Nail Caviar

So since I've got a lot of questions about my nails I decided to make a post about what I used and how I did them.
To start off, I used a kit.  It was called Nail Rocks and it was just randomly in the nail polish section at Walgreens.
It was real easy to use, the directions were super simple.  All you do is paint two coats of nail polish that comes in the kit, and right after your second coat, dip your nail in the tube of beads or "nail rocks". 
Then you lightly press on your nails and you're done.  
They look great.  Except when you go to bed and wake up, then your nails look awful.  So I redid them in the morning and by the end of the day, my nails looked awful again.  Not as bad from when I woke up, but still not good.
I suggest only using these on special occasions, where you don't expect your nails to look good for a long periods of time.
Ratings:
Difficulty: 1/10 (10 being very difficult, 1 being easy.)
Cost: 6/10 (1 being expensive, 10 being inexpensive.)
Long-wear:  1.5/10 (1 being not long, 10 being sturdy.)

Breaking Bad: Homemade Rock Candy Recipe

Homemade Rock Candy, you will need: 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup light corn syrup 2 cups granulated sugar 2 teaspoons flavoring extract blue gel food coloring candy thermometer Instructions: Line sheet pan with foil, and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray/spray butter. In a saucepan combine the water, corn syrup, and granulated sugar. Place the pan over medium-high heat, and stir until the sugar dissolves.  Bring the mixture to a boil, then stop stirring.  Insert a candy thermometer. Continue to cook the candy without stirring until it reads 285°F on the thermometer. Do not overcook it, or it will start to take on a caramel color. Once at 285°F, take the pan off the heat and let it sit for a few moments, until bubbles stop breaking on the surface. Add the flavoring, I used raspberry extract and food coloring, I used Neon blue by McCormick, and stir everything together. Pour the candy onto the prepared baking sheet; tilt the sheet pan back and fo...

Raspberry, Brie, and Mango Habanero Pizza

Today I made one of my yummiest masterpieces yet; a raspberry, brie cheese, and mango habanero pizza!   I was kind of lazy, just decided to use a store bought pizza dough instead of making my own, but once I laid out the dough and created a good crust, using my brand new pizza pan from the pampered chef, I laid out some of Sidehill Farms' special mango habanero jam.  This is what the jam looks like. I first bought it at my local grocery store, but then decided to place an order with the Vermont store itself on their webpage. The jam is spectacular! The flavor is excellent and its unlike anything I've ever tried before. After spreading the jam to the uncooked pizza dough I added some brie cheese, fresh raspberries, candied walnuts, and some Rosemary. Next I cooked it in the oven at 425 degrees for ten minutes and then broiled it for one minute before it was cooked to perfection.  The mango habanero jam is quite spicy, but the brie cheese, raspberries,...
