    Dizzy Preventing rhinestones from falling out of heels without dulling the sparkle

    Does anyone have a suggestion to help prevent rhinestones falling out of heels? I had a pair of pleaser stardust heels and within a week half of the rhinestones had fallen out... i was thinking maybe clear nail polish around each one of them (even though that would be time consuming and tedious) but I'm worried about the clear nail polish then dulling the sparkle of the rhinestones, which is the purpose of them...

    also, i'm interested in buying these pleaser bejeweled heels but am worried about the rhinestones falling out, and no way of "sealing" them without completely dulling the shine since they are COMPLETELY covered in rhinestones.

    HELP PLEASE!!!

    Clear nail polish will dull your bling.

    Have you contacted pleaser to tell them about these issues?


    Your best bet would be to re-attach stones to the shoes using E-6000 glue... http://www.amazon.com/E6000-Clear-Mu.../dp/B000XZTD14 but that is very tedious and time consuming.



    My advice: If you had an issue with bling falling off of your shoes, don't make the mistake of purchasing a pricier shoe from a company that obviously makes hinky merchandise. Also... try and get a replacement for your star-dust's or at least a refund.

    If you're having issues, definitely contact pleaser. I've never had an problem with rhinestones or glitter coming off of their shoes and boots. If they've come off that quickly, the manufacturer should be made aware of a potential problem with that particular line of heels.

    that's the main reason why I haven't bought those shoes. I doubt it would be hard to replace / reglue the rhinestones but tbh, I don't think that I should have to.

    I would check out glitterheels.com as well

    and you are supporting a stripper when you order them

    Alethea Austin promoted them in her two new videos. It seems that some glitter comes off of them but I think that is just the extra glitter that didn't really need to be on there.

    I was told to use Diamond Glaze to help keep the stones on without dulling them.

    I had a question about the Pleaser shoes, anyone know if they are Swarovski crystals?

    Gemtac!! It's the best for gluing on rhinestones without eroding the back (which makes it shiny). You can order online, ebay, or go to Joann or Michael's Craft Store.

    Shoes that have those crystals on them, I put them in a seperate bag in case the crystals fall off its in there. Instead of mixing it with my other work shit. I love bling shoes too.

    I currently own the heels in 6" muti-color rhinestones. The stones do fall out. There's extras stones included in the box. So they are replaceable. The glue doesn't come with it. The shoes are very bling.

    I have those shoes and as of now only a few have fallen off but I'm using them as special occasion only shoes and keeping them in the box when I'm not wearing them.
