Nail Polish Marbling

This is sooo cool!! Have you seen this before? I saw something like this on Pinterest and thought it looked like a fun craft to do.

If you're on Pinterest, I'd love for you to follow me! Here's an easy link that will take you there, follow The Stonybrook House.

So, here's the background to the story. I'm trying to 'springify' my house a bit. Simple, uncluttered, fresh and clean looking. Here's the entry area. Yeah...It's almost too bare, but I'm not done yet.

I love the bright flowers, (even if they are fake), but the vase, not so much.

Plus you can see all of the ugly stems. Yes, they're fake, but let's not advertise that they are!

Well, that's about to change! First, I spray painted the vase white. I used my favorite spray paint Rustoleum Painter's Touch 2X in Blossom White. Seriously it is the best spray paint!! 

It's still pretty cold in my neck of the woods, so it's not really warm enough to spray paint, but I just ran outside spray painted and ran back inside for it to dry. It worked. 😍

To do the nail polish marbling, you'll need a large bucket filled about half way with water.

Put a few drops of each nail polish color in the water. It was trial and error. Some polish spread quickly, some just blobbed. I was surprised how differently the nail polishes reacted to the water.

If I didn't like the way the colors went together, I just "scooped" it with a toothpick and started over. You need to work a bit fast. After you drop in the nail polish, then you just dip the vase in the water and it magically sticks to the vase. Cool, right?!

I just love the detail, it looks like soft flower petals. Plus it was a lot of fun! Can you think of all the possibilities?!

After I dipped it I set it upside down and let it dry. I then spray painted a clear coat on it, to seal it.

Now, that's a better start to decorating! A little more styling and we'll be ready for spring! 

Blessings!
