Green Designs and Hurricane Irene.

Well the hurricane came and went. We didn't get it as bad as they said in Mass, but some places got more damage than others. Where I live? Not much damage at all. Here are some pictures:

 Look! The apples stayed on! .. Most of them...

 Just some leaves...

That was the most damage really. Got pulled up a little.

Besides for that, we lost power for around 6 hours. Some people (including my boyfriend) hasn't had power in over 24 hours. Thankfully dad took home our generator from work so our fridge was good. He also plugged in his tv (of course) and 2 computers. I wasn't bothered really. Though at work, we still haven't received power. Since I do account receivable and payable I can't work today without electricity. So I'm home!

Anyways here is my manicure I did during the storm:

The base color is Avante Garde Green by Fingerpaints
The crackle is china glaze crackle in Cracked Medallion
La color in gold glitter
Bundle Monster Rhinestones.

But wow these pictures make my cuticles look horrible! They don't look that bad in real life!

Stay tunes for my 1 year giveaway :) Small, but with the last one I did I am on a budget!!

China Glaze Anklets of Amethyst and Sally Hansen Distressed Denim.

Okay guys, I got a nail mail in!!!

From left to right: Eyes Like Sapphire,Urban Night, Midtown Magic, Bogie, Lasso My Heart, Haunting, Harmony, and Anklets of Amethyst.

On top of my haul, I need to somehow get these baby shown. As you can tell I am so ready for fall colors!

Here was my manicure today. Sorry for cry cuticles, I was on a ferry at the time with no lotion around.

 I put on China Glaze "White on White", and then 3 coats of China Glaze "Anklets of Amethyst". Even after the 3 coats, it was SO sheer I couldn't stand it. I threw on Sally Hansen Crackle in "Distressed Denim" that I had won in a giveaway :). I didn't think I would love this so much! I think it's because the crackle was also a blue jelly crackle and it's so pretty.

Keep watching for a small giveaway I am having for hitting one year!

Here is a picture I took today on the beach:

Haul (New ORLY Mineral FX too!!!)

I did a haul today. Here is a quick picture:

I got lucky! For spending 45 dollars at Sally's I got the bag free :)

Here is my manicure for the time being:

The base color is Starry Night by Nina Ultra Pro. I used it in my last post as the stamping color. Works great for stamping. Silver Mercedes from Pure Ice as stamp color. The stamp is m64 from my MASH plates.

Im going to do my nails in one of the ORLY Mineral FX colors now! See ya soon!

Review from NailDeRoyale.com

I am showing you some reviews I have from a few items that were sent to me from a website called NailDeRoyale.

These are the items that was sent to me:

There is one blue LaRosa crackle polish called "Feeling Blue?"
The nail art striper is from Omega Labs. Which there is no label for a name but it has a code number of 166. I looked on the website and it is called "Omega Hot Orange".
Then there are two pots of nail glitters. The black is called "Asphalt" and the orange is called "Orange Sand. These are made by ISIS.

First up was the nail art striper.

  In the sun

In the shade.

This was an extremely opaque polish, which I love when it comes to nail stripers. Another thing I loved was how thin the brush is.

 I have been using LA Colors brushes, and this blows them away. The brush is so much thinner, and also more opaque. I adored this striper.

Second I reviewed is the LaRosa Crackle. I have heard of this brand and I always wanted to try it out. Here are my results over my previous manicure.

LOOK AT THAT CRACKLE! lol. It crackles better than my china glaze's do. I loved it and it was so easy to work with. It also started crackling right away.



Next come the two pots of nail glitters. Now I will admit I have never used nail glitter before so this was interesting for me. I started by using a brush to put the glitter on. I then realized it would be easier with the top of the pots lid under my nail and slowly pour the glitter on my nail. This was my results:

As you can see the black has holo glitter in it. It's gorgeous. I also liked the orange but it's a bit more difficult to see on my nails. The black really pops out though.




This is my first ever review and I am so excited. If you go on www.NailDeRoyale.com you can purchase these products. Here are the prices:

LaRosa crackle is on sale now for $4.49.
Nail Striper is $2.99 each.
Orange sand glitter is $2.99 a pot.
Asphault is also $2.99 a pot.


Thanks for reading!

These products were sent to me for review. These are my full opinions on the products.

French Tip Crackle!

I am showing today a french tip with the color "In the Lime Light" by China Glaze. I then stripped black on it and realized it was too messy (the brush did NOT want to work with me) for me to wear out. I added some black crackle by CG and it looked MUCH better :) Then finally toped it off with "Fairy Dust" by CG also.

Pure Ice now has crackle!!

While I was driving today, I looked at my local Walgreens sign and it said Crackle Nail Polish 3.99. Of COURSE I had to check out what it was. It was Pure Ice! I didn't even know they were coming out with some! They do have multiple colors. I couldn't take a picture of the display the lady was standing right next to it. But here are two I picked up and I will swatch later!

Zoya Roxy and China Glaze Crushed Candy

Finally blogger is back! I wanted to post this yesterday but blogger wouldn't let me :(

Today I am showing you Zoya "Roxy" with some China Glaze "Crushed Candy" crackle on top :)

I have been using my lightbox to take pictures and to me, they look a LOT more accurate.

The only thing I was frustrated about this manicure was using Poshe as a topcoat. It made my nails look like they had tipwear from wearing polish for many days. I am not a huge fan of Poshe anyways. I think I'm going back to my Seche Vite

Ancient Jade/Cracked Concrete

Today I am showing you Orly "Anicent Jade" With China Glaze crackle "Cracked Concrete" Not a bad mix together, I am just not a huge grey fan. Sorry for short nails I had to cut them since they were splitting :(

There was NO sun at the time I went to take pictures. Also sorry for smudges, I went to stretch my arms back and I wacked my nails on the wooden door frames lol.

For good news I am now done with school for summer!!!!

Tronica, Crackle, and More!!

I went on a HUGE haul at my Sally's! The 8 colors in the back are from the Tronica collection (I also got a double of the pink one accidently ;) ) The 3 to the right are from the crackle collection! And then one from the ORlY Spring Collection, and one from the FingerPaints Collection! I may have one more in the tronica, but I couldn't find anymore in my stash when I looked. Sorry for quick post, I needed another one and I have a doctors appointment!

I am wearing the "Techno Teal" from the Tronica collection in the pictures. It dazzles like crazy in the sun!
