How to Make Every Other Girl's Boobs Look Boring.

Yep, I've finally hand-bejeweled my very own bra, and it only took 2 nights and about half an eighth. I've got to say I'm quite pleased with myself, there is definitely nothing out there like this unless you're willing to drop a pretty big chunk of change. I ended up gluing a design in the center between the two cups as well, but this is a general idea of the end product. If you want your own bedazzled boobies then I can show you what I did and you can figure the rest else for yourself.

So obviously, you need a bra to start off with. I wanted a black background behind the jewels so I

bought this black demi from Target. You don't have to get a new one, you can just use any old

one if you wanna save cash, but all my black bras were too meshy or too lacy to use.

I just went down that aisle in Michael's with all the rhinestones and grabbed anything I liked. I tried to go for a variety of colors and shapes, and yes I bought more than you can see in the picture. I just took out all the doubles and triples so you could get an idea of the variety.

I used a glue by Loctite that the guy from Home Depot recommended to me. I was about two seconds from just buying Gorilla Glue when I saw this shit. I'm so glad I did because this stuff has awesome hold, but is still really flexible, which is good considering there is going to be some

substantial movement when this bra is actually worn.

I started by lining the outer edges of the band with these square shaped crystals (see below) in white to give

the bra somewhat of a border.

Surprisingly, I actually did start off with a general pattern despite how chaotic the end result

looks. I placed the larger jewels in diagonal lines and then tried to place the few shapes around and in between to look random. Then I basically just worked my way with smaller and smaller jewels until the gaps were filled.

Don't ask why I decided to do one cup at a time, I guess it would have just gotten way too

repetitive.

It took me the entire first night to do about 3/4 of the first cup and then the second night I had more of a hang on my technique which made me finish the rest up in less time. I recommend using a pair of jewelry tweezers (or a cosmetic pair you don't care about getting glue on) and squeezing a drop large enough to expand only slightly larger than the bottom of the gem when pressed into the bra. You want the glue to expand out slightly because it will ensure the jewels are secured on not only by their foil backing, but the actual plastic as well. If you don't, then the plastic will eventually fall of and all that will remain is the foil. Trust me. Other than that, good luck and enjoy your blinged boobs. ;)

New Grinder.

It glows in the dark. Dope sauce.

Nails Done Did

Normally I just use a clear nail-treatment sort of polish on my hands. I don't really get manicures, I'd usually rather spend my money on a pedicure (it seems a little more necessary after all). However, with all the great nail strips at Sephora (and at the drug stores! I actually think the Sally Hansen ones work better and last longer than the expensive ass ones) and even more designs I've discovered in magazines, I'm gonna be sure to experiment with these styles in the near future:This silver looks like a foil-sort of nail strip. Looks like I'm gonna have to opt for the more expensive brand, cause Sally has yet to make any metallics like these. I saw this on BleachBlack and I seriously can not wait to rock these!
I actually first saw this style in a magazine a WHILE ago, but still have yet to attempt. Mainly because I want to go for the legit version, not the nail strips with the lace-like pattern. It's said that this can be achieved easily by just pressing lace into semi-wet nail polish. The issue I'm having is that it doesn't seem like cutting lace into the EXACT shape of your nail is going to be any easy feat. Nonetheless, I am determined to achieve this at some point.
I absolutely looooove this modern take on the vintagy half-moon manicure. Instead of just leaving the half-moons in a clear or flesh-tone, she made them a pretty silvery color. I am seriously so in love with this silver and navy blue combo, I think I'm gonna try this style out right after I post this.
OK this may not be nail polish, but would someone PLEASEEEEE tell me where online I can order these? In case you don't know me, I have such a boner for anything that glows in the dark. I simply HAVE to have them for all my summer music festivals. I don't even know what the fuck you call these. These are so much cooler than those attention-whore/douchebags with the gloves at concerts that think they're the absolute shit. I need to know!
