China Glaze "Deviantly Daring"

My nail polish collection at the current moment is basically "let's put all the bottles in these bins and we'll fix it later" since moving back home. So in turn that pretty much translate to using the option of just searching through a bin and picking out a random bottle of nail polish! Last week it turned out to be "Deviantly Daring" by China Glaze which I was pleasantly content with. It's been a while since I've used this color and since I couldn't find the nail polish I had in mind, I went with it. I love that this color looks green in some light and at some angles and blue at others. Color switching nail polishes like this one make me smile because you never know what color you're going to get when you look down! I'm also surprised at how well, in my opinion, my new Samsung Galaxy S5 takes photos compared to the ones my Note 2 used to take. I sadly no longer have a fancy camera to use and I haven't looked into getting one of my own just yet, so bare with me! I figured outside in the sun would be a good light to look at this polish so I took the photo shoot out onto the backyard deck.

The photos make the nail polish look more blue but I would say it's a little more green in real life but I took a photo in and out of the sun while I was out.


Here's an angled look outside in the sun where it looks more blue than green

I do have a video that I would love to post but I really have no idea on how to put videos up here! So it'll be on my Instagram (@kristinalynn15) page! Also I'd love to hear any feedback that you guys might have on my blog, whether it's things you'd want to see more of or less of, or any types of suggestions/comments you might have. Leave them below I'd love to read them!

Asunder Art and Jewelry

One of my best friends posted on Instagram a little while ago about this great girl who makes awesome jewelry, Asunder Art and Jewelry so of course I HAD to go look. I am so glad that I did because the pieces that she makes are so awesome and beautiful that I needed to have some pieces for myself. One of the pieces that I purchased was the Angel Aura Quartz Assemblage Necklace which I now realize was a one of a kind piece! Which means what my friends? That you better get hoppin' to it!

How amazing does this piece look?! Seriously though, love it.

The next piece that I picked up from the shop was a Rough Titanium Quartz Crystal Necklace. I love the way it looks, simple and BLUE, duh, and I can't wait to see what kinds of outfits that it's going to go perfectly with. There are still some of these available in the shop and each crystal is going to be different from the next. This fact makes me more excited to receive the necklace because it's going to be unique and not the same as any other one.


The best part? There's a spring sale happening right now and when you use the code SPRING20 you'll get 20% off your purchase! So like I said before, get to it! Thanks guys!

Zoya Blu and ILNP Atlantis

I've been more into Zoya lately than I used to be and "Blu" is one of my favorites because it basically matches the sky perfectly. It's one of those colors that makes me feel a lot more elegant than I really am, which is..not so elegant in real life. At the current moment I've had a handful of I Love Nail Polish's chrome flakies, which are AWESOME, and decided to use "Atlantis" for my accent nail to switch it up. I did a couple coats of "Atlantis" on my accent nail just so there was a little more coverage but so that you can also still see some of the base color. It was a little hard to make sure that there was a little bit of the chrome flakies pieces all over my nail so I would take the brush and just tab some places to try to get more in a certain spot.

Easter Nails

So for this Easter I had to chose a color that fit the pastel Easter color scheme so I went with OPI "Don't Be A Budapest." It's been a while since I've done this color and since it's a light purple it fit perfectly. Since my first coat was thin, I ended up putting on 3 coats so it wasn't as see through.
