(quick sneak peek of a purse i made)

when i was out shopping in a craft store i came across these pots of thousands of tiny metal balls
and thought, hey, why don't i smother my nails in them
so i did
and although they didn't stick perfectly i kind of like them
possibly not for everyday, as well, they fall off if you do anything more than try to open a can

i sent a picture after i'd done them to a friend, proud as i was after painstakingly dipping every nail in the pot - possibly why I've never heard of anyone doing this before
she replied with: Brilliant nails. They're ridiculous.

this may have something to do with the picture she received too

ps. to those asking how this was done i shall post a little 'how-to' for all
