Lines Across: Nail Polish Bobby Pins

The Test:


You'll need: Plain metal bobby pins, nail polish, index card or cardstock

What to do: Slide the bobby pins onto the index card or cardstock.  Make sure to space them out. 


Paint them with any nail polish you like - basic colors, glitter polish, it doesn't matter.  Some colors may need a second coat.


Let them dry and carefully slide them off the index card or cardstock.  It's that simple!
 


 
I put mine on a clean index card for storage.  You can also make a matching or complementing set and slide them onto a small piece of scrapbook paper, a pretty card, or a decorated index card and give it as a gift.
 
I've already used mine several times, and I haven't had any problems with chipping polish, which was a concern my mom mentioned.  I love mine!
 
The Grade:

    I love these. It makes me want to start doing tests, and posting about the outcomes. Especially cause I have a bunch of stuff to try on Pinterest. And these are one of them!

Now alone, Levi is determined to rescue what remains of his people, even if it means entering the Safe Lands, a walled city that seems anything but safe. Omar knows he betrayed his brother by sending him away, but helping the enforcers was necessary. Living off the land and clinging to an outdated religion holds his village back. The Safe Lands has protected people since the plague decimated the world generations ago … and its rulers have promised power and wealth beyond Omar’s dreams. Meanwhile, t...

Firmoo: Global Online Optical Store (Review and Giveaway!)

One thing you, my lovely readers, may not be aware of - or may be confused about - is that I wear glasses.  Most of the images on my blog show me wearing my lovely Vera Bradley glasses, although my main photo (see me in the green dress in the right sidebar?) was taken while I was wearing contacts. My entire family actually wears glasses, contacts, or a combination.  That adds up to a good deal of money in eye doctor appointments, prescriptions, and new glasses - lens and frames - and contacts.  So when Firmoo , an international online glasses company, approached me about a review and giveaway, of course I said yes!
