Okay, so I’ve been seeing these “jaime jewels” things all over my social media feeds, and you know me, I gotta try the trend. I wasn’t totally sure what they were, but they looked sparkly and fun, so I went for it. Here’s how it went down:
Gathering My Supplies (The Fun Part!)
First, I needed, well, stuff. I hit up my local craft store – you know, the one with all the glitter and beads you could ever dream of? Yeah, that one. I grabbed:
- Gems: Obviously! I got a variety pack with different sizes and colors. I figured more options, more fun, right?
- Adhesive: I found some special body glue. Figured it would be, I don’t know, safer for my skin?
- Tweezers: Because my fingers are clumsy,and tiny gems!
- Some kind of Design: I found some inspiration for my design online.
The “Application” Process (aka Sticking Stuff to Myself)
Alright, so I had my little workstation set up, mirror ready, and… I kinda just stared at everything for a minute. Like, where do I even start? I decided to keep it simple for my first try. I went with a little cluster of gems near the corner of my eye.
The body glue was kinda weird. It was sticky, but not too sticky, you know? I put a tiny dot on the back of each gem with the tweezers (thank goodness for those!), and then carefully placed them on my skin. It took a few tries to get them lined up how I wanted, but hey, that’s part of the fun, I guess.
The Big Reveal (and Some Minor Mishaps)
Okay, so after about, I don’t know, 20 minutes of sticking and re-sticking, I was done! I stepped back from the mirror and… I actually kinda liked it! It was subtle, but sparkly and different. I felt like a fancy fairy or something.
I did have one little mishap, though. I accidentally bumped one of the gems while I was admiring my handiwork, and it fell off. And of course, it landed sticky-side down on my shirt. Let’s just say there’s a little extra sparkle on my shirt now, too. Whoops!
The Final Verdict?
Overall, I’d say this “jaime jewels” thing is pretty fun! It’s a cool way to add a little something extra to your look without, like, committing to anything permanent. I’m definitely gonna try some more designs. Maybe next time I’ll go bigger and bolder. Or maybe not. We’ll see!
It’s a great look, though!
