They look so cool all shiny with the nail polish. Lots of these added to your garden would be fabulous

You are so clever. What a fun idea with great results. You can use up those old nail polish bottles you no longer use. Thank you.

This is a great idea! My littles love to collect rocks when go to the beach but never do anything with them after. This gives me some great ideas to kill two birds with one stone (pardon the pun)!

These look so cute. We’ve done rock painting before, but with regular kids’ paints so they look a bit dull and washed out compared to these, with the bold and glossy colours. I don’t paint my nails, but am sure I could pick up some polish cheap at the $2 shop!
