NOTD - Neon Yellow and Black Mani

Today's Mani is a black crackle mani over BYS Neons in 'The Right Bright'. I originally bought this nail polish for my DIY Neon Necklace. If you haven't checked that DIY, you should most certainly click HERE. 

I wasn't sure about whether the Mister 'The Right Bright' would be right for me.. Its a beautiful neon yellow shade but is quite sheer even with three coats. I would have enjoyed wearing it on its own, had it been opaque. So after donning three coats of 'The Right Bright', this what I turned my mani into ..

BYS 'The Right Bright' & Australis Black Crackle

Cheap but Chic Diaries - Neon Watch from 'Diva'

This 'Cheap but Chic Diaries' edition is highlighting the oh-so current trend 'NEON'. Mostly all the jewelry stores have all the trendy time pieces available to add to your arm candy but they range from 20$ - 40$. 

I found this gorgeous Neon yellow n gold link watch at Diva on sale for 9 $. This was originally marked at 29.99 $. .I am not sure why the discounted price shows as 15 $ on the website. I bought mine from the store for 9 $. 

Hope you are enjoying the 'Cheap but Chic Diaries' as much as I am enjoying doing them. The previous ones can be seen  HERE.

Cheap but Chic Diaries - Rings from Lovisa

Today's 'Cheap but Chic Diaries' features rings from Lovisa. They have a 3 for $ 10 sale going on. I believe its mostly for earrings and rings. BTW they are having a mid season sale on a lot of stuff. I bought two statement rings and a small one for a change as they are easy to throw on whenever you want. Both the statement rings are quite edgy n trendy n I really like them. 

One is that aztec design and the other is more like a warrior ring with a mirror finish stone ..

I believe its always good to pick trendy pieces on sale n more classic pieces for the full price :) Hope you enjoyed Edition 3 of Cheap but Chic Diaries. Check out the previous ones HERE.

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 :)
