Nail-Venturous! Humble Bee and Robin Laid an Egg

First, renamed the blog. Chose All the Lacquer from the awesome Hyperbole and a Half post everyone knows but I don't know, I wasn't really happy with it. Was listening to the radio and Kip Moore's Somethin' 'Bout A Truck came on (yes yes, I'm a country fan. A lesbian atheist country fan, we do exist) and I was like oh that's perfect so I changed it XD

But enough about that, today I'm showing a couple more from the amazing Amy over at Nail-Venturous. If you've been following the indies (and you know I have. How are these creators so awesome?) then you know she's the next big thing and everyone is vying for her polishes and she's selling out super fast and it's awesome! I was lucky to snag these two (and Pinkerbell which I still haven't tried) in her second to last etsy sale (picked up 3 more in the last one, just got the shipping notice as I was typing this so I'm super excited!).

I am such a sucker for these sparse glitters in various milky creamy bases (have Candeo Jellybean on now) so Robin Laid an Egg is perfect for me! Put one coat on over OPI Skull and Glossbones but it'll be easily opaque in 2 coats if you're not like me and don't need undies for everything.

The last one is mattefied because, well, we know my feelings on matte. Love how it turned out!

Humblebee is the neon yellow/green and black version of the famous Floam and I loooooove it! I wore this over Zoya Mitzi and a-England Lancelot (and you can see where I didn't totally let it dry before applying Humblebee and the red of Lancelot came through. Can you believe I don't have a pure black np? Just vampies that look black. I fixed that though, ordered a-England Camelot since Adina is having a 30% off sale on her site for Tristam's first birthday. Code is Tristam and you should so hit it up since all a-Englands are pure love) although tragically I didn't grab a pic of just the undies which is sad since it's a fun combo. I really like the alternating polishes look. I was wearing this at work and our night shift girl was like "Wow is that some special nail polish" and I was just like oh honey, let me tell you a story.

Nail-Venturous is pretty hard to get right now since they're in such high demand but refreshing and lightening quick fingers and absolutely no thinking or second guessing might get you some if you're around when she restocks. And you know you want some.

NerdLacquer It's Just a Flesh Wound Over a-England Lancelot

Oddly, when I chose this combo the only thing I thought was how I needed a black to put Just a Flesh Wound over and Lancelot was the closest I had (technically it's a blackened red but it's soooo dark. I actually really love Lancelot and wish I'd taken a pic of it alone because it's not as stark as a lot of blacks and as always with a-England, the formula is perfection) but the first time I typed it together a little song popped into my head

His name is Lancelot
He likes tight pants a lot
He likes to dance-a-lot

How could I not make the Spamalot connection? *headdesk* I mean obviously I knew the Monty Python ref

"Tis but a scratch"
"A scratch? Your arm's off!"
"No it's not."
"Well what's that then?"
"I've had worse."

And on and on til the namesake line. I love that movie so freaking much. First time I saw it was right before Christmas my freshmen year of high school. My World History teacher showed it every year to his freshmen and oh it was a wonderful Monty Python introduction. I've seen it and loads of others soooo many times.


I think It's Just a Flesh Wound is such a perfect NP representation of that scene.
