Carolyn Braden, Making old jewelry new!

I love turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, as I do on my YouTube crafting show. For this necklace, I took the top part of my grandmother's wedding ring and had it turned into a pendant. I feel she is with me every time I wear it.

Carolyn Braden Tries Magnetic Nail Polish

Should you try magnetic nail polish? Yes! My nails shine 3 dimensionally and each is a unique design. I ordered Nails Inc. from Sephora's website though many stores have it in stock. I purchased a silver but it also comes in a purple and a teal color. I painted one coat on each nail and let the polish dry. Then I painted a thick coat over one nail at a time. I hovered the magnet (on the lid of the polish) for 15 seconds over each nail to get the black and silver design. It's important you hover the magnet while the polish is very wet or the magnetic design will not develop.
