#161 - tackylicious


I found this pair of really tacky earrings when I was clearing out my drawer.
They're pretty nasty aren't they??

Well I decided to try to make them wearable. 


I picked a bottle of nail varnish from my collection. 
I decided on Boots Naturla Collection in Hibiscus.
I wouldn't use anything expensive (unless you're minted!) and I think this is like £1.99 or something so its ideal. 

I just painted them up, making sure I got into all of the nooks and crannies. 
It dried really quickly which was nice. 
I like that you still get a bit of a metallic sheen thru on them. 


Once they're dry - WEAR THEM!

Ok so they're still a wee bit tacky, but they look a lot better in pink than gold. 
Or so I think anyway. 


What do you think? 

Also, you know how Innocent smoothies have this thing where they come with a wee knitted hat
for charity? I picked a couple up in Sainsburys on 2 for £3 - yum.
But you might notice in the background that my Franky monster bobblehead is now nice
and cosy in a fetching pink and black winter hat!

great idea! I think they look good both ways actually although I am a massive fan of tacky jewellery *embarrassed*
