[@helmsrachel7]

I am looking at doing this for wedding shoes. but I LOVE LOVE LOVE your nails and rings! so cute!

[@studioduskus]

Toothjewelpick 😂 I feel so lucky that a touchlevison isn’t required when I’m your studio mate 😆 these are EPIC. Period.

[@CESTLAVIC]

LOL I gave up after that. Thanks for watching sis, and now, MORE RECORDING TALKING HEAD vids in front of each other! #accountabilitypartner

[@meganporostovsky8858]

Love the shoes!! But, do you use the rubbing alcohol before you put the glue on the shoe? Or what product did you use?

[@CESTLAVIC]

I used acetone to remove the factory finish. For this project I’d recommend sanding the surface slightly too before adding the pearls

[@brionnabarnes9121]

Thank you, I was about ask myself! I appreciate it!!

7:58 What you use to remove factory coating

[@theresahalbert4044]

Thank you so much. I am going to decorate a pair of converse high tops for a costume and was trying to fing a great video to show me how. This is exactly what I was looking for.

[@stacihubble6151]

I really enjoyed this video! I admire the patience you have to glue all those small pearls so tightly on the sneakers. I think I would give up after the swoosh hahaaa

[@CESTLAVIC]

Thank you Staci, really glad you enjoyed it! I kept wondering what they would look like so I felt like I HAD to make them! It definitely tested my patience, for sure!

[@PasDAutreNomPasGrave]

Seeing the whole process is just soooo good ! The whole editing is awesome too, gg !

[@CESTLAVIC]

Awww thanks Gotie! It was definitely a long process, I only captured content for ONE of the two sneakers, worth it if you liked it!

[@Emmegan2]

What did you use to remove the factory finish? Rubbing alcohol?

[@nostalgicstudy101]

Incredible job

[@overly.chromatic]

lmaoooooooo imagining the smell of a whole tube of E6000

[@jezziegarcia8831]

Hi! Ive been trying to find the right glue for leather boots (dr.martens) to add gems to. I've used B7000 and i havend had luck yet. Im just doing the toe and back so im hoping they would be ideal for everyday use. Do you think if you didn't add pearls to the entire shoe it would have held up? I just don't want to try doing multiple shoes to end up ruining them... thanks 🥰

[@AOD92]

Hello & how r u. U mention Sanding the sneaker do u use the 400, 600, & 1500 grit sandpapers & How do u know when enough is enough Sanding. R u sanding the raise ridges all over the Sneakers. I hope I'm saying that right. Thanks 4 sharing ur knowledge.

[@CESTLAVIC]

Only a light sanding will do, you can use a high grit like 400-600, you just want to rough it up a bit so glue can stick. I avoid the seams and only sand what I’m going to cover with pearls.

[@AOD92]

@@CESTLAVIC thanks so much 👋

[@chanellewalker1986]

I want to do these for my wedding

[@overly.chromatic]

What are you using for prep? Haven't seen that brown bottle before!

[@CESTLAVIC]

It’s just acetone!

[@royaltycustomsneakers]

i just did 2 whole shoes with rhinestones, it took me 32 hours to finish

[@CESTLAVIC]

I think this process took me over 40+ hours, probably because of those darn tiny ones! But yeah 30-40 hours sounds about right. I applaud your patience 😂

[@briandagarcia-medina3445]

What liquid did u use to remove the factory finish on the shoes?

[@CESTLAVIC]

Acetone!

[@sabrinatu2732]
