I found this super cheap ring from Forever 21 (I never go in there, but a friend mentioned it to me at Alt and I thought I would give it another try) and I fell in love with the design. But it needed color. My paints and brushes were no where to be found so I pulled together the next best thing: nail polish and Q-Tips.

Materials: 1. nail polish (turquoise + red) 2. Q-Tips® Precision Tips
Pour your first color of nail polish out on to a clean surface and dip your Q-tip in the polish. Start painting the tiny details. Let the nail polish dry and then do another coat. The nail polish dries very quickly, so it won’t take long.
Get your next color out and start painting the same way as the first. For larger areas like the one I painted red, you’ll definitely want to do several coats or nail polish to make sure its evenly covered.
Finish with a clear top coat if you have one and you are good to go!
Here’s the finished piece.
