Getting our hands on clothes, any clothes was the objective, didn’t matter what it looked like or if it even matched. These were not fashion statements! This was our basic survival instinct to not go naked in the world! People! We were not wearing that fashion because it was fashionable! We were wearing it because it was literally all we had! Shirts too big because they were hand me downs from other siblings or our parents, non matching socks in random weird looking shoes, mom jeans. Honestly, I think it triggered my PTSD from that time. Everyone is always so nostalgic about that time, but I feel like I really need to say something because when Courtney came out, her clothing line brought back many memories, most not good. I am not, never have been, never will be a fan of 80’s clothes. As much as I love Caboodle and Care Bears etc. Okay, I really need to clarify something for those who were not born in the 80’s like I was. Here you can see where I also painted the rim and the latch of the case. If you don’t touch it, it will dry to a nice glossy sheen. You can do touch ups later when it is fully dry. Just don’t do it! You will smudge the bejeezus out of it. Don’t go near it, don’t be tempted to fix anything on it. Like I said, it dries fast, so pour it on, smooth it out, and then just leave it alone. Fifth, work quickly, and try not to mess with the nail polish too much once it’s on there. ![]() Fourth, thin layers of nail polish dry very quickly, so it is actually easier to pour it on and then gently smooth it out with the brush. Also, have non acetone polish remover and Q tips and cotton swabs nearby to tackle spills and smears. I painted this outside on my deck and left it out there to dry. Secondly, nail polish SMELLS! I mean, it reeks BAD. Nothing worse than getting halfway through a project and having your colour run out. This actually turned out super cute!! First, and I have to insist on this very firmly:Ī few other things I should mention, if you have ever painted anything with nail polish be sure that you have enough of the colour you are using.
