Nail Decals: Breaking Bad Review

The other week I bought these nail decals off ShopJeen for ten dollars and I was so excited to use them!  Here's how they came out.
The directions were super clear, basically paint your nails, cut out the pictures, place them in water, and then place them on your nail, and pat dry.  Once dry use a clear coat of nail polish to make them stay.
If these were as easy to use as the directions they would have come out a lot better.  These took me quite a long time to do.  The little pictures are basically temporary tattoos and they rip extremely easy and stick together, along to everything else.  They're hard to center because they move around a lot.  You have to be extremely carefully and patient while working with these things.  
They look super awesome, but they don't last.  Hours later, when I thought they were dry, which they were, I washed my hands in hot water and they started breaking and melting off my nails.  Needless to say don't count on wearing these for a while.
My Review:
Difficulty: 3/10 ( 1 being very difficult, 10 being easy.)
Cost: 2/10 (1 being expensive, 10 being inexpensive.)
Long-wear: 1/10 (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,...
