Blinging a camera ♡

Got a new camera last month and only just found time to buy Swarovskis to bling it with. I could never find the time to head over to the crystal store on Arab Street as they close at 6pm on weekdays, and I have work till 530pm :(

The camera I got was the mirrorless Olympus Pen Mini EPM-1 in pink! I was deciding between this and the Nikon J1, I liked this more~ ♡♥♡ But one sad thing is that it lacks is a front screen, unlike my older camera.

But, this give more HQ images, has pretty filters and interchangeable lens, so I can live with that. It also gives me a chance to regain self-shot skills, which I threw away after getting a camera with a front-screen hehehe :D

Decided that I wanted a pink-ish color scheme and bought the bling~ ♡

The base /filler is mostly AB 9 and Sun AB 9, with some AB 14 and Sun AB 12 for size variation. Used Rose 9 and Indian Pink 12 for color accents, while butterfly-shaped crystals in AB and Rose 34 added size accents.

The ring around is Light Siam AB 14.

The crown in the corner is the same as the one on my phone, they were originally a pair of earrings but I cut off the earring part.

Full front view, the body is actually really tiny compared with the lens!

So I didn't feel satisfied blinging just the front and hence, I blinged the sides/back and the flash.

Front/side view.

Back view, blinged the flash too! ♡

The flash and lens are detachable :)

I love my new camera and feel so happy just to use it! ♡♥♡

I did not use up all the crystals I bought, but if I were to estimate the cost of blinging this camera, it would probably be around S$50? This is around how much it was for my old camera, which required more crystals. However, for this camera most of the crystals I used were AB coated; they cost more than regular uncoated crystals.

Compared to the cameras, the crystals for my phone cost more, though that can probably be attributed to the size of that area to be blinged. For this camera, the body is tiny, and much of the space in front is taken up by the lens, so that really decreases the area to be blinged. For the phone on the other hand, it's just one large rectangular area, so more bling was needed, and more bling = more $$$.

All these photos were taken with my phone ♡ Sometimes I feel lazy to use a real camera because phones have all the amazing apps that have pretty filters and frames (*´д`*) Anyway, for some reason, I feel happy when I'm blinging stuff, and I haven't blinged anything since my pen last year :( So I was really glad during these few hours I was blinging the camera~ :D
