Bonnie gets her hands on Joe Fresh Style's new nail polish collection.
When it comes to my makeup routine, some would call it safe, while others would simply call me a big old beauty wimp.
The one exception has always been my willingness to embrace out-of-the-ordinary nail polish. Mushroom grey, deep emerald, blood red or bubblegum pink, there’s not one colour I wouldn't attempt to rock (even if it’s only for a day).
That's why when the team at Joe Fresh Style swung by the office offering up a quick mani to sample their new line of lacquers, I knew my shade of choice would probably raise some eyebrows. But at $4 a pop, where else can you get such beauty statement bang for your buck?
A perfect match to the chips in mint chocolate ice cream, the retro candy-coloured ‘Mint’ proved irresistible. Like a teeny tiny time machine, it zapped me back to a time when Cindy Lauper ruled the airways and snap bracelets and neon windbreakers passed as fashionable.
Chock it up to being on the cusp of a milestone birthday, but having my nails dipped in day-glow mint makes me feel fresh and flirty and even a little coquettish, all without having to commit to something more permanent (like that cringe-inducing perm in the sixth grade).
Besides, if I feel my beauty ways are bit too avante-garde, I can always stuff my hands in my pocket.
