Holographic Flake Fun

A while ago i was searching eBay for something slightly different to use on my nails when i stumbled upon some automotive holographic flake!!! The stuff is designed to be sprayed into cars but i thought to myself why not use it with some UV gel!!!
Well this was the result, unfortunately the pic does not do the nails any justice, under direct sunlight they have the most amazing rainbow sparkle effect, almost like a mobile disco!!
After a few days i got fed up with the stickers i encased into the gel so i filed them back, top coated them and had a play at hand painting with acrylic paints!!

Earrings good enough to eat!!!

I got bored one day and decided to play with some polymer clay, i decided to use a cake theme so we have French Fancies and donuts (my brother keeps calling them party rings). Best part is they are coated in a scented clear nail polish so they even smell yummy too!!!

A real sweety!!!

I absolutely love jewellery based on sweets, so when i saw a tutorial on how to turn gummy bears into beads i just had to try it out with my favourite sweets Dolly Mixtures!!!
Quite simple to make if you can resist the urge to eat them as you go!!!!! I created a hole through the centre of the sweets using a toothpick then used a pin, so i had something to hold onto, and dunked each sweet into clear varnish, let the excess varnish drip of and then use the pin to stand them up in a piece of polystyrene!!!! After 24hrs (depending on the varnish used) they were ready!!! Unfortunately i did think and bought Ronseal varnish and even though its clear it left a slight stain but it still looks good!!!! Also where they smell of varnish you don't have the urge to eat them!!!

Sticking with the Vampire theme!!!

This was my second attempt at a sculpted stiletto nail, i only did one as I'd never be able to sculpt my right hand at all!!!! This was actually really simple, sculpted using clear gel mixed with a cheap black loose powder eye shadow, used white gel for the teeth, then added some clear gel with red glitter to look like blood!! The best bit is that to can actually feel the teeth individually!!!
Wish i could of done them all like this, just not as sharp i think!!
