    I'm from another country and I am shocked at how expensive "fake" jewelry is in the United States and it's even worse when you turn green just from the second or first time putting it on!

    I don't wear custom cocktail jewelry - you can get cocktail jewelry in sterling silver and stainless steel and sometimes sterling silver and stainless steel can cost less and look more expensive. Also clear nail polish locks in rhinestones from falling out of brooches

    Thanks ladies! I have a wedding ring I haven’t been able to wear for like a month because I jammed my finger but now it’s too small. So being bummed that I haven’t been able to wear it because of how long I’ve been married I decided to take some left over copper pipe and make a ring that fits. It turned out amazing but it tarnished over night and turned my finger green. I’m going to use this hack. Thank you.

    I absolutely love the tip but have a quick question. I have. A few pieces that I love to wear that are vintage and worth a bit of money. Not real but early 1900s. Will the clear nail polish be ok or will it hurt my antique/vintage pieces

    • @dvrgrace
      @dvrgrace 2 года назад +3

      Sorry for a very late reply, Jenn. I'm assuming since your pieces are vintage, you should take many precautions towards what you do with them. Using this tip might be bad for those pieces since the pieces they're covering in the video aren't that vintage. I'd suggest just wearing those vintage pieces for certain events and not over wearing them, as they only turn your skin green after a certain amount of time.

    I've been trying to wear fake earrings forever as I've only ever warned real gold jewelry. Tried a few times wearing fake jewelry such as earrings, necklaces, and rings and turned green my skin. Only bracelets seemed to never turned my wrist green. Do I still use clear polish on fake earrings and whatever else aside from rings?
