Crackle Glaze Review

A special thanks to my friend Charlotte for being my gopher on trying out the polish! Okay, I only used two of the Crackle Glazes by China Glaze and they seemed to work pretty good! The thing about these polishes is that you have to make sure your base coat is 100% dry otherwise it doesn't work near as well. So far it works best on the Sally Hansen Insta Dry. I used Broken Hearted(pink crackle) and Crushed Candy(blue crackle) and loved them. You have to put them on some what thin to get a good crackle otherwise it wont separate too much. Also if you put it infront of a fan it cracks faster and much more prominent than if you just air dry. Over all I was pleased with the Crackle Glaze.

Remember request are always welcome!!!

PIKACHU!

Pikachu nails! for those who don't know Pikchu is a pokemon that resembles a mouse and uses lightning and is super cute! Super easy design. I used Sally Hansen Insta Dry nail polish in the color Lightning. I LOVE the Insta Dry polish it looks good and has a sheen without a top coat if you're in a hurry. I'm not sure if I like the style of brush its really flat and wide. I've used the flatter brushes in the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear but the Insta Dry are really flat. I will do a review later and show what the brushes look like! Anyway back to the Pikachu nails. I used Kiss Nail Art in Black for the eyes nose and mouth. The white on the eyes I used Sally Hansen Insta Dry in the color Whirlwind White and finally for the red cheeks I used Sinful Colors in the color Ruby Ruby. Super easy to do and really cute! I use toothpicks to do the design. Hope you like it!

Remember Request are always welcome!!!

Changing the style of this blog

I am going to start doing a nail blog. I've gotten really into making my nails look awesome and have stopped biting them(I've been trying to stop for a VERY long time!!!) so I will do reviews of different polishes and post nail designs I do and want to try. Feel free to give me a request and I'll try to do it!!!

Here is the link to my Deviant Art profile. I have all my designs I have done so far on there!

my influences

There has been a lot that has influenced me. I cant say that just one thing has but probably books are what have done the most for me. Books are my escape from stress and allow me to relax and enjoy life. I've read a lot of books that help boost self esteem and I feel like those have made me become a better and stronger person. I appreciate the little things a lot more rather than I used to. Even in fiction books I learn from the characters and find strength in them. The one book that I can say has influenced me the most, is the bible. I read it as much as I can, I have an actual bible and then I have it also on my kindle. I can honestly say that after I read the bible, it makes me feel good and happy.
