Try a piercing without the commitment or pain with this faux jewelry.
Transcript
00:00Hi, I'm Kelsey and welcome to Try This Challenge.
00:02I'm going to try and fool everybody around me using these faux piercings.
00:08I have no piercings, my ears aren't even pierced, absolutely zero piercings on my body.
00:13I just have earlobe piercings right now, but I used to have my cartilage done.
00:16I've definitely considered it multiple times.
00:18But yeah, I haven't been brave enough to try it.
00:21Faux jewelry is really cool because you can test it out before making the permanent choice
00:25of getting your nose pierced or your ear pierced.
00:27I've always kind of wanted to get my nostril pierced.
00:31These are like industrial, crazy piercings.
00:35These definitely catch my eye and they're spring-loaded, so it looks like they'll grip really well.
00:39I'm definitely nervous and excited for this challenge.
00:42I'm nervous how people are going to receive it, especially those that are closer to me.
00:46But I'm definitely excited to just test out a new look for the week.
00:49I'm kind of nervous about just the new experience of walking around.
00:53Follow me for the next three days and see how it works out.
00:55It's day one.
00:56I'm feeling a little nervous.
00:58I'm just trying to decide where I should put my first fake piercing.
01:01I'm just going to start with a nose ring and see how I feel about it.
01:05There you go.
01:05It's cute.
01:06So I think I'm going to put it somewhere in my ear.
01:09I kind of like this spot.
01:10I think it's kind of cool and trendy.
01:12Here we go.
01:14I think it looks pretty good.
01:15And I wanted to wear my hair in a ponytail today so that people can see my cool new piercing.
01:22I'm at work.
01:23I don't know why I thought this challenge was going to feel weird.
01:28Honestly, the weirdest thing about it is walking around and talking to myself on my phone.
01:33No one's really said too much about my earring.
01:35It was really windy out earlier when I went to go get lunch and I thought it was going to
01:39blow away.
01:39But other than that, it's been all good.
01:41It's the end of day one and it was pretty uneventful.
01:46I mean, I don't know what I was expecting, but I really didn't get any reactions at all.
01:50Hey guys, so you know how I mentioned how the earring was kind of loose and I was afraid
01:54the wind would blow it off.
01:55Well, I don't know where it is.
01:59I just reached for it and realized it wasn't there, so I found it.
02:06Hi guys.
02:07Good morning.
02:08We're going to put that back in the same spot this morning and really make sure it's
02:12on there.
02:14So, as another addition, I have one that's basically the same earring, just a little bit
02:19thicker.
02:21We're going to put it up here and see if anyone notices at work today.
02:25Okay.
02:26So, same as yesterday.
02:28Let's pop it on.
02:30This one's not on very securely.
02:32I'm trying to just kind of slide this onto my cartilage.
02:35There we go.
02:37There.
02:39Hey guys.
02:40Day two in the office with my fake piercings.
02:44No one's noticed.
02:45No one's said anything, which makes me think that maybe they look fake.
02:49I feel like they do kind of look fake because you can see the little knots on them.
02:54It's day two.
02:55I'm going home.
02:56Somebody finally noticed.
02:57She said, nice lip ring.
02:59She thought it was real and I had to tell her the truth because I can't lie to people.
03:04Then she said, oh, and I like your hair.
03:07Hi guys.
03:07Here we are at the end of day two with two piercings.
03:12No one ended up commenting on my earrings in the office today.
03:17I just sent a few Snapchats to people I don't see on the daily and made sure that they
03:22could see them and they just responded, when did you get your ears pierced?
03:27But tomorrow we're going to try putting in one of these in my nose and we'll see if
03:33anyone notices then.
03:34It's day three of the try this challenge.
03:36So I wanted to go out with a bang.
03:38So I think it's time to finally do this guy.
03:41This thing is huge.
03:43This magnet is so strong it's going to grip through my skin.
03:47I've decided to do one more piece of jewelry because why not?
03:50It's the last day.
03:51And I haven't tried a septum ring yet.
03:54I don't know if this one is going to work.
03:56It's already falling off.
03:58Hey guys.
03:58Here we are with the third day of try this challenge.
04:01I'm going to try and do a nose piercing today.
04:04I'll be putting on the nose right away.
04:05This is not going to last long.
04:09That was dangerous.
04:10I could have swallowed it.
04:11So I've had this nose piercing in for a few hours now and instead of feeling edgy and
04:17badass like I thought I was going to feel, I feel kind of stupid because it feels like
04:24I have a hula hoop hanging from my nose like look at the swing on this.
04:27I just saw my therapist.
04:29She said, there's something different about you.
04:32I like it.
04:33What is it?
04:34Very good.
04:35Then she said, oh it's your pants.
04:38I love your pants.
04:41I mean they are nice pants.
04:45So the challenge is over.
04:48Would I do it again?
04:49I think I would.
04:50I definitely feel a lot more confident after doing this and a lot more willing to try new
04:56things.
04:57I'm unsure whether I'm going to actually get my ears pierced after this entire experiment.
05:01If anything, I will start up my lobes and then maybe work my way up to my cartilage,
05:05but who knows.
05:06But thank you so much for watching Try This Challenge and we'll see you next time.
05:10we'll see you next time.
05:11So go down.
05:11There's too.
05:11There's so much process here.
05:12You
