DIY - Neon Necklace

I have been seeing a lot of DIY (Do it yoursef) videos on youtube and blogs.. and as exciting as they seem, I never felt the urge to try them (cos I am lazy) .. I was at Diva the other day and I saw a lot of neon necklaces and I was like, I can do this on my own ..

So yes surprisingly this a DIY post from a super lazy person but I sure did pick the easiest DIY, so without further ado I shall leave you with the pics and the steps to get going ..

You will need a plain necklace & some neon nail polishes

1 - Prime with a white nail polish

2 - Paint your chosen nail paints one by one

The Final Product- Neon Necklace

  1. You will need a plain crystal necklace as your canvas, a white nail polish and some neon nail polishes as per your preference. My necklace is from Forever new, I got it on sale once and never wore it.
  2. Coat the necklace with white nail polish to prep and prime it, so that the colors stand out better. Dry well before proceeding to the next step.
  3. Decide which color is to be placed where and start painting your polishes on. I decided a simple and fun pattern, different color for different rows.
  4. I applied three coats of the polishes. Make sure to dry well between coats.
  5. You can apply a top coat if you want to ( I skipped this step)
  6. Dry well preferably overnight and yay !! you are done :)
