#FloamDay Hip Hip Hooray!!

Happy #FloamDay Everyone!!! If you don't know what Floam is yet or why there is #FloamDay no worries I explain it right here for ya! Now when you here Floam you probably think of the stuff kids play with, or as seen on TV commercials. This Floam is nail polish created by an Indie polish maker Nail-Venturous! And Floam day started thanks to Polly Polish she decided to start a Floam movement! hehehehe So she created a sign up page for everyone that wanted to participate, I was undecided because I didn't know if I would have the time to join in. But I said screw it I'll make time, and then I got a bad ass cold thats been kicking my butt even still today. So this post will be a little late compared to everyone else... sorry! :(

Wanted to do something a little different with Floam but my camera didn't like the neon Pink & Floam Combo. >_< Used Sinful Colors - Pink, Floam Seche Vite top coat and then decided to add a matte top coat Hard Candy - matte-ly in love.

I Won A LadyBug Nail Polish Holder!

I entered Beauty By Krystal's contest and won a LadyBug holder! What is it you ask? It's a polish holder than can lay on it's side, great for those half bottles of polish that makes it easier to get the polish out. :D

Now for some pictures, I am still getting use to my new camera so please forgive any bad pictures.

Bottom of the LadyBug

Profile of LadyBug :)

Its a cute design and it hugs regular size bottles nice and snug, all except for my mini bottles. The round circles on the bottom are rubber to help it from sliding, I'm guessing. I recommend using on a flat surface, without anything underneath it. I used it on a towel it swayed back n forth very easily. If I were using a full bottle of polish that wouldn't have bothered me, but I was using a half full bottle so yea I got peeved a little. Wish it had more weight on the bottom sides, I accidentally kept knocking it to the center when I was using it. =/
Otherwise I would say a perfect nail polish accessory! :)

What do you think? Do you have one, or could you see yourself using one?

Don't forget to check out Beauty By Krystal's blog, she has lots of interesting reviews and
beauty information!! :D

That's right I said BLACK! :D The first picture is blurry but it shows the holo really nice :D
