I'm For Sale On Etsy!

Nail polish jewelry is fun, I like experimenting with some of my favorite glitters and crazy polishes to make them into long lasting pieces. I did a post on my first bit of nail polish jewelry here. A bit of inspiration and collaboration later, and items made by me are now for sale on Etsy! My sister runs a shop there and has agreed to sell my items. Not just regular nail polish jewelry though... cuff links! Yes for men! Now you can have your man match your manicure! lol.

Wouldn't it be a good idea for a wedding party? The cufflinks could match the exact color of the ladies' dresses, or their nail polish too! Prom? You date can coordinate perfectly with your dress. Or just for any business man that has to dress up in a suit and tie for work. 

Here is the link to the Etsy shop where they are sold, and you should check it out! If you want to discuss custom color matching just email myself or my sister and we'll get back to you about it.

 Use the coupon code "LESLIEBLOG25" at checkout for 25% off!

Nail Polish Jewelry

I've seen this all over the place. I just never understood how to do it myself. Until now! Thanks to Sarah over at Chalkboard Nails! She wrote up this post about some Nail Polish Earrings that she made and she outlined not only how she did it, but where you bought her supplies from. I went and bought from the same supplier and did exactly as she said. And I'm soooo happy with how they turned out!

I bought enough to make 10 sets of earrings and then 10 silver necklace pendants and 10 brass necklace pendants.

Take a look at what I've made so far!

Revlon Whimsical & ChG Sea Spray

Sally Hansen Glass Slipper and dots of light pink, dark pink, coral, and lime green.

Sinful Colors Nail Junkie

 

Impala SPFW na mira 3d (I got this in a swap with Francini in Brazil)

 

Speciallita HITS Mari Moon - Artsy

(Such duochrome awesomeness! It reflects all of these colors!)

Then I went flakie crazy and put a layer of pretty much every one I own. Finished it off with black polish as the very last layer. This is Finger Paints Twisted, Asylum, and Big Universo - Espectral (also from the swap with Francini) You can see I was impatient with this one and glued the cabochon into the blank before the polish was completely dry. That's why there is some smudging of the polish along the bottom. :( That's ok because I'll still wear it proudly!

Now onto the earrings...

Wet n Wild Pure Ice - Cost Is No Issue

China Glaze White Crackle and For Audrey

Jessie's Girl Confetti (this flashes from blue to purple, but my picture does it no justice)

Finally I tried some stamping, because supposedly you can do that! It's much harder than I thought. I had a hard time getting the image to stamp clearly because the back of the cabochon is slightly concave. But I still like them!

I bought my supplies from CandyTiles.

Nail Piercing

Nail piercing its a tehnique increasingly used in nail art. A nail piercing is best done on long artificial nails because natural nails are likely to be weaker than artificial nails. Actually, nails jewelry are easy to find on the market and already presented by many brands, including Dior, for example.

Technically the procedure of piercing is not complicated and it is possible to pierce one's own nails but it's highly recommend to go to the professional piercer. Doing so will avoid any damage to the nail and we have the best positioning of the piercing.
