Very Cool re-use of glitzy bits.
Have fun at the beach showing off your recycled gems! xo
This is great!!! Love your pretty model's nail polish too.
I agree, glitzy but not over the top - perfect! Your minions are ever the sweetest and the best sports.
Sweet!!! Nostalgia, thrifty, repurposed and fashionable, all wrapped up in one.
Very pretty and I love the nail polish.
