal, articles to write, posters to design, people to please and lives to ruin, I ain’t got no time to contemplate nail colour or wait for that bomb ass polish to dry. And so I closed my eyes and pulled these two babies out of my stash.
China Glaze – Stone Cold
Collection: Capitol Colors | The Hunger Games
Orly – Luxe w/ matte top coat
Collection: Foil FX | Spring 2010

Stone Cold is the only full size polish I own from the Hunger Games collection. It’s a standard matte black metallic polish, you know, goes on opaque in one coat and dries like a dream. Luxe is my favourite gold foil and it’s my go to statement accent for the holiday season.

Oh a side note, I really really really really wanted Harvest Moon from the Hunger Games collection, but it was sold out everywhere! EVERYWHERE! =[ It’s so sad. *tear*
