Nail-venturous/Ninja Polish: Humble Bee

I have an exaggerated fear of stinging insects. I really do. I have never been stung by a bee, wasp, hornet...nada. I plan to make that a lifetime record. That does not mean I am composed about it though. If I see a stinging creature within 3-5ft of me I freak out. I mean like screaming bloody murder running away like a crazy person freak out. I assume that any stinging creature is out to sting me. I will not ruin my record. Plus, I'm seriously afraid I'd allergic, since my father is. I don't want to go into some anaphylactic shock and die due to a bee sting. That's a sad way to go. Yes, I'm sure I'm over dramatizing this, but suffice it to say I try to keep my distance from those guys.

I actually do find honey bees and bumble bees quite cute......in pictures. My stinging insect phobia has not kept me away from this awesome cleverly named Nail- Humble Bee polish either.

Humble Bee over Milani Black Swift


Humble Bee is a mixture of matte black and yellow glitters in a clear base.

You can layer this on its own, but you will still have some tiny bald spots on your nail. It would be hard to tell from a distance, but I prefer it layered. It looks awesome! Very bee-like in a friendly non-stinging and non anaphylactic shock kind of way. I really like this glitter, and it's definitely different from anything I have. I liked the formula on this too. It was very easy to use.

I got this on Ninja Polish for $9.00. It is currently out of stock, but you can sign up for Ninja Polish to email you when it is back!

Happy Wednesday!

  1. You won't die if you're stung by a bee or a wasp or a hornet. The FIRST time. You only need to worry that might be allergic with the second sting. Your immune system can't develop an allergy until it has been exposed once. I don't know if that made things better or worse. But your nails are adorable. :)

  2. Ha! I am the same way- you want to see me go crazy put anything with wings (with the exception of birds) around me. But bees- bees have been my achilles heel since I was little. I've never been stung- and I too plan to keep that as a lifetime record- lol!

  3. I imagine you running away with those wavy armes and crying so loud your tears are floating after you, cartoon style :P. I do the same haha.


    This polish isn't really my thing, but I don't like anything yellow I guess.

  5. Oh I am the same way with stinging biting looking flying things. I freak out if a housefly gets too close thinking it's a wasp! Oh yeah I freak out too. And yes, I have been stung by both wasps and bees and it isn't too bad but the fear of being stung is.
    That polish is pretty for Halloween but I'm not sure I like it for much else.

  6. Getting stung sucks, it hurts but the pain does pass. I avoid the stingers as much as I possibly can as I am allergic. A little gift passed down to me from my paternal grandmother. LOL If you have a family history of venom allergies and fear that you could be allergic, ask your doc for a script for Epi Pens and carry one with you and keep one in an easily reachable spot in your home, in case you do get stung and have a bad reaction. I keep one in my bag and one in my kitchen drawer. I didn't have an adverse reaction until my second sting, but different people have different tolerances. I know that you don't plan to get stung but it can't hurt to be prepared, just in case. :)


    And now... That mani is adorable. I love black and yellow bee inspired manicures. As terrible as bees can be, they are cute and yeah... I just love 'em. :)
