Cell phone cases can be an extension of your personality, so consider decorating your case, as it’s a great way to freshen up your gadgetry and make it look more fun and interesting. Nail polish is a good place to start, as it’s permanent, waterproof and durable. Not to mention it is readily available, relatively inexpensive and it comes in a wide variety of colors. In short it’s the perfect way to give your case some spunk. Here’s how to trick out your case:
First, start with a solid color case. The lighter, the more opportunity you will have to add color. It’s a good idea to plan ahead and decide on your design in advance. Test the colors and design beforehand on a napkin, so you don’t mess up on the actual case.
Then, when you’re ready to put the zing in your ring, apply a basecoat. Depending on the nail polish and the look that you want, you might need to apply more than one coat of polish.
Once you have the desired effect for the base coat, let it dry and then you can start painting on layers and adding shapes and designs to make your phone case glamorous.
When you have finished painting the case, place a topcoat on your design to protect it from wear and tear. Nail polish is durable, but it can chip or flake off if you aren’t careful. A topcoat will ensure that your lovely creation is protected. Add some glitter, stickers or feathers to finish off your masterpiece. Others will be envious at your fashion sense, with a matching motif for your fingernails and your phone!
