Guess what I got today y’all

Stuart Semple

Aw. Yiss. Motherfuckin’ COLOURIEST COLOURS.

I have already started the process of adding a bit at a time and letting it mix in, to make Pinkest Pink nail polish. It’s not up to Final Saturation yet, but it’s getting there. Yes, I know it’s not a cosmetics-grade pigment. But it IS non-toxic and therefore I figure safe enough considering that nail polish doesn’t even qualify for “non-toxic” rating anyway. I promise not to sue Stuart if I get weird fingernail cancer or something.

And here’s a comparison of BLACK vs. cheap black craft paint (yeah I did a lousy job of the painting, I kinda was trying to work fast because I forgot that stuff packaged at low elevation tends to explode a little when opened at high elevation and I didn’t want the big ol’ paint glop that escaped tube containment to dry out unused).

I’ll do a comparison with my (other) good art paints if anyone’s interested, but yeah, that is one black-ass black.
