Floam is a mix of yellow-green and blue glitter in a clear base. This is hands down the most interesting glitter I have ever seen, it's neon glitter! I don't even know how to describe this guys, it's glitter but it doesn't sparkle...it just looks awesome and it has SO much depth to it. I wore this on a trip to Ulta on Saturday and the cashier girl literally grabbed my hand and was like WHAT IS THAT?!? I was like guuuuuuurl...let me tell you all about frankens, I think I successfully enabled her to do some shopping on etsy. Formula wise this was on the thick side but it was easy to apply, if you have this it is one you will want to wait a couple minutes between coats. I used 3 coats for full coverage, it did look really great at 2 coats so if you're careful you could get away with that also. This is pretty dense but you could layer it without a problem if that's more your style. It dries matte and with texture but it's easy enough to get shiny and smooth with a couple coats of top coat...it ate top coat a little but I was good with a coat of Gealous followed by Sally Hansen Insta Dri.
This was incredibly hard to photograph, I think the mixture of neon and glitter is hard to get a clear photo of. I took over 100 pictures trying to get a good clear one to show you a close up but it just wasn't happening. I guarantee your eyeballs will pop out of your head if you see this in person!

I bought my bottle of Floam from ninjapolish.com, it was $9 and the bottle is full sized. Floam is sold out right now but as far as I know it will be back! Amy is also opening her own etsy shop, it's set to open on March 19th, you can find it here! I'm not 100% sure if Floam will be available on Amy's etsy but let's hope so!
I was already 'too old" when they came out with floam, but i always thought it looked cool as hell. I'm loving the pix, so i imagine it's that much better in person!
ReplyDeleteWoow, this is very nice! :)
ReplyDeleteGiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirl let me tell you all about how badly I need this
ReplyDeleteI had this in my cart and waited too long, I want to kick myself!!! This is amazing, I will definitely be grabbing it as soon as its available again!
ReplyDeleteLooks absolutely awesome!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to get my hands on a bottle. I've been lusting after that polish ever since I saw it on her blog. Such want!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I have to have this! This is the coolest glitter EVER, and how perfect are the colors for spring?! Of course it's sold out - grrrr - I swear the cool polishes are always sold out when I try to buy them!
ReplyDeleteOh this is a dream!! I'm in love..
ReplyDeleteThat is AMAZING looking. I am definitely going to buy some!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing looking. I am definitely going to buy some!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo interesting, looks like a color blind test to me!!
ReplyDeleteI thought this one was kinda cool. I wonder if it bleeds at all because I've never seen neon glitter before! Doesn't seem to now but it's very very awesome.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, this is 1000% awesome! I remember playing with the floamy stuff as a kid! <3
ReplyDeleteWow! This is so cool!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Definitely checking out her etsy page. I love the depth this has to it, so original and fun. (first time commenter, but I absolutely LOVE your site. Fabulous!)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAmaziiingg :OOO
ReplyDeleteOMG this looks so freaking cool! I must get this!
ReplyDeleteI love Floam and it's sister-polishes Orange You Unique??!! and Pinkerbell!! Amy is such a sweetheart. I'm so happy everyone is loving her creations!! Beautiful swatches!! :)
ReplyDeletewow. i remember floam. mine was pink and purple. anyway you managed to get this mani so smooth it doesn't even look like polish. your nails look like polish strips. very cool though.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty freaking cool! :)
ReplyDeleteCool polish!
ReplyDeleteomg i love this!!! I may just order my first franken after this! :)
ReplyDeletethose 2 polishes are #1 & 2 on my "I need to buy this polish immediately list" I can't wait for them to be in stock! Amy makes amazing stuff, I'm so glad everyone likes it...that must be so exciting for her!
ReplyDeleteI love this polish, I think it will be Amy's "signature" franken!!! I need to order some asap when her shop opens. I am counting down the days!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteThis one is so great it looks exactly like the floam I love and remember as a kid!
ReplyDeleteSo it's not actually made of floam?
ReplyDeleteOh.... my.....God! I have to have this, right now. My son's therapist just gave him floam (under it's new name) for his birthday and I made off with one of the colors. I love the polish.
ReplyDeleteI sooooo want this color. It's just freakin' awesome all around.
ReplyDeletelol I wish it was, removal would be so much easier!
ReplyDeleteActually your photos already made my eyeballs go *pop* ;) This is crazy but such an interesting and unique polish, I haven't seen anything like Floam before! Need to stalk NinjaPolish from now on...
ReplyDeletethis is the COOLEST polish i've seen in a while!! wow! so creative!! thanks for sharing! :-D
ReplyDeleteLove the depth of this polish!
ReplyDeleteMy jaw dropped to the floor when I first saw this also over on the Nail Venturous site. I cannot wait until either Amy puts it in her soon to come etsy shop or Nijia get it back in stock. Like you said, I have never seen anything like this before. Thanks for telling me it will need the Gelous so I don't let it eat half a bottle of top coat.
ReplyDeleteI NEED THIS IN MY LIFE! It looks exactly like Floam I love it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! I am so happy you like Floam!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! I am so happy you like floam! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this!!!
ReplyDeleteWhoah that's amazing! Must have!
ReplyDeleteYesss my Floam arrived yesterday!!! SOO can't wait, Friday after I get home from work it's the first thing I am doing!!! LOL. Tempted to even wear it to work. TOOO awesome. I had a sick obsession with floam as a child, it's true.
ReplyDeletelove Love LOVE! I have to be honest that I have seen much new in nail polishes in 2012 that seems much different than what I already have in my collection (except for flakies)... but this I am excited about! I hope I am able to purchase it soon!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I think it's a great looking polish! I don't know if I'll pick it up or not though, seeing your gorgeous swatches however makes that tempting! :D Thanks for the awesome pics and review! :D
ReplyDeleteOoooooooo I just got this in the mail yesterday, along with that Jessica Iridecsent Eye you showed us a few weeks ago!! They're both awesomee!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I think I *need* this. I saw the picture when you posted it to Twitter and I was hoping it would look something like this from the name. There used to be this stuff I played with as a kid that was called Floam that looked like this (kind of like Play-Doh, but foam), so that's why I was hoping it resembled that - and it does!
ReplyDeleteLOL And I just noticed after sending my comment that you actually talked about Floam up there. I missed that sentence somehow.
ReplyDeleteWOW what a beauty!
ReplyDeleteHOLY WOW!! This is so cool looking!! I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is the coolest frickin' thing I have ever seen! I have some indie polishes, I don't buy them that often but I must have this one!
ReplyDeleteWHAT?! This isn't layered already?! I was looking at the photos thinking "wow, that base colour really sets the glitter off!" It's such good coverage for 3 coats, I love glitters that cover so well! This is really gorgeous! x
ReplyDeleteWHAT?! This isn't layered already?! Before I read the post I was drooling over the photos thinking that the base colour really set the glitter off. I LOVE glitters that cover so well, this is gorgeous! x

ReplyDeleteThis may be the coolest polish I have ever seen in my life! Husband was looking over my shoulder - he even thought it was cool!
ReplyDeleteI love opaque glitters also! Next time I will probably layer it, Amy from I'm Feeling Nail-venturous showed it over a few colors on her blog and it looked awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is one of THE most fun nail polishes I've ever seen. I loved FLOAM! I need this one :)
ReplyDeleteOh. My. God. This looks EXACTLY like floam! I must have this!

ReplyDeleteFab! Would love to see this in other colour combinations, as well. Really innovative and wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI want this polish sooooo bad! I remember the first time I saw it too; my eyes almost popped out of my head. It is so unique! I've got my e-mail in to the "let me know when it's back in stock" thingy on NinjaPolish as well as for a few other polishes of hers. Hope I can get it sometime in the near future. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what an unbelievable color :)
