Craft Paint as Polish?

I read somewhere that you can use craft paint as long as you use a base coat and seal it after with a topcoat. If you don't seal it after then the paint will wash off when you get your hands wet. Also it was recommended that a topcoat be re-applied every other day to preserve the artwork. My manis never last that long before I wig out and change it up. :)

Owls have been popping up in various communications I've had recently. Also I watched the new Clash of the Titans, but I'm an old school clash fan. I noticed they brought back the clockwork owl for all of five seconds in the new one. It made me giggle. A friend tweeted a picture of fake fluffy white owls all lined up on a store shelf and began referencing our all time favorite movie ever: Labyrinth. :) So I thought I'd try painting owl inspired nail art.



I was impressed with the craft paint. It has me super excited because I have like umpty-billion colours of it down in my basement. Yay hours more fun with my nails and I don't have to spend another dime! Here's a slightly blurry photo of the owl on my thumb. I apologize but both the weather and my camera were uncooperative today.




And this is a quick shot of my piggies. Tim Burton Style. :P



I'll be back again tomorrow to post further explorations with craft paint.

Hearts off the charts!
