Laser Crackle Mani

O. M. Gosh!  I promise I'm gonna stop being a bad blogger.  I skipped posting for, like, 3 days.  I apologize and I'm not going to give you some lame excuse.  I'm just not gonna do it again.  lol

I have so many complete mani photos so this is one I want to show you today.  I wanted to something kinda fun and cool so I thought I would freehand some vertical stripes in greens and purples and then cover it all up.  lol Naw but really, I just wanted to use my striping tape for this design and I wanted to see what the shatter looked like over the purple.  (:

WHAT I USED:
Zoya Cynthia
OPI Black Shatter
a lot of different greens
a lot of different purples

I know that doesn't help at all, but I completely forgot to take a photo of the base design, but it was basically just skinny vertical stripes that didn't look very good because I don't have a super steady hand.  lol  I think some of the ones I used were BB Couture Dark Knight, Julep Meryl, China Glaze Creative Fantasy, Sinful Sugar Rush, China Glaze Four Leaf Clover, Color Club Blue-ming, Color Club Hydrangea Kiss, and some others that I can't remember.  I used 5 greens and 5 purples so...yeah.

So what do you think of my crazy mani?  It's kinda all over the place.  Also let me know if you have any design or color requests.  I'd love to know what you've been waiting to see from P. G. R & R!

October Julep Maven Box

I haven't posted a Maven box opening in a while, and I thought this one was a good place to start up again.  I haven't been excited about one in a while too.

First of all, I love crackles so I so happy I got an ORANGE ONE!!  I don't even like orange, but I don't have a crackle that color, and it's pretty damn awesome.  Second of all, I see a little sneak peek of some candy corn in there.  I hate candy corn too, but I sure did eat it.  lol.

Here is what came in the Maven box:  Julep Eloise, Julep Sabrina (cute!), Quick Dry Polish Drops, orange and black glitter, and a baggie of candy corn.

This is Sabrina.  It is a shimmery orange crackle with the cutest name.  I mean, who doesn't love Sabrina?  I particularly like the old school comics best, but Melissa Joan Hart did a good job too.

I forgot to get a photo of Eloise before I put the crackle over it, but this is one coat (I used one coat on the above swatch as well).  It applied very easily, but the color reminds me of Zoya Cynthia.  I'm pretty sure they are not dupes, but I guess I could give it a go.

I did order an add-on polish, but I'm a little disappointed to find out that the add-ons come in a different shipment.  I think that's stupid, but whatever.  I know this wasn't as exciting as I could have made it, but that's the box.  I mean, I don't know what else to show you.
