DIY: add some colours to your accessories

 

I had a great haul shopping at shopwildwolves.

This spring, if you wanna add some colours to your accessories collection, I may have something for you here. (:

 

I saw this at asos, similar concept earrings here.

 

And I decided to.......DUPE IT. (With flash.)

 

(Without flash) The ring on the background is the ring from asos.

 

See the differences? I'm in love with my new set of rings.  

On nails: For audrey; Chinaglaze

 

From left to right, for audrey, lilacism, or 205, la girl, skinfood.

So how did I achieve this look? The answer to it is…… Nail polish! 

It’s really simple. The ring came in with dividers in place so there’s no trouble in the ratio of painting. Just paint one layer of nail polish in the colour that you fancy per portion. Its ok to let it overlap a lil, we’ll remove it later. Once all the colours are in, with the use of a cotton bud and nail polish remover(Sally Hansen), gently swab the dividers to let the gold show, it’ll really enhance the look. Once the touch ups are complete, use a clear nail polish to give it some shine and you are done! Easy right?

For the ring on the left, I used some sort of blue from skinfood, I can’t read Korean and thus can’t list the actual shade here. I also used the coral red from LA girls under the disco brites series. 

For the ring on the left, I used Lilacism from Essie, For Audrey from China Glaze, OR205 from thefaceshop. (: 

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.
