DIY: jewelry re-vamped

hello and happy st. patty's day to ya!

for this DIY i took a not-so-cute necklace from Paparazzi Jewelry, and made it ten times better with the help of nail polish! i painted it mint just because i like the color but hey, st. patty's day? green necklace? no, this was not planned ;)

here is what i used:
boring necklace
Revlon scented nail polish in Mint Gelato
LA Colors Base Coat & Top Coat


step 1- i got all of my materials together and laid out my necklace on newspaper to protect my table. i also took off those two clusters of rectangles. they were not working for me lol.

step 2- i started painting the squares one coat at a time. just like when you paint your nails, you have to let each coat dry. depending in the look you want and the thickness of your polish, you can add one, two, or three coats. (i did three coats)


step 3- after the third coat was totally dry, i added one coat of top coat and waited for that dry.

after i made sure my top coat was dry, my necklace was finished! it wears quite nicely and just in time for spring!
