Joe Fresh Nail Polish Review and Swatches

Joe Fresh is a Canadian brand that is sold in Real Canadian Superstore, Loblaws and Zehrs. Joe Fresh started as a clothing line, and recently they came out with a makeup line, including fabulous nail polish. The man behind the brand is Joseph Mimran, who is also the designer for Club Monaco. Their clothes are actually really nice, and reasonably priced, I have some of their pieces.

The polishes come in cute small round bottles with white tops. The brush is reminiscent of OPI but shorter. You get 6ml in a bottle, so it's about half the size of an OPI. They sell for $4 each or 3/$10. I've been meaning to get some for a while, but the colours that I want were always sold out. I still can't find the light blue, "Powder Blue" anywhere!!! It's driving me nuts cause it's such a pretty colour.

 I picked up 6 bottles recently, as you can see in the above picture. They are all pastel shades, except for Tomato, which is a bright ketchup-y red. There is a fair amount of colours available, you can view them all on their webpage, there are metallics and nudes too. I am more into these colours right now.

 Joe Fresh "Kiss" is a purple toned pink. This is two coats, it applied pretty smoothly.

Joe Fresh "Pink" is just that, a pretty pink, on the pale side. Very runny and watery, hard to apply, needed three coats. 

Joe Fresh "Coral" is my favourite from the ones that I got. It's a peachy orange colour, I guess coral it is. This is 2 coats, application was good. This is what I wanted Essie's Tart Deco to be.

Joe Fresh "Tomato" is just that tomato red, bright kinda orange toned red. This was okay, 2 coats. I think this colour may grow on me over time.

Joe Fresh "butter" is a pale yellow. This was a problem child to apply, this was 3 coats. It was uber streaky on first coat and got better as  you added but, it was messy. Sorry for the horrible swatch.

Joe Fresh "Faded Violet" is a pale purple, it's gorgeous. This was 2 coats, application was really good. I think this one similar to OPI's Done out in Deco, but I'd have to compare the two to be sure. This one was hard to find too, always sold out.

I really enjoy these polishes, they are cheap and the packaging is really cute. I really wanted to the mint one and Powder Blue especially, but they are always sold out. I think they really need to do a better job at re-stocking the shelves cause some of these colours are really popular and are always out, I've tried 3 stores now and nothing.
