What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of 100 Premium Long Lasting Glow Sticks

*Press*

    Hello lovelies,
        I am back with my final review of the day a review of 100 Premium Long Lasting Glow Sticks.
 I have three kids and they LOVE glow sticks (seriously I don't think that I have ever run across a kid who didn't like glow sticks)  however we could never find them in a large enough package where everyone could enjoy the fun and everyone wanted to have the same color as everyone else. This package contains 100 8" long bracelets and 100 clips. There are more than enough for each one of my three to have one of every color and then have some to play another day. They are extremely easy to use. Just take one of the bracelets out of the package and snap in several places to activate the glow and attach each end in one of the connector clips. They are large enough to make bracelets or you can eve clip two or three together to make a headband/necklace. We also attempted to make the "fairies in a jar" project where you dump the contents of a glow stick into a jar with some glitter. While we did get a glowing jar , we had to cut the glow sticks up into little pieces and and then shake the jar up and learn that this is probably a project for the larger glow sticks but it did work. The kids love to dance around with the lights off with the glow sticks and even used theme for a night time ring toss. These glow sticks last a long time and are great fun for the whole family.

They are made in the USA (obviously)

I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful and until next time lovelies!

Mani Monday complete with table flipping, failed stamping and drunken dots...

*Purchased*
Hello lovelies,
   Welcome back to another installment of Mani Monday! Today I am featuring Gothic Gala Lacquers' Hot Pants from her new Rave collection. It is a gorgeous bright and vibrant highlighter yellow which glows the in dark. Yes, you heard me correctly this yellow polish GLOWS in the FRICKIN dark. How awesome is that? You can have your own light switch rave with this polish..
But instead of a glow stick all you need is this polish

    So I was super excited and determined to use this kick ass polish and stamp some epic level design on it.

I was going to have simply fabulous nails!
So in order to hold off spontaneously combusting  from too much awesome win with these glow in the dark nails I decided to only paint my accent nails in Hot Pants and then attempt to stamp Hot Pants on black nails. It sounds like a good solid plan right?

And then I will stamp these nails and they will look FABULOUS!
Well, apparently not. It seemed that everything was going to go wrong. Everything started out fantastic. The polish applied like a dream and was nice an opaque after two coats and surprisingly enough I only had one bottle of black polish (I know that this must me some kind of gothic sin only own one bottle but surprisingly I do. Perhaps Ninjas who want fabulous nails took off with the other bottles who knows where they went). Then stamping happened...
I thought that everything was under control...
  So while the glow in the dark polish is awesome on my nails, it wasn't thick enough for stamping on black which I was okay with cause I was going to do a nice awesome skull with some black stamping polish in the middle of my accent nail and call it a day. But NO... That wasn't going to happen either. No matter how hard I tried the skull wouldn't fully transfer on to my stamper.  And after the 10th time I finally gave up...


Yup, this is me after the 4th time trying to get the stamper to work...


    So I was still determined to have awesome nails to go with my awesome polish. Samantha, the owner of Gothic Gala gave a sneak peek of the Rave collection with awesome dotting so I figured that I could do that...Cause how hard could be it using a dotting tool? Apparently I need to go watch some dotting tutorials on Youtube cause....

Yup, this fail is pretty damn epic...

I hang my head in shame at this horrendous dotting attempt and I have to apologize to Samantha cause her polish is way too cool for my craptacular nail art. Please, don't judge a polish from my lack of nail art skill. It really is a gorgeous polish.



Yup, apparently dots with a dotting tool is harder than I thought.



I dunno what the hello happened, but this is an epic FAIL!


So, while the last polish update was full of so much win, the nail art gods and goddess have decided to humble me with this EPIC fail. Now I am off to flip a table and watch YouTube tutorials in order to figure out how to dot my damn nails.




  So thanks for reading this Mani Monday installment of my EPIC FAIL at nail art..

  Until next time lovelies...
