Statement necklaces. We all own them. We all love them. We all are on the hunt for them.
Am I right? Or am I right?
I thought, why don't I make my own? Well, not actually "make" a necklace, but take a clear and simple rhinestone one and make it my very own. I posted the original necklace on Instagram and the feedback I recieved was, paint it PINK. So, my friends, that's what I did. It just so happens that I don't own a neon pink necklace, so thanks for reading my mind!
I am far from being a DIY kind of girl. I can't even tell you the last time I attempted this sort of craftiness. So, this was BIG for me even though it only entailed three easy steps.
Are your ready?
What you will need:
1. A clear rhinestone necklace (got mine here)
2. Nail Polish
The Steps
1. Paint one coat of polish on the rhinestones. Brush downward. Let dry.
2. Paint a second coat of polish. Let dry.
3. Apply Essie 3-Way Glaze to the stones. This will help give shine and even out the color.
Total Cost
$13.85 (I already had both polishes, so I just spent money on the necklace.)
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy. Right?
I must admit that I LOVE it. I want to make more and plan on hitting up Forever 21 to see if they have any left in the store. I knew I should have bought two or three. Kicking myself.
Here is one way that I styled it. I can't wait to wear it again and again and again.

So, what do you think?

I'm really impressed with the DIY Shanna! I've been wanting to do something similar but haven't gotten to it. How did you keep the polish from getting on the prongs?
I actually did try this DIY but it didn't turn out anywhere near as good as this. I love it!
