Happy Tuesday Loves!
Today I’m doing a special post to participate in “Polish Days“ which is a cool idea that was created by a couple of other nail bloggers. Basically, a bunch of us nail bloggers will have a particular day that we collectively agree to post on one particular polish. I think it’s a fun and neat idea to see how the same polish looks on lots of different people.
The polish chosen for the first official “Polish Day” is the awesome bottle of fun that is Floam by Nail-Venturous.
I’m sure you guys have seen this swatched a million and one times already because it’s been one of the most popular polishes on the nail scene this year, but I haven’t posted on it yet, so I’m glad I saved it for today.
Floam is a mix of matte glitters in neon blue and yellow-green, floating happily in a clear base.
I’m gonna be honest and say that the first time I tried Floam, I was disappointed. It was gritty and thick and hard to do clean up on and I was so sad that it wasn’t all I’d expected it to be. I got my bottle from Ninja Polish on the first day that the site went live, so I considered myself super lucky to have snagged a bottle, and that’s the only thing that kept me from swapping it away. So I set it aside for a couple of weeks, and then I decided to layer it instead of building it up on its own, and voila! I stopped hating it and I fell in love with it for the beauty it is! 🙂
Anyway, in the pics below I layered 2 coats of Floam over 2 coats of China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise (which I happen to think is the perfect “underwear” for it 😉 ) . Peep it:

And here’s a pic of Floam with one of the rings that I made with it (available in my Etsy shop).

Floam is awesomesauce right?
It’s a pain in the ass to remove, but I think it’s so worth it.
So now that you’ve seen my swatches of this lovely, I encourage you to check out the other wonderful bloggers that are sporting Floam fingers today:
Enjoy and have a terrific Tuesday!
