Black Luna Nail Lacquer!

Hello Everyone!!  I'm so happy we got our power back yesterday after the storm on Monday!  It was a quick storm, but it effected a lot of towns!  Many didn't have power like us, and I'm just thankful we were only out of power for a day! Sometimes bad storms put us out a lot longer!  After driving yesterday, I saw a lot of trees uprooted!  It is quite scary!  Below is a couple blocks away.  I just ask that you keep those with damage in your thoughts and prayers!  I'm feeling very fortunate to not have had any devastation from the storm!  

Isn't it amazing what nature can do with a quick little burst of wind?  On a lighter note, I'm so excited to share some Black Luna Nail Lacquer swatches with you today!  I was sent these for review and it was my first time trying this brand.  I love the colors I was sent and the formula was great for all three!

You can purchase Black Luna Nail Lacquer at http://blacklunalacquer.storenvy.com/ and also can stay up to date on Facebook and Instagram - @blacklunalacquer.

First up, we have Comet.

For Comet, I used 2 coats along with Wicked Fast by Cult Nails.

What a perfect creation in time for the 4th of July!!  I absolutely love the white squares in this too!  I like that it has a hint of sheerness to see them.

Next up, Bright Lights Holo Top Coat.

I was feeling like an office type mani, with a bit of sparkle.  I started with 2 coats of OPI Barefoot in Barcelona.

I then added 1 coat of Bright Lights.  My light box doesn't play nice with holo :-(

So I used the bedroom lighting.  I'm sorry it makes my skin look crazy, but look at that HOLO!!

I wore this to work for meetings and couldn't stop staring at my nails while typing. hehe

A beautiful holo top coat!  If you don't have one of these, I highly recommend it!  It makes any polish holo by layering it.  Part of the fun is finding new combos!  I really love these two together and will be wearing them again!

Close up - light box!

Last, but not least, we have Forbidden Fruit.

For Forbidden Fruit, I used 2 coats along with Wicked Fast by Cult Nails.

What a gorgeous neon green!  And the name is too cute.  Again, my light box didn't really play nice with the gorgeous holo glitters in this!

Here is the bedroom lighting to show off the sparkles!

Close up!

I hope you enjoyed this look at Black Luna Lacquer!  I am so glad I had the opportunity to try these!  Her shop has lots of beautiful creations, so I recommend checking it out!  In case you missed above, you can purchase Black Luna Nail Lacquer at http://blacklunalacquer.storenvy.com/ and also can stay up to date on Facebook and Instagram - @blacklunalacquer.

Quick Update

Hi Everyone!

These last couple of months have been challenging to say the least!  I am sorry that I haven't been here as regularly as before, but I do hope to get back to that.  I've been trying to focus more on my home, improving and doing more, as I've often let my husband take more of the responsibility of chores!  How unfair is that?!  My full time job has also been demanding, but I am thankful to have a place of employment.  And finally, I am continuing to be active at the gym!  Unfortunately, my hobby and passion of blogging has taken a bit of the backseat as I try to manage my life right now.  I had hoped a break would help me come back more focused, but really it just made me notice how little I have contributed to my husband and my household over the past year.  I really admire those women (and men) out there who do it all and do it so well!  And the ones with children?  You are my hero! ;-)

I wanted to share this because you, my dear readers, mean so much to me.  I do have a few more personal things that I'm working through, but nothing to be too concerned about.  My stress has overall been high and as much as I love swatching, blogging, and social media, it has all overwhelmed me a lot these past couple of months.  Something that has always been fun for me, started to become a chore and a lot of pressure.  I put the pressure on myself, so it was necessary to give myself some time away to be able to enjoy it again.  However, in that time, I took on reviews that I thought I could handle, but instead I became extremely behind.  I do realize how unprofessional and rude that is, but all I can do is apologize and continue working through the reviews.

My blog has grown a lot this past year, which has allowed me to reach so many wonderful people!  It's truly a blessing, and I'm extremely lucky to have such supportive friends and fans here.  I used to go through so many hobbies before I found blogging and polish.  Being a part of this community has worked it's way into my heart and life, so I'm not going anywhere.  I do wish I could say that starting now, I'll be back, perfectly on track, but I'm taking things slow, day by day. :-)  Thank you for being so patient and understanding with me.  I can't wait to share these wonderful polishes with you!

I hope you all have been enjoying the summer so far!  I'm very happy to say that I have been.  Although things have been busy, I am very glad to be spending more time with my husband, friends, and family!

Much Love,

Crystal
