polished earrings

I'm so excited. i have no clue why I didn't do this earlier.  I love accessories , but having a baby makes it trickier, and i had formerly stretched my ears to 0 gauges twice before, not my ears are back to a 10, but still limit what i can wear, i normally gotta stick with light weight earrings, if i don't wanna use ear tape. Ear tape is just like tape help ears not sag form earring as much.

so any ways i like to stick to this style, i hear them referred to as button earrings most the time. I get mine form H&M most the time, as shown above a set of theirs. $3.95 for 4 pairs. a great price, but every time there a pair im just not to crazy for. Like the gold pair above, i last bought 2 set, each came with a gold pair, and sliver like it. i have no clue why i didn't think of sooner, hello nail polish, i own over 30 colors! 

Most us girl has used our nail polish on something other than other nails, weather it be a babydoll maker over or scratch on the car (not good). so i took a gold pair, and some really glitter china glaze i got for .50 on clearance. Here the outcome.

My camera does no justice, i dont know what i'll wear them with but i will. im just so excited, i feel like i'm paying just a dollar each again, cause i'll wear em all. Of course polish chips, but i guess we'll see how long it last. I just wish this duh simple idea popped in my head long ago. Same style of earrings at Walmart, my sister in law & I found in Christmas clearance just .25 a pop! so we got some for my older niece her sister's ear were still too little :). it was mostly christmas designs but we should of grabbed like $5! worth. And broke our our nail polishes boxes, oh wells. :) I think walmart still sell them too, a lil larger than H&M a $1 and for most people in a closer distance.

If you never shopped at H&M try em out, prices are like forever 21. your be like "OMGZILLA" over how affordalbe on half the store and the other half on outrageous prices are.
