How it’s done? Get a bowl of water, pour little bits of all the different shades you want, it should float on the top, swirl with a toothpick or something like it and when it looks like you want on top of the water, then dip your nails through the water, put vaseline on your fingers (not the nails) so that the paint doesnt get on your skin.

Will this work with other brands or is just china glaze?

THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN
The famous landmark Hollywood sign was erected high up in the Hollywood Hills in 1923 at a cost of $21,000. When originally built, the sign spelled out ‘Hollywoodland’ in letters thirty feet wide and fifty feet high, and was studded with thousands of light bulbs. A man living in a small hut behind the sign was employed full-time to change the light bulbs when necessary. The last four letters of the sign fell away in a mudslide during World War II and were never replaced.
The Hollywood sign has been the site of frequent suicide attempts; the first to jump to her death from the sign was failed startlet Peg Entwhistle, who took her last leap in 1932.
The dilapidated sign was declared a historic landmark in 1973 and was completely replaced in 1978 at a cost of $27,000 per letter.
Outside England‘s Bristol Zoo there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, it’s parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant. The fees were £1.40 for cars and £7 for buses.
Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missing a day of work, he just didn’t show up; so the Zoo Management called the City Council and asked it to send them another parking agent.
The Council did some research and replied that the parking lot was the Zoo’s own responsibility.
The Zoo advised the Council that the attendant was a City employee.
The City Council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the City payroll.
Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain or France or Italy … is a man who’d apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own and then had simply begun to show up every day, commencing to collect and keep the parking fees, estimated at about £560 per day — for 25 years.
Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over 7 million pounds … and no one even knows his name.
what a man.
I think this is amazing. Bravo, parking man. Bravo!
