DIY: Everyday Sparkle

DIY | 11 June 2013

Check out these fun ways to add sparkle to your everyday accessories and enjoy some one-of-a-kind shine:

- The Wanna Be Heartin’ Something Ring started out as a beautiful basic, but we pumped it up a notch with red glitter for a look as classic as Dorothy’s infamous ruby slippers.

- White and teal glitter gives the Trip to Tri-Land Earrings an eye-catching new look that’s inspired by another LuLu*s favorite: the Can You Zig It? Teal Chevron Print Dress.

- A little glitter can make an inexpensive pair of heels turn into a posh one-of-a-kind pair! From date night, to girls’ night out, the My Delicious Date Black Patent Pumps are sure to be a sparkly hit with some glitter added to the heel.

Helpful Hint: The trick when using glitter is to make sure you find the right adhesive. Your local craft store will have a lot of options to choose from, so check the label (or ask a friendly sales associate!) and you will have no problem finding the right glue option for your DIY project.

Good luck!

DIY: Glitter Wine Glasses

DIY | 28 May 2013

by Brianne

Put some more sparkle in your life with these pretty DIY glitter wine glasses!

What You Need: Wine Glasses, Glitter, Mod Podge, Brush, and a Piece of Paper (to catch the extra glitter).

1) Coat the handle of the glass in glue (we used Mod Podge).

2) While being careful to stay over the paper, sprinkle glitter onto the glass. Don’t be shy with the glitter! You can use the paper to dump the extra back into your glitter container.

3) Let the glass dry and repeat steps 1 and 2 until you reach your desired level of sparkle.

4) Put at least two layers of Mod Podge on top of the last layer of glitter so that the glitter won’t come off in your hand.

Helpful Tip: These glasses are hand wash only so make sure they don’t end up in the dishwasher!

Gather the gals, and start sipping in style!

LuLu*s How To: Removing Glitter Nail Polish

Beauty | 21 May 2012

by Brittany

If you’ve ever used a textured, glittery nail polish, it can be a nightmare to remove, especially if you love changing up your polish as often as I do. Now you don’t have to waste any more time scrubbing and scraping that glitter off, because we’ve found a great way to get the polish off without all the hassle!

Materials needed:

Cotton balls/strips
Acetone
Aluminum foil

Instructions:

*I recommend doing one hand at a time so that there’s no mess and you’re able to secure the foil on each finger.

Take pieces of the cotton balls/strips, dab some acetone on them and place on the nail.
Cut the foil into strips large enough to fit around your finger tips.
Wrap the foil around the nail and the cotton.
Wait 5-10 minutes and the glitter polish will slide right off!
