Nail-Venturous - Girly Girl

Good morning! Actually, it is not really a good morning, because I planned on sleeping in today.. But I woke up at 5am. The crack of dawn!
I've spent my morning trying to be productive so here is an early blog post for your viewing pleasure.

Nail-Venturous - Girly Girl
Today I'm showing you one of my most favorite polishes. It is a favorite of mine not only because it is freakin' adorable but also because I love the girl who made it!
Amy from I'm Feeling Nail-Venturous makes some of the best hand-made/indie polishes, and I am so happy to own some of them.

Girly Girl is a light pinky-purple base with lots of yummy glitter inside. It's so delicate but also super interesting!

I got so many compliments on my nails while wearing this polish. People couldn't believe that it was just a nail polish! I spent a lot of time trying to explain that it was glitter in a milky base. Haha.
(I didn't even bother trying to tell most people that it was hand-made. Didn't wanna confuse too many people.)

I'm definitely a girly girl when it comes to nails, and this polish is just perfect for me!
Thank you so much Amy for this polish!

Speaking of being a girly girl... I am also a girly girl when it comes to shoes. Check out the ones I just got in the mail yesterday...

OMFG. Right?!
This calls for a matching mani...

Nail-Venturous - Evil Barbie

I teased you guys yesterday with a closeup of this polish... And now it's time to reveal it!
This polish is very special to me because I'm one of a few lucky people who own it!

Nail-Venturous - Evil Barbie
I've said this two or three times before, but I'll say it again! Amy from I'm Feeling Nail-Venturous is one of the sweetest people ever. Who makes some of the most awesome polishes ever. And she sent me this one.
Just look at that amazing creation! Hot pink with black glitter! Ooooh, Evil Barbie, how I love you.

You could wear this on its own but I wanted to conserve polish so I layered it over China Glaze Dance Baby which was such a good choice, because it let the base color of Evil Barbie really pop!

Here's a super awful messy picture, but I wanted to quickly show you just how bright the base of Barbie is! That's one very thin coat over Dance Baby, versus Dance Baby alone.
I layered it over a few pinks on a nail wheel to decide what to use, and this one is just perfect.

Beyond the great pink color and the awesome black glitters, there is also a beautiful shimmer!

I just looooooooooove love love it. Thank you SO much Amy! You are a doll!

I decided that this polish needed some matching stamping... which finally gave me a reason to use the Barbie stamp!

I thought this mani was pretty clever!

The Barbie image is from Konad m71.
The skull image is from an unnamed plate from eBay.
The chains image is from Bundle Monster BM12.

I love that little skull!

What do you guys think of this great polish and the matching mani?
I hope you love it as much as I do!

Nail-Venturous Lacquers - Floam! (+ stamping!)

I've got a great polish to show you today. I'm sure most of you are familiar with this awesome "indie polish" already but now it's my turn to show it to you!

I remember quite some time ago, a girl by the name of I'm Feeling Nail-Venturous was commenting on my blog posts. She followed me, so I followed her. Then somewhere along the way, we became friends via Facebook, and then suddenly, Amy started making frankens, and she quickly became one of the most popular "indie polish" makers around! And she deserves it, too.
I'm glad to be friends with Amy and I'm so happy for her success!
I'm also very happy that she swapped me this polish for my own franken, Rebecca Likes Cupcakes. (Amy loves frankens. All of them.)

Nail-Venturous - Floam
Check out this neon glitter! This polish is just so cool and original, I love the color combo.
Here I layered one generous coat of Floam over Color Club Twiggie but you can use it without a base color, too. I was just too lazy to do 2-3 coats of glitter. Haha!

Adding Twiggie underneath makes it a little bit brighter but I like the effect! From afar the polish looks mostly like a nice shade of neon green but then when you look close, you can see the two different colors that merge together to create the polish!
It is of course a little bit textured but 2 coats of topcoat solves it.

I haven't done stamping in a long time, so I decided to try some stamping over my Floam! And I'm glad I did because it turned out great.

I stamped this cool abstract image from Konad m65 using Wet N Wild Black Creme.

I love this mani and I am definitely going to keep it on for a few more days!

If you haven't been able to get your hands on this yet, keep an eye on Amy's Etsy store as well as on Ninja Polish. But beware of Floam-impersonaters! Hahaha. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I guess!
