Yay for deco iphone 3g case!
Heehee I finally got an iPhone! Yay lots of fun, the most fun part is deco-ing it!
What do you think? I ran out of jewels 🙁 I’ll order more soon to finish her. Her name is Ruri btw 😀 Props if you get the reference!
Do you have a deco iphone?

Super Glue- Ok but tends to warp the surface of whatever you’re adding your jewels to. Again good for a quick fix but I wouldn’t bother if you want them to stay on permanently.
Self Stick jewels/sticking sheets- These tend to be ok but you should expect them to come off eventually when the jewel gets bumped around and wriggles off the sticky paper. This is the best option if you would like to change your jewels often.
Epoxy Glue- THE BEST GLUE EVER. Ok there seems to be some kind of confusion over exactly what epoxy glue is… basically it comes in two seperate tubes and you add equal parts of it together and then it hardens at varying speeds depending on what type you buy. This guy is awesome. It doesn’t damage your items, it dries clear, there are varieties with different drying times depending on how confident you are with your deco skills and I have NEVER lost a jewel after I’ve glued it. It is available from hardware stores but I get mine at the $2 store near my house.
So the winner is- Epoxy glue! Hurrah!
*Update* Readers have suggested that E600 glue might be even better than epoxy, I don’t have any but when I test it out I’ll let you all know! */Update*

Gel nails and junk.
Life can be fun sometimes. I tried out gel nails for the first time last night and let me tell you, they SUCKED. I am not a fan at all.
I followed the directions exactly and what I was left with was an icky ridgy mess of nails that looked ridiculous. After finishing the height of the gel didn’t even reach the tips so there was a terrible ridge line across the nail where they meet.
Hmm, maybe I didn’t do it right. Clearly many people love gel nails, maybe I should get them done professionally. I want to do a nail course so I can learn all the tips and tricks!
For now though, I think I’m going to stick with my good old fashioned acrylics.
Goodbye gel nails.
