With color blocking being all the rage nowadays, you can now turn any shades into a fashionable piece with this project by 'Her New Leaf' blog. If you are one of those people who is constantly losing or breaking your sunglasses, then you are probably better off just buying a cheap pair and jazzing them up. The great thing about this is that you can even buy two or three pairs and design them to match your wardrobe.
This super easy do-it-yourself project only requires a few materials, and they include some blue painters tape and different shades of nail polish. You simply place the tape along the arms of the glasses in whatever shape you want, and then paint in between. Once it has been completely dried you remove the tape, and then they are ready to be worn. You can also do a color block by painting the arms all one color; it's such a simple yet creative idea.
