Decorate a wine glass using nail polish!


My friend, and co worker gave me this idea.  I wanted to get a special wine glass for my friend, who will be celebrating her birthday!  You can buy those painted wine glasses at the store, that cost about $25.00 each.  I decided to try making my own!

I found this wine glass at the "Dollar Tree" for a dollar, and I also found this " art deco" nail polish to decorate with. I also found this nail polish at the dollar store.   I have always heard of using nail polish to decorate glass with.  This nail polish works better than other kinds, because the brush is tall and skinny. 


Since this was my first time trying this, I tried to keep the design simple.



I really liked the result. I guess we will find out for sure if this was successful for sure when I attempt to wash it. ( by hand of course)

  7. Cute idea, but how long does it last? Will it eventually chip off, or will the polish stay on the glass indefinitely?

  8. Cute and creative project. But how long does the polish stay on the glass? Does it stay on indefinitely, or does it eventually chip off?
