Giveaway Winners and Nail-Venturous Humble Bee

My party is finally over :) It was a fun day and a very very busy week with planning and prep work. This is what I wore for my party. I had a Steelers shirt on that was Grey, White, Yellow and Black and I thought this would be a cute match. I'm actually a Jets fan lol, but Kelly is a Steelers fan so sometimes I wear it for him.

Nail-Venturous Humble Bee.

I have this in the 'new' bottle style, which I am not honestly a fan of. Kind of makes it look generic in a way. Oh well, I wasn't able to nab a bottle before they changed them so I'm stuck with this one lol. 

You can purchase this at Ninja Polish for those of you that like it. On to the nail pictures...

How freakin amazing is this?!!! I LOVE this. The layering combo isn't anything to call home about. My base color is Wet n Wild Black which is cheap, but effective! 

 

These pictures where takin' late in the day - after my party. They went threw party prepping, cupcake frosting, decorating, and a ton more.  No chips, no wear marks - gotta love Wet n Wild Black for great wear (at least for me). I didn't even refresh the top coat, and it's still super shiny :)  I used one coat of NYC Grand Central Station and one coat of Seche Vite Top Coat earlier in the morning.

 The pictures really speak for themselves. I'm in love with this polish. It was super easy to apply too. The only suggestion I make with this combo is make sure your Black base coat is dry and that you layer it with a top coat prior to applying Humble Bee. I got a few bald spots on my black since I didn't use a top coat to seal the black.

Do I look like a bumble Bee? Well, I'm deathly allergic to them lol but I still love this polish.

What do you guys think? Do you like this one? Do you have it on your wishlist? All I can say is it's the Bee Knees. Yup, I said it. I'm an official DORK lol :)

The Indie Showdown: Floam versus other Indie Sand Polishes

Today I have a really fun post for you guys. I finally got my hands on Nail-Venturous's FLOAM! It took be forever to finally get it, but it's mine *insert evil happy laugh here* lol! 

A lot of you have seen a million swatches of Floam, so I decided to do something different for you all today. I'm going swatch compare it to other Indie Polishes that are similar. Since Floam's birth, a lot of other 'sand' type polishes have emerged throughout the indie world, so I thought it would be fun to compare them all. Hopefully my swatches today can help you decide which you like best! 

This is three coats each on their own. 

As you can see there are no dupes here. Each is individual and has it's own characteristics. Yes my Good to Go is slightly pink - I used it on red polish my first day lol.
