The Manicured Collection!!

Here is where it starts getting interesting!! My wife helped me out with these ones!! She did all the painting, and I did the casting and turning.

All of these were made using all types of nail polish!

Let me know what you think! All CC welcome.

Tell your wife she did well. Now show us a picture of your hands so we can see if you help her with her colour experiments.

Those are well done and very attractive !! . Are they cast in clear resin ?

Three of them seem to have a "cracked" pattern ... for example the blue and black one in the middle of the center photo. How did you do that ?

Crackle finger nail polish

If it is cracked they sell nail polish called crackle which dries faster on the outside than the inside and thus you end up with a crackled appearance. Happens with CA finishes sometimes usually on your best blank. Outside dries and then the inside dries causing the outer shell to crack.

Patterson, you and your wife have done an excellent job on these pens!

Wonderful collaborative effort!

A very Nice collection! I just finished painting a few myself and cast them this afternoon. I was hoping the resin didn't react with the paint. This gives me hope. Thanks for sharing!
