Discarded: Dumpstermancer Series, Book 1 By Michael J Allen


I finished reading another book by Michael J Allen called Discarded.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading Michael's books, and this is another great story from Michael.

This book grabs your attention right off the bat with a different style of magic, which is a common occurrence.

The character is interesting, but at times I was frustrated by his behavior.

 I didn't want to put it down once I started.

Here is a short description off of Amazon: "Magic has been franchised. Magical conveniences are sold everywhere like designer coffee. Everyday life is filled with technical and magical wonders. Only, the magic is murdering people. Thoth Corp's hot new spell is turning people into ravening monsters. Their only hope to quietly rectify the situation before the epidemic spreads is the spell architect they framed and sent to prison. El's response to his former partners wasn't polite. Homeless, forbidden to use government-regulated magic, and barely surviving out of dumpsters, Eli struggles to rebuild his life. Fairytale rats thought long extinct with the rest of the fey rescue Eli from murderous vigilantes, but at a cost. They force him to save fairy matrons stolen away by Thoth's monsters, thrusting Eli between his old company and a shadow war waged against humanity. To stop the war, cure Thoth's victims, and rescue the city, Eli need only find some way to make magic out of trash."

SaviLand One Step 3 In 1 Nail Gel Polish

I recently tried the SaviLand One Step 3in1 Gel Nail Polish,and it is a decent polish.

When I first twisted the base to get it to come out into the brush, I noticed it had a thick tar-like look to it, however despite that look, it did take 3 applications to get it to not look streaked.

Here is a photo of when first applied after 3 coats:

This is a photo 2 weeks after the application through work, etc.
It did hold up pretty good. It still looked nice and is still looking okay. It did chip on a couple of nails but for going on 3 weeks, I would say that is pretty good.

I was a little disappointed that it was just sent without any instructions besides what is on the website.

They do offer it in 24 different colors, the color I chose was black.

This is what the company says about their product:
✓Don't need base/top coat anymore, 1 pen does it all.
✓Fast-dry formula. 5 minutes to complete your nail art.
✓Compared to traditional gel polish, saving money & saving time, but charming color remains the same.
✓Pen shaped appearance design,portable and easy to use. Usually can last for 14-21 days.
✓Suitable for natural nails, UV gel nails, false nails, acrylic nails, nail tips, etc.
✓No nail damage, comfortable and breathable.
