I have several loves. Two are nail polish and jewelry. Naturally, you assume never the twain will meet, but wait a minute! They do meet in the capable hands of Ginger Kitty Designs.
You've maybe heard of her jewelry before, but if you haven't you're in for a treat. Even if you're not a huge polish junkie (but especially if you are) you'll love these designs.
Artist Tracey Barker creates one-of-a-kind, handcrafted jewelry that incorporates nail polish. Before I go any further, let's take a look at a few:
This one may be my favorite.
It's China Glaze's holographic polish Octa Gone Wild in a ring.
It was featured in Nails Magazine!
OPI's Mad as a Hatter.
Are you freaking kidding me?! Love it!
I'm not sure what color this is,
but does it really matter?
GORGEOUS!
So, this pendant is amazing, right?
In it, my favorite polish in the whole wide world:
China Glaze Coconut Kiss
(and OPI Ink and CG Octa Gone Wild and Emerald Sparkle)
It's a nail polish water-marbling technique unique to GingerKittyDesigns!
No wait... these might be my favorite!
China Glaze Nova.
A really cute nail polish bottle with your choice of "filling"!
Konad fan? She's got them, too!
Amazeballs.
I want to grab this handful and run!
I wanted to show you the newest pieces she's making (as if all of those other ones aren't tempting enough!). New (brand spankin' new) to the Ginger Kitty Designs line-up are stunning bracelets. Hold onto your hat, gals...
I know, right?
And do you want to know the crazy thing about these pieces? I mean aside from the fact that you can wear your favorite nail polish as jewelry. And the fact that you can pick your polish (she's got a list). And that you can have a custom-made matching set --- or a zillion different pieces to mix-and-match. The really crazy thing is: they're all really great prices*
*At the time of this writing, all items seem to be marked down 25%, so it's a perfect time to shop!
