We collected our decorations from the loft this weekend and I decided that as I was a little [a lot] too early, I may as well have a sort through and see what might go back up. Last year, I had a serious glitter glue problem, so gave some old 'filler' baubles a make over and had absolutely no reason to buy any more...but I did. I forgot about them, but here they are:

I remember now that they were 10p in the January sales and I planned to jazz them up somehow this Christmas. So here they are, my nail varnish 'dipped' baubles.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoNXoAUhl2rQ5ZjO73nFhFVsJdK1WLj1E8Q5VmK8Tk5IfdlerMNUREeZvb_YfTMYsvuuup9cF5YXwDKo3EUB3aDIoX68HZyfbh57mepIDPuEhBHnkKpi09VLIoh-mwDqQ1zNHnJzX99jE/s640/1.jpg)

I don't have an infinite number of pretty paint pots to turn to, but what I do have a lot of is nail varnish. There are so many benefits - it dries incredible fast, only needs 2 or 3 coats and its even, not streaky and it has it's own - no need to clean - brush, which can make detailed or bold patterns. Perfect. The smell disappears fast enough too, but that is the only downside. I am very late with the dipped paint effect, but as my love of pastel pink and gold [especially gold glitter] continues, it was inevitable:
I began by hanging my baubles to dry, but tape them to your table top and they wont budge for the second or third layer either:![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI1-9OV3A-g5mnpaX6gvJe0lllcIcCpphPf3yYVjO5sMc5fLsOl3r2UAzmZSFJimGfguyCSbU9IYGctWf4pbE1XDJbDDqbDFPJTgZAdfAuvpTdAzvlk66GfYAlhbpQi4Zxl40c7cmHweY/s640/8.jpg)
