More nail polish rings!

Nfu-Oh 51 & black crackle / Nfu-Oh 52 & black crackle

Various blue glitters & LaRosa Sea Weed / Silver glitter & black crackle

Various purple glitters & Scherer Chameleon / Orly It's Not Rocket Science

 Lace imprint on blue / Nfu-Oh 54, China Glaze Tantalize Me & black crackle

 CND effects on dark purple / Silver glitter & pink 'n' black crackle

These are the same type of cabochons that I used in my previous post. Some of them I love, some just like and a few I consider failed experiments. I had some unwanted side effects with the first epoxy glue I tried (it contained acetone, major FAIL) so I'm waiting for some E6000 to arrive in the mail. I also placed an order for 50 more cabochons and some more "modern style" ring bases (don't like the ones I have now so much), so I might someday have a small nail polish ring shoppe section on my blog.

Nail polish rings!

DS - Original & black crackle / Nfu-Oh - 50 & Sally Hansen Nail Prisms - Burgundy Orchid

Various green glitters & LaRosa - Maroon Red crackle / Dried flowers & China Glaze - White Cap

Holo-blue-purple glitter franken / Blue-purple glitter franken & black crackle

Sinful Colors - Deep Blue Ocean & Sally Hansen - Purple Pizzazz / MAC - Bad Fairy & black crackle

Deborah Lippmann - Happy Birthday & various glitters / Iridescent stars on silver

These are my first attempts at making nail polish jewelry - ten ⌀25mm glass cabochons with matching silver toned ring blanks... uh, except that I do not have any epoxy at my disposal right now so I haven't glued the cabochons to the blanks. :p I absolutely loved making these, and I already ordered ten more cabochons/ring blanks! I want to make a hundred of these! The only one I wasn't that pleased with was the iridescent stars one which I thought was too... cheap and tacky, perhaps? Or one-dimensional compared to the others, dunno. It looks inherently better in the photo above than it did IRL,  sooo I gave the cabochon a nice little acetone bath and tried another combo of colours - hot pink holo and iridescent glitter (no pics yet, sorry)! 8)
