Paint stars with colorful polish

Once the white paint coat is dry, use your other nail polish colors to start painting the stars. Try and paint roughly the same number of stars each color, mixing the star sizes, and allow the paint to dry. For a super-opaque finish, paint two coats.Do-It-Yourself: DIY Star Necklace
