Home remedy: Keeping your accessories longer part II


Picture 1: without nail polish


Picture 2: With nail polish, as you can see, the difference is really minimal. It's a little shinier and colour would be more vibrant.

 

The top row is without nail polish, the row at the bottom is with nail polish. For coloured pieces, nail polish might help in adding the vibrancy. The difference is more noticeable up front as compared in photos. 

Why do I paint my stuffs? 
  1. To slow down the "rusting" speed. 
  2. To prevent scratches. 
  3. To prevent staining
  4. To add vibrancy
  5. I like my things shiny. (:

Home remedy:keeping your accessories longer


My ring organiser box. I love this colour.

 

Only two rings out of these collections are not treated with nail polish.

  

my poor board. 


I'm using this currently, instead of the daiso one which I had been using previously. I think they all work the same, as long as you use a clear nail polish and NOT top coats.


This is an up-close photo of how it looks like with nail polish on it. For this ring, I applied two rich layers, don't ask me why. Usually I use just one rich layer, but I guess this ring is special?  If you are not a fan of shiny finishes, you will probably not like this home remedy. This is just my own personal way of keeping my accessories longer, they might not work for you. #justsaying



This is how I organise my rings, my poor box getting a little overloaded, my necklace organiser board is also getting way overcrowded. I really need the new room soon. For now, my entire necklace collection will have to be cramped into one small board. ):

Also, this is how I take care of my accessories, I think, I might be getting those varnish for wood/metal material. This is what happen when you buy cheap accessories. So far, nail varnishes have served me well. But I feel, it won’t be long lasting, and eventually, like how it chipped off while on our nails, it will get chipped off while on my accessories. I don’t want them to rust. So, a little effort goes a long way. (: Do you have your own home remedy for this too? Do share with me!

DIY project: collar



So, recently there is a collar craze, and I thought I would just join in. Since they help jazz up outfit effortlessly(almost).
So these are what you would need, sequins, collar, thread the same color as your collar (in my case: white) and needle.
I got the collar from a old white t-shirt my bro owned.




From daiso, $2sgd

So, I finished the other heart shape bottle, and bought this one instead. Again, it's not a top coat, it's a clear nail polish which imma use on my accessories not my nails. This is my third bottle, I finished two bottles and yes, I did spammed it on my accessories.
Anyway, this picture is up because I'm in love with anything heart shaped, and I think it's cute. This have nothing to do with the collar above.
