Saint Salvage

This project started with a pair of tangerine orange "fireworks" style clip-on earrings that I got at an estate sale.       As you can see, the beads are on head and eye pins that are secured to a circular metal screen backing. They have clip on backs that are corroded! Yuck!!!   I don't know exactly when they were made. I suspect 50s / 60s era.   They were made in Japan.   I cut off the clip on backs and epoxied on new silver pierced backs.   Good as new! Saint Salvage strikes again!

Time for another gel manicure! I went out to my local CVS over the weekend, and bought these Sensationail  colors: Amber Lights and Tahiti Sunset . I decided to hop on the tangerine color trend, and also attempt my first ever "French style" manicure. I followed the same steps as before.... doing the prep (shaping, buffing, applying the primer and applying the base coat, curing with the Sensational LED light. then, a THIN coat of the Amber Lights. Cure, add a THIN second coat of Amber Lights.  Then, I added Tahiti Sunset on the tips and cured it. Then, back to the clear top coat, cure, and alcohol pads. Done in approximately 15 minutes! Easy, peasy, with no STINKY odor! Here's what the finished product looked like..... a fresh, tangy "French" gel manicure!
