A few weeks ago, we went to a sort of estate sale. ‘Sort of’ because no one had died, they were just downsizing. One of the things we picked up was a deviled eggs plate- one of those plates with egg shaped hollows for eggs. We bought it for a friend who always makes deviled eggs for herself and her friends.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s a practical and cute dish, but when we handed it to her I could tell she was less than thrilled. This is a woman who dies her hair rainbow, after all. So I said, you can use nailpolish and color it!<\/p>\n

And she did. And it looked awesome. And I looked at my plain egg dish and thought, ‘you came up with that idea, can’t you do it too?’ And thus, this post. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

and her art page is here<\/a>, so you can see for yourself why that was obviously too boring…<\/p>\n

Above is my plate. \ud83d\ude42 Here is my nailpolish collection.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, first, to choose nice spring colors…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And here it is with one coat of each color I chose. Some of these polishes are definitely higher quality! I will let these dry and do another coat (or 10).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ok, three coats, and looking, well, sloppy. Now to clean them up and add details.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So far I have learned that the cheapo LA Girl and Wet n Wild work great compared to some of my more expensive polishes. And I have learned that this stuff works wonders. The streaks stopped when I added two drops to the polishes. So don’t throw out clumpy polish! Give it new life, and throw it out because you don’t like it, not because it went bad. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

So, I have been using my manicure tools to paint up the eggs. Done of them are better than others, but overall they are fun. I didn’t balance the colors well, so if you do this, I wish you better luck. I like the dots more than the stripes.<\/p>\n

The larger dots were actually just the handle end of the paint brushes. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

It’s not easy to do the stripes. I need more practice, but the painters tape is so much more convenient than the tape designed for nails.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And, finally, it’s done! I really hope it lasts. It took a while. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

My son says it looks like it came off Pinterest. I will take that as a compliment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And it’s not going to be mixing with food or stored with food or heated with food. And nai lpolish doesn’t come with warnings not to bite your nails anyway, so it’s pretty safe. IANAL, YMMV, etc.<\/p>\n
