My Summer uniform

      Ever since this post, I've been wearing variations of the same outfit. To me, blazer plus shorts plus converse always equals a win.

DIY: Color Blocked Earrings


      Recently while re-evaluating my jew box and wardrobe I found a pair of yellow gemstone tear drop earrings. I remember purchasing them several years ago on the cheap at Nordstrom Rack but for the life of me I cannot recall an outfit I wore them with! That's when I remembered Ivana's blog post on reinventing a pair of crystal earrings! She used nail polish to carefully paint over the gems on a vintage accessory and the results packed a major color punch! I followed suit to create these butter yellow and ketchup red earrings!

Start with cleaned earrings, nothing is worse than painting
a hair or dust bunny onto your new accessory!

Paint 2 coats of polish on desired gems. I used OPI's Big Apple Red.

Repeat on both earrings....


Let polish dry completely before wearing! Wouldn't want 
anyone getting their hair stuck in tacky nail polish.

Viola! One of a kind custom made earrings!



Yours,
Nico
