I started playing around with nail polish on metal last spring when I created the Lucky Green Washer Necklace and then I made more Washer Necklaces because I never know when to stop. Like potato chips only not as bad for your cholesterol!

I love that nail polish is something I have here at home, it is pretty inexpensive and comes in a wide range of colors and finishes.  Man, don’t you wish you could say that about more art supplies?

To add color to these Rue Romantique bezels I painted nail polish on in a fairly thin coat and let it dry.

I painted on a second coat and let it ALMOST dry. While the paint was still a little tacky I rubbed on a little silver foil then let the polish dry completely.

To finish it up that I added a little text with paper and then finished it all off with ICE Resin. I like the way the silver and the paper appear to float inside the bezel.

All I need to do now is add earring wires and I have a new pair of earrings!

Nail polish. Who knew!

Have you discovered an unusual use for nail polish?
