SUNDAY SECRET: HOW TO KEEP RINGS FROM TARNISHING

Sunday Secret : How to keep rings from tarnishing 

 I love wearing rings, I just can't afford to spend lots of money on them! Being a student and paying bills must unfortunately come higher up in my list of priorities than feeding my ring addiction. The thing with buying 'cheap' rings is that they tarnish quickly and often leave your fingers surrounded by a lovely green/black circle, not an attractive look! I use the term 'cheap' loosely, these rings may not be real silver or gold but they normally cost over a fiver each and the £££ soon add up.

 This little gem of advice came from my Nan who always full of wisdom. To stop the inside of your ring turning your finger green simply apply a layer of clear nail varnish and wave goodbye to nasty stains. This also works for the outside of rings to stop them tarnishing and turning bronze simple apply a layer of clear polish over the top. As the varnish is clear you won't be able to spot the difference but your rings will stay looking good as new for longer! 

(Pre- treating)

 Any clear nail polish will do I normally use Barry M All in one: topcoat, base-coat and nail hardener. It's cheap at £2.99, widely available and does the trick (works great for nails too). To be honest any old clear varnish you have lying around will work, the less money you need to spend the better!

Hope this little tip will help your rings last longer,
