DIY: Glitter Frame

I can't believe it's Wednesday already. I just got back to New York and I'll be back to work in the city tomorrow! I'm excited to head back into the office but just a warning the next few posts probably won't come until late in the day. Today is the second half of yesterdays glitter DIY. Today I used the same glitter nail polish to glitterize a plain black frame. My friend's entire bedroom is done in pink and black so this will go perfectly with the martini glass and her decor. Here are some before and after pictures.




I wish I had a better camera besides my iphone because these things are coming out much prettier in person than they are on screen, but you get the idea. 

Oh yeah, side note. Did any of you know that Marshall's sells Essie nailpolish now?! It's half the price! Seeing it in the store this morning made my day!

DIY: Glitter Glass

Good morning, I hope you're have a lovely Tuesday so far. I just woke up and I feel like I could sleep for another 12 hours. Ughhhhh.

Today's tutorial is SUPER easy to do and it comes out looking awesome. Plus it uses one of my favorite things, GLITTER! (I'm such a girl, I know).  I made it as a gift for a friend of mine. All you need is A plain martini glass and glitter nail polish.

Step one: Clean your glass and pick your color.



Step two: Paint the part of the glass that you want to glitter. I painted the bottom part of the stand and painted up from the top of the stand so that the glitter ended before it reached a point where you put your mouth.

Ta-Da!

This picture doesn't do it justice, the glass look awesome. I'm going to place it with tomorrow's project (stay tuned) and a bottle of her favorite liquor. Easy, inexpensive and adorable. Happy glittering!
