Hi all! Here is the polish featured on Friday, Floam, an indie polish made by Nail-Venturous. This is only the second indie polish I liked enough to buy. Floam is neon blue and neon yellow matte glitter in a clear base.
As I've said before, I'm not usually a big fan of most of the indie polishes out there. But this one was too unique to pass up. Plus, I have all of the earrings I wore back in the 80s, and this polish totally reminded me of one of my favorite pairs!
On to the deets on Floam!
The formula was a little thick and finicky. I had a hard time controlling it, so I wasn't able to get a clean cuticle edge. The glitter also seemed to be very attracted to my cuticles! I found that the first stroke did not have much glitter, but the following strokes covered well. After a little trial and error, I found that it is best to do a light first coat and thicker second coat. This can be layered, but I decided to wear it on its own. You are looking at pre-cleanup, and cleanup was no fun! Floam dries matte, and it is a bit of a top coat muncher. I topped with two coats of SV and it still was not very smooth. All in all, a very cool polish that is definitely unique! You can purchase this through Ninja Polish or the Nail-Venturous etsy shop. However, the owner, Amy, is currently taking a break.
SH Double Duty and SV as base and top.
