I've posted about China Glaze Love, Marilyn before. See it here. This time, I wore it layered over a red creme. Because there was only one layer of glitter, this seemed far less sparkly than last time, although it didn't peel off the way it did last time.
I wore it with my latest ring, a big heart made of Love, Marilyn over a black creme base. I chose black because I didn't want the heart to be TOO sweety/cheesy/love-hearty. You can't really see the black, but I think it does make a difference, and I like it.
I also made another ring, trying out a ring base I found online. I don't think I like the ring base much, it's very flimsy and the disc that you can glue the cabochon onto is very small, hence the tiny square (painted with Barry M Red Glitter). I also struggled to find a nail varnish that didn't look odd with the fancy wiggly metal of the ring. I don't think I'll buy any more of these ring sets.

ReplyDelete#2 - That red looks really great on you. =)
#3 - I've found jewelry finding at my local hobby shop (I went looking yesterday) but not a *single* glass cabochon!
#4 - I think that ring base is lovely. Maybe you can use it backwards? Fit it to you & glue the pointy ends to the back of your painted cabochon? Just a thought. =)
1. He is a devil. He pushed his way in to my affections a few years back, and frightens my indoor cat all the time. He has at least two other houses he goes to, but I think he likes me best!

3. Booo! I got mine from an American company called Beadaholique - they've got tons of stuff online.
4. I'm not sure that would work, because there's a little flat disc glued to the 'top' of the ring (opposite the pointy ends) which I think would look odd without something stuck to it.
One of my summer projects is to shop some at Beadaholique & get a little varnish crafty. =)
