[diy] renewed necklace, spiderman blue and lime green

 necklace that i bought from bangkok last may. the glitter golden pieces were coated in at least 3 layers of gold glitter nail polish many months ago to cover up the original gold plating that was tarnishing and peeling off. few months back, i realised the colour of the yellow pieces are inconsistent and i had always wanted to do something about it. last christmas, the church gifted me a set of opi minis in spiderman series. well as you should know by now if you follow me long enough, i love subtle nude colours. so that set of mini 4 wasnt really to my taste, so i had to put them to better use than on my toe nails now.

 i grabbed all the weird and bright shades that i have in my collection and i tried to mix and match them around to fit this combination. here are 3 sets of colour mix i have. in the end i decided on the lime green and spiderman blue combination in the middle.

 so i painted the pieces accordingly, being careful not to mess up the sides. here, i applied 1 coat of nail polish on each piece.

 because there are some original colours peeking out, and you can see the ugly brush strokes, i did a second thick coat over, then i finish it off with a thick layer of top coat. let to dry under the fan and you are done!

here you can see the colours in the photos as close is it appears in real life. that saves me a piece of necklace! hope you enjoyed the share there!
