DIY: Glitter Nail Polish + Big-Ass Book Of Crafts 2 Giveaway
First let me start off by apologizing to my 70-year-old Aunt DeDe. She’s gets an email every time I post something and I’m sure she “clutching the pearls” right now because the word “Ass” just popped up in her inbox. So sorry Aunt DeDe, but it’s the name of a book. Not my book, but abook written by my super crafty friend Mark Montano. Mark has written many craft books. I’m a fan of them all, but Big-Ass Book Of Crafts 2 had one particularly genius project that I’m absolutely in love with. Glittery nails are all the rage right now which makes this project so timely. DIY glitter nail polish! It makes for a fantastic stocking stuffer…
Materials: Clear Nail Polish, Glitter
Roll up a piece of paper to make a funnel and pour the glitter directly into your clear nail polish. Obviously I excel at pouring and not making a mess! After you’ve poured as much glitter as possible into the polish, shake well until mixed.
Pretty, pretty polish!
You gotta love glitter and all things that go bling! It seams like glitter is everywhere now… shoes, purses and even our finger tips. So let’s discuss…
Question: The glitter trend… here to stay? Or please make it go away?
If you’re a fan of Glitter ‘N Glue and entering to win my giveaways I’m assuming you’ll type in all caps… HERE TO STAY! lol Let me know your thoughts about the glitter bomb that seems to have exploded all over the fashion industry. Leave your answers below. Contest ends tonight at 9pm pst and with the help of a fancy number generating system, a number will be selected. If your answer falls in the comment box that corresponds with the selected number…you win a copy of Big Ass Book Of Crafts 2 by Mark Montano AND a assortment of different colored glitter so you can make your own polish! Don’t worry if you don’t win today because we’re playing this game all week! Each day is a new DIY project, a new prize and a new chance to win. And just so we’re clear there is a right answer for this question 😉
PS: Thanks to my Dad for playing photographer! He was really getting into it ya’ll. Like his name was David Lachapelle #NotThatSeriousDad xoxo
UPDATE: 4 was the randomly selected number!
Congrats Stacy! You won a copy of Mark Montano’s Big Ass Book Of Crafts 2!

From little girls who love fairies and princess to grown women who adore glittery eye shadow and sparkly cars, glitter is HERE TO STAY. For me glitter is a mood changer, the shiny effect makes everything better and brighter.
PS – Your Aunt will forgive you, lol.

Glitter must stay! Maybe not so much in cosmetics, but I think it will be around in clothing to some extent, certainly accessories. My 22 year old daughter has her own blog and she just did some glittery nail thingy. Sigh,,I guess I’ll have to hurry up and do it too!! LOL

December 8, 2011 at 9:42 am
HERE TO STAY! What I love about the glitter trend is that it makes it all so wearable! I used to feel like sequins were for the holidays only; a sparkly dress was only good from November through January… but NO LONGER!
