Tom Binns Inspired Nail-Polish & Rhinestone Necklace DiY

This is one of the simplest projects ever, but I had to share.   Here's the inspiration:

I just love Tom Binns' neon rhinestone creations, but can't quite afford the hefty price tags ($400 and up!). So, I picked up a few vintage rhinestone necklaces to re-create the look.  

Like I said, the project is super easy:  I just pulled out some of my favorite nail-polish shades and painted over the rhinestones in a pattern that I liked. It might seem hard to avoid the little metal pieces that hold the stones in, but if you take a look at the Tom Binns versions, they're actually painted over, too. So, I didn't worry about it.

Here is a snapshot of me wearing it last week:

I actually have a couple of rhinestone necklaces that I was going to layer on top of each other to get a more impactful look, but I was happy with the single necklace for now. (We'll see how I'm feeling next week)
