Subject: Finally! My Honeybee Gardens Review
Message: I was afeared I'd never get to add my 2¢
about this product, but our very own lovely Lynnie decided to share the wealth with me. Seems she's not exactly a Tuscany color kind of gal, so she passed it on to me.
Let me just say I am impressed!!! The color dried sooo fast and was really nice and glossy.
The color is very vivid. Just stunning! It's a very deep opalescent purple and was just glorious! Very bold indeed.
But most of all, I was just impressed with the lack of stench. Nail polish about drives me out of the house but this did not!! And it went on like a dream!
Overall, I give it 2 thumbs up! :::hiding one thumb because I attacked the cuticle:::
Thank you Lynnie! I can feel confident in purchasing other colors now.

Message: Soo..all you polish gurus.....
How are you working this into your rubbing routine? As you probably know..I have a touch of ocd..which is at the moment manifesting in a nail rubbing sorta way....so do you put the polish on and then eliminate the rubbing until you take the polish off? I may need a 12 step program..if that is the case...let me know!

Message: You rub with or without the polish. It will continue to stimulate the cell activity and keep those cuticles supple.
Rubb-a-dub-dub keep your fingers in the tub (of growth formula!)
Good ocd, good ocd! RUB! RUB! RIB!
My thing is that I count! Yeppers! Count!
I began taking ballet and tap lessons at age 5 and everything was contingent on timing. So I count, and I count! EVERYTHING! Drives me crazy, but that is what I do. Count pieces of silverware I put in the drawer from the dishwasher. Count the strokes I make to shave my legs, YEPPERS NUTZ!

Message: Moi, I'm so glad you like the Tuscany - it's one of my favorites, esp. for the summer time. You ladies honestly have no idea how much reading your comments means to me. With all the big companies out there with oodles of cash to spend on advertising, demos, shelf space, etc. I get tired of feeling like a wee fish in a big ocean and it can make you want to give up. Your amazing comments push me forward. I know my stuff is healthier for people (and the planet). I can't give up that fight.
Barbara I just had to laugh at reading your comment about counting. I too did the tap, ballet, jazz dance thing for nine years of my childhood - and I count! I thought it was just the obsessive/compulsive part of me, but it's nice to hear someone else is nuts!!!
PS - LOVING the NGF. Using it on fingers AND toes (spring is coming)!!

Message: Hiya QueenBee! My daughter is named Melissa... and I know it's Hebrew for Honeybee. Did that have anything to do with the name you chose for your company?
Yes, the polish is fabulous! I ordered a clear and a fairy dust and can't wait to try them! What a thrill to find so many 'like minded' people who care about the environment and their bodies.
Now, Melissa, when you get really famous (being on the Q and all), will you remember us little 'un's? ;)

Message: Hell-o Queenie* and Moi and all!
If I didn't have to concentrate on the letters I type, I would probably count key strokes! 1234,5678,1234,5678..........
shuffle, hop, step, slap, step! You know the drill!
After 18 years of dance class, you just can't let it go!
You keep up the efforts with the rubbing and your nails will take on a life of their own! (in a good way!)
Moi, your package is going out Monday morning. All packed up and labeled! I decided to not send "10 Big Ones". I am just afraid the language will be too offensive for your tinder little ears. But you can tell your hubby there are 5 books enclosed for him and your Dad! Happy reading!

Message: Moi - I just couldn't have you going bare-nailed for Valentine's Day. So glad you are enjoying it. I have enough to rotate my schedule between my French sheers, Fairy Dust, Valentine and now Cherokee. Cherokee is next on my list - a warm neutral.
Denise - um, I have a touch of that OCD thing as well. I'm still rubbing in my NGF once or twice daily. No way do I want to risk the progress we've all made. I reason it still seals the tips, stimulates the cuticles and some seeps under the tip to keep it moist. And, like Lori mentions, I give myself 2 or 3 days off if plain NGF therapy to recondition before polishing again.
Queenie - no way would we be so thrilled with your product if it didn't deliver or if it tampered with our "nail integrity". We would be the FIRST to notice if it altered that. That's a pretty powerful testimonial.

Message: Moi, yes Melissa is Greek for "honeybee". My husband came up with the name for my company. I used to spend so much time in my herb garden, and our first products were produced with the herbs I grew. So our original products literally came from Melissa's garden, i.e. Honeybee's Garden. Simple, but catchy!
I love hearing your thoughts on colors. I'm HOPING QVC asks us back. If they do, I want to give them new colors unique to Naturella. The pinks seem to do well, so I'm thinking about doing a set of natural pinks (like the sheer Bermuda Pink Lynnie in your FM kit) and maybe one less sheer. Any thoughts on colors you'd like to see, ladies (again - if they give me a second chance)?

Message: Melissa - DEFINITELY push a "spa nails" kit if QVC asks you back. I think if you substituted just one frost like Fairy Dust or Mocha Latte in that FM kit for that Palm Beach sheer, you'd offer a good versatile kit that is very much today and in keeping with trends.

Message: Melissa-Don't forget to push the fact that our grand daughters are safe with the products. That is paramount. May be a "CHRISTMAS" kit for youth would be in line!
