Nobody likes a green finger...

I bet you're wondering what the heck this post is about, aren't you?

Have you ever had a ring that you absolutely loved, but that darn thing turned your finger green? (I feel like this is starting to sound like an infomercial, lol)

I recently told you guys how I bought a new ring that I really love (it looks like stackable rings, but it's not). I got it for $6--how can you beat it, right?
Tres cute!
Well, that sucker turned my finger green within 30 minutes of wearing it!

I was totally bummed, cuz I didn't even get to enjoy it for a full day before it started changing my skin colors. Drats! I thought about all kinds of things I could do to fix this problem (none of which involved NOT wearing the ring), and after a little Google search I found that one of my thoughts was actually right!

It's actually a quick, easy, and cheap solution if you have this problem.
Clear Nail Polish!

Coat the inside of the ring with a layer of clear nail polish. Let it dry and the voila! No more green finger.

Note: do not use Top Coat to do this. It chips off the next day when you wear it.
Ask me how I know this!

So, now you can buy all the cheap jewelry you want without having to worry about being mistaken for a relative of Kermit the Frog!

Problem solved :)

  1. Hahahaha! I LOVE this! And totally have a couple of rings I will be performing this little 'procedure' on. I'm always bummed when I find out that some of my jewelry (ahem, Charming Charlie/Francesca's) turns my skin Kermit colored, but never knew what to do about it! Thanks for sharing this Jenn - definitely a bit of advice I will be utilizing in the near future! After all, all of our jewelry can't be real;)
