Happy Gray Thanksgiving!

Happy thanksgiving, Canadians!
Alright, so I was going to swatch the black matte from Icing, but the application was just SO thick... It was driving me crazy.
Instead, here's Steel-Her Heart by Revlon.
Application wise? This was a nightmare. It came with a teeny tiny brush and it was streaky. This was two (maybe three?) coats, and it still wasn't opaque at the base of my nail.
Here it is again, with one coat of the Matte Top Coat from Joe Fresh Style. When matte, you can see the transparency at the base of the nail, especially on my pointer finger, yes?

All in all, the color is great, the application ? Not so much. But I did feel very chic wearing this colour.
In case you're daring enough to purchase this, I bought mine at my local Zellers for under $5.

Claire's Innocent & Daring Mood Polish

Sorry for the break, I had a cold and didn't feel up to much!
Anyways, here is Innocent/Daring by Claire's.
Three coats, no top coat.
This stuff is really cool if you have long tips! Since this "mood changing" polish is based off your body temperature, if your body is room temp. it looks like this. Otherwise, when I go to school they turn all grey, like cement (my school is freezing!).
In between transitions from the two colours, when they're switching, it does look very...Sickly. My mom said it reminded her of dead people and zombies coming back to life, but I liked it. It's definitely something to pick up for Halloween, if you wanna be a dead person...Or a dying person.
Application wise? I love these mood ones. When they dry, the nailbed changes colour, so I know when to put on another coat. I took three coats to get this look.

Next time? A two matte polishes from Icing!
