SUSAN BELLONE: Hi. I'm Susan Bellone on behalf of Expert Village. Today, we are going to
learn how to build an earring wardrobe. If you have sensitive skin and are concerned
about wearing post earrings that are made out of metal other than 14 karat gold, you
have some options available. You can get a bottle of clear nail polish and coat the back
of the post. There are also companies that make products to coat the back of the earring
posts, and it works in basically the same way as a nail polish, clear nail polish. You
coat the post, and make sure if the backing has metal on it, that it's coated as well.
In this way, the metal never touches your skin. Let it dry about an hour, and then you
should be ready to wear your earrings even if you have sensitive skin. Since you now
have a couple of options to coat earring backings, if you do have sensitive skin, you no longer
need to feel hesitant about costume jewelry.
