You Will Need (3 things)

  • size to fit finger Compression Sleeve
  • favorite color Nail Polish
  • Scissors

Steps (4 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    find a compression sleeve at the hardware that fits on the figure that you want to wear it on. a little note: these are very malleable, so please take the ring off when you are working.
    rough it up a bit on the inside using sandpaper or the tip of a pair of scissors. it will help the paint stick.

  2. 2

    paint the inside of the ring. you can hold it with tweezers if you don't want to get your fingers messy.
    let it dry and then add a second coat.

  3. 3

    now rough up the outside of the ring and paint.
    again allow to dry and then paint a second coat.

  4. 4

    you could also add a coat of clear polish to the outside for added strength.
    but that's it. it's ready to wear.
