DIY: brush handles

I transformed my inexpensive brushes into much prettier ones using three nail colours- Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro's Wild Orchid and Steel Grey, as well as Revlons Minted. I found that thicker polishes worked best, as they covered a larger area and became opaque a lot quicker, leaving the brush clump free. It only took a few minutes per brush, and depending on the colour used you may need to do a second coat. I would recommend putting a top coat or something over top to protect them from chipping, although I have not yet done so. You could also use paint if you wanted a matte look, but I think I prefer the shine myself.
