A few months ago I received one of the coolest gifts ever... One of a kind custom jewelry made from NAIL POLISH. Seriously. Nail polish jewelry. Since then I've been thinking a lot about other colors of polish I'd like to wear as jewelry, but these are the ones I have so far:
Here's my pendant made with China Glaze Emerald Sparkle. I think I wear this one the most often because it's really eye-catching with all that glitter.
Here's a custom piece made with a combination of China Glaze, Rimmel and OPI.
Another custom pendant, isn't it fascinating? Kinda looks like flames to me!
Third custom pendant, very cool swirling design on a gold metal finish.
And last but not least...
A ring made of Essie Starry Starry Night. Oooooooooooooo pretty.......
The pendants come in a variety of shapes, but mine are all the large circle shape on a silver metal base. The plain polish pendants come with a chain, but the custom ones do not. I switched the stock chain out of one of mine and put it on a different one and it looks great.
My pieces are pretty substantial- I believe the pendants are 1.5"? But I like large jewelry so that's perfect for me. I know that she makes smaller ones... but hey... Bigger is better, isn't it? :D
All of these pieces are from Ginger Kitty Designs on Etsy. She does do things other than nail polish jewelry, but here's the polish jewelry section of her Etsy store . Everything is made to order so there's about a one week turnaround time.
This is a cool gift idea for a polish lover. It's hard to buy polish for someone who already has a huge stash, so I'm sure they'd really be surprised if they were presented with a pair of earrings made of their favorite polish. My favorite thing is the ability to pick all your favorite colors and have them swirled together to create a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry.
Also... Tracey, proprietor of GingerKittyDesigns is graciously offering a discount code in her shop for my readers. Use "SCRANGIE" in the notes to seller at checkout to get 25% off of anything over $25 plus free shipping (and hey... how about that... the polish pendants are over $25!). The code will be valid until December 19th (which is the cutoff date for being able to receive your items in time for the holidays).
If any of you do end up ordering some custom pieces, please send me pictures! I'm dying to see everyone else's custom designs.
