neon rhinestone necklace

so i was looking for a good neon statement necklace but some of the ones i found online were either not good quality or too expensive.  tom binns has some that can run you up to $600!!!  i saw some by adia kibur but the reviews were not good.  so i searched for DIY neon rhinestone necklace and VOILA!  people either painted them with acrylic paint or nail polish.  nail polish was more readily accessible to me so i went to target and got a $2 bottle of neon pink nail polish.  i took a risk by painting this jcrew necklace but if i really really really wanted to, i could take the polish off.  there is some pink residue though as ive discovered when i tested my own nail polishes to see if the color was right.
the outcome was duller than i expected.  in fact, all of the sparkle is basically gone. i tried to paint over it with another nail polish but a top coat or another coat wasnt worth the time or effort.  looks pretty good with one coat, so ill try to wear it like this for now!  excited!

i also attempted to spray paint some forever21 pearl bracelet i had.  but the roundness of the pearls made it hard to get an even coat.  so i gave up.
