Smart and Sassy Keys!



Hi Friends! I hope your having an amazing weekend. I want to share a little project that's quick but cute. I'm always confused by all the different keys I have on my key ring, and of course I could buy one of those colored thing, but that's boring! I saw this on Pinterest, and had to do it. Adding glitter to your keys is a great way to tell the difference between keys, while looking girly and cute. Smart and Sassy!  I love glitter, like who doesn't?!?



Here's what I used;
Glitter Glue ($1.00 at Joanne's Fabric)
Glitter ($1.00 at Joanne's)
Clear nail polish
Your key



Take the glitter glue and outline the top of the key. The more glue you use, the clumpier it will look, so try not to use too much.


This is what it will look with the glitter glue. You could always stop here, but I wanted more glitter!


While the glue is wet, dip it into the glitter. You might have to do the entire top of the key. Make sure to shake off the excess.


Tada! You have a blinged out key. Your going to repeat the same steps for the opposite side. The last add clear nail polish to both sides. This will help keep the glitter in place.


Here's how silver and gold look. I really like the gold key!
::note to self:: Paint my nail tonight, my nails are a hot mess lol






If you want to see where I got my Pinspiration click here. I'm off to finish my cleaning because tomorrow we're taking B to the zoo for the first time. It's supposed to be in the 80's, so it should be a great day. Anyone doing anything this weekend? Regardless have a great day, and thanks for reading!

Martha Stewart Glitter Glue Manicure!



If your like me and love to wear glitter polish on your nails, then here's a tip that I've found and want to share with you.  Go to your local craft store and purchase the Martha Stewart Glitter Glue, it cost about 12.99 for the one I purchased, but they have a larger one with a ton of colors for 29.99. I know that sound a little expensive, but right now Michael's has a 40%off coupon as well as a 20% of your total purchase including sale items. This will cut that price in half and make it much more affordable.


I used Essie Brizillant, Lemon Drop Glitter Glue, and Essie Good to Go top coat.



Paint your nails like you normally would. I did 2 coats of the Essie polish.



Now your going to pick out the color glitter glue you want to use. This set doesn't have any gold or silver, which I wish it did, so I'm thinking about going back to get those colors. I don't have a picture but I applied the glue to the whole nail, then took my top coat and smoothed it all out.
** Every time I touched the glitter with the top coat brush I made sure I wiped it off, so mot to get glitter in my top coat**



Here's the finished product! Having the Martha Stewart Glitter Glue is like having a bunch of different glitter polishes, for half the cost! I can't wait to play around more with them and see what color combos I can come up with!
