This is a simple but effective DIY which only takes about half an hour but leaves you with unique and gorgeous shoes;
You will need:
- 1 pair of Black Wedged Heels (I recommend buying these from
New Look as they aren't too expensive if you mess up.)
- 2/3 bottles of relatively cheap glitter nail polish (I used gold and silver from the Technic range)
- A pencil with a very light lead hardness (anything lighter than HB)
- A basic idea of what you want the pattern to look like. (It may be wise to draw pattern ideas on a piece of paper first.)
How to:
1. Make sure that the shoes are clean enough to work on.
2. Draw a
faint outline of your pattern in the pencil mentioned in 'You will need'. (You should only just be able to see the line.)
3. Using the glitter nail polish begin to dab and spread the liquid across the area of your pattern, being careful not to overshoot the faint lines.
4. If you have a second/third colour(s) to add layer these over the top using the same technique.
5. Leave your heels to dry.
Side note: If you want to make sure the glitter definitely doesn't come off, then I suggest that you go over the pattern with clear nail polish after. If you're being a bit more inventive with your pattern you could apply different colours of glitter nail polish in different areas and then layer/not layer them at the edges, the choice is yours!
