Getting ready for The Market

In preparation for the market at the Masonic Hall in Hobart on Sunday I am getting my act together and blogging the photos for pieces 76-100. Enjoy!

Piece 100 is a necklace with a round glass cabochon (30x30mm) and an 18-inch silver plated snake chain.

Piece 99 is a ring with a domed round glass cabochon (22x22mm) set on a white enameled filigree adjustable ring. The swirls of nail polish used in this ring are Orly Snowcone (blue) and Color Club Fashion Addict (purple).

Piece 98 is a pair of cufflinks with round faceted glass cabochons (14x14mm) and silver plated French style cuff links. China Glaze Rare and Radiant is a beautiful chrome

Piece 97 is a pair of stud earrings with tear shaped glass cabochons (10x14mm) and silver-plated studs. LA Girl Explosion is a mix of different size silver hex glitters and when partnered with Sally Hansen Celeb City they create a silver Explosion!

Piece 96 is a necklace with a tear shaped glass cabochon (18x25mm) and an 18-inch silver plated snake chain. Sally Hansens Spectrum is beautiful and pretty easy to find in Australia, Priceline stock most Sally Hansen products but be warned – the prices are much higher than they are in America. Spectrum has been paired with BYS Black for this necklace.

Piece 95 is a necklace with an oval shaped glass cabochon (30x40mm) and an 18-inch silver plated snake chain. More flakies and more Nfu Oh (they are some of the most beautiful flakies out there!). Nfu Oh 50 paired with Color Club Pucci-licious.

Piece 94 is a necklace with a round glass cabochon (30x30mm) and an 18-inch silver plated snake chain. This necklace was a gift for a friend called Laura who is off starting a new adventure in New Zealand and I have to admit that I am more than a little jealous – NZ is firmly on my wish list of places to visit. This necklace uses Orly’s La Playa with a strike through of Max Factors Fantasy Fire – a stunning colour shifting shimmer which is reminiscent of the very hard to find Clarins 230).

Piece 93 is a pair of stud earrings with round glass cabochons (8x8mm) and silver-plated studs. These earrings are rose pink perfection. Jordana Pixie Pink in its purest form.

Piece 92 is a necklace with an oval shaped glass cabochon (30x40mm) and an 18-inch silver plated snake chain. This necklace is complex and delicious.  Flakie nail polish Nfu Oh 56 and TKB Shanika Sun are a stunning combination.

Piece 91 is a pair of stud earrings with oval glass cabochons (10x14mm) and silver-plated studs. Simple is sometimes the most beautiful. I seem to have no concept of this when it comes to fashion and putting together outfits – for me the more colour and pattern the better! But the simplicity of the sprawl of medium gold hex glitters in Milani Gold is just perfect.

Piece 90 is a ring with a square glass cabochon (25x25mm) set in an adjustable silver plated ring. The shattered effect in this ring is created using China Glaze’s Black Mesh which is a crackle nail polish. Crackle nail polishes were a huge trend that polarized opinion, it seems you either loved them and had to have every colour (and there were many many colours as virtually every nail polish brand brought out crackle finish nail polishes) or you HATED them and couldn’t stand the look. I have to say I sit somewhere in the middle of these two opinions – I was never much of a fan of crackle manicures but I absolutely adore the effect when creating nail polish jewellery. Peaking through the shattered black is TKB Marinda Star.

Piece 89 is a pair of cufflinks with round faceted glass cabochons (16x16mm) and silver plated French style cuff links. These grown up cufflinks are both understated and stunning – China Glaze’s Deviantly Daring has a subtle duochrome effect and for these cufflinks has been partnered with BYS Black.

Piece 88 is a pair of stud earrings with tear shaped glass cabochons (10x14mm) and silver-plated studs. These earrings are so fun and bold. A simple glitter combination of medium black hex, large white hex and long black bar glitters called Whirled Away from China Glaze’s Cirque collection are paired with the super bright NYX Pimp My Nail.

Piece 87 is a pair of stud earrings with tear shaped glass cabochons (10x14mm) and silver-plated studs. These earrings look like they have been dipped in beautiful pink rose glitter creating a stunning gradient effect. The gorgeous glitter is Jordana Pixie Pink and to compliment the glitter I have used a Willow Street nail polish that I called Milky Joe which is a milky white semi transparent nail polish.

Piece 86 is a necklace with an oval shaped glass cabochon (30x40mm) and an 18-inch silver plated snake chain.  This oval necklace uses a trio of TKB pigments called the Star Bite Collection. Cherika Moon, Merinda Star and Shanika Sun are incredible duochrome shimmer pigments which I have used with clear suspension base to create beautiful topper nail polishes. To emphasise the colour shift in these pigments I have used BYS Black.

Piece 85 is a pair of stud earrings with tear shaped glass cabochons (10x14mm) and silver-plated studs. These earrings use Jordana’s Carnival and the navy jelly base of NYX’s Ink Heart. Like tear shaped drops of the deep ocean.

Piece 84 is a necklace with a round glass cabochon (30x30mm) and an 18-inch silver plated snake chain.  This necklace uses Sinful Colors Nail Junkie and Kleancolor Blue Eyed Girl to create a layered blue glitter effect with incredible depth. I love how the glitter is suspended in layers of inky blue jelly.

Piece 83 is a necklace with a tear shaped glass cabochon (18x25mm) and an 18-inch silver plated snake chain.  In my collection of 500+ nail polishes I only have 1 Hard Candy nail polish. Hard Candy is an American drug store brand and they can be tricky to find to buy online. I am so pleased that this beauty is part of my collection, Hard Candy Beetle is a glass fleck multichrome and is paired with BYS Black.

Piece 82 is a necklace with a oval shaped glass cabochon (30x40mm) and an 18-inch silver plated snake chain.  Flakie nail polishes are incredibly beautiful and Nfu Oh make some of the best ones. This oval necklace uses Nfu Oh 50 and Color Club Ms Socialite.

Piece 81 is a necklace with a tear shaped glass cabochon (18x25mm) and an 18-inch silver plated snake chain.  Ozotic has to be one of the best nail polish brands/lines for creating duochrome and multichrome nail polishes. I buy my Ozotic nail polishes from Picture Polish that is a wonderful Australian nail polish company. This necklace uses Ozotic 521 and BYS Black.

Piece 80 is a pair of stud earrings with tear shaped glass cabochons (10x14mm) and silver-plated studs. These earrings make me think of slices of watermelon! The black seeds (glitter polish LA Girls Uninhibited) and the juicy pink flesh (Ulta3 Pink Colada) which makes a fun and abstract fruity combination!

Piece 79 is a necklace with a round glass cabochon (30x30mm) and an 18-inch silver plated snake chain.  This necklace uses Kleancolor Holo Chrome and Ulta3 Blue Marlin which is an incredibly vibrant and saturated blue.

Piece 78 is a pair of stud earrings with round glass cabochons (8x8mm) and silver-plated studs. Only one nail polish was needed to achieve this explosion of gold glitter – Milani’s Gold. These earrings are the perfect accessory to finish off a look.

Piece 77 is a ring with a high domed round glass cabochon (22x22mm) set on a black enameled filigree adjustable ring. The incredible swirl of CND Raspbetty Sparkle Effects (a colour shifting shimmer nail polish) and saturated BYS Black has been created using a technique called water marbling. This great video tutorial shows you how to create a marbled pattern on your nail and this technique translates well to jewellery!

Piece 76 is a necklace with a round glass cabochon (30x30mm) and an 18-inch silver plated snake chain.  More gradients! This is a glitter gradient that has been created by layering Picture Polish Mask-a-rade (a multicolour duochrome glitter nail polish) and Mode Fashionista. This necklace has a different personality in the sun and the shade so it is sure to be a key piece in your jewellery collection.
